Born Feb 4th.... She is one of Dr Paul's Hero's and defines what RP has always preached. Yes / No ?

Or Martin Luther King born Jan 15th

These are the types of videos that will squash everything in its tracks...

 

[mstrmac1]

Bump?

I LOVE that video! January 15th would work. That's what we did in the 2008 campaign. February 4th is too far away. The campaign needs money before then.

I think we need to lump more people into this moneybomb... Calling it "civil disobediance MB" Rosa Parks, Ghandi, MLK, etc... that way its a broad spectrum for video's....?

I don't like the idea only because the MSM will spin this into:

"Now Ron Paul is having an MLK Day Moneybomb. He's trying to win favorability with minority voters in light of his racist newsletter controversy."

You guys know they'll spin the hell out of this.



I may not like the idea, but that does not mean I won't donate money to the campaign for this moneybomb if it takes place

I'm past the point of giving a **** about what the MSM cares, thinks, or spins. I'm in, Rosa Parks IS someone this nation should adore! She's an American icon, and her stance on freedom and liberty should be promoted.

***That's not pointed at your quote Blue, I'm just so mad at the system and how it works.

As someone who lives in the South and has gone to school and college with black folks and worked with black folks and has black neighbors and friends, I can tell you that this is not a good idea. Black folks don't want to be pandered to.

There is a race industry out there that uses political correctness to make huge profits, and the robber barons of that industry are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Doing things that you think would appease those two, like having an MLK money bomb, will only backfire.

The reason: JJ and AS aren't interested in reason or logic, they are interested in profiting off of political correctness and manipulation. They will not accept the gesture as anything good. In fact, they will spin it as a backhanded racist insult to have an MLK money bomb.

Meanwhile, your average, every day black person will just see it as pandering to them, and won't respect it either.

Just my opinion.

All this will do is add fuel to the fire.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

LOL how many times does a guy have to be right in retrospect before he finally gets listened to in the 1st place?

 

[TheDriver]

No need to pander with themed money bombs.

 

[brandon]

No. It's just obvious pandering and MLK was a socialist.

Here is how they will spin the Rosa Parks issue:

"Ron Paul voted against Congress giving her the Congressional Gold Medal."

It will have to be countered with:

His suggestion was that Congress pay for the medal through $100 contributions from their own pockets.

Paul Right To Vote Against Rosa Parks Medal

When Congress voted to give Rosa Parks the Congressional Gold Medal, there was only one voice of dissent. Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) has voted against giving the Congressional Gold Medal to Rosa Parks, Mother Theresa and the Pope. Many people, given only this snippet of information have concluded that Congressman Paul is a bigot, a racist and just plain intolerant. Yet he raises an interesting additional argument.
The Congressional Gold Medal is made of solid gold, and in every instance it is awarded, it can cost taxpayers upwards of $30,000. This money not only pays for the gold to make the medal, but also the mold that needs to be specially created since each medal is tailored to its recipient. Congressman Paul voted against awarding this medal over and over because he does not think it is a good use of taxpayer dollars.
However, Paul has not just voted against spending taxpayer money for the medal - he has proposed a workable alternative. Instead of shelling out $30,000 of taxpayers' money, Paul proposed that each member of Congress ought to pay $100 out of his or her own pocket. This way, the money for the medal would be raised and each member of Congress would be contributing to the cause that he or she values so much. He also stressed his respect for Parks, saying that she was a courageous woman who committed herself to the cause of freedom and against an overbearing government that is unanswerable to the people it serves. Spending $30,000 of taxpayer money on frivolous medals, Paul believes, is an act of an overbearing government that is not in touch with its people.
Besides Parks and the other aforementioned medal recipients, Paul has also voted against Congressional Gold Medals given to Tony Blair, Ronald Reagan and the Dalai Lama. In the case of Tony Blair, Paul said that spending $30,000 to award "the most unpopular man in Great Britain" with a Congressional medal violated the sanctity of the medal itself in addition to robbing taxpayers. Paul also lamented the "supreme irony" of awarding a Buddhist leader with such a costly material gift when Buddhism eschews worldly possessions in favor of spiritual wealth.
Congressman Paul has a sign on his desk that reads, "Don't steal, the government hates competition," and has said numerous times that "it is easy to be generous with someone else's money." In this assertion, he is absolutely correct. Every member of Congress who votes in favor of the awarding the Congressional Gold Medal ought to contribute enough money to raise the funds for the medal, since the implied powers of Congress don't include robbing the American people to pay for feel-good political gestures.

Overall, my humble opinion is this is pandering and to a group rather than respecting individuals and does not really follow the liberty philosophy. Remember collectivism vs. individualism is what we are up against.

I agree that it is pandering. Our M-L-K money bomb was not a great success either as I recall.

lets not pander. It makes us seem pathetic.

Besides, Parks and King were noth Communist agitators. We have people like them to thank for pressuring the Federal guv into creating the multi trillion dollar Great Society/ Welfare state.

The "civil rights" movement wasn't just about "bus seating"

 

[airborne373]

MLK fought for Civil Liberties for all individuals. The first 10 Amendments of The Constitution are Civil Rights and no one alive represents that more than Dr. Ron Paul. Which is why the bought and paid for presstitutes hate them both. I like the MLK MoneyBomb.

BS

MLK was a MARXIST and a vicious political hatchet man.

He called the Ron Paul of his day (Barry Goldwater) a "Nazi"

 

[neverseen]

Don't call it MLK or rosa parks anything. It's pandering to blacks. Call it "Civil Liberties Bomb" and include all "grouped" minorities, raw milk, etc and hold it the Fri-Mon after the NH primary.
