Ron Paul Defends WikiLeaks Founder Assange

[Straw Man]

After you tried to take a dig at Huckabee thinking that he was talking about Assange.

I suggest you check that link out. Either that or actually do some reading on thread topics before responding to them.

you're telling me you're honestly and truly confused

ok

sorry I can't help you anymore

I'm sorry that you haven't done any reading on this and actually thought they were referring to Assange and not Manning. You don't bold a statement asking how a non-citizen can be charged with treason and then act like that wasn't what you were talking about when it's subsequently pointed out that the person they were referring to is a US citizen. Nice try but that's a swing and a miss.

Bindare admitted he was mistaken. You're too fucking stupid and thick-headed to do the same.  

Not surprising given the litany of other embarrassing shit you've posted on here and your subsequent refusals to admit you were wrong when successfully refuted.

they were both referring to TREASON

Assange is Australian so maybe Huckleberry Hound thinks he's committed treason on Australia

Bible Spice referred specifically to the website so maybe she thinks the website is a US Citizen

Are you truly this confused or just bored and want to have a semantic pissing contest?

Straw - what is your opinion of thisd whole episode to begin with.

Straw - what is your opinion of thisd whole episode to begin with.

I'm sort of undecided.  I've been super busy with work and I haven't followed much of any news recently.
I like that he's giving politicians fits and as much as I hate GS and BofA (speculating that one or both may be the "bank" that's supposed to be leaked) I see a danger in something like that because he's distributed this info to lots of people and I can see the obvious potential to manipulate the market.   All in all - still undecided on whether it's a good, bad or ultimately irrelevent (for example the "shocking" revelation that the US has lost faith in Mexico's ability to win the drug war)

LOL

BF - I see what you're saying about Huckabee's comment.  I hadn't bothered to look before.

I searched for the actual quote from him

"Whoever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason, and I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty," Huckabee stated

key phrase left out of original paraphrase

[Soul Crusher]

I'm still pissed off ar huck for that disastrous pardon he granted.

Like I've said about RP in the past, I like much of what he stands for but he has NO clue about foreign policy in regards to defense....  in that regard he lives in a fairytale land where our enemies always conduct themselves by the "Marquis of Kingsbury" rules.....very naive.

yes he does, his foreign policy ideas are one of his best attributes imo...

and no he does not live in a fantasy land about our enemies, his critics have put that idea out and out of context from what he says.

FUCKING SPOT ON

Ron Paul Defends WikiLeaks Founder Assange
Friday, 03 Dec 2010
    
Most Republicans and Democrats say WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be prosecuted for the group’s treacherous decision to reveal U.S. diplomatic and military secrets. But maverick Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, disagrees, Politico reports.

“In a free society we're supposed to know the truth,” Paul tells Fox Business. “In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.”

Further, he says, “This whole notion that Assange, who's an Australian, that we want to prosecute him for treason. I mean, aren't they jumping to a wild conclusion? This is media, isn't it? I mean, why don't we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this?”

Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric Holder says the Justice Department is researching whether Assange can be prosecuted, and former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee, says whoever leaked the documents to Wiki should be charged with treason and executed if found guilty.

The Swedish Govt has acted like a US sock poppet. They also deliberately overstated the charges they were making, which was consensual sex without a condom, then put Interpol on him for that! Talk about an abuse of power. Persecuting somebody on behalf of an embarrassed US.

i seem to recall he let someone go who later killed or raped and killed someone

my point as that if you have one defining characterstic (at least on this board) it's anger

And your defining characteristic (at least on this board) is stupidity, as BF aptly pointed out.  Hmmm...what's the greater...

more like indifference

I was responding to Bindare's paraphrase which just happened to leave out the key phrase of "in our government"

if BF had bothered to take 5 seconds to find the actual quote or video then it could have saved a lot of time

I had no problem admitting he was right after I bothered to care enough to go look for the actual quote myself

btw - my actual statement which was about Palin was still 100% correct

Yep, nothing says indifference like 10,247 posts.

Oh Snap Skippy

Brilliant conclusion

As if the sum total of my posts over a 4 year period means I can't be indifferent, uninterested, pre-occuppied, etc.. about any given statement on any given day

My statement was about Palin and it was accurate and I didn't care to take the time to confirm/verify Hucks statement

Here is BD's quote:

^ This too. All of a sudden theres a shit storm.  

Gov. Mike Huckabee, says whoever leaked the documents to Wiki should be charged with treason and executed if found guilty.
btw, How do you charge a non citizen with treason?

Pretty obvious that "whoever leaked the documents to Wiki" is referring to the American who leaked the documents to Wiki.  Bindare was smart enough to acknowledge his mistake, which as I said is what smart people do.  Idiots (particularly Village Idiots), will go down with the ship, arguing dumb mistakes all day long.

Can't argue with this.
