Thread: Tom Woods to join Ron Paul's big project

    He made a post about future C4L focus and included Wead in a group of some pushing for an unpopular position, and Wead said no, he wasn't involved, hadn't been at the conversation in question and was not employed by the same employer. Woods corrected his post to take Wead out of the group.

    I do think TW occassionally isn't precise, is occasionally more snarky than necessary, but I'll take those qualities with all his others, working for Ron. No one is perfect and I think Ron needs people like Tom Woods at his side.

    This episode should be great also. He interviews Larken Rose.

    In your opinion, it was over. One hell of a lot of people didn't share YOUR opinion.

    By this point there was no shortage of contempt in the liberty community regarding Benton.
    Yappers on the forums, no. Actual activists, not so much. Most people didn't even know who the hell Benton was. But, these were people who were out there actually doing something.

    The rest of your statement is pure bull$#@!. Woods did not go on the record again until September. Then when he did he spoke from personal experience. It turns out he was right about Benton. What's this about him making "all kinds of unfounded accusations about people like Doug Wead"?
    Woods is not God and he showed exactly what he was made of when he publicly attacked RON PAUL'S campaign. If he, as he claimed, was only trying to get the information to Ron, perhaps picking up the phone might have been a bit more appropriate. But, he didn't do that did he.

    Yeah, maybe it will keep his mouth directed towards actually helping the liberty movement.

    Keep your friends close and your enemies, closer.

    Time to just get over it LE. If Ron is working with Tom then you attacking Tom is no better than others attacking Benton.

    Fine. But now you are becoming like the people you've been attacking for attacking Benton. Think about it.

    Given Beck is gearing up a pseudo libertarian site and will have to pull in some of the real deal to have anything remotely approaching credibility, it is a good thing Ron signed Tom up first, imho.

    I don't think there's a chance Woods would have worked for Beck.

So advocates of liberty must reject incremental approaches and fight boldly for bedrock principles.

    Why? Is he attacking Tom Woods now? The point is, if you don't like folks attacking people Ron has chosen to work with, then don't attack someone Ron has chosen to work with. If Tom Woods is fair game even now, then don't complain next time someone rips Benton.

    Agree.

    In an educational setting why is there particular need to focus on the Gop primary voter?

    I presume Ron's plan to continually educate people is steeped in some form of eventual activism on their part after the fact, at some point. At the top of the list of activism, among other things, is likely the bolstering of our ranks in reforming the GOP from the bottom up so that DC can be plunged for once. I mean, why would Ron back off his plan to restore the GOP that he started 5 years ago esp since his son is a heavy hitter these days..

    Right. All the education in the world is meaningless if one does not do something with the knowledge they have gained.

    Are you being serious. He is one of the only moderate people we have. He speaks to all the ex-republicans. He isn't crass or harsh to listen to. Plus he holds the degrees for the universities most of the public takes serious.

    Tom Woods attacked Ron's campaign. Benton didn't. HUGE difference.

    Still, I said he had useful qualities and I hoped he used them in this project. If you want internet fallatio performed on him, you will have to do it yourself.

    Obvious RP sees it differently than our esteemed member above. Perhaps he realizes Benton is a jerk as well?

    And with this unnecessary provocation, the thread immediately takes a predictable turn for the worse and a debate of personalities instead of a positive thread talking about the possibilities. Perhaps next time post the content, discuss the subject and avoid making it personal with snipes about other rpf members.

    I suspect Ron is keeping the torch going which draws people in to begin with, and that would mean continuing spreading the message as he always had. The campaign may have been over as to the nomination in April, but he was drawing an average of 5,000 people to every event and more and more people were tuning in.

    Just as our candidates, in office, find it hard to get things done when they are surrounded with establishment murk the institutional existence of which pushes back, if the people really want this, the politicians will find themselves needing to cater to it.

    Ron already said it himself: "I am not just trying to win an election, I am trying to change the course of history!"

    Then when people are tuned in, they will look around for the best candidates and find them, but those candidates aren't lighting the sort of torch that brings in the mass of Americans that don't even tune into primaries - yet.

    Ron's supporters, many of us, came out of 'nowhere' as far as primary polling goes.

    And that's why I'm so pumped about Ron's "retirement" activities. Instead of playing bridge or golf, his hobby of purveying educationally induced activism is so inspiring. No doubt about it he's Founding Father material and then some.
