Streetsweeper sends us a link to the Examiner<\/a> (Not the Washington Examiner) which tells us about an Adam Kokesh podcast in which our buddy, Adam, reads an email from a fan. Rather than post yet another Adam Kokesh YouTube video, here’s how the reading went from the Examiner;<\/p>\n

“There is a way the nomination can be given to Ron Paul,” the email read by Kokesh said.<\/p>\n

“Romney needs to die,” the letter continued.<\/p>\n

According to the allegedly anonymous 19-year-old author of the email, the idea is more about saving America and innocent lives than ensuring a Paul nomination.<\/p>\n

“I don’t get a lot of emails like this,” Kokesh said, adding that he has been “privileged” to hear “various forms of this proposal put forth.”<\/p>\n

He went on to say that he has never endorsed or suggested such action.<\/p>\n

“But, I cannot deny that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind, as well as so many other libertarians and Ron Paul supporters of late,” he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Is Romney’s life equal to 500,000 innocent Iranian civilians he wants to kill,” the email asked, calling Romney a “terrorist.”<\/p>\n

The email’s author claimed to be planning a video highlighting the assassination of Romney “and the turn of events it could cause.”<\/p>\n

“The true patriot,” the email added, “would execute the ones who put the Patriot Act into place.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, except that Romney was never in Congress, so he had nothing to do with the Patriot Act.<\/p>\n

Of course, then Kokesh launched into a history lesson for his listener (singular on purpose) about how World War II could have been prevented by assassinating Hitler, because, you know Romney would be like Hitler if he was president and annex Austria. Or something.<\/p>\n

But, I guess the upshot of this is that Ron Paulians are perfectly rational Americans who never vocalize the incessant voices in their head. And they’re not crazy enough to broadcast their compatriots’ idiot emails on the podcast. Because, that would trigger a Secret Service investigation, wouldn’t it? I mean, Romney has a Secret Service detail, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
