At a quick glance, it doesn't look like a positive piece for Paul. You may have some RP supporters burying it if they're not being careful. But I'll go ahead and Digg it.

Also many diggers want the amount of RP stories to lighten out some.

Please explain "digging" to me. This is a question that I have been afraid to ask for fear of looking "stupid". But I know that I'm not stupid. I'm just like everyone else in that I don't know anything until I learn it.
I want to Digg it.

Don't do it man.... digg is addicting. You basically can post/read articles on the site. these can be anything really: pictures, video's, blogs, about just about any subject. After you read a article you can "digg" or "bury" it. you also can comment on the posts, in turn you can "digg" and "bury" the comments.

so use at your own risk: www.digg.com

I thought this article was good on a whole. Hacks are probably getting paid to annoy Diggers with an ungodly amount of Ron Paul stories. Seems we got em' scared enough to fight us. Stick up your dukes. Lets get ready to rumble....

Thanks for the support. It's unfortunate, but it appears to me that after an initial surge, the vast majority of Ron Paul related material on digg doesn't get a fair shake at all and ends up being buried without most people even reading it. Perhaps folks will take a closer look in the future and actually check things out before going along with the herd mentality... or perhaps we'll simply grow in numbers to a size that can't be ignored or steamrolled over by a small group of anti-paul people using questionable tactics.

For those wondering what digg is, it's a site where users themselves submit content, usually sites or articles and then users decide if they like them (digg them) or don't (bury them). News via democracy (sort of). The url is here. While it's one of the most popular of such sites, it's hardly the only one doing such a thing. There are hundreds of them, though many are topic specific and not politics friendly. Some of them are these: shoutwire, netscape, newsvine, buzzflash, and here's one dedicated to Ron Paul articles which could probably use some support... Fresh Ron Paul.
