UAB Spam Team Spots First Presidential Campaign Spam
Anti-spam researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) noted a disturbing new trend following Sunday's Republican Candidates Presidential debate. One of the candidates has a new spam campaign dedicated to proclaiming him victorious in the debate and extolling his virtues as the future president.
There is no reason to believe the current spam campaign is actually endorsed by Ron Paul or his official campaign engine, according to Gary Warner, UAB Director of Research in Computer Forensics,
Ron Paul is popular with the Internet and some of the recent Web polls that were taken down because of Ron Paul Spammers include:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/21257762/site/14081545/
http://constitutionallyright.com/2007/10/12/cnbc-forced-to-take-down-poll-because-of-ron-paul-spammers/
The new messages have headlines such as:
Ron Paul Wins GOP Debate!
Ron Paul Eliminates the IRS!
Ron Paul Stops Iraq War!
Vote Ron Paul 2008!
Iraq Scam Exposed, Ron Paul
Government Wasteful Spending Eliminated By Ron Paul

It’s a mark of sanity in my book to eschew this clown and his minions, connected or disconnected to his campaign...

Well, why don't you say what you mean for once instead of beating around the bush?.... :)
I've been off the RP threads for awhile. The garbage gets old and I needed a rest. It appears nothing much has changed...

Well, well. I’m sure Paul is furiously scribbling his response, which condemns this spamming as we speak. And the response will be disseminated via his supporters by spamming.

Check out this post out from the RP website I found:
It is easy.. our meetup has some tools that are pretty cheap. We use ipipi, you can send several thousand messages for about $100 and the best part is because it doesn't use phone numbers, it bypasses poll secuirty.
Ron Paul Forum
That's how they do it.
To: mnehrling
He has posters here spamming!

Ron Paul just "innocently" ignores all of this.
His campaign makes a mockery of democracy.

How nice. They have a lot of stuff exposed over there that hasn’t been moved to the private folders.
