Anybody else suspect Ron Paul's campaign is trying really, really hard to co-opt OWS?

6. I've got to +1 that. n/t

5. Yes.

I somewhat know that they are. It's an organizing principle of not merely the Paul campaign but the larger Ron Paul supporting community to co-opt everything they can in the name of Ron, "Champion of the People".

7. They are trying to. The problem with that is that trying never got anything done.

13. Especially when the most of them are talking about Social Justice. nt

8. Of course they are, note to Paul supporters: We are Occupying Wall St

The same institutions that Ron Paul wants to let run wild and destroy our country. Paul calls the Wall St agenda "Freedom" while we call it financial tyranny.

9. Lyndon Larouche has been trying to co-opt various progressive movements for years

Hasn't had a lot of luck with that...

10. And failing at it really, really badly.

Ignorant people love Libertarianism because it's simple.

It can't work in any way, but the simplicity is attractive to those that can't understand a modern market economy.


Paulists will have a hrd time finding stupid people at those protests.

12. They are all over the OWS facebook pages
