Ok, we have all heard them:
Ron Paul is:
crazy
a nut
loony
nuts
on and on.
Irrational, name-callers tend to bring out the worse in Ron Paul supporters.
There's really no reason to respond to name-calling in return.
When we call the opposition names in return -- it accomplishes nothing and makes Dr. Paul's supporters look as bad as the original name-caller.
If you MUST respond, here's a twist -- keep this simple sentence/tactic in mind:
-------------
"I once thought Ron Paul was pretty much an IDIOT,
until I did a lot of research and decided I WAS THE ONE THAT WAS AN IDIOT!
I agree with about 95% of what Ron Paul says now."
-------------
You can substitute any insult of choice into the IDIOT spot.
You're not attacking the name-caller.
You're not calling the attacker IGNORANT (I hate that tactic whenever I see it)
You can use this tactic for just about any situation -- turn the focus on yourself, and automatically, you're not name-calling in return -- but you can get your message across.
KEEP UP THE FIGHT -- respectfully!
PS When you use this tactic, it opens the door for you to discuss ANY subject you want to bring out -- Just say, "for example" and state a misconception, then state how Dr. Paul's sees it. Great for "changing the subject" too!
