Regarding the Paul supporters on the ferry ride, why is it there is only one version of the story I have seen online which includes Rudy getting threatened, and its told by this Ed Wyszynski guy (and who does he support by the way? great 'news work' here First Read), and THIS one version is the version reported on here? Every other article I have seen on the incident describes the Paul supporters as being quite loud, but never threatening, and Rudy went and hid somewhere in the boat. Where are all his supporters to defend him by the way??

Yes, Ron Paul supporters are giving the campaign a headache, a $320,000 headache of online donations since yesterday alone, and they've already announced they'll raise more money this quarter than the 2.5 million from last quarter.
We beat Guliani at this straw poll, and Dr Paul wasn't even there! We've beat Rudy at 22 other straw polls. Where is all this support Guiliani supposedly has from telephone polls? These mystery supporters sure aren't showing up anywhere for their candidate.

Ed Wyszynski is a Romney supporter, if this happened, why was no one arrested for threatening Rudy? Why is there only one source for this supposed 'disgrace'?
Every video of the event I've seen show nothing about 911 taunts, just a bunch of enthusiastic people chanting 'Ron Paul'. Where were all the people chanting Rudy's name?

What the hell, Rudi, it's out in the open now. Maybe you can raffle off 9/11 memorabilia for fundraising purposes - partially melted non-functioning radios recovered from the WTC site, framed facsimiles of your statement suggesting that the 2001 mayoral election be delayed, Ann Coulter hugging a 9/11 family member, ...the possibilities are endless.

So it's "over the line" to boo Rudy Giuliani and chant the name of your candidate when Rudy skulks and hides in a boat cabin?

Given the way Rudy Giuliani treats Ron Paul and his supporters, he doesn't deserve courtesy or respect in return.

I suppose I should have expected that Rudy's press stooges would spin his cowardice, and his lack of competing supporters on the ferry, into something nefarious. Rudy got on a boat with 100+ Republican voters, and hid from them because they cheered another candidate's name. When he's not surrounded by his own people and cops, "Captain 9/11" puts on one of his skirts and whimpers like a little girl.

And focusing the story on the ONE guy yelling statements about 9/11 reveals your atrocious bias. Five minutes of searching on YouTube would find you both local news video and amateur news video of the incident, which shows a bunch of people chanting "Ron Paul, Ron Paul" and ONE guy yelling about truth and the light of day. Doing that would have interfered with your "protect Rudy" narrative, though, so I guess we can't expect you to do it.

Good Grief, I was there on the Ferry, there were maybe 5 out of 200 people that said anything about 9/11. No one at any time threatened to throw Rudy overboard. The majority of the rhetoric was just chants of Ron Paul with a few good natured questions on whether or not Rudy had completed his homework yet.

Most of the people were laughing and chuckling about how Rudy scurried up the line head down and refusing to make eye contact with anyone. Real brave Rudy. They put him on the boat first and he immediately hid himself in the Pilot House and his staff and security detail stood guard outside the door.

A real Man and real Politician would have used the opportunity to walk around and glad hand everyone and try to turn some support to himself. But I guess meeting real people outside of a controlled photo op was just to much for Rudy to handle.

Rudy showed all of us his true colors on Friday night, if he can not deal with a small group of people how in the world does he think he can handle our Nation.

To all the Ron Paul supporters:

The same alleged media embellishment (I haven't seen the video, heard the stories, or know anything about this incident) occurred 8 years ago when McCain "lashed out at reporters" or Howard Dean's scream.

I find it interesting that the focus is on the Ron Paul supporters, as they are more interesting than his actual campaign. I know a few libertarians, and they are very passionate, intelligent people.

The joke here really is on Rudy G. "said the Paul supporters threatened to throw Giuliani overboard and harassed him as he took shelter in the ferry's pilothouse for the 15-minute journey." If he were truly a man (with the ability to swim), he would have stood his ground. The worst that happens: the Paul supporters through him over, and he is free to hit his opponent from a defensive position (good), make the statement at what our nation is coming to (good), and talk about how he cleaned up New York criminal behavior (also good). Instead the great 9-11 hero coward, how rich.

As to the $9.11 fundraiser. His mistake was distancing himself. By doing so, he acknowledged that the shameless profiting from 9-11 was wrong. A better tactic would have been to distance himself from the fundraising group, by stating that it wasn't a Giuliani-initiated fundraiser and that he personally wouldn't do such a tasteless ploy (obviously, I would word it with a better spin if I were him). Yet, 9-11 is still very fresh and important in the minds of Americans, as seen here, and that repubs can provide better national security than the demos.

If he hasn't already, he should re-shuffle his campaign staff, because they clearly fail.

I question this Ed Wyszynski fellow. I have seen the videos on Youtube of the "Rudy on ferry" incident, and read the first hand accounts that were out before this Ed Wyszynski based BS. The original accounts have it that Rudy and his mafiosi posse muscled their way to front of the line waiting to board the ferry. The majority of what went on from there was the "Ron Paul!" chanting sort of thing. I have read where some say that they threatened to throw Rudy overboard. While I love the visual,the first hand accounts, and the videos show no proof of these claims.

Looks to me like a certain supporter-less candidate is trying like hell to get some press from what was an embarrassing ferry ride. Maybe next time Rudy and posse will pay more attention to who they're cutting in front of. Can anyone say "blow-back"?

Ron Paul people did not 'confront and intimidate'. Rudy walked up the ferry dock (outside the normal line), went right to the front of the line, where he waited for a few minutes (maybe 10 minutes - long enough for a few folks to get some pictures taken with him). I even grabbed my kids and RESPECTFULLY went up to him and asked him a questions about border security.

Note: The next day, Mitt Romney and Co. waited in line, just like the rest of us Americans. I'm voting for Paul, but at least Mitt had the manners to wait in line. (see http://9and10news.com/category/story/?id=122506 for coverage on both the ferry ride, and Mitt's Manners).

Rudy was taken, without incident, before anyone else could board, and put on the boat up in the pilot's house, behind closed doors and windows. He had 2 or 3 security people with him, and I believe there were also a few police on the boat too, not mention the above newscaster from 9 and 10 News, from Traverse City, Michigan. Why don't you, the MSM, call some 'non-biased' eye witnesses - you know there were more than just one person on the boat.

The atmosphere on the boat (with the exception of two comments that I can recall) was akin to being at a WINNING college football game. You must keep in mind that we all just finished having dinner and a special visit by THE true front-runner in this race, Ron Paul, and were feeling quite PAULitical. I was on the upper deck (in pitch blackness) as we crossed the Straits of Mackinac. There were cheers (not chants) of "Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul"...sort of like 'Go Blue, Go Blue, Go Blue". There were a few isolated shouts of, "Where's the gold Rudy?" Big deal. What, people are not allowed to express their opinions any more? Simply because Ron Paul doesn't agree with that position, that 9-11 was an inside job, doesn't mean that others are not allowed to think that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA41dQwvO1c - this is the video shot by my camera - dark but shows the disembarking of passengers and cheering for Paul.

There were NO official campaign people on board - just people who attended the event. Rudy Giluliani, Fox News, and much of the mainstream media has misrepresented Dr. Paul, his supporters, throughout this entire campaign. We shouldn't have to walk on egg shells (although I'm all for, 100%, being polite, and reasonable). Rudy can snicker and lie, the MSM can mis-report on Dr. Paul, and America is waking up to it. Don't kid yourself...Americans are busy, in debt, frustrated with lying politicians, taxes, un-necessary wars, but we are not STUPID.

Just check out the comments on any Dr. Paul article to get a feel for the real sentiment of the people. Just ask any of the other 100 people on that boat that night what they thought went down. I think that maybe even Rudy had fun! Ruuuuuuuuudy - did you read the 9/11 Report yet that Dr. Paul assigned you last summer?

Mitt Romney stood in line with all the other people the next day. Rudy cut in front. That's what we, the American people, are to expect from our elected officials? To cut in front? Let's put a man in the White House who has respect for us, the people of America. Dr. Ron Paul is that man!

Maybe we should all just call up Ed W. and ask him why he thought it was so horrible that people root for their candidate? I never heard anyone suggesting they throw Rudy overboard from the video clips, but i wasn't there.

Some of these posters were on the ferry so perhaps they will call this man Ed W. for me and ask him politely what the heck he heard/saw and why he is supporting Rudy's (Chuckles) bad behaviour?

Shouldnt he be more afraid of Rudy than Ron since he is a Romney Supporter? Ron Paul can't win, right?

Please be polite if you are going to call as I am not sure this is the same Ed Wyszynski as the article - but how many Ed Wyszynski's live in Eagle MI?

This is from a simple google search on the man - I will try to call after work...

Ed Wyszynski (517) 626-6319 13657 Hawaii Ave, Eagle, MI

Let's get out and promote RP in the real world.. .my mom never uses the internet so she didn't know who Ron Paul was.. When I sent her some facts on the man, she donated $100 - She only donated to AU-H2O's campaign.

It never happened. Check out the YouTube video. Nothing like that on there. Do you trust a Romney activist or a camcorder?

It was 100 in the year 2000.

Ron Paul has been vocal about this horrible inflation since at least 1983:

You are being paid in an inflating currency. Please think about how that impacts you.

Giuliani is simply the wrong thing for the USA. He is a gun grabbing autocrat.

Funny the latest poll shows 2/3 of Americans think the government was either involved or had warnings of an attack on the WTC.
Guess Ron Paul supporters are in line with most Americans.

I wonder where a lot of Rudy's donations come from?

A major reason Ron Paul depends on citizen donations, lack of corporate funding. :)
