Jeff Cherry Disables YouTube Comments

[RonPaulFanInGA]

I don't really blame him, they were overly negative. But it seems kind of peculiar to me that it closes right after he gets his one and only positive comment on that YouTube video.

[Sandra]

If he can't take the heat.....

[ClayTrainor]

he claims he's received death threats...

probably just trolls posing as RP supporters, to give us a bad name.

[LibertyEagle]

Well, there were plenty of RP supporters that acted like horses' asses. I wish people would figure out that all that does is make us look bad to people viewing the comments. It sure isn't going to attract them to our message.

I wish I could deny this :(

If our approach was "Good Luck mr. Cherry" instead of "Go fuck yourself mr. Cherry", we'd be a lot more intimidating.

[Paulitical Correctness]

Surely those horse's asses understand the concept of blowback...they are RP supporters afterall.

Guess not. /sigh

I wish the idiots would leave our movement. For every vote they bring in, they probably turn away 10+ potentials.

From a peace movement nontheless. Some people will say anything.

This movement is FAR more than a "peace movement". I can only speak for myself, but, if someone ever attacks us or is an imminent threat, I won't be too peaceful AT ALL.

I agree. Trust me. On my property you have to get by my security system. Past two 100 pound dogs (hehe hope you like German Shepherds). Then the owner who has guns.

When I use peace in the name of this movement it is a suggestion that we are not going to take the first swing. My dad told me to always hit back twice as hard afterwards. And that's how I view it. It is still a position of peace. You just aren't going to take any crap.

Exactly...That is a point that needs to be seen and recognized by all.

[Bossobass]

I think our judgmental propensities are best served when directed at people other than Ron Paul supporters.

After all, no Ron Paul supporter has:

Stolen trillions of taxpayer dollars to give to criminals.
Illegally invaded a Sovereign Nation for invented reasons, killing 1,000,000 civilians.
Destroyed our currency.
Etc., etc., etc.

If this Putz chooses to run on a platform that consists of slandering Ron Paul, he'd better buy a shit screen.

As far as claims of death threats and the like, I really wish we'd stop conducting kanagaroo court trials and convictions of nameless Ron Paul supporters in these forums.

exactly ,so far it is all hearsay. show me one ron paul supporter that has been proven guilty of any of the suggested charges?

my bet is it is neo-cons posing as ron paul supporters, typical hannity/troll crap

Not only a shit screen, but a thicker hide.

This is the "snowballing Hannity" shit all over again.

Our opposition will start a war, based on nothing but lies, kill a million people and still wrap themselves in sanctimony and righteousness. They will build an empire and bankrupt whole nations. They will assassinate, torture and murder without a moment's hesitation.

Politely worded, well organized letters of grievance are laughed at.:mad:

[Conza88]

This movement is FAR more than a "peace movement". I can only speak for myself, but, if someone ever attacks us or is an imminent threat, I won't be too peaceful AT ALL.

Let's start with the most obvious.

YouTube - Glenn Beck implies Ron Paul supporters are terrorists (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rc4OJWH1nE)

This was Round 1 of "We're the enemy".

Now there is a lull in the mainstream media war propaganda = Obama is the new dawn of HOPE and CHANGE, can't tarnish that with truthful facts, that he's the exact same if not worse than Bush on Terrorism.

Wait till Round 2 of "We're the enemy". Then again you'll (general) see where his loyalty lies.

NEO-CON

New - Con.

Don't fall for it people. :)

[Conza88]

Wait for 1984... :p

[BlackTerrel]

Why would anyone be excited about this?

This is the kind of RP supporter attack mode that turned a lot of people off. This is some random regular dude who wants to run for Congress. He's no one and would have gotten no attention. Instead of ignored he's spammed and attacked and apparently even got "death threats". Very brave of them of coure.

Wow go Ron Paul supporters :rolleyes:

Don't be a collectivist tool now.

Name names and describe actions of individuals.

I laughed at the guy. And if I was in the same room, I'd LOL then go smile, wish him the best of luck. And think, wow, this is the best the establishment has got? (Obviously he's not from the establishment, which is what makes it such a joke) He's an absolute no-body.

Now lets wait to see if the media makes him into somebody. Whats the deal though? How exactly is he going to finance his campaign? lol

Don't be going into DEBT now teacher...

[He Who Pawns]

this guy is a joke. he's not even worthy of shining Ron's shoes.

[BlackTerrel]

Clearly it was done anonymously Conza88

But I don't see the point in cheering that this guy had to disable comments because he was being harassed.

I saw plenty of attacks on his policies. Just remember, he did attack Ron Paul's credibility first. I think he deserved all the flak he received.

Uhhh, ok..

[dannno]

http://www.cherryforcongress.com/YouTube_Response.html

That's bologna.

He said in there that he has read Ron Paul's book, "A Foreign Policy of Freedom" but I don't believe that for a second. Anybody who has actually read that book and paid attention has seen exactly how our foreign policy works and could not possibly continue to subscribe to the neocon foreign policy.

I can't wait until Ron Paul creams this guy.

[MRoCkEd]

I've grown to truly appreciate the political party system that creates what is to be a healthy and vigorous debate in our country. I have been saddened when we resort to behavior that incites hatred and contempt due to our political differences. We are a civilized society that usually finds ways to disagree without being disagreeable. That is why the recent verbal attack on me by the followers of Ron Paul after the posting of my first YouTube video is very disturbing.
Discussions on differences over the interpretation of the Constitution, policy positions, and the future of the United States and in particular the people of the Texas 14th Congressional district, can and should be held with respect. I do not believe that Ron Paul would support the profanities, threats, and name calling that I have received over the past several days since posting the video. Please honor the process of democracy and debate.
For those of you who may be truly interested in what I believe and support, read my policy statements with an open mind. Even if you disagree, you will at least have participated with a modicum of decorum befitting adults in our society.
I do want to address one specific accusation that I have received from many of you. That is in regards to my knowledge of where Ron Paul stands on his positions and philosophy. I have read "Revolution - A Manifesto" and his book of writings on Foreign Policy. I have read multiple op-eds he has written and listened to him many times in interviews. I have read the Mises Institute literature on Austrian Economics. As hard as that may be for some of you to believe, I simply do not believe in a majority of his positions, particularly in regards to national security and foreign policy, nor in his method of fixing the monetary crisis.
In conclusion, I'm not looking to change your mind if you are a Ron Paul supporter. I simply wish that you will respect the democratic process.
hah
Our founders cherished liberty, not democracy.

[ClayTrainor]

It's not surprising that he's under this delusion like 95% of America.

Because you KNOW for a fact it was a ron paul supporter.
Your insinuation is insulting.

Maybe it was you sending him death threats?

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Why didn't this guy run as a democrat? He sounds like one. At least then he'd have maybe a 2% chance instead of none.

The democrats in TX-14 didn't even field a candidate this past year, and there is a chance Cherry would be the only one to file; ensuring the nomination. Then he could hope that Obama and the Washington democrats fix the country and become extremely popular and he's swept into Congress in a wave of American good cheer towards democrats. Not likely, but not impossible.

What is for all intents and purposes impossible is for a no-name high school teacher with no previous political experience and no money beating a popular incumbent in a primary and who has millions according to the last FEC filing (http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/HSRefreshCandList.do?category=disH&stateName=TX&congressId=14).

The last democrat (Shane Sklar) to run against Paul lost by 20 percentage points (60-40) and the last republican (Chris Peden) by 42 percentage points (71-29). So the numbers say he'd fare better as a democrat too.

My Email to Cherry...

Subject: PLEASE run against Ron Paul! Don't give up!!

I hope you still choose to run against Ron Paul. Doing so will only draw more national attention to this true Patriot of the America we believe in, the one created in the spilt blood of our founders and framers. Your opposition will only allow Ron paul to further highlight how far the Republican party has drifted from Conservative values. One thing is for sure, you'll lose twice, first in the battle of ideas, and then at the polling booth. In the end though, you will help our 2012 bid for the presidency by keeping so much focus on Ron Paul. So thank you, and please run a very competitive race. There's nothing that will draw out Ron Paul's supporters like the illusions of grandeur of a competitor in full swing.

Good luck :)

We'll money-bomb Cherry out of the primaries. No need to worry about him.

I don't even know for a fact that this whole world isn't some elaborate computer matrix developed by aliens in order to harvest our bodies. But it probably isn't.

I don't see why we've had to have so much written about a high school teacher who makes a youtube video. And I don't know why a thread about how he closed the comments due to harassment has a big smilie next to it and people all excited.

This thread just makes us look like bullies. Considering the real issues we have presented to us it is unnecessary and counter productive.

[dannno]

He didn't "just" make a youtube video, he's running against Ron Paul for his congressional seat.

It's because people who go up against Ron Paul don't know what they are going up against before it happens. Then they react like all supporters should have some moral ground when it is completely irrellevent because the issue here is his ideas and Ron Paul's ideas. The fact is this guy is a total douchebag. I've been listening to him spew his crap for months. If he doesn't respect us that is really OK with me because apparently he has looked into our movement and ideas and rejected them in favor of authoritarian, socialist and militaristic rule.


Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

[NYgs23]

Have you ever noticed how whenever some guy wants to shield himself from harsh criticism, he always claims he's received death threats? Who are all these people sending "death threats"? I've never seen such a thing, have you?

[ihsv]

Has he published any so-called "death threats?"

Why doesn't he turn them over to the police?

[Imperial]

Sheesh, I am sure he knows people probably will not follow through. He didn't publish anything like that. This isn't some official press release or anything like that, rather I heard it from people who speak directly to him. Take his official response to the Ron Paul supporter outcry on his website rather than the death threats if you want to gauge his response to Paulite outcry. I had only tossed out that point to remind us all to control our passions, wasn't trying to indict anyone(especially since I would have no idea who it is and he probably wouldn't either considering email is generally anonymous.)

Stick to the ideas rather than the people.

Hello everyone, i just thought i would tell you some good news coming out of the 14th congressional district. A district that has been scarred by the remarks and non leadership and devotion by Ron Paul.The good news is my father Jeff Cherry will be running against Ron Paul for the 2010 congressional seat that will be up for grabs. If you would like to see my dads credentials and stances on issues that are facing our country today his website is http://www.Cherryforcongress.com.Please take the time and read some of what my father has written on his website and id be intereted in what you think.

Take Care, Corbin Cherry

I look forward to when Paul wins.

As much as I would like Ron Paul to win, I wouldn't take it for granted. Hurricane Ike may come back to haunt RP. Plenty of people in his district are upset at RP for having voted against the federal aid they felt they were entitled to.

If that's the case then I really wonder how well his own constituents understand his message. Seems they would have a good grasp if they've elected him 11 times. Im sure Cherry and whatever other wanna-be candidate will try that angle but I doubt it will work. The irony is that then RP can point to his nearly $100million in earmarks (that he voted against also) to his constituents as the counter argument. He provides for his district while still maintaining his personal principles. Somehow I doubt Cherry will actually run against him. Just a hunch but after watching his video, he doesn't seem very electable. The GOP establishment needs a SUPER PERFECT candidate if they are going to oust RP. Cherry sure ain't it.
