    The Blimp Who Stole Christmas

    Ron Paul supporters, sometimes referred to as Paulites or, less endearingly, Paultards, are known for their prolific blog comments. (Conservative blog RedState practically ignited the aPaulcalypse by banning them from its boards.) Here’s one comment about the Ron Paul blimp spotted on the Daily Paul:

    I pledged... we are SO close.... WE (grassroots) make IMPOSSIBLE things happen.... talk about bypassing the media blackout!!!!!

    I'm in for the Teaparty as well.

    I explained to my family..... that THIS Christmas is NOT about presents under the tree (well maybe a few!).

    This Christmas ............is about taking back our Country and watching/laughing at the media trying to ignore the elephant in the room! [Emphasis added]

    So this person gave to the Ron Paul blimp instead of his own children. First they want to abolish the postal service ... now Christmas???
