29. These are the Ron Paul supporters. They overlooked a lot of reality and completely ignored critical

thinking as Alex Jones crooned over Ron Paul every single day on the air.

Along with the head of the John Birch Society, and a few token anti-war people. I did listen to him for a looong time trying to figure out the Zeitgeist beliefs, as did a lot of Democrats n the Bush years.

People made their choice to go libertarian, GOP or stay Democrats in 2008 because they couldn't stand Obama, or felt their new cult was much more comfortable. The Paulbots are zealots who give lipservice to anything but their own narrow version of civil rights, but largely Birchers at heart.

At this time they are at loose ends after the predictable shafting Ron Paul gave them, since he was GOP, and are prowling around looking to ratfuck the Democratic Party to peel off members into joining them, just as they did in 2008. In whatever brand name they come up with yet, but still GOP and Koch in results.

They are fascists who follow the classic model set out by FDR's VP. Our party's weakness is that we really do believe in giving all voices a space - they don't. It may require some rough talk as this man in Boston did to define what is not right about these demagogues and their followers who are promoting this stuff.

We don't have to shut them down and we won't, since we have seen how ugly their ways are when the Teahadists went after all the Town Halls and spread their lies, hate and made threats against Democrats, which they still do to this day.

Let them sound like the mouth breathing brainwashed tools of the Koch brothers that they really are, come face to face with those who do know what liberty and freedom is, what community is, as explained in Will Pitt's OP. He lays it out in the strongest terms that might wake some up. I consider it to be best answer to all of this:
