Fred Thompson Forum: A Ron Paul Weenies Front?

I've had a commenter advertise the Fred Thompson Forum, but the actual site is pretty silly. There seems to be a bunch of posters pretending to be ignorant "neocons" who support Fred Thompson (with over the top names like I LOVE HANNITY and Neocon4Fred), while links and facts to Ron Paul are casually put into the discussion and his supporters are made to seem sane in comparison. The biggest tell is that's theres a poll up about whether Fred Thompson can beat Ron Paul, and Fred Thompson is losing -- on a supposed Fred Thompson fan site.

Plus, the reader who alerted me to this said he actually had all his sane posts about Fred Thompson removed. So the whole point of the site is to make Fred Thompson supporters look stupid while pushing them to Ron Paul... except I doubt anyone who isn't already a Ron Paul supporter is dumb enough to fall for it.

Then again, this is actually one of the more clever things those weenies have done -- certainly more clever than the poll spamming. It's like a dog figuring out how to work a doorknob. Any toddler can do it, but, for a dog... wow.

Still, Do Ron Paul supporters really have no idea how ridiculous they look to everyone else? They're like a bunch of Glenn Greenwalds.

Congrats to the L. Ron supporters. You can’t debate the issues, so you resort to making up stuff. And you wonder why nobody takes you seriously.

Did you know during Roman times, actors were considered to be in the same social class as whores and were not eligible for burial among "decent" folk much less considered suitable for public office.

Do we really need another make-believe President?

[SE Mom]

pitiful..

Care to identify the other "make-believe President"?

[Petronski]

That sounds like a completely senseless and juvenile plan . . . much like the Paulbearers themselves.

Did you know that during more recent times, crackpots like Ron Paul would have been allowed to rot away in asylums?

Do we really need an insane president?

[Theresawithanh]

I didn’t know Ron Paul was an actor!

I hope you're not referring to Reagan ...

Oh. Almost forgot the link to the sham site:

*chuckle* I think my cousin is one of the web captains for the Ron Paul campain. If this is his doing, I’ll let him know how lame it is. (And then, just for fun, I’ll remind him how much food he used to smear on himself when he was a toddler.)

Were there others? Name names.

Ron Paul has his kook fringe, yes. But don't blame it on him. His message of limited government, non-interventionist foreign policy, and eliminating bureaucracies reasonate with people across the political spectrum, and unfortunately he's attracting the anarchist types.

I'm a Fred Thompson guy, BTW. I know realistically Paul doesn't stand a chance of winning. But I'm glad Paul's in the race to get his message out.

[Petronski]

Do you think he has the cojones to name names?

[BGHater]

On the Domestic side, RP and Fred agree on alot of the matters.

Abortion, gun control, borders, the Constitution, impeachment of Clinton, the IRS.

It’s on Iraq where they really differ.

Either way, two small Gov’t Repubs.

Man, it's a good thing we're not in Roman times. We do a lot of things different here, in America, in modern times.

Do we really need another make-believe President?

No, we don't. That's why I'm proud we'll soon have a REAL candidate to consider. (FDT)
Have a nice day.

[The Blitherer]

Oh, I soooo agree! I HATED Reagan too!

Sounds like the same problem that Digg is having lately.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Yep. Thompson was somewhat the Ron Paul of the Senate. He was the lone one voting no on some 99-1 votes.

He's probably the only one who understands the importance of limited government after Paul himself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ron Paul also pulls in Truthers because of his statements regarding the 9/11 cover-up. If 9/11 Truthers back you, I certainly don't.
