They were not looking for an interview.
Doesn’t surprise me one bit.
Another Ron Paul ruffian supports harassing phone calls to the woman's home. Have you no shame or conscience?
What we need is somebody with the domestic agenda of Ron Paul and the foreign policy agenda of Duncan Hunter.
You are a troll, pure and simple. We eat trolls here. Yum. Yum.
Well, I’m not really a Ron Paul guy. He’s not at the bottom of my list, but pretty close. This is the kind of stuff that happens everytime a politician, journalist, or other public figure does something dumb, screws up, or pulls a fast one. It’s just to be expected. Hardly news.
I don’t read any death threats there. It’s just a bunch of blabbermouths venting their disapproval. If there really were death threats, you’d think they’d take it a little more seriously than they did.
She got one dopey death threat from an out of state number and was frightened?
I hope she stays indoors during windy days. The poor dear might blow away.
*********
How cavalier of you.
“The only one smearing you is you.”
Hohum
“You never did tell us how many death threat phone calls your family would take before they wouldn’t be considered dopey.”
She got one from an out of state stranger and I condemned it.
If I got one call like that I’d disregard it.
“You support a mob chasing Sean Hannity for blocks, then attempt to smear him further by saying he was hiding behind a woman’s skirt.”
They were’nt “chasing” him. There was no running involved. If they wanted to “catch” him they could have.
If he and his Rudy supporting buddies were in danger, why was the woman walking BEHIND them all?
Either they felt there was no threat, or he hid behind the woman. Do you have another explanation?
It wasn’t a mob. It was a crowd. They weren’t chasing him, they were following and harassing him verbally.
The initial post said people threw rocks and glass at him.
Do you still assert that?
Even Hannity didn’t!
“They were not looking for an interview.”
What do you think they wanted to do, physically assault him?
That’s because nobody takes him or his supporters seriously, because they defend behaviour like this.
It might be okay by stormfront standards, but it doesn’t belong in the Grand Old Party. Take the brownshirt tactics elsewhere.
“It might be okay by stormfront standards, but it doesn’t belong in the Grand Old Party. Take the brownshirt tactics elsewhere.”
I just read a thread where pro-life protesters were haranguing Rudy - and cheered on.
What tactic do you disapprove of here? The one death threat? Everyone who likes Paul condemned it on this thread. For all I know it was made by a Paul hater to make him look bad. Who knows? Maybe a Dem looking to keep antiwar independents from supporting him? I have no idea.
Paul said of stormfront etc, to stop supporting him, they aren’t helping him.
I am a Jew and I have responded to Pauls message of limited government. I don’t think he’s a racist or antisemite. Being lumped in with Stormfront is pretty offensive, and really silly.
THere were about 50 some odd phone calls made, most in the first day.
The election officials published the results without ever double checking them.
They DID deserve to get called on it.
Will you agree with that point, if not the tactics used?
Who’s defending it? I’m just saying that she over-reacted.
You aren't fooling anyone but yourself.
The initial post said people threw rocks and glass at him. Do you still assert that?
Cite the source post where I asserted rocks and bottles were thrown.
Don't let facts get in the way of your smear campaign. The act of posting false messages is called trolling--you said it yourself. We eat trolls here.
Oh please! Give it a rest. Troll somewhere else.
Thanks for the ping, and I’m shocked. I would have expected them to be in front of her house in force. I sympathize with the town clerk. Mistakes happen. And fascists take advantage when they can. Off topic, according to some reports, Paul has been using the subscription lists from the racist newsletters he knew nothing about for fundraising. I’m sure that’s not true, probably a media conspiracy, we’ll see in a few days. I understand we have more newsletter releases to look forward to as well. I’m amazed the dems are holding fire this long.
They weren’t chasing Rudy down the streets, throwing things at him, now were they? Paulbots have been stalking Rudy for months, they try to destroy anybody in their way.
They didn’t “publish” anything - it was a clerical error which meant nothing, this reaction is non-defensible. He’s STILL the offical stormfront candidate, and the loon accepts from Neo-Nazis.
Please take your nutjob third party.
“You aren’t fooling anyone but yourself.”
If they were being chased, why didn’t Sean and his big burly male friends put themselves between the woman and the alleged mob?
“Cite the source post where I asserted rocks and bottles were thrown.”
THE INITIAL POST. You know, the actual story posted.
Not YOUR initial post.
Have you criticized the poster for being incorrect about what happened and trying to gin up hysteria?
“Don’t let facts get in the way of your smear campaign. The act of posting false messages is called trolling—you said it yourself. We eat trolls here.”
Go back to the thread. It’s in the actual post. I didn’t make anything up.
I initially did on that thread based on comments people who were chasing Hannity said. This was later confirmed by another radio host who was there and witnessed it. He didn't say rocks or bottles, but he did say things were being thrown.
