Paul's campaign's greatest strength is simultaneously his greatest weakness, sadly.

Goddamnit. For every 10 people I convert, someone like that turns off 1,000

Yarg! I hope someone knows her and tells her to shut up

 

[kylejack]

Damn it, he's a pretty talented talker. He comes off as casual, relaxed, and in-control. He'll be a threat when he finally enters the race.

I was really hoping for a bumbling idiot.

Damaging? Who would be damaged? Is this person somehow physically handcuffed to everyone who supports Ron Paul?

Did she have a letter on her signed by the good doctor, saying "This young lady speaks for me!" ?

I think many of us should question our collectivist tendencies.

Otherwise, maybe we are supporting the wrong candidate if we truly believe that it takes a village to heckle a politician.

i didn't hear her say anything about ron paul so i dont know why the article had to put that comparison there at all.... people need to stop linking all 9/11 truthers to ron paul... Im not saying shes not a supporter, but she doesnt need to be haggled about it because at least she DIDN'T mix the two agendas together.

Supporters like this is what earns the rest of us moonbat status with the media.

Exactly. In the eyes of the people, if they see 1 person carrying a Ron Paul banner and a 9/11 Truth sign, that's all they need to see. At the end of the article, it says that both this lady and a man were asked to leave events on this day for disturbing them, and that their car had a Ron Paul sticker on it

I get around the internet forums and beleive me, more 9/11 truthers are behind Kucinch and Gravel then they are Paul.

For some reason, Gravel and Kucinich are not getting that sort of tin foil hat press. Probably because, no one sees those two as being a threat.

Wear was the press in the last election, when these groups were promoting some bogus (money raising scam) Nesara ET lead program saying Kucinich was going to be their savior from the Lizard people?

So the solution is to cave into those intellectually and morally deficient attacks?

Do we contradict the very essence of the message that's supposed to unite us just because we fear a moonbat label?

How is this any different than giving up some liberty for a little security? We know where that leads.

We can't afford to follow the collectivist play book by legitimizing their idea of how society should work.

We have to stand tall and non-apologetically and proudly and loudly say, "Hell yes we have people from all walks of life and political views supporting Ron Paul!" All of us freedom loving Americans.

Because of this. If you click on the hot link in the verbage about the video, it will take you to an MSNBC article. The article ends with this...

"Here's the kicker: The two were spotted leaving together in a car sporting a Ron Paul bumper sticker."

NO, the solution is to stop the hell spouting 9-11 is an inside job and other associated shit that Dr. Paul does not believe, while you are in any way representing yourselves as RP supporters.

We're not caving into anyone. We're recognizing the reality of the world and the fact that most people will see one example of a Ron Pau supporter screaming hysterically about 9/11 and that's all they need to see to become convinced. We may not base our political decisions on such things but the truth is that most people are. Hell, studies have shown that people favor the taller candidate regardless of the message. This is what we're dealing with here.

Now if you want to naively believe that this does not affect the Paul campaign in a negative way, you need to step back and re-examine things

Do we contradict the very essence of the message that's supposed to unite us just because we fear a moonbat label?

Well, the 9/11 Truth movement is not part of our campaign, so we're not contradicting anything. I dont want that associated with Dr. Paul's campaign and neither does he.

 

[Wyurm]

here's the problem, she NEVER said ANYTHING about Ron Paul, I didnt see anything (except in the comments) on her blog about Ron Paul. The RP connection was made by an MSNBC article that noted the two people got into a car that had a RP bumper sticker on it.

So if I hop into a truck with a Bush - Cheney Bumper sticker on it, does that mean I must support them? Could I not be riding with a friend? Gah, its obvious misleading information.

 

[Kuldebar]

Well, who are you representing?

I don't represent Ron Paul, I support him. It's really not that hard to see the distinction.

again, before you post gigantic red type, please take note that this isnt about someone supporting RP and acting like a truther. This is about the media trying to make Dr Paul look like a nut, or worse. There was NO Ron Paul connection outside of a very very far stretch. Please see the above post I made.

In the real world, people look at a candidate's supporters. Is it bullshit? YES. But people are shallow. You gotta play the game.

I agree, criticizing this woman saying she is messing with RP's campaign is rediculous. She didn't mention him one time. I commend her for standing up and doing real journalism, when the mainstream media is derelict in their duty. It's all about the marketplace of ideas. Demand is meeting supply.

I don't care if she had a RP bumper sticker, either. She has rights. The Ron Paul rEVOLution is all about letting others be as long as they're not coercing you.

2 People were asked to leave the event for disrupting it in an unneccesarily rude manner. The 2 individuals then got into a car with a Ron Paul sticker.

How the hell does she think screaming "9/11 was an inside job!!" is helping Ron Paul. Regardless of Ron Paul, how does that help the 9/11 Truth movement? It just made her look like a crazy person. People like that just want attention
