    So you don't know what an opinion piece is then, huh?

    This is what we call an opinion. Of a socialist. Do you see any evidence in this article of anything?

    furthermore, the article uses that quote, part of an interview and other statements to form the opinion. Thus, this is an opinion piece.

    Now, can you please back up your previous statements with actual evidence? You hate the jews so much and want to murder them, surely its based on -something-

    so, you just blindly believe what this socialist says. Do you have any actual evidence?

    Where are the 4 million homeless palestinians?

    If jews kill thousands a day, surely you can find a news story about it, can't you?

    If jews want the palestinians exterminated, surely you can find a quote from a jewish leader saying as much, can't you?

    Anything? Or do you carve swaztikas onto synogogues based on nothing at all?

    Congrats again, AGS. Can't say a word about the poster or anything. Such a brave computer jockey you are too. I'm not in a huff, I could care less, just pointing out what a pussy move that is. Leaving red reps for people, but can't say anything about a guy who wished death on jews/americans and said he wanted to harm me too. Stay silent AGS. It's what you are best at.

    I don't care what he says, he's just a kid (a teenager probably) who is filled with hate cuz mommy doesn't love him.

    But Congratulations again, AGS. ;) I hope he doesn't get banned, personally (I haven't reported him, I bet others have though). Then you'll get lots more opportunities to tacitly approve of what he says.

    It's actually stunning, AGS. It really is, even for you. That you can't single him out and say "hey, that's not right" or anything. Oh well. It says a lot.

    Contrary to whatever you might think the guy is entitled to his own opinions, I'm not commenting either way on it because it has nothing to do with me. Nice to see that you and GTech try and drag me into making a comment on it which is a classic "crazy gang" manoeuvre. ;)

    You should get that icon put onto a personalized T-Shirt. I'd even pay for that. it's like your logo or something.

    Yeah, but this "truther", "battered wife" etc stuff is so below you. While I enjoy your golden oldies, there is significant anticipation for the next key phrase you will add to the arsenal of close mindedness and fascism. Don't let your minions start dictating creative direction or you might find yourself yesterday's zealot.

    I can't speak for most people. I like Paul because he's another voice with a dissenting view. He's giving us something to talk about. He's a good foil to Rudy Guiliani.

    I know you have America all figured out, and who gets to be American and who does not, so I wouldn't presume to explain to you how democracy works because that system doesn't seem to fit into your world view.

    But nonetheless, some of us fake, traitorous, poor-excuses-for-Americans like to hear more than one side of a story and ponder the possibilities before we cast our vote in an election that effects billions of people worldwide but most importantly, our safety and quality of life at home.

    Please do start a new thread, we can call it "GSpot's Concentration Camp" and in there you can sort out who gets to be a notorious American, and who is unpatriotic and undeserving. Imagine the lineups from here to the Adsense Forum.

    Have a good night old man. Sleep with one eye open.

    All I can say is: if you're relying on Mainstream Media to gauge his popularity, you're being lied to. If they keep saying he's a nobody and that he's got no shot at winning the nomination, his less-stout supporters will probably crack thinking they might be wasting their vote.

    He's more popular than you think and as long as the people that want to vote for him believe that the other people out there that also want Ron to restore their hope in the future of America will also vote for Ron, he's got a chance.

    I'm a 22 year old registered Democrat, an Ohio native, living in New Zealand and I'm voting for Ron Paul. Will you join me? :eek:

    Ron Paul will be the write in candidate for Democrats.

    And they thought Nader was a spoiler. This should be an entertaining election.

    Then why have a go at people who like Bush surely they are entitled to their own opinion? or do you only take issue with things you disagree with?

    All I know is that Ron Paul is the one guy who sounds like he knows what he's talking about, and when the other candidates resort to things like namecalling and saying "my friends" over and over and over again, my respect for Ron Paul grows each time. The only reason you're saying he isn't strong enough to defend America is because you've bought into the whole "9/11 terrorists are going to rape and pillage our families unless you unconditionally support wars all over the world that we want to start" campaign - and when you don't support those wars, people starting calling you a "truther" or a "conspiracy theorist" or a "terrorist sympathizer" or "unamerican." The Constitution is far too important to throw on the backburner during a time like this. The Constitution is why we are the oldest standing democracy (without major overhauls) in the entire world. The USA PATRIOT Act - Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism - does much more than that. It undermines our personal liberties, it undermines the government's system of checks and balances, and it mislead all of us when we were vulnerable.

    That's just me, I'm sure some of you will disagree. I'm not saying I'm 100% right, but my argument sure seems sound to me.

    He is being called a 'thruther' or CT because of those he has aligned with and his seaming disbelief of the facts on 9/11 and the appearance that he may think that it is an 'inside job' like the 'thruthers' think.

    It's pure speculation that he thinks it was an inside job - he has openly stated that he believes our ridiculous foreign policy caused it. Just because there's a stupid youtube video that calls him a conspiracy theorist doesn't mean he is.

    simple answer: no money no honey no fun.


    other candidates have the backing of weapon factories oil companies etc..

    ron paul is a peaceful guy if he became president which means no war no 400billion war spending etc.. so those companies dont like him.

    That is the reason Paul has got no chance mate, he is for peace.

    He's the best hope America has, unfortunately Hillary has already been penned in and will get the the call. Dumb yanks will figure out how corrupt the whole thing is sooner or later lol but only after when they find what Paris SLUT Hilton or what any number of fucking idiots are doing first lol. :rolleyes:
