- FrozenPie, on 01/05/2009, -9/+50This story probably won't make the front page because of Digg's bury brigade seeing the word "RON PAUL" in the title. That's why you never see any Ron Paul articles in the front page anymore... because its being constantly buried and censored.
- WeavingSpiders, on 01/05/2009, -5/+35ssn697, it's too bad that you don't understand the purpose of the Constitution. It is to restrain the government.
- btschul, on 01/06/2009, -4/+33It's hard for me to even look at pictures of this guy anymore. When ever I see his picture or see a video of him talking, I get this sinking "we're *****" feeling in my chest, because I think "The american people had a chance to elect this great man, and instead they chose the most far left socialist big government loving constitution hating propaganda/lie spewing douchebag that was running."
- speciallyblend, on 01/06/2009, -2/+28The only Leader in the Republican Party left is Ron Paul. If the gop continues to alienate us, then we will continue to alienate them. There is one reason why the gop lost colorado and nevada, they alienated there own republicans new and old. The gop lost the election at the state gop conventions in colorado and nevada and you can add many more states to that list:)
The deaf dumb and blind gop are about to walk off a cliff if they do not pay attention to what Ron Paul says, one pissed off registered republican over the gop leaderships corruption!!!! - inactive, on 01/06/2009, -2/+27I'll admit that the Ron Paul supporters were not diplomatic in their method of pushing Ron Paul to the front in the election. I was not initially a supporter... nor was I a supporter through the majority of the election process, but a couple of weeks before the election I spent loads of hours researching Paul and his views. Bypassing his fans sites and going strictly to sound and video clips of Paul speaking. I found his views to be very much in line with my own.
The reality is... Ron needed a better PR front. - richmomz, on 01/05/2009, -4/+28Ron's really stirring things up today; "Ron Paul confirms Israel had US ok for War on Gaza" http://digg.com/politics/Ron_Paul_Israel_Had_US_OK ...
Unfortunately I don't have much faith that this will hit the front page. Ron Paul + anti-Gaza war content = Insta-bury. - bradysbeau, on 01/06/2009, -1/+24The Republicans (just like nolibertarians) are AFRAID of Dr Paul as we all saw by the disrespectful way he was treated not only by the media but by the Republican party. So who did they end up with....The Butt of many jokes and those of us who saw thru their shams dodged a bullet. (can U see Ms Palin in office??) So go on and have your fun. We had and will continue to have our own fun....
- muckemuck, on 01/05/2009, -3/+25If you watched the debate you would have to agree that the questions asked were on target and the candidates clearly spent time considering them ahead of time. Most of the RNC candidates made it clear that they understood that they'll either have to include the Paul supporters (many of whom are long time Republicans like myself), get back to a platform of smaller federal government and more states rights, or they'll continue losing.
- henri3, on 01/06/2009, -1/+19The Ron Paul Army!! will not go away quietly. Wake Up RNC
- CoolHandLuke70, on 01/05/2009, -5/+22NoLiberties, If it is a 9/11 OR Ron Paul article/video posted on Digg, you never fail to make an appearance. Why is that if you do not care for either? Why do you spend so much time bothering with these articles and vids if you detest Ron Paul and 'truthers'? How is that "constructive" like you have advised others to be? It seems deranged. The irony here is that you talk about 'spammers' when you have to be one of the most industrious spammers on Digg. There have to be other hobbies that are both "constructive" and healthy for you.
- cdominus, on 01/05/2009, -4/+21Don't feed the troll
- card51short, on 01/05/2009, -7/+24you're so obsessed with your Ron Paul conspiracy theory that you're talking to yourself these days hahaha hilarious.
- inactive, on 01/05/2009, -5/+21What your pitifully small mind fails to grasp is that his message was heard and a grassroots following was formed unlike that which has been seen in many years. The fire of liberty has been lit and many have decided THAT was the flame to follow versus the never ending ***** smoke and mirrors fed to us by those who wish to extinguish the fire that is growing.
I'm glad you're on the other side. You do them much more harm than good. - dcbpe, on 01/05/2009, -6/+21"gut the Constitution, to support his fundamentalist views."
Really? Does your Ron Paul sport a goatee too? - kemp34, on 01/05/2009, -4/+19So, NoL, you champion giving trillions in taxpayer funds to bankrupt cronied financial institutions? Nice.
- richmomz, on 01/05/2009, -3/+18"Fortunately, nothing on the Internet means anything." So then why are you here?
- badqat, on 01/05/2009, -2/+16And just what, pray tell, has your "mainstream" republican party achieved? Getting slapped in the presidential campaign...check. Getting slapped down in the last two congressional and senate elections...check.
You may hate liberty, and aspire to be nothing more than democrat-lite with a dollop of social conservatism and religious fundamentalism thrown in...but that's going to continue to get republicans defeated over and over again. - tkubic46, on 01/06/2009, -1/+15The R3VOLUTION is just getting started!
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -1/+14Heres something for the Ron Paulians:
http://digg.com/world_news/Digg_This_for_the_Decri ... - Notasheeple, on 01/06/2009, -0/+13It's really a shame that the same douches continue to show their faces on these threads.
They just don't understand the determination of real freedom fighters.
Give up. You know you cannot win. Join us now before there is no quarter.
Open war on the NWO! - Ciryon, on 01/05/2009, -2/+15And what about the Obama supporters?
- shycyberguy, on 01/06/2009, -2/+15The truth doesn't need any PR!
- badqat, on 01/05/2009, -1/+14@ alanocu - true...but something changed after the Contract with America. Republicans began to spend like drunken sailors on shore leave. Spend, spend, spend, and spend.
The level of control the win after the Contract w/America allowed Congress to put on Clinton was excellent. Now, thanks to republican failure to continue these practices, we're faced with Obama in the White House, Pelosi in change of the house, and Dingy Harry in charge of the senate.
I hope we're able to win back at least one chamber in 2010...otherwise, we'll be paying for this crap for years.
@ NoLibertarians - I'm not affiliated with a third party, you dolt. - jaymzdean, on 01/05/2009, -3/+15The lies just pour out like so much piss.
- jaymzdean, on 01/05/2009, -2/+14The lie coming from the Ron Paul hate brigade is that Paul's We The People Act guts the first amendment, when, no, it doesn't touch the first amendment (Thank the Republic), but, instead and in effect, re-instates the tenth amendment which "each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right". The bill basically arrests back power to the people, and that's why you'll see trolls here trying to muddy the waters with ***** and stinky lies (are you listening, ssn697?) so's you can't see the bill for what it is...a path towards regaining your intrinsic liberty.
- Thinbev, on 01/06/2009, -1/+13If the Republican (and Democratic) party doesn't embrace the original American message of personal freedom and individual liberty, then 2012 doesn't look good for them... Millions of Americans are getting very tired of power-hungry politicians pretending that they know how to "manage" our money and personal lives.
It's becoming more and more obvious that the two-party system is showing signs of fracture. More and more people are realizing they no longer function properly. - richmomz, on 01/05/2009, -1/+13...Bueller?
- richmomz, on 01/06/2009, -2/+14Viva la R3VOLUTION!
- turbomofo, on 01/05/2009, -3/+14We will always have our emergency government repair kit...and if they come for that, then its ON like a *****!
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+11NoLibertarians is a sad little bastard who has no friends; he has to come here and troll for some form of human contact.
If he wasn't such a piece of *****; I'd feel sorry for him. - StopTheLie, on 01/05/2009, -2/+13And so the answer is:
If you want to "destroy something" on Digg (a person or topic that you oppose) all you have to do is pay a bunch of people to submit endless stories pertaining to that person or topic. (Hell, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would do this "work" for free.)
Nevermind the "merit" of a particular story...people will immediately bury it because it references something they've been conditioned to reject out of hand. -sounds like a plan. - rocke86, on 01/05/2009, -4/+15'Ron Paul supporters seem completely clueless aobut how badly Ron Paul wants to gut the Constitution, to support his fundamentalist views."
Completely illogical for someones who's goal is to strictly follow the constitution. - stonebear, on 01/06/2009, -2/+12The only Republican I could get behind. Outside of an airport men's room, that is.
- richmomz, on 01/05/2009, -1/+11@NoLibertarians - I think you are confusing Libertarianism with Anarchism.
@ssn697 - Was there a screen door on your submarine by chance? - jaymzdean, on 01/05/2009, -2/+11Yes, I searched and the only links out there are you, stating that as fact, and like now, never providing a link.
Holy *****, you're weak. - richmomz, on 01/06/2009, -2/+11@NoL - It's kind of hard to call it a 'loan' or 'stock purchase' when they won't even disclose who is receiving the money.
- richmomz, on 01/05/2009, -2/+11NoLibertarians - "You can find these facts right on the websites..I found them, you sure as hell can..."
Immediately followed by,
NoLibertarians - "To find the links would take hours..."
rofl - libertygal76, on 01/06/2009, -1/+10LOVE IT!!!!
- jaymzdean, on 01/06/2009, -0/+8LoL...
Your original/false assertion was that the author of the above article was working to destroy the Republican party, but then, when the article is posted, you're revealed as a stinky liar and are reduced to subjective criticisms which in no way relate to your original lie!
LOL!
Give it a rest, *****-for-brains. - alanocu, on 01/05/2009, -3/+10LOL other than the Republicans winning the last 7 out of 10 elections before Obama and occupying the White House 20 of the last 28 years, what are we comparing this achievement to? The big picture tells the story, not the just the last election.
- asus2000, on 01/05/2009, -5/+11Digg did it.
- jaymzdean, on 01/05/2009, -1/+7"When he writes a bill specifically designed to take away Constitutional rights from women, gays, and non-christians"
Lol. Hey, link to where the legislation says anything like that or you're fessing-up to having breath that stinks of lies. - realunderdog, on 01/07/2009, -0/+6"Digg is a fun site, don't read anything more into it's relevance..You should know how useless the Internet is for politics"
Translation: My masters got really shook up at how well the internet was able to expose how the cfr controlled media was slanting their coverage against Ron Paul.
We are really afraid of the common people who love liberty starting realize that they have a chance to beat us and the internet is a great weapon that we do not yet have fully under our control like we have TV and Radio.
They hired people like me to get on the internets and tell you that you are losing. - lonelymiddle1, on 01/05/2009, -2/+8SSN, I see what you're saying but from Dr. Paul's perspective it is just a way to kick the Fed Gov out of the deliberations. Sure, this means that the Fed wouldn't be able to help solve disputes relating to separation of church and state, but it at least gets it out of the picture completely. The federal government wouldn't have authority to establish a religion. The state government, theoretically could, but I wouldn't want to live in that state, and obviously neither would you. The thing with liberty is that lots of evil things are theoretically possible, but the hope is that we can teach people the joy and responsbility of freedom before they do those evil things.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -1/+7I am a Democrat/Socialist, but I feel all should be heard!
- WeavingSpiders, on 01/05/2009, -3/+9Ya, because the mainstream media ignored him. You know why? Because the mainstream media is owned by the largest corporations in the country, which also control our political system. They had a love fest with Obama, so what does that tell you about Obama's policies? He is very pro-establishment, which is essentially anti-poor and middle class. Socialism is a trick. Corporations get far more socialism than people, because they have more money to control the political system with. All we have is education, but it's difficult to do when you have un-relenting media propaganda. Stop falling for it.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -2/+8@badqat: You forgot gutting the Constitution and doubling the National Debt.
- Tbyrd073, on 01/06/2009, -1/+6Oh so like someone questioning Obama in an Obama article? Sounds like Obama articles should be banned/buried automatically too. Makes sense to me I will have to apply that.
Because as far as I am concerned Obama articles.
1. Are spammed onto Digg over and over and over.
2. In said stories, anyone with a differing viewpoint is buried regardless of merit.
3. Obama supporters refuse to allow any discussion of their glorious leader.
Simple and straighforward you never learned sarcasm doesn't help. Congratulations! -
