No actually it wasn’t BB.

IF you do a ‘Net search, you find it is reported by a bunch of Paulbot websites but not by any credible news sources.

Then you need to look at this.

http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00432914/A_EMPLOYER_C00432914.html

If you go to the actual data, what the Paulbots did was total up ALL donations that listed a branch of the US Military as their employer. They then misrepresented those as being donations from “Active Duty Military”. There no way to tell if these are from reservists, civilian employees of DOD or veterans. To claim these all as “Active Duty Military “ is factually incorrect.

It also intellectually dishonest. $24,495 raised from this source is hardly an overwhelming endorsement of Paul from “the active duty military” as was wrongly claimed by the Paulbots.

Thanks for posting that. But he’s been present for the same explanation before. It’s not about reason, it’s about repetition of the charge.

Let’t not forget the VFW for slapping down Military Veterans for Paul for falsely claiming they endorsed him for President. Paul supporters really pissed off the VFW for that one.
