Really? I can't seem to find it. But wait, I forgot you are a multi-dimensional A2Ker and not bound to the limitations of a single thread.
Paul has since distanced himself from the comments and claims he has no idea who the source might be. I believe him without reservation, but it does call into question the "adorabilty" of his supporters.
Paul is a very interesting and even likeable character, but he would make a terrible president. The things he says are attractive because they, at a very basic level, seem sensible and they challenge convention. The problem is that just about everything he purposes is facile and cannot ever come to be.
In addition he is just the sort of "leader" who is likely to be used as a figurehead by less principled and more opportunistic individuals.
He's a gadfly, something of a kook and utterly unqualified to be the president of the US.
His followers are a strange mixed-bag of cultish misfits. These are not the Young Lions of the 21st century. Maybe the Magpies of 2008. They are, to me, creepy (and I have no problem with Warcraft or other near cyber realities). They seem to be the children of Lyndon Laruche supporters.
In the sort of sci-fi world that I suspect his supporters feel comfortable, Paul is the secondary character that leads to the apocolypse.
