Looks like the programmed the site so that any time the name ██ ███ is mentioned, it's automatically blocked out.

That's amazing!

People might want to do that on news and discussion sites all across the Web (say, while posting comments). We usually can't make the black squares, but we could use something like XXX XXXX or *** ****.

I have a message in this thread how to do it..but if you have a Mac, I believe you can copy and paste the black rectangles..

DailyPaul is on Drupal which is the best but most complicated CMS. Takes a lot of work to make a site look and function decently on Drupal but the benefit is a high level of customization. You can pretty much make work anything you can think of with enough tinkering.

I've used a module called String Override on Drupal which will rewrite text into anything you like.

Awesome implementation!

This "Black Out" thing could become the new "Barack the Vote" of last election! The more is spreads, the faster it spreads.

On OS X, you can open up the Character Viewer for language input and select "All Characters"

I found these characters under Symbols -> Geometrical Shapes:

The good thing about the Daily Paul's method of blacking out the name is that when you highlight the black rectangles it actually says Ron Paul. They achieved this with CSS formatting and the use of a black text background. Genius.

Anyone with a website should copy this formatting. Once the BTO moneybomb is over, simply comment out the CSS code and you'll have Ron Paul back in readable text.

RPF could do the same thing pretty easily. The forum software has a bad word filter that can black out a list of words. Just add Ron Paul to it and change the substitution character to █.
