Agitprop: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Propaganda

Revenge of the Paultards

Oh my:

Maverick GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul has booked an arena in Minneapolis for a “mini-convention” that could steal some of John McCain’s thunder just days before he accepts the Republican nomination.

Wait - I thought McSame was the maverick ….

“There is a growing surge of people out there just craving” for a return “to traditional American government, limited government that places personal liberty first and places an emphasis on personal responsibility and essentially gets out of the way after that,” [spokesman Jesse] Benton said. “The buzz we get from supporters is that they are very eager to come to St. Paul and very eager to send a strong message.”

McCain spokesman Jeff Sadosky declined comment. Paul has won 35 convention delegates, but was not invited to speak in St. Paul because he refuses to endorse McCain, according to his campaign.

Megan, I think you have to go cover this for a few of those fourteen blogs you write for ….  Damn I love the Paultards.  Pass the popcorn.

Ron Paul Plans His Own Convention [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review]

Revenge of the Paultards

Blogging can be difficult. It’s not easy to find something to snark about in a world filled with war, death, and compasssionate conservatives eager to waterboard us.

Then, there are the days bloggers live for, like today. This morning I was listening to Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, and they had a segment about the latest Paultard idea - gated communities filled with Paultards. How did I miss this?

At last, some cheering news for downhearted fans of Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican now certain to fail, by some distance, to secure his party’s presidential nomination. This month has seen the first meeting of the shareholders in a fledgling community development planned in rural Texas, to be comprised exclusively of Paul’s supporters. It is to be called Paulville.

The gated settlement will house freedom-loving folk, living unbound by the shackles of planning regulations. Its founders hope that when complete, it will inspire further Paulvilles around America and, in their own words, “literally change the world, one community at a time”.

More Paultard nonsense after the jump.
