rottingnation.com — Ron Paul has received more contributions from the military than any other candidate. Fox News reported on this but seemed to imply that people were lying about their occupations when donating to Paul?s campaign! You can bet they would be singing a different tune if it were McCain or one of the other ?front-runners? on the top of this list.

"I don't know, it seems what they are saying is true. When I donated to Dr. Paul I could have put any employer I wanted in the text box. So although the way they approached the segment was rude, I'd rather have them report it then ignore it."While this may be true, they could do some real reporting and verify or disprove the claim. Also, I guarantee they wouldn't have even mentioned that if the results came out with a 'front-runner' on top.

For this to be true, there would have had to be some sort of coordinated effort that would have almost certainly been exposed. I think FOX know this was likely untrue, but seems to have no problem reporting on what's 90% untrue. FOX is useless now—it's no longer a right-leaning broadcast but more of an extension of the Bush/Cheney/Rove propaganda machine._

$15000. Assuming an average contribution of $100, that means 150 people in the armed forces contributed.

Chances are, Fox didn't tell the truth. Just going off of their reputation here...BTW Thanks for the donation.
