Ron Paul doesn’t scare me (or anybody, really). He’s just a kooky old man (with no shot at ever being President, and a waning chance of even retaining his Senate Congressional [oops] seat).
But his supporters — the Paul Bots — on the other hand, are some pretty scary, irrational people. Just ask Sutton’s town clerk, Jennifer Call:
She went home and locked her doors. She called her mother in North Carolina. She cried. The calls kept coming. She unhooked her answering machine and requested an unlisted number.
“I was drained emotionally and physically,” Call said. “That’s when I really started to freak out. Thursday it hit me, that most of these people are not rational. That’s when I became scared.”
The scary thing is that once Ron Paul fades away, these lunatics will still be here. They’ll just find another poster boy for their illogical conspiracy theories.

Ron Paul is a congressman, not a senator. Before you go insulting people and calling the “kooky” (implying that you ACTUALLY know something about them) you might want to at least get some basic facts right.
Uhhh, huh. Thanks for pointing out my error there, James.
Of course if you read any of the stuff I’ve written about Ron Paul — I’ve written a lot — you’d see that I clearly know he’s a Congressman (he used to be my Congressman when I lived near Galveston), and that I just wrote the wrong title.
Doesn’t alter the fact that the folks of South Texas are likely not to re-elect the old coot.
Ron Paul doesn’t support or believe in any conspiracy theories, as far as I know…he’s categorically rejected the notion that 9-11 was caused by anything but terrorists.
