This kind of infighting accomplishes absolutely nothing and I'm personally getting tired of seeing it every time I come onto this forum. I have a suggestion for both groups that are arguing about this.
The Upset over 9/11 Truth being linked to Ron Paul Crowd:
What were you hoping to accomplish by putting forth this thread/whining about what has become commonplace? I'm being very serious here. Do you think that putting up this thread is really going to change the fact that some people think with their hearts instead of their heads? Do you really think that the Old Media is going to respect you more for decrying someone else having a different method of campaigning that might turn off some people? Do you think that Dr. Paul wants the kind of infighting that this is causing to occur on one of the forums that is trying to get his message out?
If you are upset about the fact that you are going to have to work a little harder to get the message out, deal with it. If it wasn't something like this, the media would come up with something else to marginalize Ron Paul. They don't like him, few of them will be convinced otherwise, and they are not going to help us. You can't control people by complaining about mistakes, which will inevitably happen no matter what, and going on tirades like this will only piss off our current base of support, which is made up of 9/11 truth people, like it or not.
If you want to be mad at someone get angry at the media, they were the ones who put out this garbage. And quit giving me this nonsense about "that's the way the game is played", I'm not in the mood for meaningless bromides, if you want to play the game by the rules of your enemies, you will lose, every time.
The Pro-Associate Paul with the 9/11 Truth Crowd:
I read a poll (I forgot where) stating that 53% of Americans don't believe that their government is not telling them the whole truth about 9/11, while this poll may not be fully representative of the facts, it suggests that there is a sizable voting block to go after, especially in college campuses. However, use your heads if you are going to try to win people from Dennis Kucinich/Mike Gravel's side to ours, and make sure that you don't overplay your hand by getting emotional and blurting out things that will come back to haunt you.
Keep 9/11 Truth separate from Paul until Paul himself states that he wants to be associated with it, otherwise you are not serving him. He goes on to Alex Jones show on occasion, so has Pat Buchanan, so has even Noam Chomsky, these individuals are not what I would call 9/11 Truth stock, unless you know something I don't.
P.S. - Outbursts like "If I can't shout out 9/11 was an inside job from a mountaintop without catching flack from other supporters of Ron Paul" are emotionally driven, they have no place in rational debates, think with your head please.
To Everybody:
Like it or not, we are going to have to learn to work together despite there being some radical differences in the way we view things, I'm sure Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine had similar moments to this one, but it sure as hell didn't stop them from originally freeing this country. Get over your differences and get back to work, your wasting time that could be spent sending letters to Iowa.
