I'm amazed at the childish name calling and complaining here and on the streets

I actual hope that no potentially new supporters come here sometimes. You go to hucksarmy and the posts are all polite, mostly well thought out. I don't know maybe they have a moderator to remove foul language and people that incite violence.
But more importantly than some posts here being written by what sounds like angry kids are the constant requests to email bomb people.
If everyone was email bombed that was suggested here, it's no wonder the GOP and the media HATE US.
In conclusion, I hope that everyone would look at their actions before they post them and ask themselves, what is the blowback?
I have been in business for a long time and have had to deal with people my whole life. A well thought out request, generally gets a well thought out answer. A rude request gets ignored, and the person is never listened to again. My 2 cents.

100% agreement.
I totally agree. In the last couple of days there have been many posts on the main page with foul language and name calling. In addition I have seen at least two threads in the last couple of days talking about Hitler or the Gestapo. I know censorship is bad but DP needs a moderator badly if it to remain family friendly. It seems that people do not have enough self control to moderate their own language. Unless people really want this to turn into an x-rated site then some swear word filters need to be put on or something.
I agree.
I agree.
People
address this problem often. Some supporters are a little too passionate. Continuing to call attention to it will not eliminate it. Do your part by contributing to the positive posts.

I agree with you, but Hucksarmy hasn't experienced the frustrations of being ignored and called a long-shot repeatedly. I think most of the attacks you mention involve the MSM to some degree. They have been and are our biggest obstacle.
Do you think we could overcome the obvious blackout of Dr. Paul with polite emails requesting we see and read more about our candidate in their offerings? I don't. I understand what you are saying about the negativity but there is no way you could ever expect to keep every single one of the Paul supporters from venting a little from time to time.
If anything, I think the grassroots prominence in this campaign is a little too much so. The MSM has made it apparent that if we want Dr. Paul's name and message to be heard, we are going to have to do it ourselves. For the most part, I would say the majority of us are learning as we go in this regard. If you have any suggestions on how to get more MSM face time for our candidate, we would be happy to hear them.
All this being said, I feel we need a win badly. I never would have imagined second place finishes, beating Giuliani over and over, beating all the candidates at least once, and raising significantly more than the others would not be enough to garner top tier status but it looks like that has become the case. One thing is certain, Paul's message is clearly a threat to those in control. There is no other logical explanation for them to be ignoring him.
anyone agree
or is this not a well thought out post?
