Unfortunately I don't think so, but this for sure is a good feature to use.
Your best bet is to use Firefox and get a keyword filter plug-in (free downloads) then you get it for every website.
For all - Turn the other cheek for Ron Paul

So Bryan, I did not know you were from Houston too. I have not seen any signs around Houston or bumper stickers or anything about Ron Paul, except for me. Since you're in the know, where is all the Ron Paul action? Have you seen anything activity wise?

The first money bomb wasn't related to "Guy Fawkes" (not faux), it was related to Guy Fawkes day. Its a British celebration, not of a terrorist, but of a terrorist plot FOILED. The British light off fireworks to celebrate the day.
The original poem goes:
Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.
Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah hoorah!
I think revo9's argument about asking people to behave in a certain way equals endorsing collectivism, fails to acknowledge that elections are a collectivist effort: only the majority wins. Wake up.
Ron Paul's message of individual liberty is powerful, but right now I want him as President, so we (yes, we, as in a group) have to submit and follow through with the painstaking process of getting him elected by influencing other people's opinions. Do you think Ron Paul actually enjoys this country's inane process of election?
The original poster gave his opinion that we are more successful influencing others by being polite. Telling people what to do is not tyranny. Tyranny is forcing them to comply. If you believe in freedom, then people are also free to tell others what to do, freedom of speech. I happen to agree with him that politeness goes a long way, it's far more effective than having a short temper and being rude. I'd expect a 50 year old man to have figured that out already.

I am in total agreement - we all need to be on our best behavior, not because we want to conform, not because we're not excited, but because we want to project a welcome atmosphere to all new visitors.
Remember, Freedom of Speech lets us say anything we want, but when you say something that is difficult for the other party to hear, there's a chance they will turn away just from that difficulty. Sometimes you need to say those things, such as stating that the Patriot Act and the MCA have taken away our liberties. Other times you DO NOT need to say them.
If you keep your communications a little more on the professional level, make them easy for people to accept, people will gradually, inevitably, come over to our side. You don't need to rant and rave about how much a lunatic anyone is. After a while it will become clear. Another point - you may not be able to change their mind about the other candidate, so just state Ron's positions, and try to get them to change their mind about OUR candidate.
Finally, notice that Ron uses sanity and reason to deflect attacks and to expose the inherent flaws in his opponents. He rarely gets angry, and then only for good reason. Let's all try to emulate him, ok? Remember, above all the goal is to show that Ron Paul is the right man to be President, not that some other guy is the wrong one!
