I just found this on youtube, what do you think?

This technique is well known:
Appeal to fear: Appeals to fear seek to build support by instilling anxieties and panic in the general population, for example, Joseph Goebbels exploited Theodore Kaufman's Germany Must Perish! to claim that the Allies sought the extermination of the German people.

Naturally the common people
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

We have the second amendment
We have the second amendment to stop things like this, do not ever be afraid to fight for you freedoms.
I see why someone has posted about betterhalf being a troll.
Won't watch this film
But I believe it may be posted by a non Ron Pauler judging from the response it is getting. Ron Paul is not about fear. He does not spread fear and nor do his followers. But yes, I agree you persons posting are to be watched carefully. Ron Paul is about the truth that has been hidden from the people since 1913 and possibly before. If you are afraid of what you hear from the truth, then it is way past time for you to dig and find out what is going on so it can be changed. But this administration will put cops on video pushing people around, how communism took over the people and any other fear tactic to get people to shut up and follow peacefully. Any time some of these people posting here agree, I must wonder what the subject is. I'm just glad we now have the other password only site we can go to. Ask your best Ron Paul friend and you won't have to run into people who are trying to turn the herd.
Are you joking
half the posts here, which are supposed Ron Paul supports, seek to to do nothing but promote fear and doom and gloom
... and what exactly are you
... and what exactly are you promoting?
"But, indeed, no private person has a right to complain, by suit in court, on the ground of a breach of the Constitution. The Constitution it is true, is a compact, but he is not a party to it."
Sanity
or haven't you listened to many posters who said they have left this site because of exactly what I've said....Even if some folks darkest wishes come true for the economy do you really think someone who has been devastated will be receptive to a "I told you so"..I am also promoting more what can we do to get Dr Paul elected threads rather than troll threads and doom and gloom threads....yesterday there were several great ideas posted that got less than 2 responses but the "troll" thread about me got 80..You tell me what this is all about..There used to be some really great discussion here but now it's mostly who can make the most dire predicitons
The only people I have seen leave
are the ones that make a "grand exit" for the world to see. Lol.
A little drama mixed in with an attempt to sway public opinion. Funny stuff.
Obviously
you haven't been watching the number on this site and the very poor numbers in the last few primaries..Folks are leaving..Tuesday should help decide if you or I am right...the best numbers I get show us tops at 6% in any of those states..Time will tell
Lol...one day will decide.
Funny stuff.
Yes
One day and then several more primaries...We can then see what direction the support is currently going...and texas should be a huge yardstick as a primary
Perhaps you have
what the mainstream media is reporting confused with reality.
It's only February. Lots of year to go.
Nope
the number for this site are at the bottom of the page..and i generally get my numbers fron UsaElectionpolls...and so far in all the primaries they have been more accurate than zolgby...Guess we'll have to wait just two short days to see if they are right or wrong...and I agree there is time, but my honest assesment of the GOP is they will never give us the nomination
You're thinking short term.
We've got a lot of year left.
Short term
yes, there isn't a lot of time left in the primary season.....And if we don't get the nomination at the convention we cannot win the general no matter what happens..I think Dr Paul has already said that..At any rate I should have given you a link:

Feb projections should be posted soon
Fear messages are how hey control us
that is why I get pissed when I have to watch a TORRENT of fear messages here at the Daily Paul.
Famine, disease, collapse, martial law....etc...
This site is about hope and freedom. Jeff Rense and Alex Jones are in charge of bumming everyone out.
I recommend you stop watching the TV as it is how you are controlled. About 10 days to 2 weeks after you stop watching it you are a new person.
Try it. It's free! Just like you.
Unify
Correct
trying to scare people into voting for Dr Paul has been an utter failure
It's sad
fear messages are the dominant posts and they get real old
It's sad that we seem to be
living in a very scary world at this time.
At least that's what we are being constantly told by the mainstream media and the powers that be. People will react to that promotion of fear.
If you don't like these kinds of posts, I don't understand why you even respond to them.
Just a thought, huh.
I respond
because like the "truthers" all these fear posts actually hurt our campaign
I give the American people
a little more credit than that. I think most can filter out the noise and come up with their own conclusions based on a little critical thinking.
Yes, they get old, but
to bury your head in the sand is not a wise choice either.
We need to know the truth all the while discussing the answer.
I agree
unfortunately much of it is not the 'truth"..
Wow...
That will give you chills. Yikes
