    Every headline seems to run the meme "against his supporters".

    Well I'm one of those supporters and he hasn't done anything to me and I have no respect for what the domain owner is doing

    I wonder what multiple of annual free cash-flow $250,000 is for that website.

    My guess is that 5x is an extremely, extremely, extremely far too low for an estimate.

    I mean if the owner really wanted $250,000 for it, he could easily justify it by having a CPA do a certification of the cashflow, and then state a multiple based on that figure that gets to $250,000.

    Lady in the pink dress is pleading an emotional argument. Lady in white is more level headed.

    Lady in pink needs to be shown the door.

    They'll never show you how much they make because then they will lose the 'grassroots support' because we will find out they make entirely way too much. There is a blatant reason why they left out their earnings from the 'letter' but instead talked about how hard they worked and how much they sacrificed. They figure if they can play to everybody's emotion, they'll look RP bad for trying to get the domain.

    I've never known libertarians to complain about people making too much money. I hope they are getting filthy rich off the site, but in reality revenue is probably something like 5k/month, which puts Cowlesy's 5x estimate right in the ballpark.

    They should quit calling them supporters and instead call them what they are. People making a living off of the liberty movement.

    I have to wonder if Ron Paul is really behind this. It doesn't seem like something he'd push to the point of a lawsuit.
    If something bad happens, we will be blamed. If something good happens, we will get no credit. If nothing happens, we will be forgotten.
