This is the second bogus Ron Paul story currently in Breaking News. Obviously, the old one was going to drop off the bottom of Breaking News so the Paul-haters had to find a new bogus story.

If you inspect the original link (a Meetup page), you'll find one wingnut in Pasadena who is trying to get RP supporters to attend a MoveOn anti-war rally. He says he has 12 RSVP's (of which he'll be lucky if six show up).

So, are all the various Meetup pages now Breaking News at FreeRepublic? If I go start a Rudy Giuliani MeetUp for "NAMBLA For Rudy" or a Meetup for "Abortionists for Brownback" or a MeetUp for "KKK For Obama", would those be Breaking News at FreeRepublic?

Is it really in the interest of FR to have such non-stories as our top Breaking News stories? In what sense can anyone consider this story (or the previous one) to be Breaking News? How exactly do we know that the Paul-haters here at FR did not actually post and organize this anti-war MoveOn Meetup so they could blame it on Ron Paul?

Interesting.......The Pasadena Ron Paul 2008 Meetup Group is organized by Bill Dumas. This is the same guy that acknowledged the fact that Ron Paul’s campaign was attracting wackos. You’d think if he wanted to distance Ron Paul from the Moveon Whack Jobs he would have pulled those posts, wouldn’t you?
