HMM, GO ON?: “I can’t but help think that Ron Paul is a tool of the Messiah. The Bible does not mention America in the end times or does it?” [Daily Paul]

With nothing better to do these days, Ron Paul and his crazed followers bum-rushed the Nevada Republican Convention in Reno on Saturday — and they upended the whole process, which was supposed to be an “Oh well let’s give our Romney support to McCain since he is apparently the nominee.” They voted to change the party’s rules and seize the state’s delegates for Dr. Congressman Ron Paul! Hilarious! Then, convention chairman Bob Beers shut down the whole event, claiming the Peppermill Casino was going to kick them out for continuing beyond 5 p.m., which was a total lie, so the Paultards tried to kill him, and he barely escaped with his life!

Ron Paul got on CNN last night and totally killed… his chances. In the seven minute interview, which we excerpted above, he counters reports of his racist pamphlets by saying he didn’t write them and he doesn’t know who did and that he should have read them first. Bor-ring. But then he goes on and on about how libertarians don’t see color, he has heroes that are brown people, libertarians don’t think about people collectively, oh, and the reason this is all coming out now is because “the blacks” like him so much. Because there’s nothing racist or collectivizing about referring to the African-American community as “the blacks.” Carry on with The Crazy, Ron Paul. We’ll miss you when people stop giving you airtime.

Tim Russert had Ron Paul on Meet the Press this weekend to help confirm for the public (including my dad, who voted for Ross Perot in 1992) that Ron Paul is a complete fucking idiot. Bring on the spam, people, I said it. He, um, also suggested that the government should’ve bought more slaves and shit (and we’ve got video after the jump)
