When I posted Ace's upbraiding of Paul supporters (along with the hilarious video he included in his post) in "Leave Ron Paul Alone!", I assumed everyone was up on the latest Ron Paul news from the last couple of weeks, but it may have been drowned out by the coverage of Iowa and New Hampshire.
First, the newsletters Paul sent out - for a fee - for nearly 20 years were shown to contain anti-semitic and white supremacist rhetoric and references, and plenty of lunatic fringe conspiracy theories. The Paul people denied he wrote it, though - as though you could send out two newsletters for DECADES and not know who you hired to write them or what was in them (evidence on its own of gross incompetence, at the least). Plausible deniability? Well, not for rational people, but then, rational people don't flock to nut cases.
Now, a long letter (8 typewritten, single spaced pages) has turned up on Paul's letterhead, over his signature, filled with similar stuff - including the insane claim that the new counterfeit-resistance currency contains some mysterious chemical which can track you. Yep.
Read the whole thing yourself in PDF form.
Paul also goes on to rail against the "money men" and "power brokers" - but WE all know who he's talking about, don't we? And "the coming race war" . . . no wonder the neo-Nazis love the guy!
If you suffer through the entire screed, you will notice its main purpose seems to be to induce the reader to subscribe to Paul's newsletters, which I mentioned briefly above.
I've got some other funny Ron Paul supporter videos, but apparently the multimedia distracts those of limited mental capacity, so I'll omit them. Maybe later, in a separate post with parental controls.

Well, in 10-12 years most of the Paul-bots will have graduated, grown up, moved out of their parents' basements, obtained gainful employment, and become rational and productive citizens.
Notice I didn't say "all" of them, however...
Cheers,

Ya gotta "love" the P.S. just after the Paul signature: "Your subscription may be tax-deductable."
So you may, or not get reimbursed by the U.S. Gov for the ability to read his nonsensical crap.

BTW, Wolf Blitzer asked a Paul spokes-crank about the letters and it was hard to tell who did a better Fred Astair impression as they both danced around the main issue.

Ron Paul won the TEXT-IN viewer poll - which proves his supporters have phones that "text" and know how to use the function.
Any rational person who saw that debate would conclude Paul had his head handed to him, despite the lack of tough follow-up questioning (being the "publisher" of a small newsletter insulates you from responsibility for the content? Believe me, I worked for several newspapers, including two which were part of a Fortune 100 financial group - and continually saying things editorially of which the publisher did not approve was not a good career move. Even major "publishers" know what the hell is being put out under their name in the newspaper, not to mention what is said on their letterhead over their signature).
I qualified the statement to exempt you, of course.

"Ron Paul won the TEXT-IN viewer poll"-ja
He did? (Great!) But RP did so well in the real-time debate that I didn't even feel the need to wait around for text confirmation OR post-debate interview. That's how well I knew he did.
Why? Having the normally ULTRA-hard-core S.C. GOP audience whoop it up for Paul all evening. That's huge! Tectonic.
Not that RP will win in the end, but his message is getting through. It's a beautiful thing! Have a Coke!

Paul declined his invitation to the post-debate interview, saying he had "another event" - although no one seems to know what it was. Of course, some of those "events" tend to avoid publicity, as we know.

bryanD - "Ron Paul OWNED the S.C. debates!
Good to see you're consistent. Consistently delusional no matter if it's at Blue or when you saunter over here.
Paul "owned" othing but a bunch of droids that spam all the text polling offered.
Give me a single, as in one, as in uno an example where his text polling has translated into anything close to actual votes cast.
lalalala - "Not that RP will win in the end, but his message is getting through. It's a beautiful thing! Have a Coke!
Getting thru to who?
The birds in the trees?
Oh wait, I see your point now. His message is getting thru. As in thru an empty headed buffoon's ear, a/k/a PaulBot, and sailing right thru to the other side of their empty noggins.
Gotcha, I don't know how I missed that.

None of the focus groups being used thought Paul did ANYTHING in the debate other than run his mouth. The Fox group and two others I'm aware of called it for Thompson.

BTW, as opposed to the "conventional wisdom" that seems to indicate Paul's worst moment was when he feigned not hearing Hume's question as related to Iran.
I disagree, his worst moment, actually his most demented, was when he made ref to a U.S. Admiral saying on ABC News that the Iranian voices on the tape had come from somewhere other than the speedboats.
That was immediately preceded by his normal ref to the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the implication being it was all fake, or a set-up for war with Iran.
Of course it never occurred to this nutcake that it may very well have come from the Iranian Naval shore station as they monitored the incident and is just to the north-east of the incidents location.
The guy is a complete and total whackjob.

I should have checked ABC News before posting the last.
Here's the title of their article: "U.S.: Voices on Recording May Not Have Been From Iranian Speedboats"
Well gee, that's what Paul said...but here's the subtitle: "Chilling Threat Could Have Come From the Shore or Another Ship, Navy Says"
Paul is such a lying dingbat he MUST be Beelzebub's comic foil.
