Representative Ron Paul told radio host Alex Jones that he was groped by a TSA employee.
Congressman Paul called for a boycott of the airlines.
Via Infowars:
Ron Paul on the TSA:
“The government want us to show them our genitalia. They want to take pictures of us and put their hands in our pants and all that. That’s hopefully enough to wake the people up. What I think is great. We complain a lot about the mainstream media. They haven’t been very friendly to us. But, there’s been a lot of good pictures on all the TV stations because it’s been so abusive… I think almost all of Americans have seen these pictures now and are saying to themselves, “Hey, what’s going on here? Why are they doing this?” So, I think it’s a healthy wake up call.”

Alex Jones? Come on, Ron. Can’t we do better than that?

This entire situation is so funny! Has anyone ever actually SEEN sheep being sheared? The big old fat sheep comes into the pen, the dude grabs it and sets the sheep on it’s butt! This quiets the sheep down and it’s promptly sheared!!!
After the sheep is put back on it’s feet it scampers of in a hurry, with a confused look on it’s face – as if to say, “What just happened there?”
Once big and fat, with a fine protective coat of wool, the sheep is now skinny and scrawny with a mangled haircut that nobody would envy. LOL
This kind of reminds me of the American public, after they get their rhetorical Tea Bag fondled by real power – power that’s not so fuzzy warm and comforting. Enjoy yourselves sheep.

The use of sexual abuse is a very clever way of imposing tyranny – just as rape is used by invading forces in war on a conquered and victimized civilian population (unless they are soldiers schooled in ethical behavior like American and Israeli soldiers). Sexual abuse leaves the victim confused and helpless. How better to cow a proud citizenry than to force the victim to stand with legs apart and arms up in the air in full abandon for a naked shot or to have the victim’s sexual organs (as we know, even feeling the legs, stomach or arms can produce a sexual sensation) groped by a total stranger who is not a doctor!

Alex Jones-the 9/11 Troofer who got in Michelle Malkin’s face, bullying her for having an opinion-is lecturing about TSA groping?
Alex Jones-he’s the reason why I know Ron Paul is batcrap crazy insane.

Now here’s something interesting. It appears that before they decided to treat the American public as criminals, the TSA also decided to allow some terrorists onto airplanes anyway.

Article also explains the watchlist and states that TSA recently decided (after the underwear bomber) to include individuals on the watch list on the basis of a single report “if they judge the report is credible.”
Gini commented:
Fox & Friends just mentioned that there was a demonstration of the “pat down” technique on the floor of the House and that many turned their heads away or covered their eyes. If Ron Paul was present why didn’t he speak up then? Why did none of the Representatives speak out? Has anyone else heard of the demonstration to Congress? Something is mising here.

You don’t get out much huh Rancid?
republicanmother commented:
Ron Paul is one of the few if only Congressman who doesn’t give himself special favors. Recall our man Boehner went around the security checkpoint when he flew. He’s also the only Congressman that gives back part of his Congressional office back to the Treasury. You may disagree with Ron Paul, but you can’t disagree with his sincerity.
If there was a pat down demo on the floor of the house, was it one of those where no one is really in the room?
BTW, Drudge has been linking Alex a lot lately, too. Does that make him nuts?

[A House staffer who attended the briefing] said that several House staffers were so uncomfortable they averted their eyes when the TSA demonstrated an enhanced pat-down in the room of 200 people.
“The dumbest part: They did two pat-down demonstrations — male on male, and female on female,” the House staffer said. And they used a young female TSA volunteer “and in front of a room of 200 people, they touched her breasts and her buttocks. People were averting their eyes. The TSA was trying to demonstrate ‘this is not so bad,’ but it made people so uncomfortable to watch that people were averting their eyes.”
“They shot themselves in the foot,” the staffer continued.
Perfected democrat commented:
I’m not a big fan R.P., but he’s right on the money with this one…
demasque commented:
What I wonder is what is being done with your data *after* you pass through the TSA checkpoint? They say the nekkid image won’t be shared (yet there they are on the internet), but will it be retained? Merged with your Obamacare file?
This looks like the setup for a national ID card system. Blank is beautiful.

“Ron Paul is one of the few if only Congressman who doesn’t give himself special favors.”
Actually he is one of the few Congressman who plies himself with earmark cash while raving about all the other earmarks. Sincerity? He is a liar wrapped in 9/11 Troofer.
Drugde links to The View and Robert Gibbs-so another 9/11 Troofer Alex Jones (the equalivent of Amy Goodman and Rhonda Rhodes) does not mean Drudge is the batcrap crazy insane one.
susan commented:
Pardon me correct the Air-America insane-like- Alex-Jones-crazy is Randy Rhodes.
It is astonishing how Middle America does not see that the extreme right-extreme left are on the same Alex Jones- Randy Rhodes spectrum.
Ron Paul is as extreme as is Nancy Pelosi.
susan commented:
Lastly; I now have to agree with Ron Paul on one issue.
I have changed my stance on the events of 9/11/2001, instead of defending ourselves let us bring the troops home from around the world so that the enemies of America can come to our land to reign their ‘power of peace’ built by dirty dealings with Ron Paul’s dictators.
The enemies first bring their peace to Boston, NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, LA ending with a wildy peaceful display on Washington DC and surrounding areas.
THis way Ron Paul and Alex Jones will never again have a reason to rant about Boosh, Jooos, or the Federal Reserve.
JimmyT commented:
Paul calls for us to boycott airlines because of TSA policies? He wants us to kill an already struggling industry because he won’t do his job? Congress may not have direct control of the TSA policies because they delegated their responsibility to the executive branch, but, they can control what happens by repealing these regulations or defunding the Homeland Security Agency. Paul, and the rest of congress can stop this in it’s tracks, IF they have the guts to do it. Don’t criticize the airlines Mr. Paul. DO YOUR JOB!
