I think some owe Mr. Kokesh some apologies.

No wonder Jesse was so paranoid of him.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

Anyone else thinking it was Ron Paul?

Tate, he was the other top person who has dealt with Tom from the last campaign/C4L. Or Debbie Hopper. But Tate makes more sense.

This is comforting because I like Weed. err Wead haha

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?!

Reminds me of that saying in the military about polishing a turd.

Yes that would have to be the one.

Too many people here think exactly as Benton does...unfortunately. Don't hold your breath waiting for that apology.

 

[NewRightLibertarian]

Ugh, it makes me sick how that piece of trash Benton let his personal vendettas get in the way of running an effective campaign. I wish nothing but the worst for him moving forward.

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

I certainly agree. The way that Adam Kokesh was maligned and sullied is unbelievable, all the while Benton was doing what he did. I never liked Jesse Benton--it wasn't because of any one thing, it was a gut instinct from day one. All the hard work Dr. Paul and the grassroots had put forth then to be taken down by Benton truly makes me sick.

 

[jllundqu]

Benton = God damn viper

Benton = God damn viper

Off-topic, but may I ask how you got that handle? With one less letter, it would look like a rack of Scrabble tiles that you'd want to swap for new ones if possible.

 

[puppetmaster]

I do know that the next person that runs a liberty campaign has a great list of pro liberty folks to use on a quality real grassroots Gorilla style campaign!! Hire these guys and we will pay them for you!!

Woods
Wead

etc......

Ron's greatest strength AND weakness is family.

Ron's greatest strength AND weakness is family.

Yes. You know he is smart enough too to recognize a opportunist snake too.

 

[anaconda]

Sooooooo, is Rand going to hire Mr. Benton in 2015-2016?

Rand is in the party now. He can win without us.

Ive been erring on the side of caution with rgds to benton and usually gave him the benefit of the doubt. when i first saw woods rip benton in his video i was really dissapointed in tom mostly because of the timing of it. hearing about bentons email to schiff and now this, i really cant be a supporter of benton any longer. i still wouldnt say he was compromised or consciously destructive to the RP campaign, but i believe he has his own idea of how things should go and cant handle other opinions professionally.

I have great respect for Mr. Woods. I really know nothing about Mr. Benton, not being interested in such things. But, needless to say, after reading this I now have little-to-no respect for Mr. Benton. Tom Woods is not one to air dirty laundry in public, nor to blow minor personal quarrels out of proportion. To get Tom to write this, Benton had to have behaved really badly. I conclude this Benton character is not one I would want to associate with nor have around.
