“Any reason to start a Paul bashing thread. Why is this in breaking news, anyway? I would hardly consider this nonsense breaking news.”
I used to think Paul was kooky, until these bash threads started to appear.
I went back and read the entire quotes - not the partial quotes posted in the threads.
In this case, I actually watched the entire video - both of them.
Nothing was thrown. Someone said, if you throw snowballs you’ll get arrested. There were not curse words, unless “Fox News Sucks” is a “curse.”
Fox has been shameful in this election cycle, and I think that the yelling and screaming by people on FR who fear any candidate who will end government largesses have created more Paul supporters than they’ve turned off, ironically. I went from not even considering Paul to him being my #3 after Hunter and Fred as a result of my own investigating triggered by these pile-on threads.
Furthermore, I know I’m not the only one. Sadly, the environment on FR has gotten to be such that
- People make up BS threads about Paul
- They get posted to, and left in, Breaking News
- People pile on without reading the original article
- Anyone who calls BS is called a ‘Paultard’ or worse.
Pretty pathetic situation, I expect better on this forum.
Amen, couldn’t have said it better myself.
Yup, the lying, hyperbole and name calling about Paul on this forum is at the point that it's worse than what the left does. It's disgraceful as besides his foreign policy regarding the War on Terror (I agree otherwise that we need to limit US Troop use), Ron Paul is a reliable conservative, especially when it comes to our wallets. He's pro life, pro-2nd amendment, anti-illegal immigration and for limited government. He's 3rd on my list of presidential candidates (Hunter is #1, Thompson #2, and then Paul) but the attacks on this forum ALMOST make me want to vote for him on Super Tuesday.
With the leftist Socialists in charge we can all feel free to die in a trans fat and smoke free environment.
TO ALL: This is just my nightmare and you are all in it. I'm sorry. I get a libertarian candidate for POTUS and he turns out to be eccentric. I'm sorry. I will wake up in 10 hours and you and my nightmare will be over. I even dreamed that I saw these headlines on FR...
TOP 10 BOGUS RON PAUL HEADLINES THAT WILL SOON APPEAR ON FREE REPUBLIC: < /p>10. Ron Paul is a member of al Qaeda CIA sources say
9. Ron Paul spotted with Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton snorting cocaine and drinking booze at a trendy LA nightspot
8. Ron Paul to be indicted for the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman (OJ really was innocent!)
7. Larry Craig Confession: Ron Paul was my gay lover
6. Ron Paul (aka Juan Valdez) Is an Illegal Mexican immigrant, ICE documents claim
5. AMA accuses Dr. Ron Paul of infecting his patients with HIV during his private practice
4. Congressman Ron Paul arrested for DWI; weapons cache and dead body found in trunk
3. Nude pictures of Ron Paul surface on the internet
2. Ron Paul indicted on federal dog fighting charges
1. Congressman Ron Paul vehemently denies membership in the 8 Tre Gangsta Crip street gang despite mounting evidence
Let me add to that:
- Paul supporters respond with the facts
- Paul bashers whine and start pinging the Mods
- Good FReepers get banned or suspended
- The cycle renews
This is not the FR of the early days.
Curiously if you look at join dates you'll notice that most Paul supporters are long-time FR members and most Paul detractors have only been here the past few years.
I wasn't a Ron Paul supporter either until I began reading the anti-Ron Paul hate posts.
So now wanting to bring our troops home, mind our own business, stop printing money, end our involvement in the UN, control our borders, and protect our 2nd Amendment rights, is considered treasonous, nutty and anti-conservative?
What you said. Hear, hear!
Nothing was thrown. Someone said, if you throw snowballs you’ll get arrested.”
From post 153: “I heard him say that “you’ll get arrested for throwing snow.”
So IF your fellow paultards were NOT throwing anything as you have claimed, then WHY can you hear someone on the video CLEARLY state what YOU have quoted from the video?
And in the video you can clearly hear people dropping the “F” bomb numerous times such as “F*** you Hannity”, “F*** you Sean”, F*** Fox”, “F*** FoxNews”, “Hannity you f***ing A**hole”, etc, etc, etc.
I have 7.1 digital surround on this computer, and I can clearly hear the cussing amongst other things.
