Have you ignored the other eye witness that things were being thrown or is he just part of the anti Paul conspiracy too?
“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.”
No one threw anything at Sean. I haven’t seen him assert as much, and the 2 videos don’t show it.
“They didn’t “publish” anything - it was a clerical error which meant nothing,”
The newspaper published the incorrect results.
“He’s STILL the offical stormfront candidate, and the loon accepts from Neo-Nazis.”
His argument is that if they want to give him money, he’ll spend it for good - if he gave it back, they could do evil with it. Reasonable. I don’t care, and I hate stormfront.
“Please take your nutjob third party.”
If he did run 3rd party vs liberals like Rudy, Huckabee, Romney, McCain, I would vote for him over them.
I could vote for Fred even with his many warts, still.
The GOP is going to have a hard time winning come November. Do you really want to be in the business of chasing away long time party activists?
“Have you ignored the other eye witness that things were being thrown or is he just part of the anti Paul conspiracy too?”
Link?
What kind of asinine straw man logic is this to refute the video of a mob chasing Hannity and crew for blocks? You and Reality should get to know each other one of these days. Sadly, you would need to leave your tin foil hat at home.
Go back to the Libertarian Party, you’re not a Republican.
Vote for Hillary for all I care, there’s nothing “reasonable” about Ron Paul. He belongs in an asylum.
“What kind of asinine straw man logic is this to refute the video of a mob chasing Hannity and crew for blocks? You and Reality should get to know each other one of these days. Sadly, you would need to leave your tin foil hat at home.”
It’s a good question.
If I were with a woman and was bing chased, I would protect her. There was no threat.
You are deflecting. There was no threat.
“Go back to the Libertarian Party, you’re not a Republican.
I’ve never been a member, I don’t like the party.
I’m pro-life and support border security. Two issues that are very important to me.
There’s room for Rudy but not little l libertarians?
I have no sympathy for raving Paulistas, but I also have no sympathy for any govt. functionary who handles our democratic process in such a slovenly manner. There are mistakes and then there are mistakes, but to drop all of a candidate’s votes, no matter which candidate it may be, demonstrates a slovenly approach to the work involved. 31 votes here and 31 votes there and pretty sure we might be talking about real numbers, at least in a small town setting.
His supporters behave like anarchists, not liberal Republicans. They were trying to use the GOP to advance their loopy agenda and that loon is their master.
They call Rudy a “facist”, but we both know who the REAL facists support.
You are a bold faced hypocrite. You support the harassing deluge of calls and emails at home and at work to the woman in the story, then say you would defend a woman who was being chased.
How convenient that you determine when death threats are dopey, mobs aren't mobs, and harassment is deserved. Did these powers of interpretation come with your tin foil hat kit?
Has Paul said there was fraud?
Not his supporters,
Not his ghost writers,
Not his staff,
Not his neighbors,
Not his campaign,
But Dr Ron Paul himself?
Anything goes if you’re on their outside of their cult.
I am convinced that vote fraud played no role in this result. Rumors of vote fraud were investigated, and in the end they proved to be the result of errors in early media reports that were not reflected in the official numbers. In one notable case, when a campaign staff member contacted an individual who had on the evening of January 8 claimed that his vote had not been counted, the person said that he had made a mistake and that the next morning the error in reporting on a newspaper website had been corrected both in the media and -- most importantly -- in the official tally.
At least the official campaign knows the difference between an error in media reporting versus official numbers.
Adding an old link to an article that was written in 1988:

40 phone calls...
This was before my time here, but let me know what you think about it compared to the few dozen calls this election worker got.
The 2nd to last paragraph is the most interesting. Obviously I don’t think this entire forum is kooky or I wouldn’t be here. I don’t participate in any other online political forums. So don’t try to paint me as thinking FR is loony, as this happened in 2001. However - read the article and the comments at the link. Let me know how they compare.

The Moscow Times Goes After FR re Mia Lawrence(my title)

“Changing the tone.” “Bringing a new era of civility and respect to American politics.” “Moving forward from past rancor to an era of unity and understanding.”
Such are the stirring themes sounded by the good Christian president now “setting the tone” in Washington. George W. Bush hardly steps out of the White House without folding his hands in humble prayer, asking God to “bring us together.”
But in this, as in so many other respects, Mr. Bush seems to have a unique understanding of the words he employs. Last week, for example, his respectful tone-changing White House unleashed a vociferous assault — including threats of physical violence — against the young mother who had the temerity to call the police when the president’s daughters were having their illegal booze-up in an Austin restaurant last month.
Bush aides dropped heavy hints to the press that the restaurant’s management included “liberals” out to “get” the president’s offspring, The Washington Post reports. That was the signal to unleash the Republican attack dogs at FreeRepublic.com, the prominent right-wing hatesite that pounces hungrily on anyone the Bush clan identifies as an enemy.
Within hours of the White House spin shot, FreeRepublic was orchestrating an Internet assault on Mia Lawrence, the bar employee who called the police when Jenna Bush presented a patently fake ID. The “Freepers” posted Lawrence’s address, date of birth, driver’s license number, physical description — and information about her infant child, the American Political Journal reports. They also posted details from a personal bankruptcy claim that Lawrence filed earlier this year, including all the dish about her huge medical bills.
Freepers suggested that this info be used for “identity theft,” running up massive debts in Lawrence’s name. Also suggested was constant surveillance of Lawrence and her child. “Take pictures and post them on the Internet. Let her know that her picture is being posted. Make this chick paranoid,” said one Bush supporter. Other helpful suggestions: “Go to the bar and pour drinks on her.” “Pour acid all over the bar.” “Phone police repeatedly to make phony reports of suspicious activities at her home.” Others said conservatives should storm the restaurant and “set the place on fire while fully occupied.”
By week’s end, of course, it was revealed that the White House smear was, as usual, a lie: The owner of the restaurant was in fact a donor to the Republican Party. But no apologies were offered — and Lawrence’s details were still whizzing through the ether, helpless prey to any spin-maddened madman with a modem. God help her.

more Filipino Monkey Man.... from 1988.
He’s been around a while.
Lol, quoting from “The Moscow Times” now?
(sigh)
All together again...don’t point to bad behaviour to justify your own.
