Ron Paul Twitter Account
Is it Ron actually running this? Because this last tweet is pretty offensive...

Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense
That is really odd.
The 'lives by the sword dies by the sword' seems very un-Ron-ish, under the circumstances, but the frustration at taking a guy with PTSD to a firing range could be a doctor thing.
I'm thinking not.
He seems to have some people who insert leftist cultural stuff into his things (read the immigration chapter in Liberty Defined, and I am not talking about the policy position, but they 'they have a better work standard' gratuitous slap in the face stuff') I don't like leftist red meat any more than rightist red meat, and Ron doesn't typically use ANY. So, I don't know.

It just worries me because this guy is regarded highly by most people in this country (those that have heard about him) and having someone like Ron's account cut him down and almost treat the death like a joke does real damage to our movement. I know lots of people don't like Rand because he tries to be overly polished sometimes but it's stuff like this which does more harm than good. If you're going to tweet libertarian red meat, don't do it over a navy SEAL's dead body.Originally Posted by sailingaway
BY all means, let's have this person run RonPaul.com, since he's doing such a bang up job on Facebook and Twitter.
I think the PTSD line came from here, not Ron Paul himself.

I blog at Red State Eclectic, I totally tweet here, I sell stuff here, and also here. Liberty rocks!
The left and right are pretty detached from what reactions their red meat inspires on the other side. And from independents for that matter.
I agree. Not sure what to do about it.
I think only his supporters are following him now, and I won't retweet that, if you won't...

If this is indeed Ron behind this tweet (and his facebook posts), I think it's safe to say that his first personal foray into social media hasn't been top-notch.
If it isn't Ron, the person who tweeted this shouldn't be allowed access to the account again.
You would think that by now Ron would require approval of anything that goes out bearing his name.
because he's into central management.
I'll never expect that. I would prefer he find someone trustworthy before he trusts them, however.
..sigh... If I tweet back my followers will just be curious and check out Ron's tweet. I hadn't seen it.

The backlash is already all over twitter and the conservative blogosphere. Honestly I'd like to see Rand repudiate the comments, because you know this will get the Rand-haters out in force.
Doesn't appear to be just his supporters based on the comments.
