This kind of crap leads me to believe that there will be no peaceful revolution.

Learn to laugh at them. Seriously.
Hard to laugh when they are working you over in the back room of a club for doing nothing but having a ron paul bumper sticker.

Getting agitated and froggy about it will inevitably play into their hands, justifying their laughable "profile" of RP supporters/constitutionalists as being dangerous wackos.
Be aware, yes. Be concerned, yes. But don't let this bait you into a fight you can't win.
Just saying.
So far all I've seen is:
- Yes, the number is indeed valid. No surprise there.
- Somebody answered the phone. No surprise there.
- The person who answered the phone was aware of this memo circulating. No surprise there.
What I have NOT seen is:
- The organization confirms that this document came from them (so far all we have is "The woman who answered said she was aware that a memo was put out implicating Ron Paul and Bob Barr supporters" .. but who put it out?).
- The organization stands behind the document
or
- The organization has apologized.
Until they confirm that it came from them and either apologize or stand behind it then it's premature to get worked up about it.
I still lean towards the hoax side on this one.. I might be wrong, but it would take me maybe an hour at the most to gather up the images and create a PDF exactly like this. It's not rocket science. An hour to create something that would cause mayhem amongst the Paul supporters?... I know of at least two groups online that would do this just to watch the Paul supporters get upset.
I'm not even sure where to start when it comes to helping Average Joe understand how frightening this really is. I mean, most people will probably understand the point that singling out supporters of certain politicians (e.g. Ron Paul) is anathema to a democratic republic, but they may make an "exception" if they take the contents of the memo at face value. After all, many Ron Paul supporters really are concerned by every single one of the issues brought up in the memo, and every single one of us is probably concerned about at least some of them...plus, it would be easy to find out-of-context quotes on these very forums demonstrating an "anti-cop" attitude (including this very post).Getting agitated and froggy about it will inevitably play into their hands, justifying their laughable "profile" of RP supporters/constitutionalists as being dangerous wackos.

Beware of new members with sudden interest, forum shifters, just sayin'.

And then this.
Yup, trolls have been outed and banned.![]()
I don't think I am understanding you. So, let me see if I have this right; your advice is to play dead and act like this is not something to be concerned about?
Are you one of those people who thinks you cannot fight city hall?

I hope I'm just taking it the wrong way, because I'm really not liking his attitude. It's like he's some bully saying he has no issue treating/mistreating you with prejudice...and if you feel threatened, that's your problem, not his.To the OP. What you reference is a non-classified document published by the Missouri Highway Patrol. You can read it as well as I can. If you feel threatened, I respectfully submit, that's your problem.
Excuse me, but what would it take to make respecting our rights your problem, Mr. Officer?
It's pretty telling that he doesn't seem to give a damn about you or your rights...despite the fact that the sole purpose of his job is supposed to be to protect and serve you and your rights.The crap you post amazes me. Trolls are still on this thread. Join merge, divert.

So what was the "+1 " to the lame misleading post for then?
