F#*@ Digg

It got a laugh out of me. I guess people know who Ron Paul is now at least. They applauded when he screamed it. lol

Yeah thanks to stalking Hannity and spamming everything we have a horrible reputation.

whatever dude...we all know all of those hannity listeners (hard core, warmongering, patriot act loving neo-cons) were ready to stop listening to Hannity and convert en masse into ron paul supporters, until...gasp! some enthusiastic ron paul supporters started chanting "fox news sucks" :rolleyes:

In fact, due to the MSM brownout, we don't have much of a reputation at all. Few people even know who Ron Paul is, so why don't you give it a rest already.

[V4Vendetta]

thats pretty funny

You know how many people that scared off? like Fred Thompson supporters who had Ron Paul as a second choice.

They think we're "9/11 was an inside job" mentally unstable Paultards.

I don't care how awful Hannity is. No reporter is going to give a candidate a chance when his supporters make threats against his/her life.

[RonPizzle]

that's awesome. truly grassroots.

:rolleyes:
If we all sat still with our hands clasped they'd still make us out to be kooks.

Everytime people say this or that cause bad press, we actually get good press.

Remember last week when they "Ron Paul!"'d while Rudy was trying to speak? That got us GREAT interviews and Ron Paul answered amazingly.

Free speech is free speech, and anyone that wants to squelch it on these forums needs to understand that freedom is the message.

[McDermit]

hah

[Azprint]

Sad, but then again Colbert is a liberal. Funny- because I bought his book couple hours ago for comedy relief.

Wow, f Digg indeed. Makes my blood boil. Just emailed Digg (feedback@digg.com) to let them know what I think about this.

[Unspun]

This isn't a congressional hearing. This is a mock WGA hearing by Colbert and Stewart writers.

There is no justification you can come up with that will make acting like a moron a good thing. Because it just isn't. It only causes harm to the campaign.

The problem is that it makes you feel good, and that is more important to you than the campaign or the message.

A lot of RP supporters are in it for how it makes them feel, rather than for promoting a message or idea. That's why you see so much of this crap.

[JMann]

Why weren't they tazed, Bro?

First of all, that crowd never threatened Hannity's life. Secondly, I know 9/11 was an inside job. Does that mean I'm mentally unstable? No. Am I a "Paultard?" Why do you buy into these goddamn labels like the smear artist assholes? Is a "Paultard" someone who worries about what the opposition says when they fight for a cause?

We are going for a GOP nomination here and we did have a chance at it once. But acts like this and showing up at straw polls chanting Paul's name is not how you ingratiate yourself with the party faithful. It wasn't just Hannity listeners that saw this video either. This was the biggest grassroots blunder so far and I believe it cost us a lot. Once we go third party, things can loosen up a bit but for now, we need to be playing the part of good little Republicans.

[Agora]

lousy all together.

Colbert isn't a liberal.

[newnews]

don't mind newmedia he is in every post like this talking about some incident harming his churchly group of sheeples to whom there is no conspiracy and the revolution should consist only of blind cheerleading.


I wonder who really does more to hurt this movement than people like this. Trying to make us scared to do anything or to say anything because it might hurt their poor rep.

Like coming on here spouting that 911 wasn't a conspiracy when they haven't even looked at the evidence. They are the ones calling ALL of us kooks more than anyone. And he says this stuff all the time.

Give it a rest already, you hurt the movement more than anyone suggesting everyone take an empty-minded and churchlike approach to taking our nation back.

YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM, "professing" to support RP or not

I understand that clearly. But blowing this incidents wildly out of proportion to their actual signifigance isn't really helping. Are the other candidates' supporters being good little republicans when the call us "paultards" and "paulbots" and all the rest? The unfortunate thing for them is that they're belatedly realizing were not all just a bunch of antwar democrats. Many of us are or were regular Republican voters. It's going to be funny to watch them come crawling for our support if they succeed in derailing ron. Trust me, they need our support if they think the non-Ron republican has any shot in '08.

[Bruce4Ron]

Yeah... I'm with you guys n all but I'm not going to stop shopping at Best Buy.

This is pretty funny. But there is more to it. This is only a clip of an entire segment of the debate. theres like another 10 minutes to it but u have to watch it all and within context.
