Come on, Tom, tell us how you really feel!

 

[kathy88]

Ha. I feel better. Tom always knew the deal. I can't believe it took me so long to figure that little weasel Benton out. Oh well. Better late than never.

 

[TonySutton]

Not surprising, I am glad he let people know the truth.

I'm still not ready to throw Benton completely under the bus. I'm glad he's no longer working within the movement, but I hope some of our ideas, and Ron's ideas, rubbed off on him. Maybe he can sabotage McConnell's campaign?!

Don't hold your breathe. Wonder when Adam is going to come out with a video regarding all this? I may actually watch it.

Great article. He nails it.

Ugh... I think I'll pass on that! Something about him just grates me. I really have no interest in personal feuds, but I am curious about Benton. Do you think he gets the liberty movement and just wants to work his own (misguided) strategy that ends up hurting us, or do you think he hates us because we believe too deeply and we have been standing in his way? It seems to me to be the former and not the latter, but I don't really know him. I like to think Ron Paul would know better.

Wow. A lot to consider there. I respect Tom Woods and his side of the story is believable.

 

[AGRP]

Naively, I assumed another top person, whom I will not name, would be as appalled at Jesse’s behavior toward a longtime supporter as I was. So I (gleefully) forwarded the correspondence to him, only to be told that Jesse’s conduct was not unprofessional at all [!]. But I would not technically be banned from C4L, I was told.

Anyone else thinking it was Ron Paul?

I was guessing Wead.

Jesse Benton, may your name live forever.

Tom Woods is an upstanding guy - I really can't come to grips why Ron had enemies of Liberty like Benton in his campaign - which is the ONLY thing I would ever fault him for.

Marriage and trust?

Marriage and trust?

yep.


I wonder if Ron still supports Benton or not. ohh well, doesn't exactly matter

Yes, at times Ron is almost TOO trusting for his own good.

If Rand chooses Benton to run his campaign in 2016 I will not be donating a single cent, that I know for sure.

Me neither.

How depressing...

I think some owe Mr. Kokesh some apologies.
