The Wonkette has become a fulltime, 24/7 anti-Ron Paul website. Don't go there, don't click on links, don't give them traffic as a reward. Who cares, anyway, it's not worth out time, and they're probably just doing it to capitalize on us.

[hillertexas]

Welcome aboard, Stealth!
Please break your link. :)

[nist7]

Treat the haters as you would treat the trolls: don't give them any more attention!

When I saw this I immediately buried it. Don't make threads exposing the haters...this only gives them more attention and traffic!

Any publicity is good publicity. They are emphasizing Friday's deadline. People who disagree with Wonkette read their crap just the same way that some of us listen to Michael Savage occassionally to be irritated and amused.

Why does anyone care what the idiots at Wonkette think? I visit Democrat Underground a lot because it is the most unintentionally funny site ever and they constantly hate on Paul. They'll even ban you if you support him. I love seeing their hate. If the morons at these sites supported Ron I would be very concerned.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

why does Wonkette hate Ron Paul so much? They never hate on any other GOP.

[hard@work]

Seriously, just ignore them. That type of cynicism is what we are trying to resolve in the political system. This is why Ron Paul works with and cultivates the Green Party. Does he agree with their platforms across the board? NO! But he wants the ideas of all of us to be free again.

That is why these groups are the gutter of our society. We will have to reclaim them last but for now their vitriol would stain the hearts of all those who touch it just as you've experienced now. No reason to give them more power than they deserve.

Make them earn it as we have!

It's because they secretly love him.

[slantedview]

the only reason is that they think they stand to lose if he's elected.

kinda like the big wall street financial firms stand to lose (no more fed to bail them out when they screw up) if he's elected :)

either that, or they just hate freedom.

[Trigonx]

Half the shit they say is just plain stupid. I agree the money could have been spent better than a blimp, but it makes no sense to ridicule the people who are trying to make the blimp project successful if it does happen to fail. The funny thing is, I just pitched in money to the blimp because of the folks at Wonkette. Their little plan may just be backfiring, at least in my case

fear. They know none of the other GOPers have a chance against whatever democrat ends up running.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

oh. that makes sense. They want an anti-war, socialist state. They want the US to be the world's humanitarian. High taxes, lots of regulations, no property rights.

[kylejack]

I like 'em. They've got moxy, and they're worthy adversaries.

LAWL, thats an interesting graph there Josh

[Melissa]

great graph that explains it all

[FreeTraveler]

What a great graph, Josh. I was just getting ready to say that Wonkette was a pretty widely read liberal blog... not as widely as it used to be, I notice. :p

That kinda says it all right there buddy. Wonkette who?? Must be some snippy little tart somewhere with a fat yap whose trite and contrived opinionation amounts to smattering of desiccated flea dung. Not worth a second of rubbernecking to view their slow motion truck wreck.

Hmmm.... I see a new group forming here... closetronpaulsupporters.com

Yes, DU is a riot; from the other extreme side of the statist coin, so is Free Republic. They actually hate on Ron even more than DU. Back on the lefty side, DailyKos is so far out there they sometimes start circling back and occasionally have stuff that's not too uncomplimentary to Ron.

The disturbing thing is that the "eating your own" syndrome and strident pettiness so common on DU is often seen here. I think it is a very common human thing not necessarily connected with ideology. You see this factionalism on church committees, school boards, clubs...

Wonkette used to be pretty funny at times, there was a lot of very clever sarcasm, but now that they have a hair up their butt about Ron I don't go there anymore, its too distasteful.

Whoa! That is amazing!

[Spirit of '76]

I seriously doubt the vapid slackers at Wonkette even vote.

[Trigonx]

I hope they come and see this graph.

"You know, if the San Fran GOP Straw Poll is any indication, the GOP convention is going to kick some serious ass."

Sad.

Let's reach 200,000 just to rub it in "Wonkette's" worthless faces.

lol. they seem to be the ones representing the "white supremacist" viewpoint, not Ron Paul. A libertarian cannot be a racist.

[Lucille]

The wankers over at Wonkette would have the feds wipe their butts if they could.

And does anyone else think their anti-Paul spokesperson, "General" Nick Farr, is not only a statist tool, but an uninformed asshat with a serious case of Histrionic Personality Disorder?

Any publicity is good publicity. They are emphasizing Friday's deadline. People who disagree with Wonkette read their crap just the same way that some of us listen to Michael Savage occassionally to be irritated and amused.

I just put in $50 because of the Wonkette article.

[Naraku]

Lol, do those guys have nothing better to do than talk shit about Paul supporters?

Makes me smile too. :)

[LinearChaos]

Wonkette who??Exactly. All Wonkette is doing is trying to raise its pitiful Alexa ratings by pissing off and attract Paul supporters. I like the comments in that thread, the way they think that more than a small minority of Paul supporters care or even know what Wonkette is about.

Wonkette is just like RedState, hence the "alliance", and look what has happened to their Alexa ratings ever since.

They are parasites trying to use Paul's support to save their sinking ship.

From their comments, it looks like they come here and take screenshots of posts. Maybe they can get a shot of this:

There is no "war" because there is nobody to fight. They are nothing compared to Ron Paul. The rEVOLution is already destined to make history while Wonkette is destined for the recycle bin.

Why are the numbers on the left of the graph bigger near the bottom? "5000" at the top and "80,000" at the bottom?

[ronpaulhawaii]

they hate us cause we are free

[francisco]

Why are the numbers on the left of the graph bigger near the bottom? "5000" at the top and "80,000" at the bottom?

It is a logarithmic chart.
