“WHY WOULD YOU ATTACK THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN SAVE THIS DECLINING COUNTRY??? WELL??? IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!”

Look at this shouty email your Wonkette editor received today! It is about Ron Paul—and not just in the sense that everything written in all-caps is automatically, in some way, technically “about” Ron Paul. This letter is a Reasonable One though, as its author merely requests that everyone “JUST LAY OFF UNTIL HE WINS IN 2012 PLEASE!!!!” After 2012—uhh if Ron Paul allows there to be a 2012!!—you can all just do what you want.

IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!

RON PAUL WILL KEEP OUR KIDS OUT OF HUMAN-IMPLANT RFID CHIPS.  AND HE

    wat

  2. couchbound says at 8:53 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I say put the darned kids into the darned RFID chips, and be done with it! Soylent RFID!

  3. wordsmoker says at 8:55 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Man, I need to stop drinking kitty litter-filtered vodka and sending those emails.

    Sorry, Julie.

  4. ManchuCandidate says at 8:55 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Hmmmm… Human Implant RFID Chips… Soylenty…

    Note to Paultards, King of the Paultards is the same age as my dad. Already seeing my dad start to lose it a little bit here and there, I can only imagine what Paul is like. If you though Walnuts is OLD (and he is) what do you think Ron Paul is going to be? Every day will be creamed corn and DependsTM day at the White House.

  5. Darkness says at 8:56 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Hey, I’ve been to the mall, bucko. We are currently under Material Law. Learn to spell.

  6. Wait, wait. “Human-implant RFID chips” (see also: Revelation 13:17-18) AND the Amero/NAU in a single paragraph? Is it possible this one was supposed to be RWM satire?

    Oh God it’s impossible to tell the difference between the trolls and the real thing anymore :(

  7. shadowMark says at 8:57 pm, October 19th, 2009

    TODAY WE ARE ALL FILTHY NOGOODNIKS.

  8. Says Wikipedia:
    Executive Order 6102 is an Executive Order signed on April 5, 1933 by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt “forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates” by U.S. citizens.

  9. richardwb1 says at 8:58 pm, October 19th, 2009

    If “ron paul is the only one who can… save our country,”
    we are truly scrood and doomed.

  10. hobospacejunkie says at 8:59 pm, October 19th, 2009

    What’s he gonna win in 2012? The Great American Bake-Off? And why won’t he let us “get” Ameros? Will that be the next Pig AIDS? Or the next Pig AIDS vaccine? ALL CAPS CONFUSETH ME.

  11. your secret boyfriend says at 9:00 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I call shenanegans - this is simply too delicious to be actual Ron Paul USA communication. This has the taint of Official White House Misinformation all over it. Taint.

  12. I guess Ron Paul might be able to, “SAVE OUR COUNTRY,” from all what that feller said he would. Though it don’t seem he can do much at all about his bat-shit crazy followers.

  13. grevillea says at 9:01 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Thank you for your letter to Wonkette. We are always gratified when readers take the time to join the discussion and write in. May I however point out that IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!
    Yours faithfully, Letters Editor.

  14. saggyboobedhag says at 9:02 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Everyone knows there is another man who can save this country: Our Lord and Savior Jesus H. Christ! Who, according to the Mayans, will be here December 2012. Get with the program, Redacted.

  15. AnSnarkist says at 9:03 pm, October 19th, 2009

    sra: Clearly discrimination against alchemists and other alternative scientist (You know, like the ones that say the Earth is 6000 years old).

  16. Michelle Bachmann? Is that you?

  17. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 9:04 pm, October 19th, 2009

    That crazy Larry Kudlow, who will he email next!?

  18. hobospacejunkie says at 9:04 pm, October 19th, 2009

    FIFTY-THOUSAND FIFTY-THOUSAND FIFTY-THOUSAND WATTS OF FUNKIN’

    RON PAUL FOR NORTH AMERICAN UNION DJ 2012 RFID CHIPS FOR ALL OUR CHILDRENS HOARD YOUR GOLD THE LIZARD PEOPLE ARE COMING. I SAW IT ON THE ABC NETWORK.

  19. biggiantannoyingthing says at 9:04 pm, October 19th, 2009

    But what if I *WANT* AMEROS!? Huh, (if that’s really your name)!??!

  20. Extemporanus says at 9:05 pm, October 19th, 2009

    “I FIND IT SICKENING THAT’D YOU’D DERIDE OUR NATION’S ONLY VIABLE HOPE!

    Sorry Juli, but I’m with’d Greta on this one.

  21. Extemporanus says at 9:07 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Balloon Dad, is that you?

  22. grevillea says at 9:08 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Why, Wonkette, why? Unless… oh God… you’re part of the conspiracy! Of course! How could I have been so blind?

  23. BTW: What exactly are “RFID CHIPS” anyway? Rural Free Intelligent Design snack food? Eh?

  24. knobwurst says at 9:09 pm, October 19th, 2009

    If i can’t have an amero, can I have a camero? Cuz they’re bitchin!

  25. DickTaterPeeNoShay says at 9:10 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Mr. or Ms. Redacted,
    Please get the RFUK chip out of YOUR head!

  26. Extemporanus says at 9:11 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Extemporanus: That’s right, I’m talking to you hobospacejunkie.

  27. RFID chips, great with salsa.

  28. petehammer says at 9:15 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Quote seems perfect:

    “Please accept my resignation. I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.”

  29. Mr Blifil says at 9:16 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Well? WELL??? WWWEEEEELLLLLL?????????????

    STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER!!!

  30. user-of-owls says at 9:17 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Athar: Mulberry, RFID.

  31. Joshua Norton says at 9:17 pm, October 19th, 2009

    To blatantly steal a line from the episode of “Mad Men” last night when a suck-up told his boss his speech was “rousing”. His boss looked at him and asked “Do you mean Churchill rousing or Hitler rousing”?

    Ron Paul and the Paulettes have yet to figure out the difference.

  32. user-of-owls says at 9:19 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I whored my Gold Certificate and bitch shorted me.

  33. Neoyorquino says at 9:21 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Rule 54: CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL. If only ‘Redacted’ could have remembered Rule 55.

  34. user-of-owls says at 9:24 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I FIND IT SICKENING THAT’D YOU’D
    DERIDE OUR NATION’S ONLY VIABLE HOPE!

    That’d be the day that I died. Ooo Ooo.

  35. user-of-owls: Ken Berry sucked the well dry! I don’t think he even got a second season out of that gig. It didn’t work then and it sure as hell won’t work now.

  36. wordsmoker: No no, don’t blame yourself! You had the good bits…I’m the one with the little CFR (by your COUNTRY ELITES save) and ORDER 6102 intromissions. (Ohy, Jeeze.)

  37. he used 2 out of 3 commas correctly, no way he’s a real ron paul supporter

  38. Hunger Tallest Palin says at 9:31 pm, October 19th, 2009

    AND WHAT ABOUT THE WOOKIES ON ENDOR!??!?!

  39. Suds McKenzie says at 9:32 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I got one just like this, but it was from Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatltards??

  40. shadowMark says at 9:33 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I’m just going to pretend that this letter is Sarah Palin trying to make a joke and fit in.

  41. Tommmcatt says at 9:34 pm, October 19th, 2009

    WELL?

  42. Holy Cow!! says at 9:34 pm, October 19th, 2009

    IT’S BECOMING VERY CLEAR THAT RON PAUL IS THE ANTI-CHRIST.

  43. WhatTheHeck says at 9:35 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Dear Redacted,
    After the aliens penetrated you with that universal, caps-lock probe thingy, you were traumatized, nay, sodomized into thinking only a man can save this country.
    The real question is, “Why did the aliens let you go?”

  44. natoslug says at 9:36 pm, October 19th, 2009

    user-of-owls: Are we talking about Ron Paul or Obi-wan? I sense the farce is strong in this one…

  45. hobospacejunkie says at 9:37 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I can’t hear you, Extemporanus, the Lizard People just turned up the volume on my RFID chip to FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS OF FUNKIN’.

  46. Serolf Divad says at 9:39 pm, October 19th, 2009

    If executive order 6102 nullified the constitution in 1933 why are the Paultards so upset that politicians are contravening the Constitution? I mean… it’s been nullified, right? So it’s no longer in force. So who cares what you think. Stop your bitching, Paultards.

  47. Hunger Tallest Palin: President-Amero God Ron Paul will send Sen. Jim Demint on a “fact-finding” mission to figure out if there are, indeed, Wookies on Endor.*

    *But they won’t find any because the EWOKS live there and OH MY GOD knowing that makes me an equal with the Star Wars Paultards for knowing that bit of info.

  48. Diana Davies says at 9:40 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Dude, don’t drive tonight.

  49. shadowMark: Now that is really deep.

  50. President Beeblebrox says at 9:43 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Of COURSE Dr. Paul wants to keep our kids out of RFID chips. They’re so small that it would really really hurt to bend them enough times to fit them into the chips.

    OK, so which one of you Wonketteers wrote this message? Shorts has been awfully quiet lately…

  51. shadowMark says at 9:44 pm, October 19th, 2009

    natoslug: Redacted had to use the caps lock because they just made the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs and hyperspace phased-twisted the part of their brain that sees lower case letters.

  52. shadowMark says at 9:47 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Athar: Sorry. I’m out. Bye.

  53. hoosiermama says at 9:48 pm, October 19th, 2009

    NO AMEROS!!!??! Forget it. Fuck you, Ron Paul.

  54. Gallowglass says at 9:49 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I like that he paused for a WELL???? as if you might somehow have magically answered him. How he could have hear over the sound of all those caps is something we’ll never know.

  55. biggiantannoyingthing says at 9:49 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Wait. How many hobo nickels are in an AMERO?

  56. shadowMark: See that challenge made to the SA forum goons…

  57. I’M NOT 100% IN LOVE WITH YOUR TONE

  58. the problem child says at 10:01 pm, October 19th, 2009

    How will I be able to buy EUROS if I can’t get AMEROS? Ron Paul wants to k kill Canadian tourists!111!

  59. grevillea says at 10:01 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Can’t you see that we have to sacrifice free speech and democracy so that President for Life Commandante LadyDr Paul can restore the Constitution? Are you really that stupid? WELL??!!

  60. biggiantannoyingthing: Boy oh boy! I can tell you’re always the one to have go and get more firewood!

  61. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:03 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Was the missive delivered by blimp?

    And, more importantly, why are Steve Martin and President Obama fighting in your illustration?

  62. Jim89048 says at 10:03 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Son of a bitch, that probably took hours to type one-handed like that! All caps is easier than attempting proper punctuation while fapping away with your non-typing hand, I guess.

  63. Trot Nixon' says at 10:03 pm, October 19th, 2009

    So if none of this happens by 2012, we can all praise Obama for successfully upholding the good doctor’s policies, right? Cause I’m betting we won’t have “Ameros”… unless that’s a new kind of hybrid…

  64. Hunger Tallest Palin says at 10:10 pm, October 19th, 2009

    What the heck is Ameros anyway? Sounds like the god of morning wood.

    The real question is, “Why did the aliens let you go?”

    No, the real question is, “Why didn’t those bastards ever call like they said they would?”

  65. glamourdammerung says at 10:15 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Can Christians be anti-war?
    Yes.
    Can Christians be libertarian?
    No.

  66. Darkness says at 10:15 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Wait, if it’s STILL illegal to hoard gold, why wasn’t Mr. T arrested? And melted down, presumably.

  67. The Little Rock says at 10:17 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Fortunately Executive Order 6102 said nothing about Ameros. I’ve been hoarding those along with my Schrute Bucks for years now. Eat it suckas!

  68. ithasatilde says at 10:21 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Man, I used to be such a dedicated Paultard. It makes me sad that I’ve come so far that when I read this headline on Twitter I automatically assumed it was about Glenn Beck.

  69. Oldskool says at 10:23 pm, October 19th, 2009

    I regret I missed the snark-a-thon that made this guy so upset. I bet it was chock full of jokes, sillyness, sarcasm and other hideous things.

  70. The Little Rock says at 10:24 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Darkness: As it turns out, Cash 4 Gold is a scam. Who knew?

  71. Gallowglass says at 10:25 pm, October 19th, 2009

    sra: Is that really all it took to nullify the Constitution? Man, is Cheney’s face going to be red! All that work and FDR beat him to it.

  72. wallythepug says at 10:28 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Dad?

  73. sweetcandy says at 10:56 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Don’t fear, this is all the Great Ron’s plan. He has set it in stone…….but someone SET A GOD DAMN SWORD IN IT AND NOW WE WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THAT PLAN IS UNTIL SOMEONE REMOVES THAT F#UCKING SWORD!!!!!!

  74. Dolmance says at 10:57 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Mania and stupidity are a potent mix.

  75. Holding Out for a Hero says at 10:57 pm, October 19th, 2009

    This ‘ is an apostrophe and it does not go where you’d put them fella.

  76. nerd1951 says at 11:06 pm, October 19th, 2009
  77. feelings says at 11:07 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Why can’t numbers be capitalized, again?

  78. gjdodger says at 11:10 pm, October 19th, 2009

    biggiantannoyingthing: Or whore diamonds?
    The Little Rock: We buy it! Guess who?

  79. Bearbloke says at 11:13 pm, October 19th, 2009

    biggiantannoyingthing: “How many hobo nickels are in an AMERO?”

    Exactly (e/π)^Φ, at current exchange rates…

  80. SayItWithWookies says at 11:13 pm, October 19th, 2009

    It’s terrible that Wonkette is the third-greatest threat to Ron Paul’s effort to win the presidency and save America in 2012. The two greater threats being Ron Paul and his followers, of course,

  81. petehammer says at 11:33 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Public Service: A translation:

    1. “RON PAUL WILL KEEP OUR KIDS OUT OF HUMAN-IMPLANT RFID CHIPS.” I think the subject and object are reversed here. I think this means keeping Radiofrequency Identification chips (used to prevent shoplifting and for package tracking) out of our children. Filed under “black helicopter” theories.

    2. “AND HE WON’T LET US DIE IN WARS FOR ISRAEL!!” Doubtful this guy is enlisted, but I guess he’s hinting at the conspiracy that the US will bomb Iran/Middle East for Israel. Based on AIPAC’s power, perhaps the most legit of all his (crazy) points.

    3. “HE WON’T LET US GET AMEROS” A conspiracy regarding a single currency for Canada, US, and Mexico. Would make travel easier.

    4. “OR HAVE MANDATORY NATIONAL ID CARDS” See RFID/Black Helicopters above. A government is both highly inept (national healthcare? they’ll just botch it!) but also incredibly efficient (the government can track your every movement and will send federal troops/UN guys to your door).

    5. “OR LET OUR COUNTRY ELITES IN THE CFR CREATE A NORTH AMERICAN UNION!” According to Wikipedia: the “Council on Foreign Relations is an American nonprofit and nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to improving the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs” DAMN THEM!

    6. “EXECUTIVE ORDER 6102 IN 1933 NULLIFIED OUR CONSTITUTION AND AMERICA IS CURRENTLY UNDER MARTIAL LAW” As mentioned above, this order prevented people from hording gold during the depression; subsequently repealed (whoops!). As for martial law, I’m guessing this person is either a huge fan of Sammo Hung or has never seen what martial law is.

  82. armoredbore says at 11:36 pm, October 19th, 2009

    GUYS HELP HOW DO YOU TURN THIS OFF ALL MY LETTERS ARE BIG

  83. PAbitter says at 11:40 pm, October 19th, 2009

    WhatTheHeck: the real question is, of course
    “Who was that wonderful alien?”

  84. nightshift says at 11:43 pm, October 19th, 2009

    Is it just me or is anyone else thinking Ron Paul/Balloon Boy in 2012???

  85. junkscience says at 11:49 pm, October 19th, 2009

    TYPE LOUDER

  86. Gallowglass says at 12:09 am, October 20th, 2009

    armoredbore: No, you don’t want that turned off. “Big letters” are the new iambic pentameter. They let everyone know you are an intellectual heavy weight who has thought carefully about the issues facing our country. Big letters are the easy road to acceptance of your point of view by those who were previously your sworn ideological foes. Keep those big letters, my friend. They’ll take you places.

  87. obfuscator says at 12:10 am, October 20th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: i’d also say that ‘reality’ might be the biggest obstacle to a ron paul administration.

  88. thursday says at 12:12 am, October 20th, 2009

    I think the next time there is a Ron Paul article, 100% of the comments should be in caps. Think of how much classier Wonkette would be in all caps.

  89. american mutt says at 12:31 am, October 20th, 2009

    I had a dumb argument with someone who just kept typing something like, “BUT RFIDS!!” over and over. I’m pretty sure they were saying the same thing when the telephone came out.

  90. sra: and the order forbids gay homosexual butt-luv amongz the conservatives and their passive household pets.
    Failed.
    The FDR order is one more example of Democrat Nazi Marxist Islamo-Socialism trying to steal my, scratch that, our freedoms.
    — Glennda of Beck

  91. EdgarAllanPoo says at 12:40 am, October 20th, 2009

    I like Ron Paul. I think he’s cute. And he’s not scary crazy like, for instance, (name your favorite Republican here) is.

  92. glamourdammerung says at 12:48 am, October 20th, 2009

    nightshift: Apparently Balloon Boy’s father is believes in the lizard people, which is just behind self-diagnosed Aspergers in terms of the probability of being a paultard.

  93. : “THE ONLY MAN”?
    Man? Why you omit our sly but mighty, patriotic burrowing gerbil?
    — Miss McConnell

  94. Sorry Ron Paul supporters, but you can’t have it both ways. Either the Constitution was nullified by that commie FDR and his “deal making” and we’re living in a chaotic post anarchy reminiscent of Kevin Reynolds’ ‘Waterworld’ or we’re enjoying a hyper-efficient post-Reagan civilization organized around slavery and derivatives speculation. Time to get off the fence and pick a side, we’re at war.

  95. I just thought I’d point out that there’s a delightfully earnest conservative posting over on the Michael Steele thread. He wants to explain to y’all that the commenters are here are uncouth. Oh, and that black people just don’t appreciate how much the Republican party has done for them.

    I’m off to bed, but I thought some of you west-coasters and night owls might find him diverting.

  96. couchbound: I believe that Steve Jobs got there first.

  97. ithasatilde: Welcome to the Fold. We expect you to bathe regularly.

  98. Paul Tardy says at 1:06 am, October 20th, 2009

    So who’s this Juli.Wiener and is she hot? Julian Wiener, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    1933? I thought it was 1913(Income tax + Direct election of Senators + Not to Mention POTUS Wilson)? Anyway EXECUTIVE ORDER 6102 made gold a controlled substance because people were using it recreationally, as opposed to medically. In California you could own gold if you had a note from a doctor saying not owning gold made you anxious.

  99. piniella says at 1:15 am, October 20th, 2009

    Oh God it’s impossible to tell the difference between the trolls and the real thing anymore

    The conservatives think that is progress.

  100. RubberSoul says at 1:21 am, October 20th, 2009

    ELECTING RON PAUL IN THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED FREE ELECTION IS THE ONLY WAY TO RECLAIM AMERICA FROM MARTIAL LAW!!! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!

  101. Mike Steele says at 1:25 am, October 20th, 2009

    I think that once the emailer referred to Julie’s attack on Ron Paul as “filthy”, then “no good” used as a further modifier really wasn’t entirely necessary.

  102. Extemporanus says at 1:34 am, October 20th, 2009

    thursday: YES!!! LET’S PAUL OUT ALL THE STOPS!!!

  103. El Pinche says at 1:46 am, October 20th, 2009

    TONIGHT WE ARE ALL SHEEPLES

  104. El Pinche says at 1:48 am, October 20th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Brilliant. Do you always have to win god dammit?!!

  105. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 1:50 am, October 20th, 2009

    Children with RFID chips would be awesome– you could scan them like products!

  106. El Pinche says at 1:53 am, October 20th, 2009

    Cicada: He sounds as crazy as this guy who apparently adores Rove. And he’s not kidding.

  107. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 1:53 am, October 20th, 2009

    biggiantannoyingthing: I believe it’s roughly equivalent to three beans and a dog.

  108. SayItWithWookies says at 2:02 am, October 20th, 2009

    El Pinche: Aw, thanks — I sorta feel like I’ve been in a bit of a slump, what with being busy at work and everything.

  109. I’m sure this is just Ken ballooning Juli.

  110. desertwind says at 2:41 am, October 20th, 2009

    WELL, OKAY! ALRIGHT. YOU WIN!

  111. Jukesgrrl says at 3:54 am, October 20th, 2009

    Do these people know that Ron Paul was born and raised in Greentree, PA, a dead-boring suburb of Pittsburgh? A place whose only mall has K-Mart as its anchor store?? Greentree’s the last thing you see before you enter the tunnel that leads to the city. Its major claim to fame: it’s so bad it makes Pittsburgh look gorgeous.

  112. gurukalehuru says at 4:09 am, October 20th, 2009

    The crazies seem to be divided into 2 groups - those who believe that the most important part of the constitution is that part that guarantees your right to own a gun, and those who hold that the most important bit is that part about “Congress shall pass no law, nor shall the President issue any executive order, prohibiting citizens from hoarding gold.”

  113. LowerdPeninsula says at 4:51 am, October 20th, 2009

    You all know what’s supposed to happen in 2012, right? Surely, Ron Paul is the anti-Christ, then, right? Surely.

  114. LowerdPeninsula says at 4:54 am, October 20th, 2009

    gurukalehuru: And never the twain will meet, except on every other subject, of course.

    Dear Wonkette: Stop trying to make Ron Paul happen. He’s not happening.

  116. Wait, which attack on Ron Paul does he/she (it?) object to? You have to be more specific.

    And, uhh… “RON PAUL WILL KEEP OUR KIDS OUT OF HUMAN-IMPLANT RFID CHIPS.” doWHAT? Oh I got it. “RFID” is Dorito’s latest fancy flavor, right? He’s just trying to help the obesity issue guys, trying to get the kiddies to eat apples and play outside instead of eating doritos and cheetos in front of the computer. Wait, no, that can’t be right, he’d lose his entire base then…

    S.Luggo: YEAH, BUT FOR STEVE JOBS IT’S MERELY THERAPEUTIC!!! THAT DOESN’T COUNT!!!

  118. President Beeblebrox: That’s immediately who I thought of.

    Part of me wants the rigorous debate with libertarians on Rawlsian liberalism vs. Hayekian liberalism and the possible reconciliation between the two…but then the other part of me reads that email, slaps the other part of me, and keeps laughing.

    Never change Ron Paul, never change.

  120. PabaBritannica says at 8:26 am, October 20th, 2009

    gurukalehuru: obviously, this reveals that the source of mr. t’s powers come from his immense collection of gold chains. he is The One.

  121. Don’t we sort of have manditory ID cards already in the form of drivers licences and state issued ID cards (for you non-drivers out there)? You are officially required to have one, but you need one to fly in a plane, write a check, etc.

    Worst. Diatribe. Ever.

    Rest assured I was expressing my disgust on the Internet within minutes.

  123. slappypaddy says at 8:49 am, October 20th, 2009

    the country is under martial law? sshhh, don’t tell anyone, though that would explain all the heavily-armed troops patrolling the streets, gunning down anyone foolish enough to violate the 6 pm to 6 am curfew. y’all did hear about the curfew, didn’t you?

    silly rabbit, ron-paul is for kids.

  124. slappypaddy says at 8:52 am, October 20th, 2009

    feelings: “Why can’t numbers be capitalized, again?”

    here they are, the capital numbers:

    !@#$%^&*()

    the variation on that is:

    ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, ZERO

    you’re welcome. you’ll be receiving my invoice in the mail.

  130. LEAVE RON PAUL ALONE!!!

  131. Jukesgrrl:
    My memory of Greentree Hill was nothing more than an automotive battleground through which I was focused on staying alive to reach the airport or the Monroeville exit.

  132. PsycGirl says at 9:32 am, October 20th, 2009

    doxastic: no, no, no. “RON PAUL WILL KEEP OUR KIDS OUT OF HUMAN-IMPLANT RFID CHIPS” refers to Chuck E. Cheese’s nefarious campaign to replace the swine-flu-ridden balls in the ball pit with these chip things.

  133. magic titty says at 9:43 am, October 20th, 2009

    Has anyone explained Ron Paul’s thumbless left hand in that drawing??

    WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?11???

    sra: Executive Order 6102 was abrogated in 1977.

  136. RFID chip for my kid??!?? At least I’d know what the little shit was up to!

  137. magic titty: CHOLLIE! THEY TOOK MY THUMB!

    Also: Paultards are the dark matter of the whole Tea Party 9/12 tendency.

  138. Catholics4Condoms says at 11:04 am, October 20th, 2009

    Come on Canadians and Mexicans vote for statehood. Join the US of A to make it the US of NA that will really irk these paultards because they say they stand for the constitution. They will be like, “You can’t make a Union of North America” and we’ll be like, ” Article IV Section 3 ‘New states may be admitted by congress’ so nyah!” Maybe Rep. Paul will take a stand in the house and block the admission of Quebec and Chihuahua as the 54th and 55th states; but then he would be blocking the Manifest Destiny of the United States of Earth!

  139. Dangerous says at 12:03 pm, October 20th, 2009

    What’s with they cult of personality regarding Ron Paul, “THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN SAVE THIS DECLINING COUNTRY”.

    If that’s the case, we’re in worse shape than I thought. No one man can save an entire country, no matter whether it’s really declining or not. But to then say that there is only ONE such individual capable of it — well, waiting for the Messiah anyone?

    This reminds me of the Jews who were waiting for the Messiah to deliver them to Israel. When they won the war for independence in 1948, the leaders declared that it was their army that was the real Messiah, supported by the Jewish people throughout the world. We delivered ourselves, duh.

    It’s a good thing that Ron Paul doesn’t have a Jesus complex — when I’ve seen him on TV he is quite calm, reasonable and articulate — because idiots like the “redacted” would follow him to a place like Wacko, and end up horribly dead for no good reason.

    That’s why I like Obama and support him, be he’s not the boss of me and — thank God — he realizes that he’s not infallible as well.

  140. Dear REDACTED,
    O.K.
    Sincerely, etc

  141. WHY WOULD YOU DROP THE ALT TEXT FROM SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF AMERICANA??? NOT EVEN A ‘ROCKY VII: MICKEY VS. APOLLO IN HEAVEN’???? FIXED!!!

  142. richbachelor says at 12:45 pm, October 20th, 2009

    The image produced by ‘country elites’ is kinda cartoony. Y’mean country gentlemen? The fellas with the white linen suits and the mint juleps?

    And again, that ‘WELL?’ Wouldn’t it have been priceless if the entire thrust of the letter changed at that point to ‘I’M WAITING. CAN’T YOU- OKAY. I’M GOING OVER HERE NOW TO MAKE A SANDWICH. WHEN I GET BACK, I REALLY AM GOING TO NEED AN ANSWER OF SOME SORT FROM YOU. YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE COUNTRYPOLITANS. THANKS.’

    sra: And I, with my fancy Pee Haitch Dee and all my book larnin’, didn’t know that, proving that our entire US of America education system is total FAIL.

    The alternate theory is that these gold-hoarding freaks are whack-a-doodles. And how you get from this Exec Order to martial law is…a stretch.

    Sorry, forgot–we’re talking Paultards here. My bad.

  145. PerhapsSo says at 1:21 pm, October 20th, 2009

    I think that I am going to copy and paste that and send it to all of my elected representatives. How will Arlen Specter respond?

  146. The road for Ron Paul in 2012 runs through Tancredo/Palin. I, for one, am very much looking forward to it.

  147. Why do you pick the craziest supporters of Ron Paul you can find to air out in public? Every politician has its share of nutjob supporters. Ron Paul is undeniably the most honest and intelligent congressman in Washington, D.C. - his supporters are not all crazy, and the lowest common denominator is what is being used to try to oppose his ideology. i.e. calling Paul supporters Paultards, posting messages from Paul supporters who just so happen to be insane and the like (which is really juvinile btw).

    Ron Paul is dead on in 95% of the issues and I wish him Godspeed in his efforts. While he may not even run in 2012, I certainly pray that someone with his integrity and patriotism can step up to the plate and take the country back from lobbyists (which Obama said he’d do and hasn’t), AIPAC, the military industrial complex (Obama’s nobel peace prize was for what? - raising the troop level in Afghanistan?), and ultra-liberal tax n spend cap n trade socialists.

    ryanjr: it’s so sweet to see someone so idealistic and naive in this day and age. do come visit again sometime soon, we are but a vipers’ nest and yearn for fresh blood.

    say, here’s a quick question, but you can think on it long as you like — what’s money?

    Because that pretty much is any/all of them.

    This post is missing the part where this person is dismissed as a drooling dumb assclown and instructed on the size and amount of human penises to consume.

    Sarcasm aside, where are your priorities?

  154. clientnumber8 says at 10:59 pm, October 20th, 2009

    Like, lol, but c’mon, stick with Greatest Hits from Ron Paul Forums. Plenty of material to work with there. This? Obviously written by a smartass from this here peanut gallery. “I FIND IT SICKENING THAT’D YOU’D DERIDE OUR NATION’S ONLY VIABLE HOPE!” ? That’s funny, but it was overkill.
