SF Straw Poll Lady Makes YouTube Video

[fuzzybekool]

The infamous lady who cancelled the straw poll in San Francisco has made a YouTube video. It is a rambling piece of nonsense as she tries very hard to explain why she believes she did nothing wrong.

[Starks]

Wow. She was all over the place. Zero coherence.

[Starks]

BTW, stealing expensive wine is bad.

[kylejack]

She seems like a Woody Allen character. This Youtube video is Comedy Gold!

[Starks]

I find it hilarious how she managed to segue from Ron Paul's fanatical supporters and straight into illegal immigration.

[Starks]

To be fair though, swarming a private event is a bit underhanded, even if the intentions are pure.

There was no storming a private event. They paid to vote in the straw poll.

[Starks]

I wonder if her any claims of legal obligations to the hotel hold any water.

[Petar]

haha, what a fruitloop...all in all, i think this is more/better publicity than just the straw poll that we were set to demolish...

[Starks]

I can't even begin to understand what possessed her to create this red-faced rant/rebuttal.

[kylejack]

That's certainly understandable, but she should have been counting heads as they came in. When she reached fire-code capacity as directed by the hotel, cut it off. To say it was a private event is crap. Looky what I found.

This was publicly posted on the Contra Costa GOP website, so it seems to make clear that all are invited, and hey, bring all your friends!! Unless they support Ron Paul!

Google cache doesn't lie, mwahahaha

[Danny Molina]

She called us thieves!

[kylejack]

She called us thieves!

Yeah, that was amusing. I'd like to see some substantiation, and I wonder why someone didn't try to stop the evil Ron Paul supporter taking the wine.

[Starks]

Somewhere, there is a drunk a RP supporter bragging about his expensive vintage wine heist.

[Chester Copperpot]

I knew she was full of shit as soon as she said "Libertarians posing as Republicans"

Shes a liar and a bad reader to boot,

[GoRon2008]

she sounds like daffy duck :D

[Jared Callanan]

Her rebuttal is embarassing. The anti-semitic slurs toward her on the comments page are even more so.

Sometimes its really painful to be in a movement with some of these people. I'm constantly re-assessing my support for Ron Paul. Thank God he's the best candidate I've ever come across, because if he was just mediocre I would have given up a long time ago.

[OferNave]

I posted this:

"Wow, that was completely incoherent. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Also, you're still a crook, and thanks to the miracle of YouTube, now everyone will know it. For posterity.

PS-The straw poll footage was shaky. Thanks for giving us well-filmed close ups so we can always recognize you."

[FormerDemocrat]

I was going to post the video.

It looks like she's reading from a pre-written speech.
Upon looking carefully, according to her glasses there's a paper reflection.

If maximum occupancy was the issue, why couldn't she just move to a bigger room?
We do at that my campus sometimes especially when I have to do projects.

[RonPaulCult]

Wow what a nutter

I don't believe her for a second. She didn't want Ron Paul to win so she didn't allow the straw poll to happen.

[Tedhunter]

Gail needs to get her story straight. Was it meant to be:

- a private event for her friends?
- a local straw poll?
- a private straw poll for her friends???

"Results from guests voting...in only local straw poll will be publicized."

If she intended to release the results to the press, wouldn't it behoove her to make the polling as unbiased and representative as possible, lest she be accused of trying to manipulate the outcome, and thus undermine her own credibility in the community?

Bottom line: she misrepresented the event, either on purpose (in order to sneakily support Fred Thompson), or unwittingly (because she's confused and silly). Liar or fool? Which is it?

[maeqFREEDOMfree]

lol this lady sure is trying, you have to give her that...i guess

[ladyliberty]

She should have renamed her group the Fred Thompson Meetup Group - and then we would have known it was a "private" group - calling it a Republican group makes one think it is open to ALL republicans. Apparently she is under the misguided belief that all right thinking Republicans are going to support Fred Thompson!

[quickmike]

This lady is obviously an AIPAC wench.

Nothing against the Jewish people at all, but I cant stand lobbyists, not from any group.

[steph3n]

people need to stop making assumptions and calling names about anyone, such antics don't get us votes. In fact watching and commenting on such videos doesn't get us votes.

GET FOCUSED

Watching and the comments on such videos is what brought me to Ron Paul. :p

Alright, well keep your anti-semitism in check.

[moonbat]

Alright, well keep your anti-semitism in check.

Ummm, where did that come from? I have never made any kind of anti-semitism comments.

[Birdlady]

Everything she said the RP supporters did she could have said about any other candidate she didn't like.

Oh no this guy used my microphone system I paid for (I wonder how many other candidate supporters used that mic). Oh no people were eating food that they paid for (once again did the other candidate supporters pass on the food and wine?) Oh no the straw poll was such a success that we ran out of room! (We made thousands of dollar wtf! Darn you RP supporters you made me MONEY!) :rolleyes:

Give me a freaking break. This woman needs to start following her own straw poll rules in my opinion.

[r3volution]

wtf does any of this have to do with illegal immigration ?
ill bet her 16 cats are just as mad .
BTW , nice head band ..

This.

[moonbat]

I responded to steph3n's comment not Jared Callanans. Stop trying to put words in my mouth. :rolleyes:

[speciallyblend]

kylejack is watching you moonbat:) hehe ,hey kylejack comments get lost on youtube,so alot of times you think they are responding to someone elses comments,its a bitch,maybe you tube could follow ronpaulforums comments section so they are where there suppose to be;)

[robert4rp08]

Couldn't watch past the second minute. She made no sense.

[winston_blade]

That was the strangest thing I have ever seen. It was like watching a child speak.

[reduen]

That's certainly understandable, but she should have been counting heads as they came in. When she reached fire-code capacity as directed by the hotel, cut it off. To say it was a private event is crap. Looky what I found.

"Walk-ins with phone/email reservations

Is everyone else missing this qoute above or what? Could it be that the reason many of the Ron Paul supporters were not welcome is because they did not RSVP before hand?

Don't get me wrong, I am on Dr. Pauls side always but I read this and wondered if she might have a legitimate complaint after all.. (Have not watched the video yet.)

[Edward]

That was the strangest thing I have ever seen.It was like watching a child speak.She is obviously frustrated. I am glad my mistakes have never been widely reported on YouTube and the local press.

[SlapItHigh]

I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

I love you ;) . "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it."

Straw Poll Lady - "Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine."

(Have not watched the video yet.)Sounds like there was some miscommunication, but it's difficult to tell who was at fault. The SF Meetup announcement says nothing about a reservation and adds that people could come late and pay only $5: http://ronpaul.meetup.com/36/calendar/6852586/

[Got Liberty?]

That reminded me of Gilda Radner's Barbara WaWa character she used to do on Saturday Night Live. :o

[XelR8r]

To be fair though, swarming a private event is a bit underhanded, even if the intentions are pure.

Really?

Maybe you should read the invitation.

Nobody "swarmed" anything. They paid their money and waited for over two hours.

Get your facts straight.
Why are you so quick to blame Dr. Paul supporters?

[XelR8r]

Alright, well keep your anti-semitism in check.

What kind of crazy crap is that?
So now disagreeing with someone who may or may not be jewish is anti-semitic?

Nowhere did bat make any comment that could have been mistaken for a slur, are you related to Gail Neira or something?

[kylejack]

Sounds like there was some miscommunication, but it's difficult to tell who was at fault. The SF Meetup announcement says nothing about a reservation and adds that people could come late and pay only $5: http://ronpaul.meetup.com/36/calendar/6852586/
She confirmed the $5 thing. Many people were charged that price, so apparently it was legit. Many Ron Paul supporters offered to pay the 33, but she still killed the poll.

[OferNave]

Ummm, where did that come from? I have never made any kind of anti-semitism comments.

In the interest of resolving this, I don't think the poster meant you personally made anti-semitic comments, but was complaining that anti-semitic comments were being posted in general by some RP supporters. It could have been made more clear. :)
