Ron Paul Advertising On Air America

Just trying to figure out what the thinking is there.

if he thinks he will get a significant 'crossover' from disenchanted progressives just because he is weirder and nuttier that Kucinich - well, good luck, Ron, you flaming idiot!

Sutton anwered, "Because that's where the money is?"

An antiwar candidate trolling for pissed off anti-war voters on Air American, makes perfect sense to me.

I listen to that station specifically to avoid that piece of shit. And they're also running some ad featuring a guy named "August Bus(c)h" (?) who is probably from the pisswater beer family and not the Bush Crime Family, but in all probability not Liberal in either case. And his ad is also connected with Ducks Unlimited, who aren't exactly a liberal organization themselves. Though at least they want to preserve the environment (so they can keep shooting critters for fun)

to the Andheuser Busch Breweries fortune. Don't know which one you heard, but I think its IV. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Busch_III

Ducks Unlimited, while a supporter of hunting, is also a major force in wetland conservation. Busch is a supporter.

Too bad you can't stand the idea of someone "not Liberal in any case" actually doing something worthwhile. And while I don't get a thrill out of shooting critters, don't choose to do it, I don't disparage those who enjoy duck hunting in the wild. It's the game-farm hunters who creep me out.

And frankly, if some people who want to shoot critters for fun were allowed to cull some of the burgeoning deer herd around here, it would not make me unhappy. At least then the dead deer would not have caused an auto accident whilst cashing it in.

And if my local Air America affiliate ran ads promoting Ducks Unlimited (or deer hunting), with money from Busch, I'd be tickled to death they got the ad money. They aren't doing all that well - seems like somehow the advertising cash comes from - gasp - businesses - and many of them are operated by - double gasp - conservatives. But conservatives money is still green.
