Ron Paul Supporters...terrorists?

V for Ron Paul?



Apparently Glenn Beck feels that the recent record setting donation drive for Dr. Ron Paul, which took place on the 5th of November, makes all Ron Paul supporters terrorists.

Since Ron Paul has started his campaign the media has had nothing really bad to about RP.

A little info on this 5th of November "money bomb" which broke records: There was a movie out not too long ago called
'V for Vendetta' starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.

The Plot: Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he detonates two London landmarks and takes over the government-controlled airwaves, urging his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.

We can all imagine what it would be like living in that sort of country. (Patriot Act, GW Bush, yea...)

The main character in the movie who was genetically enhanced from his government experimenting on him, used a real life terrorist by the name of Guy Fawkes who lived in the 1600's as a model for his revolution.

Guy Fawkes who was a terrorist for trying to blow up British parliment to kill James I and reshape Englands government. He attempted this terrorist act on the 5th of november. The character "V" used this persona to carry out his reshaping of the hitler type government that was choking society with their "Finger men" (Secret Police) kidnapping anyone who may be against their way and disposing of a countries culture. In the movie V made his decision to blow up Parliment on the 5th of November as a symbol to his people to wake up and make their government afraid of them, not the other way around. In short - Great movie and I recommend to you, check it out if you haven't already.

Fast forward to Gleen Beck - his guests on the show - and Ron Paul. Apparently Glenn Beck got the opportunity he was looking for. Telling people that Ron Paul set up this "Money Bomb" which he did not. Saying that Ron Paul is exactly like Guy Fawkes which he is not. He left out some key points in his ramblings about Ron Paul, this donation drive and the movie V for Vendetta. He actually didn't really mention the movie at all and just connected the dots directly to Guy Fawkes and bypassed the movie. God, I wonder what connection Glenn Beck is going to make for the Veterans Day "Money Bomb".

It's also fact that the
U.S. Military Personnel have donated more money to Ron Paul then to any politician running for president. So is Glenn Beck calling our boys and girls in uniform terrorists as well? I think he should rethink his point on this topic and stop with the propaganda.

Watch the movie Glenn Beck. Actually talk to RP supporters and see that it had nothing to do with domestic terrorism but change for America. RP Supporters used a popular movie with similiar circumstances as a premise to help their cause. Don't be afraid of a movement like this - respect it and be impressed as most of us are.
