Several weeks (months?) ago, I started receiving unsolicited daily email from something called FMNN eAlerts. It appears at first to be some sort of free daily "newspaper." Not being familiar with the source, I deleted it.

But it kept coming every day. I set up a spam filter for it (in Thunderbird), but apparently I did it wrong because it kept coming. It appears to be professionally produced, and it is packed full of large images.

Out of curiousity, I started reading a bit of it. I noticed that every "issue" featured Libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul. I soon realized that it is nothing but spam for his candidacy.

I have no way of knowing whether Ron Paul himself is behind this or not. But I do know that this spam campaign is a disgrace, and he should demand an end to it whether he is personally involved or not.

Who do these people think they are, using a massive spam campaign for some semi-kooky presidential candidate who is clueless about the terrorist threat we face? If this is their idea of "innovative" campaigning, they need a good slap upside the head. Please let them know what you think about their spam.

FMNN = Free Market News Network, a newsletter that has been around for a while. No surprise that they're supporting RP, but there's not direct affiliation that I'm aware of.

I suggest searching Wired Magazine online. They have several articles recently on the Paul supporters email spamming, creating bogus forums on other candidates, and spamming polls. We can’t post the articles here, but they are pretty deep. I know they are working on a few more on fundraising.

Whoops, I just realized that I mistakenly identified Ron Paul as a “Libertarian” presidential candidate. That should be small-l “libertarian,” of course.

Ron Paul buzz is a George Soros funded Hillary Clinton black ops recreation of a “Ross Perot” vote splitter like Bill Clinton had in 92....

The stealth left power that be will push hard create a “Ron Paul” third party

My favorite Ron Paul ad, which is the one I made:

I have been a member of Freerepublic since 2000. Only until this Ron Paul disease started, have I received for the first time, unsolicited email from another Freeper/RonPaultard.

I received spam from Obama!

The Paul lunatics are loose in Louisville today. They are hanging bedsheets from the overpasses on I-64

The Ron Paul followers are definitely kooks and don’t care if they break the law in trying to ‘campaign’ for him. I drove under and overpass the other day - someone has spray painted “Ron Paul for President” right along side the gang graffiti.

Man, you guys are desperate. I’ll leave you alone to play in your filth.

Kucinich saw a UFO, little did he know, Ron Paul was driving...

He strikes me as more of a master baiter.
