Ron Paul in Philadelphia: Reason Online

[Mandrik]

The march he is referring to. The idiot girl he was referring to is also at the end of my video (the loud mouth).

The author leads with the guy passing out flyers that say Ron Paul is a racist. It's clearly garbage. And it's been debunked a thousand times. And any article that leads with it, no matter how positive the rest, is a hit piece. The writer and his editors know that nobody reads more than a few paragraphs before deciding to read the rest. And they will mostly walk away with the nasty perception of racism.

Reason and Cato have gone in the tank. Both seem to have some other agenda than freedom, and I'd like to take every one of their esteemed editors and writers, who have been scavenging a living off of libertarian free market types for decades, and make them eat their own man bits. And if I ever see them in person . . . . . .

Aren't we going to the rallies of other candidates? Aren't ya'll being hypocritical against the guy passing out anti-ron lit?

No, we don't spread lies, we only hold Ron Paul banners. Big difference

They-are-afraid.

They fear us.

Understand this above all else:

Deep in their dastardly souls, theY FEAR the Doctor. And they fear what he stands for.

Well, may I be one of many to say it is rather to nice to throw a bit of their own fear mongering back in their faces.

What a wonderful article. My favorite part was:

After the speech, as Paul headed around the stage, you could see the laissez faire structure of the campaign and the devotion of his supporters working in harmony. The stage on the Mall had been cordoned off by a few moveable fences that didn't even go all the way around. Journalists and partisans alike had been making their way in and out during the whole affair. Once the crowd saw where Paul went, they surged behind the stage to meet a few overtaxed campaign staffers beseeching them to be quiet: The candidate was doing a live interview with CNN. Miraculously, they listened. Occasionally some supporter would catch sign of the congressman bobbing his head or adjusting his earpiece and shout "Ron Paul!" or "President Paul!" and a chorus would tell him to shush. For eight minutes, hundreds of people remained silent as their candidate basked in free media.

I was in attendance at the West Alabama straw poll. The first sentence describing the "laissez faire" structure of the campaign is SO true. Everyone just fell into place with very few orders or instructions. It is a testament to what a truly free society is capable of doing. We weren't required by law to be there, we didn't require hand holding and pugnaciously authoritarian instructions in order to assemble and organize in performing our voluntary duty.

Isn't that banner trying to spread our ideas? The reasoning that you believe they're spreading lies doesn't change the fact that they're trying to spread their ideas. We try to spread our ideas and they're trying to spread theirs. They believe we spread lies and we believe they spread lies, but it doesn't change the fact that we're doing the same thing.
