If you live in Columbia and looked outside this afternoon to see droves of zombie-like Paulites lifelessly marching down the street in perfect lockstop with their eyes rolled back in their heads and their arms extended at a 90-degree angle in front of them, then you might have figured out that the Ron Paul blimp is back in the sky.
After trolling the skies in Myrtle Beach, the blimp touting Republican candidate can be seen downtown this afternoon.
Paul, a longshot in South Carolina, hasn’t visited much in Columbia, but his blimp is a conversation starter. See how the blimp takes off in this video shot by our sister paper, The Sun News, in Myrtle Beach. [S.C. Politics Today]
One Paulite was reported as saying, “It is taking us to The Leader,” before mumbling off some kind of incoherent babble about the military industrial complex. No one knows for sure where the blimp is going, but persistent rumors suggest that it is embarking on a one-way trip to Conspiracy Land.

Sigh.
Now lets see if we can clean up the writing a little here to just include things that are true…
If you live in Columbia and looked outside this afternoon ***Insulting people that disagree removed*** then you might have figured out that the Ron Paul blimp is back in the sky.

**More imaginary stuff**
You really are a petty, petty little kid.
I’m going to experience a great amount of satisfaction, discussing it here, when your beloved savior McCain gets annihilated in the general election.
The story on how the blimp came to be is better than the blimp sightings themselves…
Apparently, some hippies in North Carolina spent their usual free time raising money for L. Ron Paul and they bought a blimp with it…
…or at least that’s how it was written when I read it on the Golden Tablets.
It’s kinda nice to see people really supporting an honest candidate. I realize if you are in any way connected with the media, you have to scoff and dish Dr Paul.
Many many Columbia residents are planning to vote for him, so we’ll of course get a good feel of our ES&S voting machines .
Did you know the brother to the Diebold man runs or owns the ES&S company?????
I enjoy reading your blog, but have been increasingly turned off by your treatment of Ron Paul and his supporters. It’s a free country though, and if you want to alienate readers by mocking a man who has fought for your rights as a taxpayer in Congress, go for it.
sweet lord the mother ship left with out me
AMNESTY. AMNESTY. AMNESTY. It hurts to see that word, doesn’t it? I hear that the minutemen and Confederate flag people are dogging McCain everywhere he goes. The only candidate with high ‘negatives’, and protesters. Geez.
The same outfit that’s running the McCain SC campaign also runs an organization called “I Don’t Believe The State”, referring to the Columbia SC State newspaper. Why don’t they listen to their own advice? They don’t believe the State, but the State endorsed McCain.
This is really going to hurt what could have been a solid coalition. Big Government Amnesty Republicans is not the pathway to anything, especially success.
McCain has been the neocon candidate for years, since Karl Rove jumped on board. That’s why Mac rolls his eyes and throws his head back whenever Ron Paul mentions that Reagan was not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
It’s not conspiracy. McCain openly defends the NAFTA superhighway, a national ID card (which SC has passed a bill to nullify), the dissolution of American sovereignty into a new government to be called the North American Union (with Mexico, etc) that would dissolve all borders (regardless of whether or not there’s a new little fence), and the replacement of the Dollar with the “Amero”.
‘Conspiracy’? Whatever. Just ask McCain. Or, for that matter, ask his little dirty tricks boy Fred Thompson. If we want to talk about conspiracy theory… Ok, I actually have one. I don’t know it to be true, but I’d be willing to wager a $100 with anyone who could provide an answer. Here it is:
When Limbaugh outed the Mac’s Amnesty plan last summer, the neocons panicked and had Thompson announce. Thompson’s American Conservative Union rating is only 82 (very low for a Republican). That’s even 4 points lower than Lib boy McCain’s 86. So, they sent out Phoney Fred the Hollywood actor, who is buddies with, and campaigned hard in 2000 for, the Mac. Fred stays quiet, and then pipes up just in time to pretend he’s to the right of Romney and Huckabee for the SC primary. That cyphens off part of the Goldwater-Reagan Democratic voters and drives a wedge between Huck and the Morman, and throws the election to McCain.
Brilliant little plan. So, ok, that’s my only conspiracy theory.
In the meanwhile, why doesn’t anyone with any balls talk about what actually comes out of Ron Paul’s mouth, instead of what those NYC pricks at Fox News (and CNN and elsewhere) put into his mouth? Just asking.
I’ve seen so much name calling against Ron Paul. If Palmetto Scoop or anyone actually believes in McCain or any of the others with so much enthusiasm, as if they weren’t actually being paid for it, then why not engage Paulians in debate. Besides, we don’t even take the name-calling personally.
