    that's just funny stuff.

    • bloaded, on 11/21/2007, -8/+27im all for everyone supporting ron paul I agree with his message too but I hope ron paul supporters don't go down the path of slandering other candidates. Huckabee seems to be one of the more respectable ones too.
      • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -18/+10They already have.This entire forum is a fake just for that purpose. Also they enjoying spamming every news article about every candidate with negative comments.
        • card51short, on 11/21/2007, -3/+8wow wipe those tears...don't cry...your candidate will have a great chance next time!
      • bizchris, on 11/21/2007, -4/+15Wasn't Huckabee one of the ones who raised their hands for not believing in evolution?
    • CCoe, on 11/21/2007, -7/+15"Well, the meter hasn't moved. Maybe everyone is sleeping. I'm sure when the sun comes up we will quickly raise 20 million.
      Come on Christian soldiers!"
      Later...
      "woop woop!! someone donated $10"
      I don't think I've laughed that hard in a month.
    • sporg, on 11/21/2007, -7/+13Now they are complaining about making diggs front page. Apparently we are all Islamo lovers here at digg.

    • CCoe, on 11/21/2007, -5/+13"Goverment is there to PROTECT US FROM OURSELFS AND TERRISTS. 9/11 changed everything... we can't be trusted to make decisions now because what if I woke up tommorow and decided to be a terrist? Huckabee will take freedom away and make it into anti-terrism to PROTECT US."

      ...Deep down I have this horrible feeling that he's an adult, and not 8. He spells "terrorist" like Bush says it...
      • bamapachyderm, on 11/22/2007, -3/+4The forum is not a Huckabee forum; it's run by RP supporters. They have them for all GOP candidates plus Hillary and maybe others-- candidatenameforums.com--all spoof forums. Obviously they're going to write garbage like that.
        • CCoe, on 11/24/2007, -1/+1Wow.. That's actually a really ***** thing to do.
    • sporg, on 11/21/2007, -11/+4Everyone please join this forum and troll the holy hell out of it. It doesnt even require a confirmation email you can post instantly!

      lmao!!!!!!!!
    • brad77, on 11/21/2007, -3/+17Holy crap. It's a regular troll-fest in there. Maybe I've been watching too much Colbert, but it seems like 80% of the posters are straight up ***** to get a rise out of the regulars and each other.

      This can't be real.
      • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -3/+13It's not
      • MoniqueMoniCat, on 11/21/2007, -10/+4again, thank you for giving huckabee more attention. we huckabee supporters appreciate that. the ron paul supporters are just where they need to be: crowding around the huckabee campaign !!

        VIVA MIKE HUCKABEE! BRAVISIMO!
        • card51short, on 11/21/2007, -3/+6I had a witty remark for you but you don't deserve it...just TOO damn funny hahahaha
    • mmazing, on 11/21/2007, -8/+16Wow, if any of that was real ... I have reached a whole new level of disgust for people who support Douche Huckabee.
      • MoniqueMoniCat, on 11/21/2007, -10/+4douches are good things, they flush out impurities.

        glad you see that mike huckabee has the power to do this. and thank you for giving huckabee more attention. we huckabee supporters appreciate that.
      • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -9/+4t's not. That forum is populated by RonPaulBots, not real Huckabee supporters
    • GeorgeClayton, on 11/21/2007, -8/+6Wow, these people are more scary than the extreme conspiracy theorists or internet nuts that support Ron Paul. (For the record, I'm not talking about the majority of his supporters, just the few extremists). They clearly lack a proper understanding of the Bible . . .

      If you remember the ten commandments, the part about "using God's name" in vain refers to using God's name for vain purposes. This doesn't necessarily refer to someone saying "God Damn It" but rather more like those TV-evangelists who constantly ask for money (using Christianity) and then use it for selfish purposes like buying a hot car, big house, etc. Basically it's like claiming to represent God to achieve your own selfish goals.
      "May God reign down fire and brimstone on those who oppose us. God is on our side!"
      "And if he fails to see the error of his ways, I ask you my lord, to smite him, along with his children, onto the gates of hell. May he burn in damnation and his children suffer until they submit to you my Lord."
      "True Christians will be voting for Huckabea, the winning team!"
      "Huckabee IS the ONLY Christen choice and if you don't know that then you are NOT a Christian! Takes a big man to pick on a young Christian girl. You sir are a discrace and will burn in hell!!!"

      Didn't bother reading any further than that, but these are some seriously crazy supporters. I think a couple of them might be joking, but that "Soldier of GOD" character doesn't seem to be.
    • GeorgeClayton, on 11/21/2007, -8/+5Damn, just had an idea, someone quickly make a username "What the Huck"
    • univerio, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS
    • LargeTrout, on 11/23/2007, -2/+2I saw this on Reddit a couple of days ago. Hilarious site. Check out Soldier-of-GOD's comment history; he/she is possibly the funniest troll I've seen in a thread ever.
  • Soffrite, on 11/21/2007, -26/+101Just another day for Ron Paul.. he's kicking Huckabee's ass in donations today and he doesn't even need a "money bomb" day to do it.
    http://ronpaulgraphs.com/rp_vs_huck_today.html
    • TheTaoOfBill, on 11/21/2007, -11/+20This is not an average day for us. A recent e-mail from the campaign has made a call for extra cash now. So we are answering that call. We have a goal of beating Huckabee on his own money bomb day.
      • Beaupedia, on 09/28/2008, -4/+13I received no campaign Email saying we should donate today to beat Huckabee on his own money bomb day. That would be incredibly childish.
        • 0zzy, on 11/21/2007, -2/+11That's not what the email said :X. It said they need money now to pay for ads in december.
      • Akronos, on 11/21/2007, -2/+7That's NOT what the email said. It said it needs money now because donating in late December will be too late to affect the early primaries. They need the money right now to buy ad spots before the end of December. This has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Huckabee.
        • NoStoppingUs, on 11/21/2007, -11/+5ha. right. someone said it best on that forum..paul has the cash, but no support. huckabee is in second place in iowa...to pauls what...8th? 9th? i cant wait to see paul go down in flames, and then run as an independent and take away votes from the democrats. mwahahah. RUN PAUL RUN!
          • Misesean, on 11/21/2007, -3/+10Right, no support. The cash just appeared, as if by magic.
          • thebaron2, on 11/21/2007, -1/+2He won't run as an independent - at least if he lives up to what he said in the past. He's made it clear numerous times that if he doesn't win the primary then he's out.
        • marco114, on 11/21/2007, -2/+5Ron will take New Hampshire. Iowa has lots of subsidies. Farmers like those. RP prob won't win Iowa, but all those farmers will be better off when they can enjoy the REAL fruits of their labor.
          • fadking, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1Ron not taking Iowa isn't such a bad thing for his campaign, considering Iowa's winner typically does NOT get the nomination It's still a good state to start the cycle, IMO. But that's another debate.
    • XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 11/21/2007, -45/+11Wow, you ***** RP bots are reduced to spouting insults at other candidates. Even respectable ones like Huckabee.
      • DaSuHouSe, on 11/21/2007, -6/+11Insults? So far nothing I've read comes close to an insult. And Huckabee is respectable? Sure except for the fact that he doesn't believe in evolution. If we lived 2 centuries ago he'd be one of the guys sticking to "the earth is the center of the universe" crap.

          • saisumimen, on 11/21/2007, -1/+2I also haven't been raped up the ass. That doesn't make my argument that it's wrong and that I hate it any less incorrect.
        • carpespasm, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5Some people from every religion wouldn't believe in Math if their pastor, rabbi, ayatollah, guru, etc... told them not to.

          [fixed]
      • WilliamDavis, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4You're into Paul way more than anyone else in this thread. Seriously man, get a life.
    • TheWorm, on 11/21/2007, -10/+5Shut up about Ron Paul already.
      • Subliminational, on 11/21/2007, -5/+5You knew it would come up. The story is about a money bomb which Ron Paul's campaign has already gained much publicity from. If it would pop up in any story not directly related to Ron Paul, this would be the one.
  • TheTaoOfBill, on 11/21/2007, -38/+34http://www.ronpaulgraphs.com/rp_vs_huck_today.html

    Ron Paul has made a call for money right now in a recent campaign e-mail. So let's show Huck how to raise some money. Donate today! Let's beat huckabee on his own money bomb day!
    • xTRUMANx, on 11/21/2007, -12/+19Ok, I get election campaigns are competitive, but you guys just look like assholes right now. Way to support RP's image.
    • BlackJackJester, on 11/21/2007, -3/+2I'll donate again on what...Dec 5th is the next planned fundraiser? I think RP doesn't have to try to one up other contenders...that would undermine his integrity.
      • Misesean, on 11/21/2007, -2/+9Dec 16th, but they're not trying to "one up" anybody; they're worried that people are holding off donating now because of Dec 16th, and they need money sooner rather than later.
        • erasedgod, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3Also, Ron Paul has little to do with the planned fundraisers. These are all set up by his supporters.
    • MrXfromPlanetX, on 11/23/2007, -0/+3The next fund raising day is December 16th

      by the way I'm voting RON PAUL 2008, the only true presidential candidate.
    • zeromancer, on 11/21/2007, -3/+6From page 2 of the thread:

      "I just donated extra money to Ron Paul's campaign because some of the comments on here were sickening me. It's absurd to say that God is on Huckabee's side or on Ron Paul's side, for that matter. We have a soverign God who already planned who our next president will be. We simply do not know who God has ordained to be our next president. "

      really? .... seriously? ......... *shakes head*
      • carpespasm, on 11/21/2007, -1/+2well if there is a christian god, who's got a plan for the universe then he would have already known who would be the next president and have his plan set for what's gonna go on with that, but if that's true then we havn't got any control over our own actions since god's already got the game rigged for who he knows it's going to be. but then you get into the issue of free will since god is all powerful and has a plan for everything, but that brings up the idea that he knew and decided that man would fall from his grace, which means he's punished us with death and the possibility of hell for something he made us to do anyway. anyway, just rambling...
        • kraniac, on 11/21/2007, -1/+2You don't quite know what you're talking about. Read Boethius' "The Consolation of Philosophy" for reconciliation of divine foreknowledge with free will. He doesn't prove that we have free will, but he does prove that the two are not incompatible.
    • Aroundtown27, on 11/22/2007, -1/+2That forum is really funny.... one of the new threads is "Don 't be fooled! The Digg and Reddit people are here to make fun of us!" and starts out with these two posts ...

      "For one thing, they want to close down Gitmo instead of making it larger. They also don't understand that 9/11 changed everything - EVERYTHING! Islamo-fascism is a very real threat and I'd rather be safe than have a group of evil terrorists mess with the American way.

      We have honor, that's the most important thing. Everyone else aids the terrorists. "

      "You're totally turning me on now.... mmmmm"

      Us FTW!
  • srodolff, on 11/21/2007, -10/+23Well, since Ron Paul's money bomb was bigger, is he in smaller bits?
    • MonarchWastxD, on 11/21/2007, -9/+1You should make a bet: Ron Paul wins, and they give you all their money. They win, and you drown yourself.
  • kryptman40k, on 11/21/2007, -10/+8it's kind of scary isn't it?
    • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -2/+8what's scary is that stupid satire ona fake forum makes the digg cut, but very few real news stories do
  • thewump, on 11/21/2007, -8/+93Why do the words "prayer" and "jesus" appear on this page as much as "Huckabee"
    • siszam, on 11/21/2007, -19/+2Maybe there are people there who aren't intolerant bigots.
    • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -2/+17because its satire
    • 1town, on 11/21/2007, -6/+12Because some Ron Paul supporters are insisting on alienating 90% of their potential support by mocking christians.
      • JigoroKano, on 11/21/2007, -4/+5I'm not a RP supporter, but he has tons of Christian support. He is a Christian Libertarian. That is what sets him apart from regular Libertarians who are generally pro-choice.

        Now Huckabee's camp, on the other hand, they frighten me as a non-Christian. If you want to talk about alienating people, ...
      • BabyWookie, on 11/21/2007, -1/+4Are you ***** me?

        "Through perverse court decisions and years of cultural indoctrination, the elitist, secular Left has managed to convince many in our nation that religion must be driven from public view… Why have we allowed the secularists to intimidate us into downplaying our most cherished and meaningful Christian celebration?

        The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance… Throughout our nation’s history, churches have done what no government can ever do, namely teach morality and civility… This is the real reason the collectivist Left hates religion… Knowing this, the secularists wage an ongoing war against religion, chipping away bit by bit at our nation’s Christian heritage" - Ron Paul

        • cypher35, on 11/21/2007, -2/+5Thank you! I was just about to give up all hope in humanity if I found out those comments were genuine...
        • Misesean, on 11/21/2007, -1/+4I didn't know about the spoof fora, but I visited the FredThompsonForum once and it was obvious they were either Paul supporters or had a very good sense of humor (which would be unusual: everyone who isn't a Paul supporter seems to be rabid with hatred). But I think this quote from the article says it all, really:
          "I think it's very difficult for the members of the public and the media to tell whether this is a joke," says Christopher Soghoian, a graduate student who studies web psychology and fraud techniques at the Indiana University School of Informatics. "If you hang out in any of the legitimate forums like Free Republic, some of the opinions are not so different from these illegitimate forums, where the opinions are just a bit over the top."
          (And it's true, you can't really parody most of these people. No matter what insanity you post, they're almost certain to surpass it soon afterwards)
    • adam1mc, on 11/21/2007, -2/+3so bots are donating to the campaign? While those pesky little bots are doing that have them contribute some over my way.

      "The power of prayer will keep them from outraising us."

      Hey HigherTardGod, what part of "separation of church and state" don't you understand? Go ahead and spend all your time praying for more money. While you are doing that, all these "Paulbots" will be doing some actual campaigning and helping raise some funds for the good Doc. The old Huckster will be out of the race in no time thanks to you prayer fanatics.
  • djlouder, on 11/21/2007, -4/+4wow... :-D
  • DragonGirl724, on 11/21/2007, -18/+71no THIS is the most embarassing 'money bomb' LOL it's barack's:
    http://donttreadonmike.wordpress.com/2007/11/17/ba ...

    $4,500! LOL and he's a so-called FRONT RUNNER TOP TIER CANDIDATE...O'PLEASE!
    • XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 11/21/2007, -39/+9thanks for sourcing your numbers, *****! you damn paulbots are doing just _anything_ these days.
    • danconia, on 11/21/2007, -4/+11To be fair his quarterly fundraising is like 4x as much as RP's. No need to diss on Obama when he obviously has a large following. Huckabee is fair game though... he's a dirtybag.
      • SmokeyBBQ, on 11/21/2007, -4/+9Yeah but how much money would Obama raise if he did not accept any money from lobbyists and corporations?
        Ron's donations are only from individual donors like us. His average individual donation for his $4.2 million November 5th money bomb was something like $103 per donor.
        - just something to consider when talking about a candidate's "large following".
        • trotskyist, on 11/21/2007, -2/+1Actually, If you'll look at Obama's campaign finance reports, you'll see that only ~$7000 of his total ~21,000,000 raised is from "special interest groups", as opposed to Hillary Clinton, whose contributions from such groups is closer to 10 million.
          Sounds like a grassroots following to me.

    • bizchris, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3That is a pretty funny Update at the end of that article - but realize it paints a different picture than the reality. The reason the dollar amount is so low is that this was some random guy's efforts within his own Obama network, not the full weight of the Obama campaign behind it.
      • scubasteve377, on 11/21/2007, -2/+3Uh, did we forget that Ron Paul's Nov. 5th moneybomb was orchestrated completely independent of the official campaign, by some "random guy", and they still managed to rake in $4.3 million.
        • bizchris, on 11/21/2007, -0/+1Totally agreed about the independence from the actual campaign - sorry if I misstated what I was going fo. The point that I was trying to make is that I'd bet there are other examples of random guys who tried to run a Ron Paul grassroots campaign and pulled in less than $1000 - which indicates more about that one guy than about the strength of RP supporters overall. It would be a better match if there was anything that indicated this was the biggest of the Obama grassroots efforts, to compare against the highlight from the RP grassroots.
  • macman2k, on 11/21/2007, -9/+33I must say that by any historic measure of grassroots support, it appears that Huckabee is doing better than most.
    Unfortunately, Ron Paul has raised the grassroots bar to a level that actually allows him to compete with the front runners despite the media giving Huckabee more "credibility" than Ron Paul. Ron Paul's grassroots are generating 4.5 times the fundraising of Huckabee.
    • 01l0, on 11/21/2007, -3/+14grassroots support means more than internet fundraising. you guys are going to learn that lesson in the primaries.
  • metapop, on 11/21/2007, -7/+32are those comments fake?! what an embarassment...

      • carpespasm, on 11/21/2007, -2/+3if all that's true that's a pretty ***** thing of his supporters to do. ***** whoever;s running those sites. it's a slimy thing like that that can make people not trust a candidate, even if the candidate has nothign to do with it.
      • scubasteve377, on 11/21/2007, -2/+2Oh my god, satire?! Those bastards! This is an outrage! Didn't anyone tell them that only people that ThaddeusB agrees with and Colbert are allowed to do satire?
  • soulmantim, on 11/21/2007, -2/+29I think this has to be like the fredthompsonforum.com where they aren't really Huck Supporters, but a hilarious satire. Great job at 'getting one past the goalie' for digg.
  • jumpyg1258, on 11/21/2007, -7/+26Not as embarrassing or as much of a failure as this fund raising day...
    http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Barack_Obama_s_B ...
    • thefirstenemy, on 11/21/2007, -3/+1That was organized by one Obama supporter, it wasn't even anything done by the Obama campaign.
  • fadeout, on 11/21/2007, -21/+7And yet he manages to trounce Ron Paul with far less money...
  • theodorelogan, on 11/21/2007, -9/+89I'm a Ron Paul supporter.
    That said, I think it is ridiculous to say that raising $230,000 in one day is a failure, especially for a candidate that has, thus far, had so little fundraising success.
    Ron Paul supporters would do well to gloat far less. If Huckabee bows out, his supporters will be looking for somewhere to go. We don't want to burn any bridges.

    Story dugg down for smarmy attitude.
    • heliox, on 11/21/2007, -6/+15You are the first RP support that didn't sound like an ass. dug
    • trentasaurus, on 11/21/2007, -4/+17Agreed. I will, however, laugh at Obama's pathetic fundraising day because he's been declared by the media as a "front runner" and it's funny to see what happens when you rely on regular people for money.
      • bizchris, on 11/21/2007, -1/+2The reason the dollar amount is so low is that this was some random guy's efforts within his own Obama network, not the full weight of the Obama campaign behind it. Come on Digg, we're smarter than this. (Not an Obama supporter, but want my media to be truth.)
    • koft, on 11/21/2007, -7/+3You don't want to give the enemy any comfort. The Ron Paul supporters have to go out and demonstrate Ron Paul's superiority over the other candidates. When it comes to voting in the primaries people will naturally vote for the strongest guy. To get people from the other camps, (i'm not talking fence sitters) you have to make the campaign obvious. Slam the other campaigns when they don't do as well as something. Grab their members by the back of the neck and slam their faces into it. Make it obvious the other guy isn't going to win and make Ron Paul the only candidate worth lining up on.
      This isn't a fun day at the park, this is serious. The constitution and our entire system of governance is hanging on this. If you don't vote for Ron Paul you will never be safe, your family and children will never be safe in America again. We will be a police state, we will have no rights and ultimately our dollar will collapse and we will become invaded and carved up by foreigners. It's time to get tough and make people realize that Ron Paul is the only solution, no matter what it takes.
      • theodorelogan, on 11/21/2007, -3/+5You can point it out without being an *****.
    • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -4/+3This is exactly the attitude that turns most people off Ron Paul
    • twilightsaturn, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4Hi. I am a Ron Paul supporter and I DO NOT approve that message....
    • jefferygomer, on 11/26/2007, -0/+1Agreed, unfortunately I haven't always taken the better route. I've been buried by Ron Paul fans a few times because I've been pretty critical of them despite my complete dedication to Paul '08. But people in any group can be asshats, it's just unfortunate when they end up representing you in a negative way.
  • grapesofbaath, on 11/21/2007, -9/+13That thread is crazy. I want to believe it's a joke, but I don't think it is. Apparently internet Christians are way more annoying than internet atheists.
    • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -2/+5It absolutely is a joke. MikeHuckabeeForums is a fake just like FredThompsonForums.
    • ChromaVita, on 11/21/2007, -5/+2First internet christians were annoying, then internet atheists became annoying. Makes me proud to be an internet agnostic.
    • LeadOffMan, on 11/21/2007, -0/+2you've obviously not come across the atheists on digg
  • XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 11/21/2007, -47/+8Ok, so Huckabee didn't manage to get enough prepubescents to steal their parents' credit cards like Ron Paul did. Don't make fun of him for it.
    • jklikesnews, on 11/21/2007, -3/+12And again.. it's getting old.
    • DaSuHouSe, on 11/21/2007, -3/+12Wow, I just looked at XXXXXXXXXXXXXX's comment history and man does he hate Ron Paul. Despite the majority of them being anti-Ron Paul, I've yet to see one bit of constructive criticism.
  • Shadowsaint, on 11/21/2007, -19/+7WOW, omg i couldn't stop reading that thread, its clear they're all inbred home schooled hicks who were indoctrinated into their faith.

    Its CLEAR why Ron Paul is clearly surpassing Huck, we don't sit on our asses and pray, we go out there and make history happen. They were expecting to pray $20 million into their bank account? Thats as absurd as the idea of one spammer being the only Ron Paul contributor. Give me a break.
    • Wartz, on 11/21/2007, -3/+2dont hate on homeschoolers :(
      also, fix your fake detector and your readingcomprehensionometer

      unless of course you're being sarcastic...
    • bamapachyderm, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3What the *****. I'm sickened by how stupid people are, not realizing that forum is a SPOOF. Guess you're the ignorant inbred hick. Either that or you're yet another sleazebag liar trying to pass it off as a real Huckabee forum.
  • GuacamoleSan, on 11/21/2007, -12/+5These people clearly voted for Bush
  • 01l0, on 11/21/2007, -11/+28"Huckabee, who in recent years has lost 100 pounds, has the roundish, half-deflated physique of an ex-fatty. With his button nose and never-waning smile, he looks slightly unreal, like an oversize Muppet. I was so taken aback by his appearance that I checked his hands to make sure they had the right number of fingers."
    -Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone
    • trentasaurus, on 11/21/2007, -7/+6personal attacks FTL
      • 01l0, on 11/21/2007, -5/+15Attack, or accurate description from someone who's met the guy? I lold.

        BTW your mother is a whore.
  • vault, on 11/21/2007, -6/+14Wow.

    The 2008 Elections category has become spammers vs. spammers.
    • Wacer, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3Wait until the next election after this one. It's going to be a different Internet.
  • colincornaby, on 11/21/2007, -5/+6I can't believe those people are actually real. I mean, they probably are... but they just sound so absurd...
    • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -2/+4They aren't. Its RonPaulBot satire.
      • bamapachyderm, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2There are so many morons in this thread who supposedly think it's real that I'm starting to think they're part of the whole game, pretending they think it's real. Either that or diggers are even more brain-dead than I thought, and that's a pretty tall order.
    • MrXfromPlanetX, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2They are real. I listen to Focus on the Family radio A.K.A Accent Radio to see what the neocons are up to.

      I will tell you this--they are scary as hell. Every day you have Greg Allen and The Lynne Breidenbach Show trying to whip people into a frenzy of fear and hatred. I can see how "The Crusades" took place.

      I heard them trying to freak people out about the internet for weeks, and then I see H.R. 1955 getting pushed through. The whole time they were psyching people out to make them think we needed this bill. Breidenbach was telling people there are over 400 web sites in the US sponsored by terrorists promoting terrorism and we need to crack down on these web sites.
  • airwalkery2k, on 11/21/2007, -5/+13Huckawho?
  • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -14/+11Amazing that a fake forum set up by RonPaulBots, that is obvious satire can make the cut as a real news story but hundreds of real news stories (about all candidates) can't. Digg has reached a new low.
  • amjwh99, on 11/21/2007, -9/+5Wow his money bomb bombed.. no pun intended.
    • gwydon, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5I bet you _completely_ intended that pun.
  • RollFizzlebeef, on 11/21/2007, -20/+7When did money become the marker of an honorable campaign for the Paultards?
    Oh, right - when he started making a little.

    Funny thing is, Huckabee's killing Paul in the polls, and gaining on the front-runners.
    I guess an affable personality still beats an army of spamming Alex Jones zombies.
    • carbog, on 11/21/2007, -4/+3everything Paul has or does is good - everything he does not do or have is bad.
    • Murdats, on 11/21/2007, -3/+4I think the reason is that its not bribe money from corporations, its the small money from his numerous supporters.
      • RollFizzlebeef, on 11/21/2007, -6/+3Same goes for Obama; you don't see his supporters being outright douches all over the internets.
        • scubasteve377, on 11/21/2007, -1/+3You're here, aren't you?
          • RollFizzlebeef, on 11/21/2007, -4/+2omg yoo r teh funnay!!!!!11!

            I was referring to Paultards making fake candidate forums and newspapers (not to mention spamming the hell out of Digg) to push their propaganda. I'm pretty sure that makes you a bigger douche than most.
      • theodorelogan, on 11/21/2007, -2/+3You think Obama's money is from regular people?

        Check out his fec reports....you're going to be in for an unpleasant suprise.
        • RollFizzlebeef, on 11/21/2007, -3/+2"Regular people"?
          The same individual donation limits that apply to Joe Schmoe apply to Oprah.
          Ugh...Paultards are elitist pieces of *****.
  • apollyon, on 11/21/2007, -3/+18At the end of the day (1 hour 44minutes ago) Huckabee had picked up ~$225,000, while Ron Paul's camp had raised ~$250,000.
    • solarsavior, on 11/21/2007, -3/+9Was Huckabee's money bomb planned? Did Ron Paul's camp raise more on the spot than a pre-planned bomb? Bwahahahahahaha!!!
  • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -12/+5If anyone wants to see how real Huckabee supporters (as opposed to RonPaulBots pretendign to be Huckabee supporters) act, they should visit http://Forums.HucksArmy.com
    • danconia, on 11/21/2007, -4/+4LOL they aren't much better:
      " HUCKS ARMY LAUNCHES OPERATION CORN STALK!"
      and
      " What ever happened to Ted Nugent endorsement?"
    • Dweller99, on 11/21/2007, -3/+3And be sure to visit the thread where the admin calls on "hucks army" to join Digg and spam the crap out of it wth huckabee stuff.
  • SpeakerCity, on 11/21/2007, -9/+8
    • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -4/+4Close. It is near 100% RonBots and was set up by them for the purpose of posing as real supporters. Just like FredThompsonForums.com The real Huckabee forum is http://forum.hucksarmy.com
    • dmCraz, on 11/21/2007, -1/+3My expectations were very low for Rudygiulianiforum.com, and I was not disappointed.
  • Murdats, on 11/21/2007, -3/+12what I dont get is why are people accusing 'paulbots' of donating money?
    im not sure but last i checked its usually real people that donate money, not bots.
  • Verz, on 11/21/2007, -1/+3It looks like the site bombed. None of the mirrors got it. :(
  • mostreliable, on 11/21/2007, -9/+14I saw this article and donated to Ron Paul instead

  • chkdg8, on 11/21/2007, -9/+4Ron Paul can raise more flour than Mike Huckabee's campaign and the and feed his staff with it. President Paul for the win.
  • pintomp3, on 11/21/2007, -4/+3that's ok, the FSM will be donating to him any day now.
  • stroxel1, on 11/21/2007, -13/+8This is a fake huckabee report posted by dispicable Ron Paul supporters.
    • ThaddeusB, on 11/21/2007, -0/+7Proof: http://www.wired.com/politics/onlinerights/news/20 ...
    • Entheoddity, on 11/21/2007, -5/+3You my friend, are pretty damn ignorant.
    • scubasteve377, on 11/21/2007, -2/+3It's called satire, stupid. It's pretty ***** obvious its not for real. With that kind of fervor, I'd expect that you write constant hate mail to comedy central for airing of Southpark, the Daily Show and Colbert, because of their "dispicable" use of satire. If not, you really should shut the ***** up. In fact, in either case, you should probably shut the ***** up.
      • MeanYogurt, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2Its not satire. Its a smear. It wasn't submitted to digg to be satire. It was submitted to demean Huckabee and his supporters. I don't write hate mail to comedy central. I know when I click to that channel that the content there is meant to entertain. This submission was mean to mislead, mis-characterize and assassinate the character of Huckabee and his supporters. Its a smear and nothing more.
  • Damian91, on 11/21/2007, -1/+2At least he tried. :

    http://www.wired.com/politics/onlinerights/news/20 ...

    FredThompsonForum.com is one of a small network of sites with prime domain names, like RudyGiulianiForum.com and MittRomneyforum.com, that have sprung up this year and share uncanny similarities. They use the same forum software, are hidden behind anonymous domain-registration services and are served by the same hosting company with a common internet IP address.

    ...Texas lawmaker Ron Paul seems to have escaped the phenomenon. A Ron Paul forum hosted from the same IP address, and with the same layout as the others, is packed with genuine supporters in earnest discussion.
