Eddie Adams from Torrance: Anyone who thought Obama was a progressive wasn't paying attention. He's about as moderate and vanilla as they come.



More like Neapolitan, actually.

Vanilla, chocolate, and pinko to the core.

"So, now that he has this new base of support of course, he's having-frantically trying to disavow himself from the newsletters, and I agree the newsletters were a little over the top."

When a Klansman/Nazi says that your racist writings are a little over the top..... uh..... I'm.... speechless.

This is bad news... for Paul bashers.

Pretty much this. Guy's so Republican the Dems aren't really for him. But since he's a Dem the Republicans aren't for him either.

Former KKK Grand Wizard and Louisiana Congressman David Duke also phoned in to explain why he's voting for Mr. Paul.


Not racist, but #1 with racists...RON PAUL!

Come on guys, let's not get his possible racism get in the way of his horrible policy ideas.

Ron Paul - Not Racist, But #1 With Racists.

Doesn't matter. Paul will never get the nomination. I wish he would, but he won't.

If he did he would lose, and badly, when the real independents hear Paul say we should have risked losing Osama and his treasure trove of information, not to mention the lives of American SEALs, by first asking Pakistan's permission before we raided.

He will never be president, no matter how much you try to white-wash his racist past.

I interpreted headline like Progressives WITH Obama, progressives were shocked to see Obama not as one of their own, just like RON PAUL and racists.

/DNRTFA

I think you mean RON PAUL!!!!

I love how subby still can't post a headline without having to express his massive butthurt over Obama.

Ron Paul's reaction to an independent ad featuring a black man talking about how Dr. Paul treated his white wife when no one else would--and then took care of the hospital bill.

Whatever you may think about Ron Paul, it's a pretty neat piece of an interview. I especially liked how he took it in stride as if that behavior were a matter of course for him.

The link is to a radio interview of Paul reacting to the ad, not the ad itself.

This link (new window)

/Oh, stormfront, EABoD.

It's rather telling that this Stormfront guy takes Ron Paul at his word.

It's one thing to be so stupid you're a bigot, it's another thing to be so stupid you actually believe a politician when they deny these sorts of allegations.

RyogaM: Doesn't matter. Paul will never get the nomination. I wish he would, but he won't.

What "treasure trove of information"?

You mean Osama had info that might have been useful - and we executed him and dumped his body in the ocean?

OBAMA!!!!!

The treasure-trove of information we FOUND you utter moron. You know, all of those hard-drives? The ones that would give us more accurate information that Osama Farking Bin-Laden ever would?

Do you slanderers people with opinions really think Ron Paul is more prejudiced than any of those other crackers up there? Seriously? It ain't even a contest.

I think they've been overlooking this quote from public remarks made in 1993.

"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

Right, you have no idea we recovered computers chockful of intel. Keep playing stupid.

And you think all the independent voters are as ill-informed as you. And you think those same voters will just say, "Golly, it's too bad Osama got himself killed, we should vote for Paul, who would have risked allowing Osama to escape, and risked getting our SEALs killed, instead."

Why not try to defend Paul's position that we should have asked Pakistan for permission, huh, troll?

Bob_Laublaw: When a Klansman/Nazi says that your racist writings are a little over the top..... uh..... I'm.... speechless.

They had to call two nazis they know to get the good quote, but by jove they got one.

Remember that time bow-tie boy hired two whores to come endorse **RON PAUL**? Classic.

A small fiddle playing for all the Limbaugh Liberals (Limbaugh and liberals attack Paul in the same way...hence "Limbaugh Liberals") who called Ron Paul a racist

Kinda hard to put the racist tag on Paul, since he has done so much charity and pro-bono medical care for BLACKS and MINORITIES.

It is hilarious watching the far-left and the Neo-Cons/Nearly-Coms go have a group hug with the KKK and Free Republic because they were so wrong about Ron Paul...boohoooo. Maybe Glenn Beck can cry for you too....Limbaugh Liberals

Unfortunately, too many of the Paul bashers lack that 3d digit in the IQ. Kinda funny that the really derp of the Democrats and the KKK now have something to agree with

Hydra: we MUST continue the war on drugs and keep the Federal Reserve, Medicare, and Social Security all going along in their present states with no reform to any of them whatsoever (unless the reform is raising taxes on the wealthy some more, of course)

Tell you what: You provide a cite showing Paul's exact words, and I'll consider commenting on it.

Mmmkay?

AirForceVet: Eddie Adams from Torrance: Anyone who thought Obama was a progressive wasn't paying attention. He's about as moderate and vanilla as they come.

President Obama is progressive in his tax plans; moderate in other areas. For example, he was for equality for GLBTs, particularly in the military and the workplace. But, he wasn't for gay marriage, only civil unions.

As for vanilla, you are way off base as he's got a good handle on things and takes effective action, especially with dealing with the Executive Branch, which drives the GOP crazier. :-)

I'd say he has been an above average President with the health care reform, withdrawl of troops from Iraq, and other actions, like getting elected in the first place. I love how he's pressing the Republicans slowly into a corner over taxes and their obvious suck-up to the rich at the expense of the poor and middle-class.

We'll find out whether he's actually a progressive on taxes when the inevitable extension of the Bush tax cuts comes up for his veto at the end of next year (I believe that's when).

As for other stuff...he let the GOP and special interests walk all over him on HCR, many of the troops from Iraq are just being shuffled to other deployments, and the full withdrawal only happened because Iraq refused Obama's requests for US troops/bases staying in Iraq, he's continued the use (and expansion) of police powers just like previous presidents, he sucks on drugs, like every other president, he's failed repeatedly on transparency, he certainly hasn't fixed special interests in Washington, he continues to refuse to actually support gay marriage (though being against DADT and DOMA is a start), etc.

Obama is the best of two bad options, but let's not pretend he's a good progressive choice. Maybe next term, when he no longer has to worry about getting reelected, but I'm not holding my breath for then either.

Soldier, "Sir, we didn't get, Osama, you remember? Because when you asked for permission to get him from Pakistan, the Pakistanis tipped off Osama, and he ran off, along with his computers, and he left a bomb which killed all our SEALs that entered the compound. Remember?"

Ron Paul, "Obama sucks."

Dumbass.

Also, Ron Paul's against waterboarding, so, you're even more of a moron if you think independents would chose Paul over Obama.

Your point?

AirForceVet: WizardofToast: Pretty much this. Guy's so Republican the Dems aren't really for him. But since he's a Dem the Republicans aren't for him either.

I'm sorry, but what makes you think President Obama is a Republican?

I don't see him against abortion, gay rights, fair taxation that includes the rich, separation of church and state, workers' rights, health care reform, environmental policies to protect people from industrial pollution, and so on.

I do see him not sucking up to the rich, financial institutions, religious zealots, white racists, and so on as the Republicans do.

Sounds like you've got wishfull, delusional thinking there, dude. But that's OK. You can keep living in your fantasy world of GOP soundbites and trumped up illogical assessments.

/Have a nice day.

You don't pay much attention to what President Obama actually does, do you? Explain his being only for civil unions, his expanding the Bush tax cuts, his turnaround on prosecuting the telecoms for illegal wiretapping, his seeming willingness to sign SOPA, his giveaways to the banking industry (though I have heard a very few interesting defenses for that one).

Of course, President Obama didn't pay much attention to what the Constitution says in his ConLaw classes at Harvard, so maybe that's America's problem - not paying attention enough.

So you're saying that we should attack Pakistan?

Would that be before, after or during our attack in Iran?
