Aparently Savage listners also leave hate mail

Oh geez. I just listened to that. It's horrible. The people that wrote those letters made Savage look even worse than he actually is and that's pretty hard to do. :)

Why is it so hard for people to just act professional and stick to contacting them through their offices? If we act like juveniles or psychos, we're also going to lay that all over Dr. Paul.
 
It's possible that:
1) Someone not in the Paul campaign posted the home number initially
2) Others assumed it was the office number and called the home number unintentionally
3) That some of the people who called Mr. Failor were not part of the Paul campaign but operatives from other campaigns
4) That Mr. Failor is either lying or exagerating about the nature of the calls he received.

But it probably is a good idea to double check the source link before calling a number to make sure it is legit.
 
Well, if you people are concerned about being nice for just pure moral reasons that is one thing, and I think that is a good goal.


If you are concerned about being nice because the way other people may think, well that is just unrealistic.

You have to bear in mind, if a few people made harassing calls to these weasels, don't you think they would blow it out of proportion?

To think that the media is an honest outlet of information is naive.

Why should we be overly concerned about being "nice" to weasels?

I don't condone the behavior, let me stress that, but to expect every single phone call out of 10,000 people from the internet to be nice? That is just spin and a lack of understanding the internet.
 
It's a smear by Failor with zero evidence to prove it.

Failor has already shown himself to be a person with severe conflicts of interest and has not given full disclosure of these things on the radio broadcast.....

Do you trust Failor's smears?

Of course the media will blow it out of proportion. I am sure Ed Failure is exagareeting or lying. Of course some people will always go crazy. What we have to do is stress that it is not right. We have to create an atmosphere where this kind of thing is not ok. It won't stop it. The effect it will have is to limit this kind of behavior and let interested observers that are sitting on the fences see that most Ron Paul supporters have good character. It will help people keep their emotions get the better of them.
 
First of all, if he's going to have a breakdown like 60% vs. 40%... what was he doing, counting the calls and making a checklist as they came in?? "Hey honey, looks like we got another nasty one. Make another tic mark in the 'a-hole' column!"

He's obviously exaggerating, or outright lying. However, calling someone at their home is unnecessary and clearly - you can't deny this since the evidence is now in our face - it serves only to hurt us in the short term and maybe the long term too. Then again, I agree, we're left now to prove a negative. If he's going to make that claim, he should've recorded some of them. So for now, until I hear or read at least ONE of these alleged nasty calls, I'm claiming it's a b.s. sympathy ploy. Ed Failor knows he's in a bind. His organization may now lose their tax exempt status, and his desire to exclude Ron Paul in an effort to sideline him, has completely blown up in his face.

At this point, can anyone honestly deny that it would actually be better for Ron Paul to NOT be invited, or to not go if he is invited? This thing, I imagine, has done wonders for galvanizing Paul's supporters, and made him more popular at the same time. Ron Paul absolutely needs to stage his own forum, right outside their doors on the very same day. It would be huge. Tell Ed Failure and his lot to stuff it, we don't need your cruddy forum. In my opinion, a man like Ed doesn't deserve to be in the same room as Ron Paul.
 
calling peoples home is stupid but people were pissed what are you going to do . This will blow over and the real story will be on the 30th when there are more Ron Paul supporters protesting the forum then people attending the forum. In the end we will win this round.:)

Not likely. His home number was posted here initially and is STILL posted on the other Ron Paul forum and that guy is encouraging people to still call it.

Get your butt down there as a Realtor you should be able to get off next weekend. ;)

Honestly though, we need everyone possible to attend. If you are reading this sentence, that means you.
 
I'm gathering some stats to answer the Ron Paul "mariginalization" mail. Just found this handy little gem. This report was done by the Project for Excellence in Journalism for the media. http://www.stateofthenewsmedia.com/2007/narrative_cabletv_publicattitudes.asp?cat=7&media=6

This ought to soften the blow whenever Ron Paul is attacked on cable news programs ;)
