Stickerbombs and Conspiracy Theories

In light of their recent failures as a political movement, the Paultards have have recently introduced their latest strategy for bringing a swift and sudden victory for the Doctor: The Ron Paul sticker bomb. Because I guess that this is Ron Paul's greatest hurdle, the fact that he doesn't have enough vandalism going on under his name. Because obviously, all those past efforts to bumper sticker the city have worked out really, really well. I know the stock response, "It's not about Ron Paul, it's about the movement." So just out of curiosity, what happens to this sticker when you take Ron Paul out of the equation?

Meanwhile, the Ron Paul Tumblelog finds one DailyPaul poster asking the other DailyPaul posters to cut down on the conspiracy theories. It doesn't go over very well.

And finally, a few notes to all of the anonymous RonPaulogists who like to comment on this site:

  1. When I call you a Paultard, it's not so you guys can start whining about how I hurt your feelings , and how persecuted you are, and how you supposedly have a 180-point internet IQ. No, when I call you a Paultard, it's a challenge, to see if you can prove me wrong by adding a rational argument. For a group of wanna-be revolutionaries, you guys seem to have an incredibly thin spine.
  2. BlogSpot shows me your comments, but it doesn't say which post the comment is responding to. So the only way I know what you're responding to is if your comment somehow makes it clear to me. Here's the deal: If you comment doesn't make it clear to me, then chances are, you aren't responding to any post in particular. And if you aren't responding to any post in particular, then chances are that you aren't responding to any argument in particular. And if you aren't responding to a particular argument, then it's extremely difficult for you to find the flaws of that argument, much less develop an argument of your own. In other words, if it isn't clear what you comment is responding to, then your comment is probably garbage, and not worth publishing. Common examples are the people who accuse me of spreading lies and smears, but who never actually explain why I'm using them.
  3. I've been arguing with libertarians for years and Paultards for months, and honestly, most of your arguments are pretty derivative. Chances are that if you're repeating something that you heard from someone else, then I've heard it as well, and I've already refuted it. If you want to impress me, then try to think on your own for a change. I know that's a lot to ask, from a group that supposedly prides itself for its individuality, but please bear with me.
That's all for now. Peace out.

Paultards paint the town

The Lancaster Online covers the continuing problem of Paultard vandalism.
Here are some highlights:

Lisa Armellino, another member of the group, suspects a Paul opponent of the vandalism. "None of us would ever do that because we know it's against the law. What I think is it's a supporter of another candidate, clear-cut," she said.

There are at least half a dozen examples of Paul graffiti in the city, and three more that have been scrubbed off already: on the Penn Square monument, 3-foot-tall letters on the Lititz Pike bridge near the Lancaster Stockyards, and on the concrete walls high up on Lancaster Square.

"It's difficult to remove this time of year because we can't use our graffiti machine," Charlotte Katzenmoyer, the city's public works director, said. The high-pressure sprayer uses a baking soda-and-water mixture to wipe spray paint from the walls of buildings, but officials fear the water will freeze over on walkways so they don't use it this time of year.
And later:
It's unclear whether the campaign is organized, but a blogger nicknamed "saveamerika" is running what he calls The Ron Paul Spraypaint Revolution, and has posted stencil images of the candidate to download and cut out.

"I must say that Ron Paul would NEVER endorse any kind of illegal graffiti, destruction of property or unauthorized spray-painting to promote his campaign," writes saveamerika." With that disclaimer stated, I urge you to spraypaint the Ron Paul stencils in areas of clear visibility, high traffic and maximum exposure. (think stoplights, stop signs, areas of interstate congestion)
If the Paultards can't even take responsibility for their own graffiti artists, then how the heck do they expect to take credit for an entire country? "No sir, unemployment and poverty didn't take a sudden upsurge as a result of Ron Paul's policies. I'm sure that this is all a conspiracy from an opposing country, hoping to flood our country with illegals in order to make Ron Paul look bad. Libertarian failure is an oxymoron."

Paultards Continue to Deface Our Currency

Someone posted this to Ebay:

You are bidding on a piece of '08 Election History. This is a genuine 10 dollar bill with a stamp that says "RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT" on each side of the Bill.
Hey Paultards, stop pulling this shit. You're not winning any converts by vandalizing the monetary supply, sorry.
