Thread: The Censorship of Ron Paul

I just watched this and it was pretty interesting especially the part in part 2 of this, where there is a phone call to a person to collect data for a poll. WATCH IT then comment, don't just start commenting right away.

The narrator blows any credibility in the first 90 seconds. Paul never had a chance to win the Republican nomination period. And to say the news media was "threatened" is just absurd. He had his chance he went no where. I had ample opportunity to hear what he had to say and what he stood for, I rejected him like most did.

Now he has every opportunity to run as Libertarian instead of a Republican (another piece of propaganda in the video, he was running as a Republican in a Republican primary, he didn't have a chance ever).

Ron Paul is especially popular on the internet is the thing. The Narrator mostly uses this as his evidence. I felt the video was dishonest. You guys believe anything :P

Anyhow, I've said it before. Ron Paul supporters were masters of viral marketing. They have been doing for years of course.They know how to reach the masses without the aid of traditional mass media.


I wondered who these people were so I researched it some. Most are racist, xenophobic conspiracy minded holocoust deniers and they lack even the courage to admit that. I think the news networks avoided talking about Ron Paul because they knew that ultimately it would come out. For whatever reason they chose to avoid what we all know deep down in our hearts.

We can't have a serious dialog about the Ron Paul phenomenon if people are not willing to be honest. We would at some point have to address where a lot of that support came from.

The funny thing is that it is these conspiracy nuts who were actually trying to skew the system to make Ron Paul look more popular than he was. They flooded chat rooms, forums, youtube.

The very people who claim the contest was fixed, tried to fix the contest. These are smart people who were able to manipulate online polls is what I am saying. They used proxies to vote multiple times I'd certainly imagine. No doubt though that they have a tremendous power to mobilize each other to action. Let's not take anything away from them.

I have come to learn that white nationals are often not the bad people the media potrays them to be.





I am sorry to his supporters who are offended by this. I'm not going to compile the long list of evidence that Ron

Oh, with all that being said. Anyone who does not think that the media puts more attention on the candidates that are "favored" is nuts.

Yeah, I agree with what you said, but I think you're wrong that it's just the internet, I've seen many of his rallies and belive me some of the people there aren't only some computer nerds, they're some older people that support Ron Paul because they like the belifs he stands for. Of course there are going to be some people that manipulate polls, but they're only trying to do that because the media is trying to ignore him. For example that Fox guy taht said I don't want Ron Paul shown or whatever, that doesn't help teh cause. We'll see how many real supporters he has at the Washignton D.C. march.

Well now see, I think people that were able to actually hear his message tended to like it. I've never heard anyone say he was full of shit.

I can very much tell you that American's are guilty of the same thing the media did. I know because I did the same thing. I hear about Mike Gravel and good ole Ron Paul, the thought is that they don't have a chance so just ignore them. I think it is very much a bad habit of human nature.

I mean what if Ron Paul is the best guy? What if it was some other dude we never heard of because he lacked even the ground support Ron Paul had.

There should almost be rules, I mean the media can and does give a huge bonus. It's always been this way too.

Agree on everything except the part you said about people that ahve heard of him saying he's full of shit, people on this forum do it all the time, and I don't know why...

To be fair I think it's a two sided street. The more ambitious, for lack of better term, really bring the best out of each other. Defensor is a good example of this. Every post he makes is either something he copy pasted, or a one line jab at someone else. He has no ability to have a neutral conversation. He won't talk about pro's cons. He starts like three threads a day on average. They seem pretty hostile to be honest.

The trolls come to feed but then the Ron Paul guys see one of their own under fire, next thing you know it is a flame thread. For this reason it's impossible to ever discuss anything about Ron Paul.

I guess the only option left is to agree to disagree.
