During his Friday morning radio broadcast, Glenn Beck fielded calls from Ron Paul supporters, with each caller progressively reaching new depths of radicalism.

The initial phone-in went pretty well, coming from what Glenn called a rational Paul supporter. Feeling comfortable, Glen went on to the next caller, a man named Tom from Florida, but it didn’t take long for the “passion,” and, conspiracy theories to emerge.  Tom first accused Glenn of being on the payroll of the pro-Israel lobby.  Then, while defending Paul’s foreign policy, the caller declared that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, along with Osama bin Laden, were not at all crazy.

“Hey, Glenn, how are you?” opened the caller. “I’m definitely a Ron Paul supporter, and I definitely believe that your interests for America are put after Israel’s interests, and you’re operating on behalf of Israel and not America.”

“I believe you took your 30 pieces of silver for Israel over America,” he continued.

After accusing Glenn of shilling for Israel, the caller went on to say that bin Laden was justified in his actions because Americans have “bombed his people and…killed his women and children with bombs and airplanes.”

Glenn then sarcastically asked the caller: “Osama Bin Laden and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, they’re not crazy?”  To which the caller replied, “no,” pressing, “What makes Ahmadinejad crazy? What makes him crazy?”

Of course, there wasn’t much to the call after that. Glenn thanked the caller and joked that he was doing a real “service” to Ron Paul by spouting such rhetoric.

“This guy’s crazy, I believe uneducated, a conspiracy theorist, and a bigot,” concluded Glenn.

Considering the controversial views of some of his supporters, is Paul’s candidacy for President served well by the more radical elements of his base?

I heard that call as it happened and I had to resist the urge to punch my computer monitor. For the most part, I think ron paul is a decent guy (and I love the vast majority of his domestic views––-especially where the economy is concerned) but he's flat out wrong on many of his foreign policy views and a good portion of his followers are absolutely crazy.

Some people need to be reminded that we have a LOT more pressing matters in this country than this shit.



Nothing like seeing people who should be allies tearing at one another while ignoring the man who is trying to raise our national debt by ANOTHER $1.2 Trillion.



This is EXACTLY what is discrediting to RP and his supporters.
Leave that "troofer" shit until AFTER we deal with the REAL enemy.

In an attempt to discredit Paul the media has been trying to find the craziest people they can that will say they support Paul. This should make no difference but somehow people are so affected by propaganda and opinion that they will be instantaneously swayed one way or another.

If a Neo-Nazi said I'm a Romney supporter, would that mean anything about Romney at all? No. However some media and arfcommers alike would use it as evidence to support their stance.

Except in your example it would be an aberration.

Anyone paying attention can see a pretty clear pattern of who the nutcases seem to support the majority of the time.


Ahhh, but thats your opinion and in MY opinion quite the over generalization.  Many would say that Beck is a complete nutcase, or those other crazy Mormons, or Fanatical Christians, or Republicans, or Dems.  Think critically for a couple of seconds and see that your reality is subjective.

Once you see this you realize it (what nutcases do or don't do) is not a leg to stand on when considering a potential POTUS, or much anything else.

The facts regarding the persons policies are what matter here. But of course if we stuck to that the 24 hour propaganda machines would run out of material real quick.

Except Romney doesn't hold neonazi views.  Most of these crazy RP supporters are actually mirroring versions of RPs views. That's why everyone calls RP a cook.

I'm so sick of Paulbots blaming the media and conspiracy for the politiical situation.  They're so stuk in their own bubble they can't understand that there are a ton of Obama supporters and, from all of the people I've talked to that aren't arfcommers, there are a ton of Romney supporters out there.

I tell you what- show me how many supporters of other candidates on this board support Bradley Manning or have been apologists for what he has done, and I will see how many Paul supporters I can find that do the same.

Or even better, go over to Stormfront, the epicenter of the neo-Nazi universe online. They are full of nothing but Ron Paul love in their political forums. They are having fund drives, printing Ron Paul brochures to send out, I mean the white nationalists are hard core Pualbots.

It is my opinion, yes, but one formed by lots of observation of verifiable behavior.



But what does it mean? What does it mean that Neo Nazis like RP.  So do a great deal of College students. It means nothing. What matters is your opinion of his policies.  It seems extremely ignorant to support or refrain from supporting someone because you don't like another person who is doing the same. Honestly it seems like something fourth graders would do.

It's just a matter of time before the usual crowd shows up to slander Ron Paul as being an anti-semite.  So I'll post the following paragraph from Mike Kreiger to put that bullshit to bed:

"This clip was an insult to me as someone who is Jewish and to all of those Jews I know personally that support Mr. Paul.  What is so ironic about this whole anti-Semitic argument is that the guy that is seen as the most influential figure in Austrian economics (the economic perspective that Ron Paul adheres to) is Lugwig Von Mises.  Guess what?  He was Jewish.  How about Murray Rothbard, the economist that  popularized Austrian economics in the last couple of decades?  Also Jewish.  Then during Ron’s 2008 run his economic advisor was Peter Schiff.  Another Jew.  For an anti-Semite this guy sure surrounds himself with a lot of Jews. "

As for Israel, I don't understand why so many of you guys have a hard-on for them.  You accuse Bradley Manning of "treason", yet support sending billions of taxpayer dollars to Israel, who spies on us and attacks our ships.  You bash Obama daily for socialism, yet Israel makes him look like Reagan on economics.  We don't have a treaty with Israel, but many of you insist it is our job to take sides and defend them.

I voted Paul in primaries of '08 and I plan on voting for him again this year, but I definitely do not agree with many RP supporters on stances of Israel and Iran, etc..

They take Paul's message, which still would be considered outside of the standard or status quo, and twist it.

I do agree that our actions we have taken for self interest in the past have certainly influenced many events that have taken place.  I think we need think twice before meddling in any countries affairs in the future and think of the possiblelong term side effects along with our immediate self interest (include long term self interest as well).  Make wise decisions.  However, what is done is done and you can't change the fact that Iran is aggressive, we have groups that mean us harm, etc.. We need to support Israel.

Beck is a tool.  He talks a good game, but stabs the Liberty Movement in the back at critical junctions.  Examples are how he destroyed Debra Medina in 2010 and how he helped to defeat Ron Paul in 2008.

Yes, yes. Part of the grand Bilderberger Conspiracy in concert with the Military Industrial Complex and the Trilateral Committee. It has nothing to do with the lunacy that falls from Paul's cake hole every time he opens it.
