Ron Paul compares Ed Brown to Gandhi

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

10 minutes ago

New Hampshire's convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown have gained a new supporter: presidential hopeful Ron Paul.

In an interview with RogueGovernment.com, the Texas congressman compares the Browns to Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Junior. He says the Browns are suffering like those leaders.

The Browns are holed up in their Plainfield (New Hampshire) home and have threatened violence against federal officials if marshals come to arrest them. They were convicted of an elaborate scheme to hide millions of dollars in income. Their protest has become a rallying cry for anti-tax activists and militia members.

Huh? Howz zat? I don't understand the comparison. Didn't Gandi and Dr. King advocate peaceful protest, and haven't the two tax nuts threatened violence?
 
Yep Ron paul

So are we done with this fringe looney yet.?

Now we can just deal with the mainstream loonies

I hear a trumpet playing Taps.

I guess strict constructionist Ron Paul doesn't believe in the 16th amendment.

Here's the original, original source:ROGUEGOVERNMENT.COM: EXPOSING GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER

I think what's worse than supporting loonies, is lacking of wisdom to hire a PR guy who'd tell you, "Um, Mr. Paul, please for the love of God don't do interviews with fringe groups trying to expose the "new world order." Pretty please."
 
meh, I will still vote for him, yeah it was a dumb thing to say, however its not like politicians have never said something dumb before

George Bush has said enough stupid stuff to fill a NYC phone book
 
Surprise surprise....ANOTHER Bush hater......^^^^^^off topic enough to qualify for the phone book you referenced?
 
I really hate to point this out.

But Ron Paul was already such a fringe candidate that his "political suicide" won't even be a blip on the political radar.

Even if you really, really like Ron Paul's positions, he was, at best, going to get slightly more votes than Badnarik did last time, but probably not quite as many votes as either Pat Buchanan or Ralph Nader typically get.

possum
 
Ya know WA your sarcasm (even if you MAY be correct this time...) is getting pretty old. I would love to see the nation of WA's. A daring and thought provoking nation they would be....any more and I will go over the top I will stop now.
 
Ron Paul's worst enemy is Ron Paul. Its not the media conspiracy or the RNC, or even the illuminati (whatever the hell that is). Its Dr. Paul continually inserting his foot in his mouth.

Please dont tell me you are talking about Gulianni and his inablity to read the 9/11 commission report.

Gulianni is horrible. I almost think I would rather have Hillary. :barf:
 
Surprise surprise....ANOTHER Bush hater.

I dont hate Bush, I just think he is absurdly incompentent. I am sure history will absolve me to. :D

BTW if your a "real" conservative, you should not be to happy with Bush since its his incompentant handling of the Iraq war that has cost the republicans congress.

There is a better than 2 out of 3 chance of that in this fair nation.

More interesting is the last sentence of the quoted text in the OP: Apparently all militia members are wackos.
 
Wow! Didn't take long for the hit-squad to start in on this :D Everyone flappin' their gums, and none of 'em actually saw the interview. How very, very typical :rolleyes:
 
Ed & Elaine Brown: The real interview

Uh-oh!

It appears that somebody wasn't quite honest in their description of this interview, and others were a wee bit hasty in their cries of outrage over it.
Apparently somebody feels very threatened by Dr. Paul.

Good. :cool:
