Said the book “Animal Farm” by George Orwell gave him “a good understanding on how politics work.” 2. Said, “My favorite comic book superhero is Baruch Wane, otherwise known as Batman, in The Batman Chronicles. … ( “The Berlin Batman” ), a Jew in hiding in Nazi Austria, was willing to risk his life for the sake of the promulgation of freedom, and I find this to be super-heroic.”

I seem to recall in the '08 race, Kusinich and Edwards had all other candidates shut out, in the web polls on all of the Liberal websites the next morning after the early debates. But two Cracker Males wasn't sexy enough reality for the liberal media, so by noon, they flipped the poll results to say Clinton and Obama won. Are you afraid of Ron Paul getting unwarranted merits from the over endorsement of people on the Internet? Well hide the women and children!

When Ron Paul is crushed in the primaries, it will send these dopers, pedophiles, and racists back to their past times of abusing their fellow underclass wretches. They will give up on politics. Making these people victims by banning them will only keep them engaged in politics. Even better, let's have Ron Paul win the Presidency. He would then proceed to thankfully sell-out in a New York minute. It would be the best way to dash the Libertarian hopes and dreams on the rocks of reality like one does with an unwanted retarded infant. The Chartist underclass selected a Negro to be their leader, and racism became socially acceptable (win!). On top of that, the Chartist violated all of his own Chartist principles with Gitmo, NDAA, bank bailouts, queer marriage, etc.(win! win! win! win!). The most hilarious outcome would be watching Little Ronny turn into Obama/Bush during 2012-2016. Keep the dream alive, Ronny Dummies. Ron Paul 2012!

Wow, you're right: 292 threads, 254 comments: http://patrick.net/forum/users.php?display_name=anonymousone One problem though is that some people just post links to the "Link Submission" forum (each as a new thread) and very few comments, but I rely on getting good links from that. I could make an exception to the comment/thread ratio for that one forum but then it's getting gnarly... Hmmm, is there some way to automatically detect if there is text in an icon image? For now, I'm working on just making the "ignore" link also apply to threads. I didn't really want to do that because even bad threads often have good comments, but people are asking for that ignore ability, and it's not hard to implement.

    35   10:27pm Sat 21 Jan 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   I'm old enough to remember the 70s and 80s, when many things that were fueling resentments -- for example, affirmative action -- could not be talked about in public because they weren't politically correct. Anyone who tried was labeled a bigot or an idiot. The tension of bottled up speech built and built until it found an outlet in talk radio. The GOP still feeds off that rage. Something similar is happening today. Political speech about real grievances is being suppressed. You shouldn't have to be a Ron Paul supporter to acknowledge that the media has treated one candidate with extreme prejudice. In the last SC debate, the camera was angled to omit him, and he was given very little time to make his case, to the extent that the audience had to intervene twice. This has been a consistent pattern rather than an isolated incident. The media is not reporting the news but using its power to steer citizens towards a predetermined outcome. It is no coincidence that this is happening when we are on the brink of a new war. The plans that are being discussed, with only that candidate opposed, are not about bombing facilities off in the desert somewhere. They involve cluster bombing major population centers of Muslims. Some of you called me anti-Semitic because I referred to Jews owning most of mainstream media. Please allow me a few words in response. Just as in earlier decades, political correctness is being invoked to define allowable speech. Mentioning the fact that Jews dominate an industry or criticizing some segment of that community is held to be an attack on all members. This is asserting an absolute blanket immunity for all Jews, regardless of the truth of an assertion against any one of them. The label anti-Semitic tries to shut down speech. It does not permit discussion as to whether overrepresentation of one segment of our society in our media might be a problem. It should not be off the table to question whether whether another preemptive war is in best interest of the USA and whether the leading war enthusiasts in the media have divided loyalties. The million Muslims whose lives are at stake merit that we ask such questions. One hears very little about anti-Semitism of a different type in the USA. My work brings me into regular contact with Israelis. I have seen firsthand a type of casual racism in that society that might surprise Americans. I am not talking about a few informal remarks. At professional meetings, attended by hundreds of scholars - formal contexts where people are careful about what they say - I have heard Israeli scholars applauded by their peers for stating that Arabs are animals, that they will rejoice when they are all dead. I have also met other Israelis, a minority, who speak of the frustration of trying to build a peace movement when their efforts are undermined by US $$$ for Likud. Such experiences drive my frustration with the flippant and rude dismissal of Paul supporters and the smears of anti-Semitism leveled at them. I hope that you do not censor this site to ban any mention of these issues. A conspiracy of silence already dominates most of our media. Free speech, however it might rub some of us the wrong way, is the cornerstone of our democracy.

They used to angle Rick Santorum out of the debates too when he was in LAST PlACE." You are misinformed. I will post links if you want proof. CNN, CBS, the Washington Post, etc have committed blatant media blackouts of Ron Paul. On top of that they began to demonize him when he started climbing rapidly in the Iowa polls. Paul has always been shut out of the debates. In one, he was allowed to speak for only 89 seconds. He was in second place in the delegate count coming into SC. The official rules of presidential debates are that the second place candidate stands in the middle and is given equal camera time. CNN broke those rules. In their 2-hr followup discussion, CNN talked at length about the other candidates and did not mention Ron Paul. Paul's last place finish is a consequence of his marginalization in the press and not the reason for it. The media is trying to black him out and to discredit his supporters in hopes that they can dictate reality and sway people away from him. It is one thing to have an honest debate and to have the people vote for another candidate. It is another when the media colludes to prevent fair play. I am really disappointed that this discussion was buried. Why bother to have a politics section if you are going to exclude minority points of view.

    42   9:43am Sun 22 Jan 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   US Constitution/Bill of Rights supporters: I have come to realize this blog may exist for the purpose of promoting Communitarianism, which is a 50/50 mix of capitalism and socialism. Patrick himself has stated his support for socialism in the past. Only recently did he state his support for a Libertarian (Ron Paul) candidate. This could very well be a tactic to draw in pro-Constitution debate, which is then manipulated to create the appearance that the socialists are winning nearly every debate. This creates the illusion of a fair debate, which impacts the views of anyone reading this content -- also known as sophisticated propaganda. Communitarianism is a relatively new (20 years?) political party, sponsored by the ultra-wealthy central banking-owned financial arms of the United Nations. It uses strategies outlined by Fabian socialist Saul Alinsky, who wrote "Rules for Radicals." Key strategies include: never ever showing one's true intentions, never calling socialism by it's true name, constant ridicule of the opposition, distorting and skewing data, creating the appearance of a shared consensus view, and outright lies. This constant ridicule includes calling their opposition lunatics, kooks, nutcases, tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy-theorists, and so on. These same tactics were used by the KGB to address domestic opposition to the socialist government of the USSR. Opponents were universally labelled crazy, and eventually thrown in padded cells if the opposition was not already demoralized. Communitarians seek the loss of individual private property rights, among many other things. Continually bashing home ownership for the middle class is one way of helping achieve this goal, over a long period of time (this tactic is being used on dozens of real estate blogs, worldwide). Notice that renting is now fashionable, and heavily promoted. It just so happens that private property ownership is the backbone of the US Constitution. This comment will of course be ridiculed to no end. The goal is to defame the poster. Expect this and take this into account when reading the posts that come after it. Compare this to the methods used by ex-KGB Yuri Bezmenov, described in several of his interviews: http://www.google.com/search?tbm=vid&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=853&q=yuri+bezmenov&gbv=2&oq=yuri+b&aq=4&aqi=g5g-z1g4&aql=&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=1286l3725l0l5904l8l8l1l0l0l0l239l1114l1.5.1l7l0 Be aware that Constitutional supporters who post here are likely being tracked closely, since this blog is likely sponsored by Communitarian money. Your IP address is collected and may perhaps be used against you at a later date, when the Communitarians take full control. Be careful out there.
