How can we stop sabotoge?

[SonicInfinity]

We already know that there are going to be people who try to smear Ron Paul's campaign, and even these forums. Not only that, at least 5% of them are half intelligent, meaning that they could pose as Ron Paul supporters and do everything they can to "unhinge" whatever we're doing.

We need to prepare not just now, but especially in the last week before the 16th. They will do anything and EVERYTHING to stop us, so if we're not prepared, our efforts may be in vain.

1. Get level, well worded, even interviews into major news publications BEFORE the smears start in earnest. The first person to introduce a candidate sets the tone.

2. Get out there and talk to people one on one. People trust someone they can reason with in person FAR more than they trust some visceral invisible with a blog.

3. Have reasonable and logically sound responses to any such smears ready and available for ALL of our volunteers to use. So when someone starts spouting the "white supremecist" crap, you don't attack the person who writes the piece, instead you point to how Paul's policies on drug use would help society bring more minorities back out of the legal system, and how Ron Paul routinely accepts money from whoever will give it, but instead of listening to what they are asking for, he assumes they agree with what he says. :)

This is excellent advice.

Here is the only (easy) way to win racial debates:

((Please, post this-or similar-every time you hear the endless racist slurs))

``````````````````````````

Ron Paul views people a individuals not groups.
Racism and religious bigotry are collective concepts.

Ron Paul supports individual concepts, not collective concepts.
By definition Ron Paul is not a racist.
