This is one of the dumbest threads on FR, ever.

1) Since when do glorified blog/ezine posts make it to front page news? Hello, topic abuse. The Radars top stories are about Gloria Beckham vomiting and about Lindsey Lohan.

2) The website http://ronpaulapalooza.com/ doesn’t list any bands and in fact says the date is tentative.

3) The Paul campaign has nothing to do with this event. If you can prove it does, call the FEC, because they will fine him and and he will be history. Of course, it’s much easier to smear him by just alluding to it. Same as the accusations of him taking Soros money. If you can prove it - call the FEC. Soros will go to jail. It’s much easier to smear though, isn’t it?

4) He said in the last debate that he doesn’t want truthers etc to support him, because he doesn’t believe what they do and their support doesn’t help him.

Don't bother with the Mods. If someone heard a bunch of teens gossiping about Paul at a mall, it'll get posted here in breaking news.

Hmmm...but that doesn't mean it's not true, does it? Radar also has stories about Huckabee's South Carolina appearances in the top stories list, and CNN, Fox News, ABC Radio and my local newspaper all run stories about both Huckabee and Lindsay Lohan. Strike one!

The website http://ronpaulapalooza.com/ doesn’t list any bands and in fact says the date is tentative.

Radar says they received a notice. If they did not do so and they publlish a retraction, I will ask the mods to pull this thread. If the mods don't pull it, I will post an notice of the retraction to everyone who posted to this thread.

But baby, I don't think there will be a retracttion! Strike two!

Right the Paul campaign has nothing to do with this...or with Don Black's donation...or with racist newsletters (the guy's qaulified to be commander in chief, but he can't read a newsletter he published for five years)...or with any of these. Strike three!

He said in the last debate that he doesn’t want truthers etc to support him, because he doesn’t believe what they do and their support doesn’t help him.

Their money does, and so does money raised at Stormfront. More to the point, however, if he dislikes the Troofers so much, why did it take him four appearances on the Alex Jones show to figure it out, including one on October 5th where Jones said "we're your base here" and Paul did nothing to dissuade that persception? Strike Four!

It’s much easier to smear though, isn’t it?

I and almost every other person on FR who opposes Paul talked issues from the beginning, particularly about the war that Dr. Paul would like to lose in Iraq. We were smeared as haters of the Constitution because we wanted to kill Al Qaidaa there, and just a coupple of days ago I was accused of being on the payroll of the Giuliani campaign since early last year even though I have never posted anything in support of him, and much that attacks him. I'm not whining (whining's for liberals and Paulites) but those are the facts. Strike five!

This has gone beyond the pale.

I cannot believe that I am seeing conservatives bashing and trashing a candidate whose platform consists of basic conservative values. We all don’t agree with “all” of his platform, but we agree with a good percentage of the values he is bringing to the forefront.

Gee, I wonder who these kooks and nuts voted for before Ron Paul. You can safely bet that they were not voting for a Democrat. OMG, they might have voted for your candidate!

All of these “hit pieces” are coming from “kooky” left fringe sources. Doesn’t that tell you something?

Truth be told, I don’t believe Ron Paul really believes he can become the President of the United States; but he is bringing a lot of good conservative issues to the forefront, that sadly, some of the frontrunners are ignoring. I ask you, what is wrong with that?

It appears to me that many are buying into the left wing’s campaign to suppress the Conservative issues that Ron Paul is talking about.

That said, there must be posters over at KOS and DU laughing their butts off at some of the hippocrites on these and the rest of the Ron Paul threads.

I no not support any candidate at the moment, but can’t we have a reasonable debate about issues, instead of who’s supporting who?

I've never heard Ron Paul disavow support from Troofers.

What he's said-when pressed, as he was in the Reason interview-is that he rejects the ridiculous conspiracy theories they espouse.

He didn't return the balance of the contribution his campaign received from Alex Jones, but only the portion Jones supposedly overpaid.

He still hasn't given a satisfactory explanation of what's preventing him from returning the contribution made by SF founder Don Black.

You can say his campaign isn't directly involved in this proposed fundraiser, but that only raises the question, "who runs his campaign?"

If you can't control the content of a newsletter, or something as manageable as a presidential campaign with virtually no paid staff, how do you expect us to trust you with a large, federal bureaucracy?

Is he going to have to address-or as is his wont, not address and dissimulate about-Guy Fawkes re-election fundraisers as POTUS?
