If Smerconish actually knows Giuliani, I wonder how he can hold him in the highest regard.
Nevertheless, it's interesting that he should write a favorable column on Ron Paul.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Despite the brickbats, smears, and misrepresentations - as people learn about who Ron Paul really is, his stands, and potential policies - the reality, being the truth, blows away the lies.

Oh boy.. I wonder if Goldi will ban Neil? Get out the popcorn :P
This should be interesting.
I am guessing that if this one passes unremarked there will be another.
The anti-Paul Israbots will of course continue spamming with anti-Paul disinformation and so Goldi will be forced to either ban the Israbots, which she will not do, or take another hypocritical action.
However, trying to ban the guy who wrote the software could be rather difficult to make stick.
I'm sure Neil knows every backdoor into the programming.
This could end up being quite hilarious.
I want REAL Butter on MY Popcorn.

REAL butter is much healthier for you than that nasty oleo.
Oleo? Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! One molecule different from plastic.
And good wholesome sun dried Sea Salt.
Darn it! I may have to go make a batch now.

This entire matter is very curious.. one thing I've wondered is why she was AWOL for 3 or 4 days after dropping the 'bomb' .. as a forum owner, there would be NO way I'd disappear for days after having doing something SO very controversial .. (first I will say I wouldnt do anything of the sort.. ) of course she would have to know there would be a LOT of people who would be very upset.. so why disappear for days? Knowing that they'd revolt and then there would be reason for mass bannings? Just curious.. maybe Im wrong but I find it quite odd..

My guess is that she was watching and waiting the entire time. The lack of comment is a dead giveaway. It is the old "the dog that did not bark in the night" type of datum.
I would also speculate that she anticipated that there would be some who would vociferously protest the heavy handed action and that she wanted to wait to have a fig leaf of pretext for the bannings. That may have been part of the reason for her big public show announcement on it.
Machiavellian, but then those whom we oppose think Machiavelli was a great man.

He's a hasbara most likely, possibly a college student or bright high schooler. Very immature, vile mannered, and crude, but occaisionally will post something more sophisticated - which I suspect is given to him to post.

Which could mean that 'he' is more than one person.. a group of someones working out of a 'boiler room' or perhaps:
If the owner of the site doesn't want such articles then why post them? Why even give such a site the time of day? You can post all your Ron Paul Articles here and on many other mostly censor free forums, so why bother with those that are censoring? They really don't deserve the hits, so forget about them.
Yup there are, by one article I read, a minimum of 40,000 paid posters who visit all types of forums - even Audio Forums where they will bad mouth the competition's gear.
And yes he could be a personality profile operated by more than one person - like yukon.

I was there mainly because it was a battleground site and I, along with a few others, were engaged in combatting the lies being spread from El Pee. No other reason than that and that there were a few sympatico souls with which to struggle.

Did I not read that yukon has posted 12 hours straight or something similar?
Yep.. see the problem is.. people think theyre 'arguing' with actual people who are wrongheaded or that they need to be informed etc.. but in fact they're 'arguing' with paid posters who have no real belief system other than their own pockets.. who knows what their true political ideology is.. no minds are going to be changed..
I get the impression yukon has a "roommate". That or his hormones are on a 24-hour cycle.
I almost started crying when I thought about all those poor, abused puppies.

As 2012 pointed out - at least 14 and there have been times when it seemed like around the clock with only a short break.
Gotta go cook and eat.
Ciao!

Because this is bigger than 4um or LP. This is about the candidacy of Ron Paul, and what's happened on LP, if it hurts Ron Paul, can have an impact on the country. That in small part but certainly much more so if it happens over and over again throughout the internet.
No, this goes beyond the confines of LP, and Ron Paul's candidacy is worth crossing immoral boundries and breaking hypocritcal rules -- if in fact that is what the rules truly are.
Go Neil Go!!! El Pee is now an official site for gang bangs against Ron Paul supporters. Todays' threads consist of Byteshredder stroking his ego posting trite rantings ad nauseum.
Whining, tattling, sniveling and wiping their pathetic little brown noses on Goldi's skirt hem are enough to make me hack my last meal. Had to stretch my legs and get some fresh air.
Thanks Zip, I'm another LP refugee. Ya all are so friendly over here. That's just so refreshing. Had I been more knowledgable about blogging I would've left LP the week after I got there. Oh well, when we know better we do better.

I agree.
For those who feel that they cannot stay on LP: Sorry - Goldi
I was a poster on LP as well as FR .. I left both voluntarily when it became evident that there was muzzled speech and controlled dissent.. we try to have open discussion and the exploration of ideas and views on 4.. and some dont like that much but oh well.. Glad you joined us.
She should be sorry. Her site is now unbearable. Homer posting WHINE threads. Yukie rushing in to validate his gang. Spammy putting anti Paul tripe every ten posts. AuntB doing the same thing. What an echo chamber!

Hello.
It has become quite obvious that Goldi mislead the public. She banned the pro-Ron Paul supporters but keeps all of the anti-Ron Paul posters.
AuntB is out of control as well.

"every time government grows it is at the expense of personal liberty" - Ron Paul "I see the Constitution as being written precisely for one purpose -- to restrain the power of government; never to restrain the people" - Ron Paul
That is very interesting Z. I checked out payperpost.com. They even have a "posticon" convention in vegas. www.postiecon.com
This from their home page:
We're hiring! Are you a genius? Do you eat, sleep, and breathe the Internet and social media? If so you may be the right person for a rewarding career with the most creative group of disrupters out there. Get an Awesome Job!
Interesting isnt it? If they're paying for product placement they're certainly paying for political reasons.. a lot of $ to be made and lost re politics.. Paul is a threat to the establishment..
I'll try and see if I can find more info on this..
AuntBatsh*t crazy's boy DH is not much longer for this race...she'll be hopping in bed with Tancredo and Bay Buchanan along with SillySally before long.
THEN, if Ron Paul doesn't finish strong I predict that *IF* PEE L PEE survives to election, the filthy traitor and her little quislingbots will endorse...RUBY!
I glance at the threads about it here. I did miss a few of the posters there but maybe they'll be here now.

You wanna talk about a person who changed almost overnight! She used to be a real nice person who was as concerned about the loss of liberties as the next guy. Then all of a sudden she became this shrill Duncan Hunter groupie and focused all of her energy on slamming Ron Paul. As if his supporters would actually support Hunter, a friggin' authoritarian warmonger who's never seen an amendment he wasn't willing to piss on. And she makes up or takes out of context alot of what she posts.
Someone should apply and try to make some money on it to see how it works. See if they get any pay offers from the GOP or specific campaigns, or even the "Fair and Balanced", "We report, you decide" folks.

I was just browsing LP. It seems like that Bush Fan guy posted a bunch of articles about CFRed and Julie-Annie and has the bots all in an uproar. They're claiming he's a Ron Paul supporter trying to piss off Goldi-Lox. I find this strange because he's been touting these two sionce the day he arrived on LP. They've complained to Goldi. It would appear that they are trying to make it where only Hunter articles can be posted.
Just a nice little shocker. It does get your attention though. We had one hear last year (Oregon) that slammed into the house like an explosive shockwave. I thought it was going to take the house off of its foundation.
My personal favorite was as a kid in Seattle - the Alaskan Earthquake. It was above 8 in Alaska and was either 7.2 or 7.4 in Seattle. I still remember my Mom yelling at us kids to stand in the doorways till the quake passed. Definitely an interesting experience. I was in a bigger one in Montana when I was younger, but actually slept through it. That one created Earthquake Lake in Yellowstone.

I had just gotten out of the shower. Our small chandalier was swinging along with the pictures on the wall. Took a couple minutes for the swinging to stop.

I remember being on-line with Independent Conservative when she was going through an earthquake in California.
What ever happened to her? She left at the same time Palo left LP as they were friends.
They can be a bit unsettling. Good for shaking the dust loose though. I can't say that I take them for granted but I am fatalistic about them, and fascinated with them - just the way you might be fascinated by anything which is potentially dangerous.
It was interesting that while I was living in So. Cal. that I am one of those people who feel them coming before they hit. I learned that one afternoon when we had a 5.6 hit - a nice little shake, but as I was setting at my desk I found myself thinking "this is not it" there is going to be another one, and sure as shootin' about 20 minutes later we got a 4.7 aftershock. Kind of freaky. I had heard of individuals who were Earthquake sensitives but had no idea I had even a trace of the talent.
