A response from Frank Luntz. PLEASE take note

[ddoggphx]

Look, I have done my share of the "FU Frank"s and had some fun in it, but it has to stop. Not just because of this response, but because it just has to. I don't expect a lot to change in the MSM, but I will expect my behavior to change.

.....flame away...

I too sent him an email and he responded as well:

Please speak up on the ron paul blogs and tell people they will win more support with positive effort than by tearing people down. You need to speak up.

He is right, despite some of your righteous indignation. It is okay to be angry, pissed, and active. But carry yourself with respect and respect other people as well. The Golden Rule should carry the day. I don't want to lose one more vote because of an unfavorable perception of a Ron Paul supporter.

Ron Paul and his message are what people should be voting for....that's the focus. Not our anger or passion. HIS anger and passion and IDEAS for change. That's what is important.

If we don't get our shit in check, and fast, we will derail the Doctor's campaign quicker than we can raise a million dollars.

Really this should apply to our dealings with everyone, not just Frank Luntz.

Most politics seem to be about mind games though. People don't seem to even care about the issues it seems, they just want a guy they "like". I don't disagree with you but what harm can come from being nice to the guy?

He has the characteristics of a sociopath. it would be best to divorce one's self from all contact with these types of individuals.

 

[morerocklesstalk]

Possible, but I don't think so. He does twist facts professionaly, but I think he might actualy be alright in person. Besides, what can being more civil hurt?

Agreed.

He basically set up the dominos for the Fred Thompson won the SC debate result that followed and created the mirage that Dr. Paul lost. The funny thing is that when asked about whether RP should of been included in the debate everyone raised their hands.

Civility and kindness certainly can not hurt.

Frank is all about mind games and persuasion/borderline brainwashing.

Do not believe a single word this man has to say. He is a monomaniac.

He is offering a glimmer of hope to draw you into his web. He doesn't deserve any attention, kind or brutal.

I don't trust Frank Luntz, or any other MSM outlet. BUT, we should be treating ALL people with respect.

Just because I disagree with Frank Luntz philosophically, and politically, doesn't mean I should DIS-Respect him.

Do you think it is wise to piss off the crazy people? You gotta be nice to the crazy people or they eat your tongue.

 

[angelatc]

Thanks, this is my point in the other thread. If we are civil with him, we will get more fair coverage, and probably some respect as well. Good job.

I am sorry, but they snicker and giggle when our candidate speaks. They call him nuts and accuse him of wearing tinfoil hats.

We should vow civility only when they begin to act professionally. (LIke that's gonna happen!)

You guys are playing with fire. Did you see the slogan his company has? "It's not what you say, it's what they hear."

He's setting you guys up for his next segment.

I give respect to those who give back, i give bullshit to those who give bullshit. Fox has given the public nothing but BULLSHIT!

I would be more worried about the feeble minded people in the focus that he can play like a fiddle. He holds the key to our perception and most Republicans will follow that, sadly.

Get a grip.

Why doesn't Ron Paul lash out on stage when others laugh at him? Because he is a man of dignity and respect, and that's what I love so much about him.

There is NO NEED to disrespect people, and to be rude and violent. I'm not saying Ron Paul supporters are rude and violent, but, in no situation should one representing Ron Paul act in that fashion.

 

[ckhagen]

I should email him. My parents have met him in DC at a friends congressional office. They really liked him and thought he was a great guy, but his constant belittling of Ron Paul has really shocked them.

 

[Meiun]

Boy... wow... Knowing what we KNOW to be true about this guy and how he makes his money you want us to COW TOW to him and pet his ego???

He'll get no respect, no thanks, and congrats from me whatsoever. I'll just refrain until the campaign is over, but after that... oooh... gloves off, pal.

 

[Cowlesy]

Once again I think the bell-curve applies here to our supporters and this Frank Luntz stuff.

10% support Ron Paul and have no clue who he is, probably 80% of us know who he is, dislike his work but absolutely disagree with treating him poorly or threatening him, and then the final 10% at the other end calling for War against the guy.

I'm in the 80%. Frank Luntz wakes up in the morning and puts his pants on like everybody else, slogs through the workweek and probably has the same issues we all do. Demonizing him like he's in some ivory tower of MSM control calling the shots is stupid --- he's good at getting people to say what people pay him to get those people say -- it's just how the guy earn's his living.

Look, we are smarter than the other candidates' supporters. We spend more time researching issues and can practically defend any of Ron's points. We can play the psy-op game too, you know. How do you get people to cheerlead for your guy? When you make them feel like they're right about things, and get them to believe that they're actually aligned with Ron---it's really not that hard!

Ron would not wage war or threaten Frank Luntz, nor would he completely ignore the fact he exists.

I know it is so very, very overplayed...but, You will catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar.

That's all I'm asking!

Yep.

No flames. We represent Ron Paul. Do you think he doesn't get mad as hell at our soldiers being slaughtered, our economy crumbling, special interests dictating to officials who are supposed to represent "the people" and yet he remains a gentleman. In the debates they hit him with cheap shots, slanted questions and they mock him and he still remains a gentleman. We need to try to reflect Ron Paul in our actions. We are the "fruits" that America sees of the "tree" that is Ron Paul and the Liberty/Constitutionalist platform and we had better take that representative position seriously or no one will take what we stand for seriously.

He saw what happened to Hannity and flew the white flag. We'll keep our eye on him.
