Site policies on Trump support

No....

First time I've seen that one with the woman. That was as chicken shit as it gets. I hope he spent a long time in jail. Don't really care about Hannity being chased down the street.

These people are the problem. Not those who choose to discuss the positive aspects of a Trump candidacy.

No, the people who cut out a thousand words of reasoned discourse to focus on one closing, punchy little sentence, and use that as an excuse to repeat the same old spam are the problem.

That's kind of the whole message of this whole thread, my little propagandist.

if it makes you feel any better, pretend we're modelling it on a trump pep rally.

Hw many neg reps do I have to hand out before I can +rep you again? I keep forgetting to count.

Oh please, the level of self-importance some of you have is ridiculous. The peak of all of this was in 2012, and even then Ron barely registered outside a brief rise in Iowa amongst an incredibly weak field. After Ron was gone the bulk of his followers dispersed and lost interest or went elsewhere.

You don't prove I'm wrong by changing the subject. I wasn't talking about votes. I was talking about things that we dragged, kicking and screaming, into the public discourse.

You can sit there and say until you're blue in the face that Trump started all the questioning of Keynesian economics and single handedly introduced the world to the concept of Austrian economics, bud, but since you can't produce one t00b showing Trump mentioning either Keynes or Hayek, no one is going to buy your horseshit.

Oh right, who is "they", and I'd love to see where Rand ever had even a 10th of the support Trump has.

The public conversation is meaningless! It's all in the size of someone's herd! It's all about who has the biggest he-e-e-erd! It's all the size of the HERD! Ba-a-a-a-a!

That was classy, you gonna call me a stoopid head next?

You know the shoe fits. Otherwise you'd realize that Ron Paul doesn't care how many Americans know who Ron Paul is. He's just happy that about a hundred times as many Americans have heard of the Federal Reserve than had eight years ago.

So... This is a Liberty board and trying to convince others to support a candidate that is the opposite of liberty isn't permitted.
Why is that hard to understand?

If this were a Ford truck forum and you had 10 posters spamming how everyone should drive Chevrolet instead, guess what, they'd be told to stop it.
Makes sense to me.

Not trying to be a prick, I just really don't see why this is surprising.

These people are the problem. Not those who choose to discuss the positive aspects of a Trump candidacy.

Almost 75% of us think there is no such thing. The rest are either openly shilling for Trump or supporting those that do and I for one am tired of the same old rebutted points being gone over time and again.

They weren't just chasing him, they were throwing snowballs at him, and if you don't care about that then I don't care about some stupid POS thug protestor who was harassing people at a rally he was not invited to and then got some weak little punch from a 78yr old man. Cry me a river.

But that is all moot at any rate, it just further illustrates your double standards. Dwelling on one incident involving a 78yr old coot who probably couldn't win a fight with Mr. Burns and you blame it on Trump and all his supporters, yet when Rand's supporters curb stomp someone is that your fault? Is it Rand's? Oh no, suddenly we go back to blaming the individual for their actions and not the entire group.

Yeah, especially since you keep getting your ass handed to you in those exchanges. Wondering where you get that 75% from.

Trump will not win or lose the election based on the small handful of people who discuss politics on this forum. It's just a place to exchange ideas,..as are all forums of a political nature.

True. It's a place to exchange ideas roughly in the line of thinking of its namesake, Ron Paul. At this point, Dr. Paul, in his clarity, has voiced his the unworthiness of support of trump on any level.

Kudos to Bryan. Even though Dr. Paul's word might have been good enough for him, he decided to weigh the pros and cons in an open forum. That's difficult to achieve since trump has flip-flopped on nearly every issue imaginable, and continues to as he plays to different audiences.

The fact is, you could go to Democratic Underground or Daily Kos and you could say "See, Donald Trump is for Planned Parenthood. See, Donald Trump believes in restricting gun rights. See, Donald Trump is pro-immigration. See, Donald Trump is a Keynesian. See, Donald Trump doesn't think we should have gone into Iraq. See, Donald Trump supports single payer healthcare." and all those could be supported by quotes and would be exactly as valid as what trump apologists have posted here. But you would still get pushback there because even leftist parasites seem to have the capacity to exhibit more insight and critical thought than what passes for discourse and debate among trumpologists at large.

The guy that put his foot on the women is probably a trump supporter now.
What the Trump supporter's video clip didn't show and was conveniently cut out was that the before she was taken down she physically trying to shove the edge of her sign into Rand's face. She wasn't just standing and chanting, she was trying to assault Rand.

You are comparing something that happened inside an official event with the semi-tacit approval of the principal involved to something that happened out of doors and outside of any fences, in the most unofficial manner possible.

You're also calling the lobbing of a few snowballs a 'curb stomping'.

Yet you deny that you're an obvious and ham-handed propagandist?

You're losing it Hank.

Oh NOOOOooooeeees!!!!

Something that literally every child that ever had snow to play with has done.

March 2016, RPF started reminding me
of Feb 1692 - May 1693 Salem witch trials.

Why not drop all those "offending" posts into
one very deep sub-folder to see if it floats
or sinks?

The authoritarian irony here is sad to see,
"Can't discuss ideas; must ban them!" lol

I was worried that Liberty candidates would
somehow do the impossible and somehow get
into office only to be blamed for the inevitable
crash and burn that many sense is still on its way...

Liberty getting blamed for the past 100 years
of slow decline … would be counter to the mission.

 

[undergroundrr]

To me, the Hannity snowballs were the lowest point of the 2008 and 2012 campaigns. There was nothing admirable or useful about it. If it raises a childish smirk in some people, whatever.

You can't hold this attitude and, in good conscience, delete spam from your email account. You can't hold this attitude and, in good conscience, fast forward through commercials on your TiVo. Even though both are your property.

God do I feel sorry for you. Have fun reading your spam, (mod edit).

I would put that woman being stomped as much worse. However, less people were involved.

I thought so to. And you know what they are probably the very same people that have defected to Trump now.

Didn't change the subject, stop grasping at straws. If by "public discourse" you mean less than 1% of the population then I guess you're correct. Can't say I hear too many conversations around the water cooler about the Federal Reserve.

You can sit there and say until you're blue in the face that Trump started all the questioning of Keynesian economics and single handedly introduced the world to the concept of Austrian economics, bud, but since you can't produce one t00b showing Trump mentioning either Keynes or Hayek, no one is going to buy your horse$#@!.

Please do point out where I ever mentioned Keynesian economics....I'll wait.

Much as above, let's you and I go out in the street and ask the average joe what Keynesian means.

The public conversation is meaningless! It's all in the size of someone's herd! It's all about who has the biggest he-e-e-erd! It's all the size of the HERD! Ba-a-a-a-a!

Once again, you know just how to elevate the conversation. If you are not dealing in size...just what exactly constitutes "the public" to you?

You know the shoe fits.

Straw man.

As Stefan would say "Not an argument".

Oh NOOOOooooeeees!!!!

Cherry picking a quote out of context, very good.

But, let's even go with that, you are still sounding like a retard. Are you really saying you have a right to throw snowballs at people without their permission - because every kid has done it? So since most adults have had sex for fun, I guess by your logic I can force myself on any woman I choose with or without her permission?

I'd also say, a weak ass punch from a 78yr old would probably hurt less than being pelted by numerous snowballs, I believe at one point you even hear a guy proclaim he put rocks in his.

 

[acptulsa]

Straw man.

Make up your mind, (mod edit). Either Trump single-handedly dragged stuff into the public consciousness or the public remains unconscious.

You can't have it both ways.

But when you say Trump brought stuff out, and I say Trump didn't build that, and then you deny that any stuff got brought out at all, you reveal yourself as a propagandist and a spammer. Just so you know.

 

[Bryan]

That policy is a tad confusing... It would be extremely helpful if an example of an offending thread/post could be provided for reference.

We'll post some examples.

Thanks.
