I’d really hoped to avoid posting much more if anything on RON PAUL2012!!!!!11!!!!! anytime soon, but, think how this would play on CBS Evening News during the general election time as we get the Ron Paul Quote Of The Day about Bradley Manning, on trial for treason for giving national security to Wikileaks (via Ace)
(Accuracy in Media) ……Paul has called Manning, a crossdresser with acknowledged mental problems, a “hero†and “patriot†for stealing government secrets and providing them to WikiLeaks.
However, speaking at a campaign rally, Paul said that while Manning may have “technically†broken the law against releasing classified information to WikiLeaks, he did so for the purpose of exposing the “horrible things†being carried out by the U.S. Government.
Referring to Manning’s detention before trial, Paul said, “Should he be locked up and imprisoned?†Manning should be seen as a “political hero†and “true patriot who reveals what’s going on,†Paul said.
Of course, the Paul supporters will say that is being taken “out of context”. Let me know how your defense works when tens of millions see Paul’s quotes on the network evening news, read it in the NY Times, Washington Post, etc. Good luck with that.
