WaPo calls RP supporters names

[JacobSzumniak]

In the Loop: How can Romney make Ron Paul fans his buds? Back pot legalization. Here’s a radical proposal for Mitt Romney : If he wants to pick up the much-coveted support of Ron Paul ’s energized and organized “army,” the best way to their hearts might be through their lungs.

We don’t expect the teetotaling former Massachusetts governor, who has said he supports the federal ban on marijuana, to take the leafy bait — but there are a few reasons it might not be such a wacky idea, once the GOP field has shaken out and he’s the last man standing.

Wow so now we're all just some potheads.

Just remember, people such as themselves, are the reason why thousands of people suffer at the hands of their government.

 

[JacobSzumniak]

I mean I totally agree that pot should be legalized but I think its just disrespectful to label us as that.

The only accurate sentence in the article:

"First, Paul’s supporters could be quite valuable to the eventual GOP nominee."

I love how often the media likes to put "energized and organized" (and their various permutations) in the same context as "being potheads" ... seems they've never seen, read about, or met anyone who actually was, "energized and organized" are not commonly the first descriptives employed

House rule #23: every time a major outlet calls us potheads, smoke a bong hit

 

[Lishy]

What's wrong with wanting to smoke pot?

Don't you know we're outside the mainstream of every decent American.

It's funny that they're speculating another possible future flip-flop by Mitt.

 

[Scott_in_PA]

I saw this too and could only think how bad it must be for them.

Ron Paul ’s energized and organized “army,”

Did they just throw the stupid and lazy talking point the window.

It is a compliment to be energized and organized

Good catch! I read it, but didn't process it.

pot is the only thing that cures my adhd, bipolar and social anxiety.

HAHA, I love it, they inadvertently correlate energized and organized with "potheads". Not saying it isn't possible, just funny that they probably meant this as another smear piece for Dr. Pauls supporters.

Pot is bad, mmk?

Now, here...

take this Adarol, Ridilin, etc, etc.

Moral of the story:

We're a bunch of energetic, organized, young and enthusiastic potheads whose support is "much coveted" and valuable to the GOP.

The authors words, not mine.

That's nothing on what I say about Wa Po.

Game, set, and match. (good thing we have such deeply credible news outlets in this country, I shudder to think about how things would go without them )

HEH. Jeez, can you imagine if these people had any level of competency?

I consider myself to be a reasonably creative person, and I gotta tell you imagining that is a struggle.

putting people in groups. typical.

I, for one, am not a pothead.

I don't even touch drugs.

Thanks, assholes.

 

[AGRP]

Energized and organized pot heads who are outperforming everyone else in politics?

What kind of pot do the writers at Wapo smoke?
