Go team go

Just reading new book on Ron Paul. Fascinating. Ron sure model of consistency, right or wrong. Any tweeters wish to debate?

What book is he referring to?

Twitter is a horrible format for debates.

That's cool that he at least is reading about Ron. I wonder what book is he reading?

Not with Rupert Murdoch. He's not a very deep thinker. I have to admire his empire, though.

 

[kylejack]

Ron Paul's rEVOLution: The Man and the Movement He Inspired, by Brian Doherty was just published. Could be that one.

My guess would be Ron Paul's rEVOLution: The Man and the Movement He Inspired. I suppose media moguls get advanced releases of such things.

Could be the Brian Doherty book. Wouldn't surprise me if he had early access.

This will be thousands of fake accounts spewing nonsense. No thank you.

Okay, I did a little research. Broadside Books http://www.broadsidebooks.net/ is a subsidiary of Harper Collins and published Doherty's book. Murdoch owns Harper Collins. Geez, this guy owns everything.

Well, that would definitely explain how he got an advance copy then. What a privileged character, I wish I could read that now

Yes, it's a massive tabloid currently embroiled in a phone hacking scandal.

Also, they literally put topless women on their third page. A completely classless institution, the Sun.
