The 10 Who Blew The Recession (Says Ron Paul Mistakenly Embraced the Crazies)
Submitted by bobbyw24 on Wed, 09/09/2009 - 06:36
As an early critic of the Fed and the dangers of loose money, Ron Paul could have emerged as a mainstream thought leader in the debate over how to reform the financial system. Unfortunately, Paul was never able to shake off the crazies -- indeed he embraced them -- and is instead synonymous with gold bugs, conspiracy enthusiasts and protesters who bring guns to Presidential rallies.

The Soviet Union labeled and institutionalized the crazies.
Calling people crazy is a way to avoid the issues and attack those who hold a view the government doesn't like.
Ron Paul lets thoughts stand or fall on their own instead of attacking the mental stability of those who oppose him, as we all should.

Yeah
All those crazy people who think pearl harbor wasn't quite a surprise attack or think fluoride is bad for you. Totally crazy!

The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.
These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.
- New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922

There are crazies alright, of the Left,
and they're writing the history of the economic crisis to suit themselves.
A few days ago the Huffington Post did a piece that said eight members of Congress saw it coming, no Ron Paul though. Eight Senators, seven Democrats, were credited.
On "Morning Joe" Scarborough mentioned that Ron Paul had predicted the economic crisis to a guest economist. The economist dismissed Paul by saying people are making predictions constantly, there being no way to know which ones are correct. In other words, Ron Paul got lucky.
If lies are told long enough they become history.
The "crazies" are the Constitutionalists. Ron Paul has carried
the same message since the mid 70`s , Liberty and freedom from an oppressive bloated government.
"We have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt"
Joseph Biden VP , USA
"Since 1789 the only government on Earth that has the power to crush the American people`s liberties across the board is the government of the United States"
Robert Higgs
Dr. Paul has been saying the same things about our
financial system and a pending economic collapse for over 30 years. Just when did he embrace the crazies?
This looks like a
"top ten 'build traffic to your web site'" list to me.....
yep yep
since I clicked had to leave an insult and just move on
We can take it as a compliment, anyone that wants to build their traffic can just publish something with his name and can count on a massive click parade.
It's dangerous to be right,
when the gov't is wrong.
But somebody has to do it.
IMO, Ron Paul is right.

The thing that I admire most about Ron Paul is the fact that he takes Freedom seriously and doesn't interfere with the way or what someone else thinks.
Isn't Freedom what we are about?
Naton
Freedom is crazy
dontcha know?
Disagree for the most part with the above article.........

SOS this guy must need hits on his site
Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
Well, I guess he called that one.
A Republic, If You Can Keep It
Did he embrace them ?
Or was he just tagged in the press ?
I guess it is just the MSMs Job to be outraged at anything that is a little off from the status quo.
Ironman: Neither!
The crazies showed up at the rallies.
In 2006 I tried to get folks to focus on Building #7 (WTC). I failed -- Now because of the Hip-Hop or Matrix Soundtrack riffed "science" videos posted everywhere -- they became "kooks" -- "bastards of the party" -- for all MSM to mock and ridicule. It has nothing to do with right/wrong -- It's the packaging and fanaticism.
The Tax people! There's nothing you can do with them - it's not that they are wrong, I agree with their basic premise, "don't tax me bro," but they can't see how fanatical they look. For whatever reason they always get the Sixer of Bud guy to talk as the crowd representative; he has a few facts down and a few slurred -- people scream just the same.
You know how we might poke fun or think the liberals are kind of crazy at their rallies -- Well that's how the MSM (and thus all Liberals) look at us.
The Birthers -- These folks don't have a Build #7 to stand on. Obama is not the issue -- The man is a complete figure head. I thought Bush desolved all notions that any president (after Washington, Adams, and Jefferson) was anything more than a figure head -- well let's give Silent Cal his do. Who cares if he's legal or not -- it doesn't matter he's not pulling the strings. It sounds "racist" to stand on this one issue -- I know none of you are (you have black friends - like chicken - love watermelon) but it sounds like you are singling out this one President for "some" reason and the fanaticism skews it.
He just a good looking black (creole) man with what appears to be a really well-put together family (kids genuinely look happy - they are good parents). It's possible to be "good parents" and be "liberal" (I've seen it first hand).
The Chemtrailers -- What can I say here. They are probably dumping stuff on our head (I concede). This should be the easiest thing to prove scientifically - it should be irrefutable; but these folks do not know how to not sound crazy. I'm thinking of the movie Bug with Ashley Judd. Poor marketing strategy.
The Gold Bugs -- These folks are the most errant predictors of gold / dollar activity ever -- less Schiff who predicted years ago that gold would soar. Every week the buggers get our their sextants and ferrometers and abacuses (or is it abaci?) then in-accurately predict what will happen to gold and how everyone needs to sell their 1937 Coca-Cola stock and buy GOLD NOW. I love gold -- I own gold -- You never other than just now hear me talk about it. You guys sound crazy and your predictions suck.
The 912 Tea-baggers or Glenn Beckians: You guys are the hijackers and co-conspirators to recent date. Glenn fakes tears and lambasted Ron Paul and you still support him. Like a battered woman you need counciling -- "he wont change - find the courage to leave him"
Alex Jones Messianic Freaks: You guys are the cheerleaders for all of the above (save Jones does not like or trust Beck -- after we made it FIRST clear that we didn't like Beck, then Jones copied the sane consensus on Daily Paul). Regardless - You guys are the conspiracy pole dancers -- you keep it hot - on fiyah!!!!!
Money Bombers: You guys have taken a great concept and have so OVERPLAYED the phrase it has no meaning no more. You guys are the types that love the 80's -- you have Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink slumber parties, hahahahaha. You guys are Mexican T.V cool -- You still dance the Macarena.
Did I miss anyone - We don't have too bad of an Alien-UFO group here, hmmmm? No I think that's about it.
Oh!
The Town Hallers: Why do Ron Paul people go to these? It doesn't matter - if I was Beck I'd tell people to bring Ron Paul signs.
We have put the "hi" in "jacked" by not focusing on Counter-Economics, which is the only plausible solution to abdication of authority.

Yes that's true
The question in my mind is the real number of actual crazies. I'm sure it is exaggerated in the press, because the crazies stand out, but I don't know how much exaggerated it is, because there are certainly a bunch of crazies.
The thing about Ron Paul is that he is willing to let people have ideas that are out of the mainstream, and is not morally outraged if someone says "nazi" or "inside Job" - free speech means putting up with this crazy stuff.
Did it hurt the movement - certainly in the media it did, and we have to accept the fact that in politics PR is very important.
If we want to be anarchists, and just reject the system - then it isn't important, truth is truth, and lies don't change anything.
Ironman: Well said
I have no idea "how many" crazies there are -- hahahahaha.
The good thing is you can see 'em a mile off -- the bad thing? So, can everyone else.
Ron Paul is an individualist who's too old and too unique to deal with or ever needed to learn to deal with crazy folk.

Poor old Dr. Paul
And then there is me, deeply PO'd because he snubs the people who embraced truth, which I believe the article labels "crazies."
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
Characterization is their tool of last resort
When the blind puppet shills have nothing controlling to say and nothing but failure staring them in the face, then they resort to characterization. Ever notice how Muslim leaders in countries the US doesn't control are always "radical clerics" or "warlords"? It's a powerful tool to influence the weak minded.
Yep.
characterization. Incremental tyranny. Push em back.
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”

Bull Shit....We don't need more "main stream" politicians....
