On the very top are links to a Predator Drone attack killing US Troops and Pawlenty announcing he is running for President.

Right under that is an article by Ron Paul. The link comes from InfoWars, which frustrates me because Drudge almost always links RP stories to that site. The comments that follow are arguments between 9-11 truthers and a handful of white supremacists. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I am happy drudge links to Ron, less that the links are so often infowars.

Also, I love what Dr. P is saying in the link, but wow he sounds bad. The sound quality isn't great, and his rhythm sounds like he is trying to read a script written in poor handwriting.

Still, good publicity.

Look, I'll be the first to say I appreciate all the links Ron and Rand are getting on Drudge lately. I just don't understand why a Pawlenty Run links to CNN's Political Ticker while Ron links go to infowars 75% of the time. Why didn't he just link to Ron's congressional site where the same speech could probably be found?

Well I think linking to his congressional site would make it seem like Drudge was just creating news, whereas linking to another news website (even if it is infowars) is more typical for the rest of drudge's content.

Prob the best would be if we could get Foxnews to post the story and then Drudge to link to it.

Because Drudge is a heavy reader of infowars.com

I saw it more mainstream places than either. I'll see if I can find one.

Here is is at the Hill. I'm submitting it to drudge. http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-a-budget/155219-the-nanny-state-cant-last

However, drudge may just LIKE infowars...

Not to take Lew for granted, but isn't it preferable to show support for Drudge linking to our guy? Much more high profile website. IMO, we should make an effort to link to the most mainstream, popular website and read their links about RP. Gotta encourage them to keep publicizing him.

I don't really like how it appears Ron Paul wrote the commentary for infowars.com. Look at the title header:


The Nanny State Can’t Last

It kind of looks like he is penning columns for infowars.com.

The point was Drudge should link to Lew, not to infowars, for the content.

Come on guys, one of the biggest movers in the media is linking to our guy. Just the headline gets the name Ron Paul into people's heads. He seems to be grooming Ron Paul as a sub plot on his website, if Ron makes a move he will be top news throughout the election season.

Yeah you're right...But I'd bet it was printed with permission...Pretty sure Lew does the same with Pat Buchanan's articles.
