“In a free society we’re supposed to know the truth,” Paul said. “In a society where truth becomes treason, then we’re in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.”
“This whole notion that Assange, who’s an Australian, that we want to prosecute him for treason. I mean, aren’t they jumping to a wild conclusion?” he added. “This is media, isn’t it? I mean, why don’t we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this?”
Don’t give Krauthammer ideas, Doctor. [Politico]

Ron Paul is just stone cold Assamging around in his blimp.
So this is Paul's second stopped clock moment for 2010.
Which, you know, strangely makes perfect sense (stopped clock, twice a day, etc.)…
What, we can't prosecute foreign nationals for treason? What has this country come to?
Depends on the country.
Well, we can still lock them up in CIA prisons, can't we? I mean, we still get to have a little fun, right?
That IS probably what will happen to him, while we are distracted by the question, is Sarah Pee's latest kid really Willow's bastard?
Prosecute? No. Kidnap, rendition, torture and hold indefinitely without trial? Fuck Yeah!
If they go after Assange, what's to protect ol' Murdoch? Aside from his billions of p-points, that is?
I guess Ron Paul can forget about a seat on the Investigating Foreign Citizens for Anti-American Activities Committee.
I thought he was that committee.
Ron is not at all up on the news: we want to prosecute Assange for failing to use a condom, not for bringing down the American Empire. He is also suspected of having jaywalked.
And drinking a Four Loko and guessing Sarah Palin's passwords.
He's got several books overdue at the Brisbane Public Library, as well.
On top of which, word is that he'll be charged with removing the tag that says "Do not remove under penalty of law" from his mattress.
Enough, I've heard enough. It's Gitmo for him. After all, he's already been convicted in the "Court Of Wonkette" for inciting threesome envy.
I saw Julian dancing with Sarah Goode before a caldron in the pale moonlight.
I also saw him do a rolling stop at a stop sign.
Ron Paul, "shocker" apologist.
Can't wait for the tweet from the twitter of that twat Sarah Palin, about this.
Ron Paul just assassinated proper grammar.
This is all a ploy by Swedish condom manufacturers and marketers to get some free publicity in the crowded marketplace.
Were they using cheap condoms smuggled from Russia?
Would could go wrong!
To your post's credit, two Swedish girls do constitute "a crowded marketplace".
The problem with Swedish condoms is that they actually just give you the parts, and you have to assemble them yourself at home.
Which is a problem because, limited time window, etc.
Those exploded diagrams are a bitch.
"And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it."
But before, those people who were revealing the truth about Rand Paul and Aqua Buddha, well they weren't playing fair and that was different.
Wonder how Congressman Doctor Paul would feel about having his AmEx bill published on line. Or the contents of his browser cache. Or the bus schedule of his grandchildren.
What an ass. Governments have to have secrets.
WikiLeaks has Ron Paul's AmEx bill? Oh, this should be good… I hope it doesn't get lost in all the cablegate stuff.
Yeah, you need to have secrets, but secrets should be expensive in a democracy. If it costs a million dollars to keep the precise design of a nuclear weapon a secret, we should pay the cost. If it costs a million dollars to keep the fact that "Gadaffi likes the ladies" a secret…. Well, is it REALLY worth a million dollars? Really?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_...Most Americans make roughly 25k. a year. They might pay almost 5k a year in federal taxes. This means in order to secure the secret that "Gadaffi likes the ladies", we have to take the entire tax revenue of 200 average americans to dedicate to this cause. Secret Kept.
The main secret gummint needs to keep is that it isn’t awfully good at government. They’ll pay anything to keep that secret.
Shorter Ron &/or Rand Paul: "Leaks are accidents, no? Those things happen".
Funny, Krauthammer says the same thing.
Is that foreshadowing of a Krauthammer post (complete with the beer can chicken body)? We need a little Krauthammer, just a little Krauthammer–just this very minute.
Do Kraptauer and Paul ever meet on the same TV show? Debate? Come to blows?
I'm sure another batch of his crippling wit will come rolling in any minute now.
A Krauthammer-less Wonkette is something I just won't stand for.
Speaking Teabagging to Power !!1
In a world where Ron Paul makes more sense than most politicians………………………..
Exactly what I was thinking….
Maybe Ron Paul should offer Assange asylum in his office? Or in Texas?
Ron and Julian sitting in a tree: K-I-S-S-I-N-G…. Without a rubber.
Does anyone know if they teach that you can impregnate a girl by kissing her at Catholic school?
From what I hear, you can get your ass lashed within an inch of your life by even mentioning kissing at a Catholic School; unless it's kissing one of the Holy Fathers, of course.
ron paul aint so bad- he is not against legalizing weed. real libertarians are also
Thanks…
This would set the precedent for a Sean Hannity public flogging, just sayin?
