Oh right. Ms. Call makes a major mistake and receives a lot of angry about her mistake. As for who made the mistake... Lets read that article again. Not treason, as the dozens of phone callers screamed. Not fraud, as the dozens of e-mails charged. Nothing. Human error, by someone unknown, caused Call's office to claim Paul received zero votes from the town during Tuesday's first-in-the-nation primary. .... Call, 35, arrived at the Pillsbury Memorial Hall Tuesday morning at 7 for the start of a marathon day. About a dozen or so staffers coordinated the effort, guiding voters, counting votes, rechecking totals. Paul's 31 votes got lost in the shuffle, lost in translation between moderator Greg Hill's voice and Call's pen. The slot next to Paul's name on the original return sheet said 31, but a space on Call's return, next to Paul's name, remained blank. "He's (Gill) reading off his results, I'm writing them down on the return," Call said. "I don't know why it was blank. I don't know if he skipped over it or if someone interrupted him to repeat the last name and it got skipped, or maybe I missed it. It was that simple."

Mrs. Call is the person that made the mistake.

The caller had Ron Paul's numbers correct on his tally sheet. Mrs. Call did not. It's pretty clear who's mistake it was.

An honest mistake was made and swiftly corrected, and this woman gets harrassed for it? Who does that kind of behavior help?

I got a threat from you asking for my number so you could harass me.

Bald faced liars give the Freep a bad rep too.

It appears that not only did you not listen to the debate and hear what was said but apparently,you do not read and understand what words mean.

First of all,I responded to a statement you made referencing Paul's answer to the question posed by Brit Hume. Your comment is italicized in my response to you. In my reply,I pointed out that Paul was ridiculed despite the fact that Hume had changed the question and I found that quite dishonest.

Then you reply with a copy of the transcript and tell me I was making much out of nothing despite the fact that the transcript clearly shows the question was changed which was what I said. Furthermore,please remember that you were the person who brought up the whole incident in question,not me.

How you can state that Ron Paul was either napping or covering or not capable of absorbing information. It looks to me like you may be unable to comprehend what you have heard or what you have read.

“To be fair, every candidate has partisans who are this deranged. Some people get their entire identities wrapped up in a campaign and go bananas when they think somebody is sabotaging their guy.”

Really?

Other than those on the left (and that’s including ron paul), I have yet to see supporters of a single Republican act like that.

“They seem to behave with a threatening, pack mentality”

Yep.

I was personally called a traitor who should be shot by a paultard because I refuse to support that village idiot.

Then the other day there was their attack on Sean Hannity.

And their constant attacks against Fox News (despite Fox giving the village idiot the most air time with exception to alex jones)

“Seems rational to me that if you know you voted for someone, but the clerk says there were no votes for that guy, you’d get pretty angry.”

Go read the article again.

One local (who voted for paul) did go and ask about it, and upon the situation being explained to him he went away happy.

What the rest of the supporters did was uncalled for.

On this forum? Who? Link?

Other posters have been told that their son is a traitor who should burn in hell for supporting Paul. On the Hannity thread no less!

To: furquhart
Regardless, that makes your son a traitor and he, like all other traitors, ought to burn in hell.

What exactly is he a traitor for? Personally I think leaving the borders why open is more of a traitor than wanting to pull out of Iraq (although both are stupid).

“Then the other day there was their attack on Sean Hannity.”

Hannity was not attacked. The video is linked to in the link above.

If Hannity was attacked, why did he have a woman walking right behind him?

Was he hiding behind her?

No, he wasn’t attacked. There was a crowd walking behind him, asking for an interview, chanting fox news sucks, which it does, and saying that sean isn’t a great American, which he isn’t.

Another string of excuses.

Havn’t see you condemn a single action of the paultards yet.

“Figures that you’d show up to start making excuses.”

If someone can’t do their job right as an election official, they need to get a new job.

There are few more important to our Republic.

Can you quantify the “excuse?” I made?

There were 40 some calls that petered out after a day.

The only pack mentality I see on FR is the pile-on of frothy Paul haters on these threads.

The whole article indicates that the election officials never double checked the results before reporting them. That’s OK with you?

You’re beginning to sound like a broken record.

Right here, buddy.

“He’ll never do it.”

I did it several posts before hers.

Don’t blame me - work on your reading comprehension.

“The error was corrected with the first inquiry. Nobody has the right to call and harass that woman at home as Ron Paul’s ruffian minions did.”

Facts are irrelevant to him.

He has defended the thuggish actions of other paul supporters.

“Not only that, the next day the Pantagon said that the warning didn’t come from the Iranian ships - it came from the ‘Philippino Monkey,’ some mysterious nutjob with a shortwave who has harassed Gulf shipping for years.”

Got a link?

I linked to it in post #87

FReepers who did duty in the Gulf mention him, and on another thread linked to in that one.

“He’ll never do it.”

Like I said - I did 2 posts before NautiNurse challenged me to.

I have seen neither of you apologize yet for smearing me.
