This (http://fredthompsonforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37) Fred forum used to be a spoof which seemed to support Dr. Ron Paul.

In the past:

* Some new members who obviously supported Fred were quickly chased away.
* The typical comments ranged from hilarious to sick and disturbing.
* The point was to 'expose' Neo-con stupidity by acting just like them.
* A couple of older members also openly supported Ron Paul.

The place was not well suited for the average person, but it was fun for occasional, unusual humor.

Suddenly:

Fred Thompson's Forum Suddenly Decides To Support Fred (http://fredthompsonforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37) :confused:

A very strange piece of Cyberspace indeed.

The tag-line for the forum is 'Hope For North America', but Fred himself denies ever hearing of the plans for a North American Union.

* It used to be a blatant spoof which bashed Neo-cons, or...
* Enough Ron Paul supporters were using the forum to draw the attention of Wired magazine, while the forum owner somehow didn't notice.

I don't support deception, but did find it funny how some of the 'fake' Neo-cons are almost exactly like real ones. :p

OK, fine.
Maybe it's a mix of both.

IS THIS A FRED THOMPSON FORUM?
The word from the Hannity.com forum Mods and posters there is that this forum is really a Ron Paul Forum in disguise. If this is in fact true, please be honest and do not waste the time of we, the Fred Thompson followers. I personally, have seen no sign that this is a Ron Paul website.

Thank you.

No, there is no way that site was ever anything but a spoof.

Either way the Admin suddenly made some extreme moves today (my first post in this thread links to that section)


MESSAGE TO RON PAUL SUPPORTERS
"THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE! THIS IS AN EXECUTIVE DECISION I AS THE ADMINISTRATOR AM MAKING!"

POSTINGS ABOUT RON PUAL OR POSTINGS BY RON PAUL SUPPORTERS WILL BE DELETED AND THE USER BANNED.

I ALLOWED SOME OF YOU TO POST HERE IN HOPES THAT YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT FRED IS THE ONLY CONSERVATIVE THAT HAS A CHANCE AT WINNING. WITHOUT FRED WE WILL BE STUCK WITH A DEMOCRAT, AND YES, RUDY , HUCKABEE AND MITT ARE DEMOCRATS. FRED IS OUR ONLY HOPE.

RON PAUL SUPPORTERS ARE HEREBY BANNED.

I used to agree it was a (sometimes funny, often sick) spoof, but now Ron Paul supporters are (supposedly) banned. :confused:

I'm not trying to be the bad guy here, but, do you have proof that this site was started by RP supporters? If not, you shouldn't go around stating that it is. We already have a lot of heat coming our way and a "journalist" who is trying her damnest to out us.

Please, for everyone on here, BELIEVE ME, if you do not have proof of who started the site, DONT mention it. Just trust me... please when you talk about the site do not mention Ron Paul supporters unless, like I said, you have proof that it was started by a RP supporter.

We don't need our own people trying to make it look like it was started by us.

The guiliani forum has been particularly anti Paul, for some reason I think this is some sick satire and not ron paul supporters, although some may have invaded at times.

Google can't be wrong, thus it is not a spoof site.

My other posts on page one of this thread answer your concerns (including a link to an article in Wired mag)

* I also point out how Dr. Ron Paul was either brave enough (or foolish?) to appear several times on Alex Jones show.
* This fact alone should be enough to allow you to loosen up quite a bit. :)

Well, then WHO made the banner? Fred Thompson - Hope for NORTH America?

I think the owner is just giving as good as he got all these months. Is it possible that he's just joining the joke. Otherwise, why on earth would he have that banner up there?

Exactly...

look at www.politicallyuncensored.com or www.conservativeunderground.com

They all say the same things, some a little more out there some not so much..

(Little side story, on the first site those people said that Ron Paul was a racist but then said Dog the Bounty Hunter was not wrong for saying the "n" word.. funny)

Please, allow me to pin-point two different issues.

1) The Fred Forum
2) Some of us are way too paranoid

`````````````
1) The Fred Forum

I'll stand by everything I've said in this thread.

* I don't agree with deception, and...
* Neo-cons are so sick, that the Fred forum was sometimes very funny.
* Prior to this morning it was probably a spoof in support of Ron Paul (Edit: See the Wired.com link I posted earlier)
* Now his supporters are (supposedly banned) :confused:

IMO, the media has already successfully labeled us as kooks :(

>>This fact alone should be enough to allow you to loosen up quite a bit.

An internal witch hunt here is not what we need

If you are interested in discussing the sudden changes at the 'Fred forum' please, do, but acting like 'paranoid collectivists' is no way to run a freedom loving Revolution.

I don't believe one damned word of that Wired.com article. NOT ONE WORD!

The Fred Thompson Fourm (http://fredthompsonforum.com) looks as real as any other neo-con forum I've seen. You ever seen the Hannity forum? What about conservativeunderground? I could name website after website, and I cant tell one bit of difference between those sites and the Fred Thompson Forum (http://fredthompsonforum.com).

It figures The administrator would ban Ron Paul supporters/Ron Paul talk. It seems to be a trend among ANTI-Liberty/Neo-Con web forums.

Like I said, the Fred forum looks just like Hannity forums, and I will remind you of what Lee Kington said to make my point.

If the Fred forum is satire/fake then so is the Hannity forums. In my opinion the Fred forum is real.

Perhaps the owner is for a north american union and believes Fred will deliver that for him?

Here are the results from today's 10/15/07 straw poll in Portland -- yet another landslide victory for Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul 77 votes, 67%
Mitt Romney 18 votes, 16%
Fred Thompson 12 votes, 10%

Rudy Giuliani 2 votes, 2%

Reading the responses it seems he was trolling as well and doesn't seem like he was supporting Fred.

Do some RP supporters troll there? Yep. I got booted out of there a month ago as well as being booted out of Hannity's, Levin's site, and a few other places. From my personal experience FTF is no different from Hannity's. Maybe FTF is less rabid.

I'm a member of that forum and I post there regularly. Much of what has been posted in the past has been satire. Some of the things being said are far too ridiculous even for the most neoconned person to believe. I think the majority of Americans who might wander onto that site and read those comments will be turned off by how crazy some of it sounds, and that's the point. The neocon agenda is indeed crazy. The goal isn't to spread lies about the neocons, it's to act EXACTLY like one in order to turn people away from it. I'm sure there are some people there who genuinely believe the things they're saying, but the fact that we can't even tell them apart means that the job is being done either way.

I think the admin might actually be a Fred supporter, not sure. But I do know that their forum has an entire section dedicated specifically to Ron Paul discussion, so I don't know how they expect to implement this new rule. This new rule seems to simply be a mirror of what some other forums have been doing recently, perhaps in an effort to make the forum seem more believable or to fuel the fire. It doesn't matter. Nothing is going to change on that forum.

no... even the way the forum itself is actually set up, is a spoof. the tag line is a spoof of ron pauls "hope for america" and the ranking system includes being a neocon cheerleader. the entire site is a spoof with only a small percentage of people there not really getting the joke.

It would be funny to make a spoof site, with people all acting like Neo-cons, so over the top it would be hard to mistake it for the real thing. Kinda like Borat. It would make a great practical joke if intended all in good fun. But since that Wired.com article, what would've been a good idea before is now an act that might discredit the movement.

While I don't believe the site was a spoof, I don't know. And niether do any of you. Unless a joker came forward to challenge the article, to argue it was a spoof would almost support the Wired.com article smearing the integrity Paul supporters.

If it was a spoof, and the jokers came out to fight that battle and prove thier point, I'd support them all the way. That would likely be the best strategy and would prove the point of the joke, if it was one, and be a display of honesty.

But if it wasn't a spoof, or if the jokers aren't going to step forward, the movement is better off dropping the issue unless challenged. I don't know the truth, and at this point I don't care. Unless opponents are making an issue of it.

And I'd guess they wouldn't want to, since it would likely make them look stupid for falling for it.
