Thompson: "Wrong Answer"

Fred Thompson has some thoughts on Hillary: I've mentioned it before, but Fred does very well in this kind of informal chat video, which is not really an ad. But what if this is what Fred's ads will look like?...



Redstate Bans Paulites

Redstate.com is fed up:

Effective immediately, new users may *not* shill for Ron Paul in any way shape, form or fashion. Not in comments, not in diaries, nada. If your account is less than 6 months old, you can talk about something else, you can participate in the other threads and be your zany libertarian self all you want, but you cannot pimp Ron Paul. Those with accounts more than six months old may proceed as normal.

Now, I could offer a long-winded explanation for *why* this new policy is being instituted, but I'm guessing that most of you can probably guess. Unless you lack the self-awareness to understand just how annoying, time-consuming, and bandwidth-wasting responding to the same idiotic arguments from a bunch of liberals pretending to be Republicans can be. Which, judging by your comment history, you really don't understand, so allow me to offer an alternate explanation: we are a bunch of fascists and we're upset that you've discovered where we keep the black helicopters, so we're silencing you in an attempt to keep you from warning the rest of your brethren so we can round you all up and send you to re-education camps all at once.

On a serious note, it strikes this impartial observer that Ron Paul supporters do themselves and their candidate a major disservice with some of their actions. Redstate is a very conservative site, yes, socially, but also fiscally, and one that would probably be open to much of what Paul has to say. Instead, Redstate has to ban Paulites because it heard the "fascist" line one too many times. Not very smart.
