No, seriously. That is [expletive] hilarious. And I say this as “the” Ron Paul spammer.
Brilliant

You are very kind. And very open-minded.

Brilliant.

Next time, I will bother to read the other two comments first, then come up with a synonym for “brilliant.”

Best thing I’ve seen in decades!
Bright and shiny.

Oh, well… Five of us are open-minded.
It’s the other three that cause all the stink. :D

Jesus H., Ari. I just got done euthanizing one Ron Paul commentpalooza for you, and here you go starting another. What’s up with that?

It’s funny. I can’t resist funny. Really, I’m a total sucker.

Fair enough. I’m that way about short’nin’ bread.

Plus, I don’t think Josh Marshall will link to us again. So we should be safe from the aggrieved Paulbots.

Just fyi, I posted a facebook note critical of Paul about an hour agao. One Paul supporter has already posted 11 comments.

I guess we’re even more obscure here than I thought.

Well you are historians, after all.
If eager sincerity counted for anything, I suppose the Paulites would win. They’re like teenage boys at a whorehouse. Quite a lot like that, actually.

I’m gonna disown you, Kelman.

All this Paul stuff is just a warmup. I suspect that Ari’s just putting the finishing touches on a long post discussing the history of abortion and gun rights in Israel/Palestine. All traffic is good traffic!

In that case, I suppose it’s just as well that I clearly spoke too soon. (And don’t forget the dastardly West Bank income tax!)

“a long post discussing the history of abortion and gun rights in Israel/Palestine”
Hmm.
