I normally dislike this site, but I found this on Google news. Gotta give 'em credit when they're right.

[acptulsa]

No, I don't. Because we stole the idea too. But then, I wouldn't expect them to give the founders any credit--or remember their names.

That said, I do get your point. And I find this semi-defense of us odd. I guess they want to protect their source of material...

They sorta did...


The teabagging controversy grows baggier by the hour, as pretty much every loser in 2006, 2008 and life in general is in a desperate battle to prove they started the tea-bag craze. Forgetting for a moment that the people who “started” the tea-party nonsense were actually greedy Englishmen of the British Empire’s colony of Taxachusetts way back in 1773, this is one thing we are going to totally give to the Paultards. They started it. We were there, man. We were there.

[AcidReign]

The sons of liberty started it, but yes I get what you are saying.

[dannno]

There. Stop arguing. Paultards for the win. Let the teabagging continue, but without Republicans, who were the target. GO RON PAUL.

They say that and still call us Paultards.


Amazing, amazing.

Our traffic seems to be holding steady, but looks like Wonkette is reaching new lows. No wonder they post about us. They want our hits.

...You can imagine the mood at Ron Paul Forums (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=188454) these days. Here’s sexy poster “HOLLYWOOD” complaining about the Corrupt Republican Hijacking of their testicle-sucking idea, in the context of something that happened on The Rachel Maddow Show last night — you know, like when Maddow and her sniveling sidekick “Cocks” MADE UP LIES ABOUT RON PAUL?http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/rpfhollywood.jpg

[torchbearer]

Its a compliment that they troll this forum. I never see them write anything about the Obama Forum.

[Cowlesy]

hahahahahahaha awesome....

and Hollywood, that wasn't even one of your best POST THAT USUALLY GO BOLD AND THEN ALL CAPS DAMN IT@!!@!!!!

[AdamT]

I seriously dislike that site.

[Kludge]

I thought the "AstroTurf" coinage was hilarious. Who coined it originally?


Edit:
Senator Lloyd Bentsen, himself a long-time Washington and Wall Street insider, is credited with coining the term "astroturf lobbying"

I agree! Quite funny, and I think I'll take credit for it to avenge the neocons stealing the tea party idea. ;):D:cool: muah hahahaaaaa!

Damn Damn... Darn Darn... the one time I slip up...UH, it was late, I was tired shopping and prepping for the protests. We have signage ready... I know that's no excuse for not having my CAP LOCK ON and Explanation points readied. But secretly, I'm going through Keyboard ReHab and I presume it's working? :o

Well WONKETTE today... FOX NEWS with Neil Cavuto @ Tomorrow's Tea Party! Literally.... tomorrow!

Who know's what next week will bring? :D

Give Me Liberty... Keep your Debt!

I got a C in math, so I might be wrong, but I don't think this graph makes us look better than Wonkette. :confused:

EDIT: Unless this is a ranking which I think it may be. I'm an idiot. Ignore me.:o

the numbers on the left are ranks, not number of hits.
the lower the number on the 'y' axis, the better.

[Dripping Rain]

LMAO
anyone who wasnt involved with satire before thinks this is a good piece. this is a hitpiece my friend. im sorry to break the news. thats the whole point of satire. to write something and make it appear as if its something else. the problem here is wonkette is a Satire website

I realize that, but people don't write satire about you unless you are either important or a threat.
It is still a compliment.
If we were nothing but a small debate club that no one knew about... they wouldn't bother.
The best reaction is to laugh at it, say thank you... and move on.

Thanks for clearing that up! Wonkette's influence is lol!

Give Me Liberty... Keep your Debt!

Apparently we've made Rachel Maddow on MSNBC (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=188454) twice.
1st night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLJBcnVbYLY
2nd night: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#30218165

As for the Wonktard & Co. I believe you are using our labor and the GREAT PRESTIGE of RonPaulforums.com for private benefit.

It's obvious now that Maddow gets talking points from Ana Marie Cox. Glad we could help you guys out. Now I demand the fruits our labor. A 100% tax on Wonkette/Cox income for the next week should be sufficient. Anything less would be unbecoming of the "Number 1 Liberal blog" (http://2008.weblogawards.org/)

[Athan]

Tell those pathetic assholes: "Welcome to the third annual Ron Paul Tea Party."

[p4poetic]

Isn't Wonkette a satire site?

Ugh, that is the worst line in ALL of the Star Wars franchise. At least some of the bad lines in the prequel trilogy are so bad they're laughable... but to see Alec Guinness reduced to cutesy Jedi sayings after all the great films he had done, well, it's a terrible thing.

But I see your point. :/

I lol'd pretty hard when I first heard "Only sith deal in absolutes".
