Ron "The Only Man Who Can Save America" Paul: Gender-Conflicted Sociopath and Traitor Bradley Manning Is A "Hero" and a "Patriot"

Bradley Manning gave all the sensitive intelligence he could to WikiLeaks, which of course outed it all, in stages. The last bit outing -- of the real names of our agents working in hostile countries, against their own governments or terrorist groups which have the favor of the government -- was supposedly an "accident," but that information was outed all the same.

People have been killed, obviously.

Because Bradley Manning was all butthurt or something.

Bradley Manning is a narcissistic, sociopathic coward and traitor with the blood of murder on his delicate little hands.

But that's not the Bradley Manning Ron Paul knows.

No, Ron Paul sees the "hero" and "patriot" in him.

Paul has called Manning, a crossdresser with acknowledged mental problems, a “hero” and “patriot” for stealing government secrets and providing them to WikiLeaks.

Manning, who served as an intelligence analyst in Iraq, is charged with one of the most spectacular and damaging leaks of classified information in this country’s history. The death penalty has been strangely ruled out in his case, but he could still face life in prison.

Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the “irresponsible posting of stolen classified documents by WikiLeaks puts lives at risk and gives adversaries valuable information.”

The Ron Paul 2012 website shows a young Ron Paul in a military uniform and as someone who would pursue a “pro-America foreign policy.” It says, “As an Air Force veteran, Ron Paul believes national defense is the single most important responsibility the Constitution entrusts to the federal government.”

It says nothing about the Congressman’s support for accused Army traitor Bradley Manning.

However, speaking at a campaign rally, Paul said that while Manning may have “technically” broken the law against releasing classified information to WikiLeaks, he did so for the purpose of exposing the “horrible things” being carried out by the U.S. Government.

Referring to Manning’s detention before trial, Paul said, “Should he be locked up and imprisoned?” Manning should be seen as a “political hero” and “true patriot who reveals what’s going on,” Paul said.

The Bradley Manning Support Network published an article saying that Paul believes that Manning is a “whistleblower” and his actions “are essential to the country.”

It's all vintage hobgoblin, but go to 4:00 to hear Paul say that WikiLeaks is "technically" breaking the law, then praising an "American citizen" who gives information to WikiLeaks (Manning, he means) for "practicing civil disobedience," and calling him a "true patriot."

No seriously: Quick, let's nominate this guy. Before the Democrats nominate him right from under us.

To balance this out, let me include some praise of Ron Paul. From noted conservative military theorist Rachel Maddow.
