Challenge: Can RPF forums keep Chris Hightower Draft page with more friends than Dem opp.

Bump. We have Ron vs. Obama right here in Ky.

Chris posted "His influences" today:

Doesn't Hightower have some, oh I don't know, political baggage?

Any info? Googled his name and found a blog talking bad about him. Seems he was a spokesman for Rand Paul in KY. The Blog is anti-Paul anti-Ron Paul though. calling us crazy, kooky and paulbots etc.

Hightower was forced to resign from Rand Paul's Senate campaign in December of 2009 after his MySpace page was uncovered. The page contained an image posted by someone other than Hightower, of a lynched black man hanging from a tree, that Hightower weirdly decided not to delete. It also had some other stuff that was lame, but the media could make a big deal of ("KKK shirt.")

For me the page was not a big deal, rather the neglect was. Hightower had a period of three-fourths of a year (April 2009 to December 2009) in which he was working for Paul's campaign and needed to clean up his internet presence, and chose not to. The Hitler video controversy that involved Hightower a month before the MySpace thing should have been enough of a tip-off that there were liberal bloggers gunning for him and stalking him on the internet, but inexplicably that MySpace page remained available to the public even after all that.

The "scandal" itself shouldn't bother anyone here, but the fact that Hightower almost derailed a surging campaign for a Liberty Candidate with such carelessness should.

No, what should bother people is that David Adams is the one who fed it to Liberal bloggers.

Hightower has worked behind the scenes and without giving too much away from his home was able to uncover major opp research on Trey Grayson and Jack Conway. Here is something I haven't said yet. One of the people who "reported it" has told me he should get back in since the incident was minor at best. Some of you were too far away to know but he was even at the Victory Party for the Primary and the General. Not like he was shunned. The KKK shirt was from a band who opposes racism.

Although, a friend posting on myspace is no worse than say.... oh I don't know, newsletters?

Napalm Death, antiwar shirt at that.

So, it's BS.
 
I've chatted up some people. Chris will have liberal and Conservative support. The thing is most people realize how stupid the story is in hindsight.

The shirt thing was stupid, especially since it came from an anti-racist group. The whole phony "scandal" was stupid, but it contained the right buzz words ("racist", "KKK", "Satanist") that people simply tune out after they hear those words. Payne and Sonka are idiots, we all know this.

The difference is, no one can prove one way or another if Ron Paul himself read those newsletters. Hightower saw an image of a murdered black man, posted on Martin Luther King, Jr. day under the caption "happy ni**er day!", and left it at the top of the comments section on a page under his name for almost two years, on an account people can see he logged into after the date in which the picture was put there. That was just a dumb mistake for someone in politics, agreed?

Ron had his name on the newsletters. They went out in his name. You are holding Chris to a higher standard than Ron. I had a myspace account and people said wild shit. I don't read everything my friends post. Although, maybe Hightower wrote the newsletters?

Sonka is dumb, Jake is not. Jake even said in one of his posts that he would love to interview and chat with Chris because his videos were well thought out.
 
Again, the guy he's running against in general is a county prosecutor who's had DUIs.

The GOPer is a big government GOPer who's not liked. We could get him elected.
 
everyone f***ing do this ... they saw chris coming out the gate and tried to take him out thats how hardcore for liberty and potentially effective they saw him as
