Some observations from today...

[angrydragon]

Don't mind them too much alionbe, some of us are just really careful to newer members as they maybe be trying to disrupt our forums.

We Need to ignore the Racist Attacks or they will not go away!

From reading his original post, it seems to me that he was reporting his observations and stating that the smear was working. Then, if I'm not entirely mistaken, he was suggesting a way to possibly address it.

What's with the hostility?

That's no way to treat a new member. What if someone comes here on the fence and someone spews garbage and insults at them like you're doing? It's going to sway their decision the wrong way.

I was out with the meetup group waving signs at a busy intersection in Chicago today. It wasn't huge (maybe 20 people at one time) but i thought it was pretty successful.

Several times today I heard people calling Ron Paul a racist, yelling from cars or coming right up to us. Most of them wouldn't even let us clear it up for them which was disappointing. A lot of liberals around here would be receptive to Dr. Paul's message but it looks like the smear campaign was effective. Anyone else seeing this? I thought it might be a good idea to make a separate slim jim or some handout made to address this.

Another thing I thought was interesting was the disproportionately high amount of enthusiasm from cab drivers. I can't tell you how many were honking for us and shouting "Go Ron Paul" in support. A good number of them rolled down their windows and asked for our handouts. I'm curious as to if this is because of those tip cards people hand out. If so, this is very encouraging. What a great idea.

I took some video of the meetup members talking about their support...

Well done!

Alex is an infiltrator and this thread is B.S. The newsletter hit is not sticking, they just want us to think it is having an impact so we'll give up.

Check out the video. Look at these guys. These are not authentic RP supporters. The Youtube account was just created today, Jan 12th, the same day he created this thread. They are on somebody's payroll.

We're under attack from all sources. It's better to be vigilant than trusting in these times of deceipt.

There are very few voters who are buying this "he's a racist meme." It's not going to stick. It won't hurt our Revolution unless we let it hurt this Revolution.

African Americans are supporting Dr. Paul in droves because they know an honest white guy when they see and hear one. They are abandoning Hillary and Obama and are turning to Dr. Paul, and the establishment is concerned.

Stay focused. Keep spreading Dr. Paul's message. Don't stop, ever. Ignore the attacks, as they can't stop us unless we let them.

Umm.. this is the email our meetup got from one of our members today:

Steve and I were at the TR overpass today to catch the crowd heading to the Packer game. We had one of our new members (Tim) join us today. The number of cars giving a positive response stayed about the same, or may have increased slightly. The number of cars responding in a negative way, have increased greatly. I'm wondering if people now think that RP is racist because they heard about that old newsletter, but don't know the full story.

Calm down there son! You cant clean a house by sweeping the dirt under a rug!

Lay off of this person please! Some of you go overboard to make people feel unwelcomed because they bring up something you don't want to hear.

Welcome to the board. You may help yourself to cookies and pie.

We all know Ron isn't a racist. It's not your fault Alionbe, some people believe whatever they want to believe.

You can have the thread deleted if you want. I was not expecting this type of response at all. Im telling you what happened today and why I was concerned. I'm not trying to bring down anybody's morale, but if the problem exists we shouldnt ignore it.

Just some advice... you should stop alienating new supporters. Probably not gonna post anything again knowing im just gonna be accused of being a "troll". Thanks

Don't leave just because a few individuals here refuse to follow Jefferson's Rules of Conduct:

[stevedasbach]

No I wan't you to shut the fuck up and stop fucking up the forum morale.

So when people share information you don't like, your response is "shut the fuck up and stop fucking up the forum morale"? Sounds like Fox News' attitude toward us.

Dr. Paul's campaign is all about speaking the truth. We shouldn't attack a fellow Paul supporter for honestly reporting what happened, the bad along with the good.

Exactly. We cannot believe that this MSM crap doesn't work... they did it to Buchanan and Dean last time...successfully. The only big difference is they didn't have DRP message, history OR US!

Bloody Holly: Your avatar is really disturbing.

Last week we held the huge RP sign (4'x8') on the overpass, and there was a white guy who walked past us and asked if he (RP) took money from a white supremacist. We had to answer yes, and tried to "clear it up" for him, but he said, "No, that's all I need to know..."

That's when you say, "Every candidate has received donations from white supremacists, Ron Paul is the only one that has been attacked for it."

I'm just pissed this forum is falling apart because of those racist letters. We need to close down all threads and totally ignore the issue. Its only dividing us.

I think your reaction has caused more divide than the initial post.

That being said, you owe someone an apology..

Next.

well, here is a VERY EASY WAY TO CONFIRM.

What is your meetup number? That is simple, right?

What meetup group do you belong to? Not the city, but the actual meetup group number.

**************

1. Liberals like his message
--- insinuating Ron is NOT a replublican

2. Mentioning Racist
-- self explanatory

3. Cab drivers seem to really like Ron
--- cab drivers are probably diproportiationatly middle eastern, imho.

This is why I am suspect. Basically saying Ron Paul has liberal ideals that muslims seem to love despite the racist claims.

***********************

that is my 2 cents. I am not saying this is a troll post, just slightly susptect.

Just tell us what meetup group number.

 

[Spirit of '76]

Guys, let's please forget it and move on.

How many votes have you gotten for Ron today?

 

[Bloody Holly]

...I was never informed of the cookies and pie.

Burn the witch!

You weren't informed. It was removed from You Tube. Afterwards, the media ate all of the cookies and the pie!

Crooked lying cookie and pie stealing filthy hardened criminals outta be ashamed of their cookie and pie stealing ways.
