Watch For the TROLLS trying to make the March sound Bad

[icon124]

Obviously there are trolls here that want to make this march sound like a bad idea. Think about it...if they thought it was a bad idea and didn't want to go, then they wouldn't go. It's that simple. People who actually support Ron Paul wouldn't come on here and try to convince us it is a bad idea. We all know this. So when you see these threads, just remember they are most likely trolls.

Imagine if you were a Ron Paul supporter, but didn't want to participate in the march. Would you really go out of your way and try to make the march seem like a really bad idea? Besides how bad could a march be? The Government will realize how strong and motivated we are, the media will how no choice but to cover it, and we get to see Ron Paul in person

No no you have it all wrong. Anybody who disagrees with *me* is a troll and must be purged.

tarzan is not a troll. He's been with us for longer than you have and I have a lot of respect for him... from the blimp to other volunteer opportunities.

LMFAO when did I say he was a troll. You need to look at the huge number of posts saying why we don't need a march

The best way to fight someone you honestly think is a troll is to not reply to them. Flag their post (the little exclamation point at the top right of the post) so that the moderators can take a look at it.

Just remember: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS! Let them feed themselves. I really don't think the "trolls" can hurt us anyways. If anything, their antics provide me with a lot of entertainment. It's fun to hunt down the trolls and flag their posts! Just don't argue with them (I found that out the hard way) It is frustrating and just gets them more views.

Also, don't make the mistake of publicly accusing people of being trolls without a HEAP of evidence to back up your claims. Often, it is just a poorly informed real supporter who needs issues clarified for them.

The huge number of posts protesting the March on Washington have done nothing but convince me that it is the best idea since sliced bread. No wonder there is so much anonymous dissent; the march is a neocon's nightmare!

We can use pictures and video from the march to convince people of the true numbers that support Ron Paul and the principles this great country was founded on. We are still only in the beginning stages of the Revolution! Many more will join us after this.

Yes, there are a lot of divider types in here. There's plenty of room for honest disagreement and discussion, but much of it is getting lost in dishonest crap.

When you see a post, ask yourself... Is this post an honest critique of something, or is it meant to divide and confuse people?

Beware.. This is not a playpen built to coddle provocateurs, obfuscationists and shills for other candidates. Nor does the wide openness of t allow remedy that the rights of a neocons shill be violated when they are ceremonially banned.

The OP is correct.

I think the march is a good idea but, I also think the babies and small children ought to be left at home for their own protection.

I am sure that police will be there in full riot gear.

Just like Dr. Paul some of the people here have doubts about the march and are voicing valid concerns, some of which i'm sure RP himself has thought about. That being said, I definitely think there are others here looking to spread false information and lower morale, my concern is it seems like recently it has been coming from people who have been here awhile, who maybe have given up on RP and are here just to cause trouble. I dont know, these are just my opinions..,


And now to go OT:

No offense but shouldn't it be ceremoniously?

Well put!

Ron Paul calls for a march, we answer. No were not sheep, we know whats going on. We NEED to march.

Either way. I think the way I spelt it has less positive connotation to it and implies an ongoing situation.

Someone needs to be a troll to think the march is a bad idea?

Frankly, I know that a lot of us NEED to march. That has been proven time and again. The only question is the effectiveness of the march.

No, the media does not have to cover it. There could be 5 million people there and the media most likely won't cover it. Maybe a "web exclusive." That's about it. Then what have you accomplished? The answer is that you'll feel good about yourselves. This means nothing. It gets no results. And for most, it will mean the end of their involvement with the freedom movement, not the beginning.

I wish a march would accomplish something. But the odds of anything like a success are dismal. Someone on another thread estimated that if 100,000 people show up, and each spend 250 dollars, the cost would be about 25 million spent. That's a huge opportunity cost. Think of the independent run that could fund. Then take all those dollars and instead tell Dr. Paul we'll each give him 250 dollars right away to fund national TV commercials and ballot access for an independent run.

The GOP has turned out to be a corrupt piece of garbage not worth our time. It's time to fund an independent candidate for change, Dr. Ronald Eugene Paul. If I thought any of our marches had accomplished anything, I'd feel differently. But look at the marches so far. They've accomplished nothing but making us feel good. That's not worth the effort and expense.

I wish he would at least want to run independant, but he made it very clear that he won't, so what can we do really?

We can promise him the money and the support and if he refuses, look for someone who will accept.

I don't know about Marc Sanford or Jeff Flake, but maybe there is a Gary Johnson (former New Mexico Governor) or someone who is very close to Dr. Paul ideologically who will use the money to run an independent campaign.

I love Dr. Paul, like we all do, but at some point this just becomes stupid. If he won't step up and say he wants people's votes and say he wants the office and actually act like he wants it, then we need to either put him in the position of doing what we expect or finding someone who is pro-freedom and actually wants the job.

The campaign has slowed to a trickle. Has there been a single appearance in Wisconsin? Pennsylvania? (other than the one they won in a contest). It's time to either act like you want the job or pull out and let someone who wants it step up.

You know...

I'm getting sick and tired of all this "troll" talk. It's so completely anti liberty it's ridiculous. If your positions are strong enough they will be able to withstand any attack someone lays down on them.

Critics and skeptics and cynics are not bad things to be ignored. They often can point out flaws in strategies and can help make a movement stronger.

You know what does the opposite of that?

Labeling everyone who criticizes the movement as a troll and putting the movement in an echo chamber full of yes men and sheep. It doesn't allow the movement to come up with productive ideas to combat criticism and it gives people in the movement a false sense of hope that will cause a huge crash and possibly even an abandonment of the movement once reality kicks in.

So can we seriously cut the troll talk out and embrace freedom of speech like Ron Paul does. If a critic is wrong then we should be able to debate him to the point where his ideas are made into a joke. If he is right then we can adjust our movement accordingly. Stop being afraid of opposing opinions. It's dangerous for the movement.

It is just this type of thinking with your brain instead of your latest copy of the National Enquirer or TV Guide, that is going to and will continue to keep this rEVOLution alive long passed November.

It is folks like this who are the very rebars holding together the cement of the foundation of this new "home" that shall never fall. All the other parties are creating houses of cards and Leaning Towers of Piza where supporters flip-flop with the flavour of the week - completely unstable.

Congressman Paul's supporters are in it for LIFE!
