Ron Paul supporters promote Romney assassination

              Texas congressman Ron Paul won the straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference for the second straight year and former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney finished second.  Paul got 30 percent of the votes cast, while Romney polled 23 percent. (Feb. 12)

Adam Kokesh, founder of Veterans For Ron Paul and the man who many believe is the face of the Ron Paul Movement, is revealing the true meaning of "R3VOLution." In 2010 Ron Paul, the quixotic presidential nominee who is running on a platform of crippling labor unions, prohibiting abortion , austerity and repealing the 14th amendment , endorsed Kokesh run for Congress.

On his talk show this week, Adam Vs The Man, Kokesh read an email from a viewer which said "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 responded that "it sure is tempting isn't it, to think that you could take out one life and prevent the deaths of so many others."

A spokesperson for the Secret Service, Brian Leary responded "we are aware of this issue and we are conducting the appropriate follow-up." Threatening the life of a major presidential candidate is against federal law and carries a fine or sentence of up to five years in federal prison.

Ron Paul, a former publisher of racist and antisemitic newsletters who has attracted a large following of white supremacists is himself no stranger to inflamatory rhetoric which fuels the imagination of young people. At his speeches, where young, mostly white males chant "End The Fed" with clinched fists pumping into the air in a scene reminiscent of 1930's Munich, he promises a "revolution is coming". In a recent youtube message to supporters he rails against the "mainstream media" and the "establishment" and generally fosters and "us against them" mentality.

So it really comes as no suprise when his supporters begin advocating violence in the form of killing political opponents.

UPDATE: From Adam Kokesh facebook page:

"Just got a call from the Secret Service. I politely told them I'd be happy to meet with them, as requested, but would not give them any info not publicly available unless I was legally compelled to do so."

Well written - thank you. And thank you for your appreciated support.

Maybe some Ron Paul supporters should simply hold Romney down and shave his hair off. A hairless Romney wouldn't stand a chance against the silver-haired Paul.
NOTE: I do not really advocate the forced shaving of Mitt Romney's head, be it by Ron Paul supporters or anyone else. It is a joke of sorts, alluding to Romney's alleged act of cutting the hair off a teenager back when Mitt was a teen, too.

Is what Adam Kokesh said that bad? Is there anyone reading this who thinks it would have been a bad idea to kill Hitler? Stalin? Mao? Pol Pot? Kony? So why does anyone think Romeny''s life is worth more than 10,000 Iranian civilians? Our political class wants Americans to think that the idea of killing them (the political class) is ludicrous and psychotic to even ponder, yet they have no problem lying Americans into war and having people die by the millions. They have no problem killing US presidents themselves. They have no problem assassinating the presidents of other countries. They have no problems killing people like Kenneth Trentadue as part of Operation PATCON. (Please Google "Operation PATCON") Why is it our ruling political class can kill by the millions and impoverish Americans for generations, yet they want the masses to believe that the idea of killing a politician who engages in war crimes and kills innocents by the millions should be considered so radical and far-fetched as to be considered an idea of the lunatic fringe? The police kill innocent people without a thought and commit perjury to destroy peoples' lives because someone demanded the police acknowledge their rights. The government kills for natural resources or because it dislikes the way a nation's economic system is ordered. The government kills and tortures because the people who control it want to ensure a monetary unit's primacy that benefits them. The elite want to kill Assange for exposing the truth. The Army thinks we should kill people because some lying clown politician said so. I think if more people killed to stop evil politicians, judges, police and other corrupt leaders we would have a better world. To reach out and touch someone only costs about 50 cents and could save millions of people and trillions of dollars. Our government supports assassinations. So do I! What have I said that is not true? This marginalizing of thought is done so that the only assassinations that take place are those sanctioned by our elite masters, bankers and the police state. It is a means to control the masses to ensure that the elite maintain their control. Killing is okay for them, but not for us. Lawlessness is okay for them, but not for us. We ave a two-tiered justice system whose lawlessness and criminality exceeds that of Soviet show trials.

and people wonder why Ron Paul's own son is distancing himself from his father's campaign by endorsing Romney.
