THIS is WHY it MATTERS in what Rallies you attend

[klamath]

How any RP supporters think that associating with the hammer and sickle will portray freedom is beyond me.

 

[Ridiculous]

Ron Paul's message is as solid as a chunk of granite rock. It cannot be harmed or destroyed by minor things like this.

You don't think that if someone like O'Rielly plays that clip on TV it wouldn't do huge damage to the campaign? If Republicans that haven't heard of Paul see that kind of shit, he'll never get their vote.... Guit by association is 100% accurate here. No one is overreacting.

We are trying to get the Republican nomination here. Do you know the kind of hatred that the average republican has toward Code Pink and Communists? It would be like Ron getting endorsed by MoveOn or something.

As for the side I am on.... I AM NOT ON THE SIDE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY!!! AND I AM PISSED AS ALL HELL THAT SOME OF YOU DRUG DR. PAUL'S GOOD NAME THROUGH THE MUD WITH YOUR UTTER STUPIDITY!!!

HA HA HA!!

That's some funny shit!

I think you are looking at the really really really small group of people who made this video and associating them with all of those that attended the antiwar rally.

Sorry, I saw several shots of Iraq veterans against the war in the video and I'd have a very tough time calling them commies. As a matter of fact I wouldn't call them that to their face. Nor would I call Col. Ayn Wright who was leading some of those marches a Commie either. I wouldn't be surprised if the neocon with his stupid little blog made this video to slander both the antiwar movement and Ron Paul supporters.

Again though please do not generalize antiwar protest as being full of commie bastards out to get us.

BTW, I wasn't any where near this, I live in Dallas, I'm just saying.

 

[McDermit]

when we go to the anti-illegal immigration events around here, we always hand out slim jims and copies of RP's immigration articles from lew rockwell. but there's no other visible cue that we're RP supporters... no signs, no shirts, not even buttons.

 

[NPursuit357]

You are really overreacting here.

People that act like Ron Paul and his message of following the constitution is some fragile glass vase that will be shattered by silly things like this show no confidence in what they profess to believe.

Ron Paul's message is as solid as a chunk of granite rock. It cannot be harmed or destroyed by minor things like this.

We are looking at everything through a microscope because we are so hungry for liberty and rightfully fearful that if something is not done soon we will lose it, but some people need to chill out and redirect their energies to more positive things than nitpicking like this.

His message may be solid as a chunk of granite to you and I, but the sheeple that catch a 30 second clip of this on the news will forever block out truly looking at RP's message.

 

[Akus]

We cannot associate Ron Paul with COMMUNISTS. PERIOD. The PROS (if there are any) will NEVER outweigh the CONS.

I am puzzled what would communists find common with Ron Paul. He is as anti communist as as anti-communist gets. I understand why anti-war movement would be all over him, but communists' attraction to him is puzzling me.

 

[fletcher]

Idiots.

 

[G-khan]

The problem is that a lot of people are just plain stupid. This is embarrassing to the sane Ron Paul supporters.

So you don't think the people in pink have rights to be in pink..

I think you are too worried about image that you think is right.

I think the right image is to show I may not agree with them but I will support their right to have their views!

 

[Akus]

His message may be solid as a chunk of granite to you and I, but the sheeple that catch a 30 second clip of this on the news will forever block out truly looking at RP's message.

NPursuit you are dead on about the sheeple, but, on the other hand, the sheeple probably do not even know that there are primaries around the corner. So they're both an asset and a liability as far as I am concerned.

 

[CodeMonkey]

Looks like a pure propaganda piece to me. Neither of the shots of Ron Paul supporters show them associating with any communists, but sandwiched between a bunch of footage of communists, with that music playing in the background, it makes them look like they're part of it. The same effect could have been achieved by taking footage from a Ron Paul rally and splicing it into that montage.

If anyone has the opportunity to discuss this issue, I would be quick to point out that the video also shows a group of Iraq War veterans at the protest, and ask if that makes all U.S. military personnel communists.

I don't want to be aligned with a group of communists and people who march with an American flag upside down. I have a lot of problems with the way this country is going, but I hang my flag high and proud. In case you haven't realized image is everything in this country.

So are you saying that if these pink people want to support Ron Paul they should be rejected?

Let me make this clear. PLEASE keep Ron Paul signs away from rallies where the Communist Party will be in attendance. Period. If you do not understand why, there is no amount of explaining that is going to help.

They have the right to do whatever the hell they want.

But there is something that a lot of you aren't getting here. We are trying to sell a product. We have a target audience. Doing stupid shit like associating Ron Paul with communists and code pink could alienate that target audience. You want to do your best to get your message out to everyone without alienating anyone when you don't have to.

dude, or dudete,

did you ever consider that just maybe these people are supporting ron paul. in other words that the people you are so upset with are not conservative republicans who are going over to promote ron paul at these events, but rather the people who normally attend these events are supporting ron paul because regardless of his other positions he is the only true anti-iraq-war candidate.

trust me, they know hillary and obama are not really against the iraq war, if the war is their most important issue, ron paul is the only major candidate who would actually end it if elected. if you were a peacnic would you carry a ron paul sign or a hillary sign?

now, i know that the great lord libertyeagle must have the last word, so i will leave you with this. when you go to bed tonight, think about me, my nazi beliefs, and my love for the olsen twins, and remember many many people who support ron paul do not agree with all his beliefs but still think he's the best candidate and the only one who isn't bought and paid for.

 

[axiomata]

Ouch. That hurts.

 

[LibertyEagle]

So are you saying that if these pink people want to support Ron Paul they should be rejected?

No, but why in hell, did these people have to go stand with them and the Communist Party waving Ron Paul signs??? It is pure STUPIDITY!! If you want to campaign to these people, there are plenty of other venues in which to do so. From when I saw them in Crawford, Texas however, the vast majority of them seemed to be socialists, so I don't see what exactly they would have in common with Dr. Paul, besides his wanting us out of this unconstitutional war.

 

[NPursuit357]

NPursuit you are dead on about the sheeple, but, on the other hand, the sheeple probably do not even know that there are primaries around the corner. So they're both an asset and a liability as far as I am concerned.

I see your point. However there are many sheeple and semi political people I'm trying to get to believe Ron Paul's message is for real, and I don't appreciate the fact that some of those people may see this, and think Ron Paul and I are fucking cooks.

 

[Ridiculous]

So are you saying that if these pink people want to support Ron Paul they should be rejected?

First of all they would never endorse Paul. Second, you don't want to have a Paul sign in the same camera frame as these people.

Imagine if MoveOn started endorsing Paul. His campain would be OVER. Basically the same would go for code pink.

 

[DjLoTi]

I saw the blog only because you posted it. Big whoop. Anyone who reads blogs and uses the internet as their main source of info already knows about Ron Paul.

If crap like this really destroys the movement, then lord help us, and i'll be moving to another country.
