As Allahpundit might say, Dude.
Update (AP): Here’s five minutes from our old pal Ian Schwartz of Beck just baiting him really, asking two questions to which he already knows the answers. Does America’s Greatest Patriot support the threats on Beck’s life issued by a few of his supporters? Bombshell answer: No. Does America’s Greatest Patriot believe the Bush administration conspired to bring about the 9/11 attacks? Paul’s gone on record about this many times, something Beck’s doubtless aware of. No matter; the point of this cross-examination is simply to bring out the fact of Paul’s support among Truthers for those in the audience who aren’t unaware of it while forcing Paul to make those same Truthers wince by formally declaring the conspiracy nutty. As he notes, though, that’s no great shakes: If you can believe the Twin Towers were packed with thermite, you can certainly believe that your hero’s just telling this neocon talk show host what he wants to hear.
Note how Paul slips in a little excuse-making at the end. Just keep the money coming, boys. Click the image to watch.

as long as he is pandering to them, its all I need to know. It speaks volume of Paul himself, regardless of what he says to the mainstream. He is an idiot for pandering to them and unfit for command.
I’ve read that reason link before because it says Dondero was fired. Dondero himself gives this tale:
anyone as morally deluded as Paul on national security and the nature of the Jihadist, will get my scorn. We did not ’cause’ 9/11 in anyway. Sura 9:5 and 9:29 did not to mention the 1300 years of history and Islamic teachings that back that up. There is nothing more important than this issue

That’s a great quote!

My feeling after watching the Beck show last night was that Ron Paul did not want to make enemies with his truther pals. He wants the truther vote.

That’s about the only votes he has, who else is putting up those stupid paper “google Ron Paul” signs around towns?

I’ll be glad when the primaries finally come and he’s out of the picture.
I liked having him in Congress, but his foreign policy ideas are really quite dangerous.

Did you see the insane guy with the puppet on Harris and Tryon? I thought it WAS Ron Paul for a second.

Yeah, they crawled out from under their rocks Saturday, but they’ve slithered away again.

actually I did yesterday, couldn’t get close enough to see if he was a paultard or not?
the paultards I saw were at corner of Harris and Mallard Creek, trespassing on Private Party like good libertarians. They had “Google Ron Paul” and some other signs with an American Flag they were waiving.
Its a cult.
