Anyone interested in helping start a more "Kook" version of The Daily Paul?

They're just trying to undermine any exposure by posing it as fiction. Y'see, we gotta reduce atmospheric CO2 so the lizard people can breath comfortably ;-)

is quite subjective, don't you think?

To me, the use of the term, and the various concepts targeted with the application of that word, is more instructive about the ones using the term, than the ones they try to describe with that word.

See, ALL of the positions that RP or anyone else on this site espouse, are already considered "kooky" by a very large segment of society.
To them, abolishing the Federal Reserve, is just as "kooky" as the wildest 9/11 theory, or the craziest sounding Chemtrail notions, or whatever the "kook-caller" wants to call "kooky". Mention any one of them, and mainstreamers call you "kooky".

So, the "kook-caller" is really just reflecting his own internal bias or denial syndrome, and using a rationalization that "other people think that's kooky", so it emotionally helps to reinforce his ignorant position. It's basically a "denial reinforcement tactic".
Lean on the ignorance of the general public, to bolster your own pet ignorant denial position.

We see it here every day.
Somebody picks one topic and calls it "kooky".
Somebody else picks another topic, and calls that "kooky".
Then few chime in and tell everybody that "kookiness" destroys the movement.
"If we would just tacitly accept the neocon or liberal positions openly, we'd be so much more widely accepted" is the basic implication of their position.

It's all nothing more than an illustration of the complainer's level of denial, which can allow him to remain in emotional comfort when he doesn't have to face certain realities. So, he lashes out at others who are less ignorant, because those topics make him uncomfortable to have to look at. And picks out those topics to call "kooky", from all the rest of the positions that he might support, which are also called "kooky" by the mainstream, but he singles out the ones he doesn't like as if they are the only ones called "kooky", because it helps him with his denial.

This site is funny, because alot of people are using the term "sheeple", and saying "people need to wake up", when a fair number of sheeple that need to wake up are posting right here on this site. But, they don't know it, and they "think" they are awake because they've understood one piece of the puzzle. However, one piece isn't the whole puzzle.
But, they want it to be, because the whole puzzle is too scary, and too daunting to spend enough time to learn about it. So, the knee-jerk reaction to it, is to call it "kooky".
They don't have time to bother learning about all that other stuff. They just want to carry a "RON PAUL" sign at some convention around election time for social fun and interaction. They want to watch TV and fit in with the herd. So, they will go far enough to accept the most superficial views, which have been stated publicly on TV by Ron Paul, and nothing else, because they can wipe it off on RP, and say that's his position, and he's on TV, and some people like him, and I do.
That's a far cry from being informed and relevant in this movement.
That's about as deep as a roadside puddle after a 2-minute summer rain.

Now certainly, any movement needs all kinds, and as much support as it can get.
But, for the informed and intelligent members of the group to be "herded around and muzzled" by the least informed people in the bunch, is aiming at the lowest common denominator. Just like they do in public schools. Teach to the level of the dumbest.
That doesn't work. It stifles everybody else that might actually have more than 2 brain cells with synaptic function

So, to the "kook-callers", recognize your denial, and learn.
Learn to read between the lines. Al Capone isn't going to admit on TV or in court, that he murdered people. You have to figure it out on your own.
Sometimes life takes work, insight, and inductive/deductive reasoning.

All the people here are crazy! I'm going back to my couch to suck down some beers, plan my next vaccination (they tell me its good for me) and watch some TV, where the REAL TRUTH is!!!!!

Ohmygosh all of the comments here funnier than ... ooooh a much needed diversion ... one huge belly laugh with tears rolling down my face. Just love (most) of you all.

Nui you so crazy ... it's great ;-) give us some fun oh man, we need it!

I knew it was getting to this .

After reading, and watching the

Secret Government Projects Provocateurs, Shills, and Disinfo Agents You Tube thread.

I am inclined to believe that those that promote kookiness, are only here to make us ALL look kooky in the eyes of the public. Reducing the effectiveness of the Ron Paul moniker,, wherever it's used.

and the ones that belittled the idea to go mainstream, are Paid disinfo shills, working for the FBI to keep us acting and appearing kooky, right here at the Daily Paul. Herded, like sheep into the kooky corral!

Or maybe
the Mainstream thread was put there to gauge the reactions of various members to the idea. A virtual Kookometer, if you will. to see who is still not convinced that Kookiness is the way to go. They can then be targeted, as non-game players, and made to feel as if THEY are the kooks.

Or it could be the other way around!!!
LOL

I don't usually type this because I think it's dumb, but LOL!!

This is Front Page material.

The comments have me rolling - especailly the Yankee Doodle one.

Hey yall, let's stop this kook/mainstream gang war. Can't we all just get along? :)))))

Yankee Doodle was a kook. Wasn't he?

The Daily Kook - Wearing tin foil underwear is mandatory!

If you want to see what the wackos are saying, visit some of the sites predicting the end of the world by "Global Warming" or Global Climate Change". This is the real lunatic fringe.

You can build your site out of water, like that stuff you think you can run your car on. Just think how many Green and fringe people you will attract.

I've been looking for a good Daily Kook site but have not yet found one. Maybe we should start one.

seeing as how there is a full moon, and with me being a lunatic and all, I would have to say yes, of course! :)

DP for the kooks.

Catch them with the right kind of bait, and send them here.

I like the kookiness here. To each his own. I like being exposed to different subjects. I learn, agree or not, and am not threatened by other's views & opinions. KOOKS ROCK! ; )

of the Daily Paul. You know, the version where we all say what we think as well worded as we can. The one where we try to expand our education and outlook and look forward to the hard questions and the decision making process, the challenge to take a position and defend it. The place where you are free to change your mind, just because tomorrow IS another day (Emerson) and between now and tomorrow you might just change your mind. The Daily Paul where free thought means that you really "pay" for your thinking with responding to rational responses and debates. The one where really thinking for yourself means sampling a number of opinions and fermenting them yourself. Well, if this ain't that Daily Paul then sure I'd like to help make one, but I was really sure this was that one...of course I could be wrong, but in this case, I think I'm right.
