New Ron Paul Fund Raiser Put Anarchy Image Up Front?
Friday, November 09, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com

FMNN NEWS ANALYSIS/OPINION

A new donation day seems to be in the works for the presidential campaign of Jeffersonian conservative Ron Paul (R-Tex). It will likely take place on December 16th, the day of the US "Boston Tea Party," and a web-page at “www.thisdecember16th.com” apparently provides a glimpse as to a possible presentation of the message that is to be delivered by the fund-raising effort.

The tagline itself is seemingly wonderfully evocative "No taxation through inflation." But the imagery itself does not draw from the "Boston Tea Party." Instead, it places the "Anarchist" flower-throwing iconic figure front and center, ensuring a continued dialogue over the meaning of Ron Paul's Constitutionalist message.

That's BANKSY, not anarchy. FMNN is retarded and not a credible media source. Remember the Q2 fiasco?

Who is the idiot that put up that site with that picture on it? Seriously people what is going on here, the real site is not accessible to everyone yet these competing sites are popping up all over the place threatening to damage the campaign. Thankfully the grass roots for other candidates are not well organized because otherwise they could be damaging our efforts more than we are damaging them ourselves already.

Relax. Banksy is not a threat.

I think its funny, it counters the idea that we are some crazies by juxtaposing our message of revolution, with our message of peace. Thus the protester chucking flowers instead of Molotov's. lol.

I still remember the "V for vendetta is destroying the campaign" propagandists.

Surely you don't mean that we should use those people who damaged other people's property and later overthrew the government with violence!

 

[micahnelson]

Yeah we should get some Original Tea Party stuff up there too... but I have no problem with this picture.

http://www.thisdecember16th.com/ This the page ya'll are talking about right?? I don't see the Banksy thing your talking about, I see a composition book on top of a map of the middle-east with a photo of Ron and some Big Brother is coming sticker.

I dunno....why can't it be all about Revolutionary War imagery? Tri-corn hats and leggings, brass buckles on the shoes, white powdered wigs and crates of tea chucked into the harbor???

 

[kylejack]

Its been changed.

 

[GHoeberX]

Its been changed.

I think the webmaster made a good decision to replace that.

 

[Gimme Some Truth]

Erm, we want the media to cover the proper websites .

PS. The rally is on the 15th.

Not to step on any toes, but the teaparty07 seems like it will be more effective. It's more in-theme, maybe have thisdecember16th point to it?
