Truther wars? The day Hot Topics was created and was dubbed the truther dungeon? When Wayne went off and started his own forum?

When the server was crashing most evenings because of the load from this forum?

When djloti started ronpaulradio.com? We never thought he'd run off and sell the domain out from under us.

The other spoof forums, like fredthompsonforums, where our people went to lampoon neoconservatism?

Late December/Early January, when all of the cool people were in New Hampshire? The ensuing drama?

The Baltimore debate and the Philly rally, when I was on-site for rpiradio.com with live coverage?

When we were young and innocent?

I do. If you don't, then you fail.
Post your own memories here.

I remember the November 5th drama. I must admit that I was one of the many naysayers. I'm still not entirely sure it was the best idea to associate Ron Paul with that movie. Can't argue with success though.

I remember when the /b/tard came over from 4chan and posted pictures of himself wearing nothing but red chuck taylors.

The Steve Parent thing is really new, lol.

Hemminger going batty is kind of recent, too. I remember George when he was a normal, rational guy. Then he lost his job, that seemed to do a number on his mental state.


I remember when Hemminger broadcast Leno via cellphone during the taping on rpiradio, hours before it aired. That was classic.

Please explain?

You used a contraction. In the English language, not only are contractions generally frowned upon by Academia, but also must be denoted through use of an apostrophe where the words "merge". i.e. can't (can not), won't (will not), don't (do not).

We also do not capitalize common nouns in modern English. This was not the case many years ago, when the English would capitalize words of importance. We now generally only capitalize proper nouns and words at the beginning of a sentence.

Ron Paul's cyberbrownshirts.
In response to my blog poking fun at Ron Paul in a fairly gentle way, his supporters have poured out from under their bridges, posted my address and phone number on their websites, reported on my planned movements (they've let supporters know I'll be at SheVaCon) and have vowed to contact my superintendant to get me fired.

http://disinter.wordpress.com/2007/06/30/huge-turn-out-for-ron-paul-in-iowa/



June 30, 2007

It appears that more than 1,000 Ron Paul supporters showed up for a rally that occured after the Iowa Christian Alliance/Iowans for Tax Relief candidates forum, which refused to invite Dr. Paul, ended.

Not bad considering only about 600 showed up, out of over 1,200 expected, for the big government, war monger forum which included 6 candidates.

UPDATE: Other hands-on accounts found here and here.

UPDATE 2: Press release from the Ron Paul campaign:

Ron Paul Speaks to 1,000 in Iowa

DES MOINES, IOWA – Presidential candidate Ron Paul held a rally today celebrating life and liberty at the Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines, Iowa. The event was held immediately after and next door to a Republican candidates forum sponsored by the Iowa Christian Alliance and Iowans for Tax Relief.

Dr. Paul was the only GOP candidate excluded from the forum, so his campaign organized an event of its own. Despite being planned in less than a week, Dr. Paul’s event singlehandedly outdrew the other forum and its six participating candidates by several hundred attendees.

“Today, Ron Paul demonstrated how deeply his message of freedom and limited government is resonating across the nation,” said campaign manager Lew Moore.

Dr. Paul, addressing a packed room, received thunderous applause many times and as well as several standing ovations. Observers believe that this event was the biggest rally for a Republican candidate in Iowa during this campaign cycle.

“Ron Paul has generated more grassroots excitement and support than any other candidate in the race,” continued Moore. “The campaign is building on this momentum around the country as we drive toward the nomination.”

While I have always enjoyed the forums, the lasting memories of this campaignfor me involve my local meetup group, my trip to NH with OLFD, and seeing Dr Paul in Gettysburg a couple of weeks ago. I hope in twenty years I can look back on this time in my life and feel like it was the beginning of something substantially good for this nation.

it was very bizarre. People who had not been there were freaking out claiming some sort of neocon infiltration. But when those people finally attended an event they realized things weren't nerfarious and actually were worth protecting... leaving those who hadn't been yet to suspect massive brainwashing....until those people attended an event.....

Then she left (or was fired.)

Oh, and for nostalgia's sake: Llepard's USA Today ad and it's creation. Watching the donation widget on 11/5 and 12/16. Going onto ronpaulcharts daily and making sure we were beating Huck. Hunter, Tancredo and especially Giuliani dropping out.

Ahh, sweet memories.

Giuliani dropping out was one of the coolest moments that came to pass.

I also recall much bitching about those of us who dared talk about 'conspiracy' yet very few were willing to say the New World Order conspiracy was bullshit (and Ron himself is one who openly discusses it and his solutions for stopping them).

Randy owning some Jesuit troll, Diana. And anyone else who got snippy or whiny or seemed to not genuinely support Ron. :P

Wars with and against moderators and rules here.

Cat herding.

Physically being there when Ron held his alternate event when that tax forum excluded him, our crowd UTTERLY DWARFING all the others combined. That was amazing.

Ron taking everyone's lunch in debates, shitting in the lunchboxes, and returning it to the owners with a PostIt note reading, "pwned."

Ron farting on Bernanke on national TV several times, always to cheers and controversy.

One word: BILLIONAIRE.:mad::D:):rolleyes::p

For about 2 months I posted on both ronpaulforum and ronpaulforums
Then basically decided this was the better place for information.

The only time i went back to ronpaulforum was when this forum would go down.
And that used to be everytime there was a debate or streamed rally.
Ugh, the frustration.
New people take it for granted that this site stays up like it does...

Then came the chatroom! You should see that place during a debate!

in all fairness, the original ron paul radio chat was where it was at.

yeh, but we were using that IRC way before it was used for ron paul radio.,
I think it was MDH that hooked it up for us in advance, so when this site went down we could still chat.

I couldn't understand how it all worked, but it was pulling in from many different channels or something like that...

alright... i found this picture that sums up at least 25% of the posts on this forum (and incorporates video games!) and the campaign in general.

just substitute mario party with republican party and you've got a match... or the mainstream media, that works too!

And then you have that high-tech device fox news uses to gauge what people think during a debate:

After the Whole Saul Anadouchebag thing, Mark Levin asked his audience to call Ron Paul and tell him he couldn't win. So we called in and literally shut down the last hour of his entire radioprogram, lol, He just played patriotic music and would quip, "keep calling libs" once in a while. Rofl, I loved that.

Maybe, but my motivation is more that of wanting to alienate newcomers. Every Johnny-Come-Lately and his six cousins seem to want in on this movement, but really, it belongs to us old-timers. The newbies should be paying us a tithing. In blood.

You do that and you lose people to the message. Not everyone is going to agree with Ron Paul on every issue. But it's about promoting the Bill of Rights to not be infringed upon.

A kind supporter posted me that USA Today clipping.

Along with tea bags, stickers, and various gems.

They adorn my Den walls, and encourage debate amongst my Aussie citizens.

Thank you Ron Paul, for opening my mind...

If they haven’t already been posted...

I remember when we busted the Cal Thomas website admin for tweaking the website’s poll results.

I remember the Spam food drive in SC.

I remember when a brilliant supporter recognized early on that many RP supporters had the maturity and discipline of juvenile chimps. That visionary created this under-appreciated thread:
