The Criminally Insane Floodgates Are Open – This Time Romney Was Threatened

Has Ted Nugent has released a line of bottled water? Maybe there’s something in Glenn Beck’s survival seeds, or maybe people have simply lost their minds.

Right-wing podcaster, Ron Paul fan and Addicting Info non-fan, Adam Kokesh skirted his way around threatening the life of the presumed GOP Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, by loosely agreeing with a fan email that actually did, in no uncertain terms, call for the death of a Presidential candidate. From BuzzFeed:

Adam Kokesh, a prominent Paul supporter who has a YouTube talk show called “Adam vs. The Man” and was backed by Paul in his 2010 congressional bid, read parts of an email from a listener contemplating whether to kill Romney.


“There is a way the nomination can be given to Ron Paul,” he read aloud. “There is a way to fix the situation we currently face with Obama versus Romney. Romney needs to die.” Kokesh says the email came from a 19-year-old in Mississippi whom he wouldn’t name.

In the video, Kokesh says of the email, “I have never endorsed such a plan. I have never suggested such a plan. But I cannot deny that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind as well as so many other libertarians and Ron Paul supporters of late.”

Kokesh says that “obviously this raises some interesting moral issues” and “it sure is tempting isn’t it, to think that you could take out one life and prevent the deaths of so many others.”

Then Kokesh sort of backtracked and said, after philosophically endorsing the idea, that it was a bad idea.

Here’s the video:

1. This is really disgusting

It doesn't matter to whom it is directed. This is not what Americans, even ones with unusual political beliefs, should do.

Maybe it's because the internet allows marginal minds to obtain circulation and form communities in ways that before would have been uncoordinated crazy people talking to themselves on isolated streetcorners.

I'm starting to understand why some other perfectly democratic societies think we take freedom of expression a bit farther than it needs to go. Political discourse among a range of viewpoints seems to function reasonably well in other countries which have not tilted into muzzling that range of viewpoints.

This shit needs to stop.

2. That is all kinds of crazy.

This nitwit has listeners?

3. "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

It's stochastic terrorism.

4. Adam Kokesh? Wasn't he once a "media darling" and prominent member of IVAW??

I think he is the one who said the words in this .gif I made, if memory serves correct




Here he is:

5. The only solution is to let the haters, the nutjobs, the crazies, the wack jobs keep talking.

Although I fear for the nation, based on what I see my 90-yr-old father watch on TV (when it's not on Fox Noise), I must, MUST hold out hope for basic humanity to surface in at least some, eventually. If that's been torn away, we're all just fucked.

8. the problem is some of them go beyond just talking

6. Ron Paul followers are really really scary crazy

That bigoted sack Ron Paul is still running for president. Won't feel OK until after Mitt is the official nominee.

7. Ron Paul has some crazy supporters, this guy needs some serious help before he does something

really bad.

[Lawlbringer]

9. Ron Paul's followers wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so smug or

freaking crazy.


The rules they seem to live by are:
A) RON PAUL CAN DO NO WRONG
B) EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG AND THEREFORE THE ENEMY!

Not to sound too smug myself, but I hate Romney and his followers, but I don't consider them my enemies. I don't pity them, either. I just shrug and say, "To each his own."

Paulites can't seem to do that. It's Black and White. No ambiguity, no confusion. It's absolute in their minds. Friend, or enemy.

11. just the fact they think if Romney did die it would mean Ron Paul would be the Nominee

shows how out of it they are. on youtube they comment on anything with Ron PAul. it doesn't even have to do with the video. they don't even make an argument.

it's just comments like RON PAUL 2012, RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT ETC.
