I heard there was some kind of altercation between the asshole truthers and Tucker Carlson. They supposedly scared him off & he stopped being MC. What exactly happened?? I also heard the truthers were chanting "911 was an inside job" during the Ventura speech. Why wont the truthers just go away or shut the hell up? It seems they use this movement of small government, free markets & anti-war and turned it into a conspiracy theory camp. It really angers me that they are destroying the movement.
1) Why didn't you post this in hot topics? By posting it on the main forum you are causing the very problems you claim truthers cause.
2) If you
really are concerned about truthers, why start a thread that's an obvious flamebait which will only cause an issue you wish wasn't prominent to be so? (See point #1). I don't like racism, but I don't go around posting "anti racist" threads because it would invariably bring up the very discussions I wish to avoid.
3) Why do you think Ron Paul invited two prominent truthers to speak at the CFL? Do you think he was hoping they would "go away" or "shut up"?
4) Considering the fact that Ron Paul received over
TWICE the votes in 2008 with truther support than he did in 1988 without it, how can you honestly claim that truthers are "destroying the movement"?
5) Does it bother you when Ron Paul repeatedly goes on the Alex Jones show and makes
major campaign announcements? For example the CFL was first announced on the Alex Jones show. Would Dr. Paul do that if he really wanted truthers to "go away"?
6) Do you understand that the MSM dismisses a lot of Ron Paul's positions as "conspiracy theory"? The North American Union. The NAFTA superhighway. The illegality of the income tax. The idea that the Federal Reserve is undermining the U.S. economy. All of that has been repeatedly dismissed as "conspiracy theory". So any movement associated with Ron Paul will get a "conspiracy theory" tag attached to it regardless of 9/11.
7) Do you realize that Dr. Paul is no longer running for president? I know I'm belaboring the obvious here, but this is an important point. We are in a new phase now. It's no longer about electing a particular candidate to a particular office during one particular election cycle. If it was I doubt Dr. Paul would have invited governor Ventura to speak in the first place. And really you throwing a hissy fit is insulting to Dr. Paul's intelligence. Obviously there were going to be a large number of truthers at the rally. (The only obvious reason for announcing this first on Alex Jones was to insure some of his listeners would attend to help swell the crowd). Obviously there was a risk of governor Ventura saying
something related to 9/11. Obviously there was a risk that such a combination would erupt in a 9/11 chant. It's as obvious as the risk of smoking while pumping gasoline. If what happened concerns you so much get involved with the CFL leadership so you can try to tell Dr. Paul what to do. Or better yet shut up and go away your own self.
