[thewhammy]

Good point. The anti-Paul "Bury Brigade" is out in full force.

There's another interesting article following up on that Capitol Hill Blue scandal. It's up on digg now, and I'm sure the Bury Brigade won't like it.

The site has been pro-Paul in that it ripped CHB for its conduct.

[blazin_it_alwyz]

Here is another story that the ron paul bury brigade have gotten to. It's on the front page, but people keep lying in the comment section, making comments like "Ron Paul only wants tax breaks for rich people" and other inane comments like that, and those comments are getting dugg up.

[blazin_it_alwyz]

Here is another one


http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Papers_Please_Arrested_At_Circuit_City

This one is outrageous, if you go to the comment section.

 

[inibo]

It's like an utter battle over there. Anyways, this is the most current story on Digg

http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Tucker_Ron_Paul_to_emerge_as_folk_hero_of_this_election_video

And the Ron Paul crew is doing battle over there in the comment section, including me "p0tent1al", so feel free to drop some knowledge there. I might keep updating this thread with every new Ron Paul Digg submission, so we'll see.

"xrayecho" is doing his part.

 

[Trassin]

Awesome. It makes me want to go shopping at Best Buy just to see what happens. I should probably review Illinois law first though.

 

[blazin_it_alwyz]

wow....... just wow....

http://digg.com/political_opinion/Republicans_in_bad_shape_as_youth_desert_the_party

the amount of Ron Paul bashing going on in the comment section is unbelievable. The worst part about is, people keep saying stuff like Ron Paul is for regulation of the internet, and he is Anti-Gay, and other bullshit like that, and they are getting dugg up.

 

[blazin_it_alwyz]

Alright, we got another one here, I haven't gone through the comments yet, but I'm about to.

http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Surrender_Should_NOT_be_an_Option_by_Ron_Paul

Just a reminder, I'm only posting stories that have front paged, I'm not going to be posting anything else.

 

[ghemminger]

Blazin...have you considered another pic - the one you got up is pretty intimidating...

 

[cjhowe]

Imagine that...blowback? Ron Paul certainly needs more name recognition, but I'm afraid digg.com may be saturated. I'd encourage everyone to bone up on _why Dr. Paul wants to do the things he's saying, throw on a Ron Paul T-shirt and go to the grocery store. You'll introduce many more real people to Ron Paul than you would have otherwise.

 

[blazin_it_alwyz]

If it wasn't for digg, along with youtube, most people wouldn't even know who Ron Paul IS. Most of the young people Ron Paul talks about, know about him through Digg.

Because seriously, MSM doesn't talk about him, that's the only really big website that your going to hear his name on, so I think it's a issue to make sure that I (or we) don't let comments like "Ron Paul is Anti-Gay and only wants tax breaks for the rich" type comments to go uncontested. I know a couple of people started saying that Ron Paul is against Network Neutrality, and ignorance spreads, and some people ACTUALLY BELIEVE that he is for regulation of the internet, when it is the opposite way around.

Different strokes for different folks, but Digg is a younger community, most of which you wouldn't catch voting otherwise, so to grab that audience, is to grab a large portion who wouldn't vote otherwise, and to grab Digg, is basically to grab a large portion of the internet. Don't get me wrong though, I don't spend hours and hours, I just respond to people with ignorant comments.

But that doesn't mean I won't get out and wear my t-shirt and spread the word too

Also, some people are not cut out for wearing a t-shirt and going out and answering questions. You really need to be well-presentable and nice, and pretty much be able to respond to the most avid anti-ron paul supporter. Unless you can answer the tough questions like explaining why a free market is better than what we have now, or explaining to a group of women why Ron Paul is pro-life, your better off spreading the word another way.

Also, I'm working on a site with someone from this forum, so I'm definitely trying to do my part.

 

[blazin_it_alwyz]

Blazin...have you considered another pic - the one you got up is pretty intimidating...

lol, intimidating? I think it looks strong

Like in some pics of Ron Paul, you have smiling Ron Paul, and Ron Paul with kids in his lap

And then you have the more serious Ron Paul, the Ron Paul who is sick and tired of the way things are going on, and you can see it. I thought it was more along the lines of that.

If I can find a better picture, I will put it there, but that is the best pic I have for now. Maybe in the future I will put a nice one, with effects and stuff

 

[blazin_it_alwyz]

Ok, I'm back updating this thread. Mods, if you happen to see this, if you could change the topic to, without quotes, "Ron Paul Coverage on Digg", that would be great.

 

[Michael Ingram]

great list
