This collection of answers, in the below video, from Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is as good an example as any of why the ten term senator is storming through the avalanche of spin and tosh falling from the mouths of the likes of Rudy Guiliani and causing such a ruckus.
The mainstream media remained faithful, for months, to the line that Ron Paul was merely an internet phenomenon and that his support base was nothing but a few hundred online activists doing a hell of a good job with spamming comment boards and ‘rigging’ online polls.
But Ron Paul pulled some 5000 people to a recent rally (even Hillary Clinton has trouble pulling crowds that big), and raised more than $4 million for his campaign in 24 hours. His fundraising efforts are on fire, while other, higher profile Democrat and Republican candidates are failing to raise enough for any serious advertising campaigns to get their message out.
Now it’s clear that there is a growing proportion of the American people listening to, and agreeing with, what Ron Paul has to say, the serious business of discrediting him and destroying his credibility will now begin, in earnest.
In the meantime, here’s the video of Ron Paul’s answers during the recent CNN Republican debate. Take special note of the vile way John McCain tries to link Ron Paul to the rise of the Nazis during the 1930s. Incredible :
Kurt Nimmo explains why McCain does not know his own country’s history :
McCain, citing the long ago discredited official history, declared Ron Paul to be an isolationist and World War II the fault of American isolationism, a claim so out of touch with reality as to be speculative fiction.
“Mussolini enjoyed a great deal of admiration in corporate America from the moment he came to power in a coup that was hailed stateside as ‘a fine young revolution,’” writes the historian Jacques R. Pauwels. “In the 1920s many big American corporations enjoyed sizeable investments in Germany…. By the early 1930s, an élite of about twenty of the largest American corporations had a German connection including Du Pont, Union Carbide, Westinghouse, General Electric, Gilette, Goodrich, Singer, Eastman Kodak, Coca-Cola, IBM, and ITT.”
Isolationist? Hardly. Corporate America was in business with Germany and Italy during the 1930s. Big business.
