Paulnuts Find Blogmeister USA
I have a modest little blog that doesn't fly very high on the radar. So imagine my surprise upon receiving the following e-mail:
Dear UnAmerican Blogger,
Talk more about Ron Paul in your blogs, please. No one is interested in corrupt
Kleptocrats that will never win the nomination. Ron Paul will win, and you will be shunned if you keep talking about Kleptocrats.
I'm from Connecticut also.
Thank You,
Lew (last name deleted for privacy)
P.S. If you sincerely don't know about Ron Paul, my apologies. Please Google Ron Paul ASAP.
My reply:
Dear Lew,
I write about whom I please. I know who Ron Paul is, and while he has some good ideas about taxes and smaller government, I find his isolationist rants not only unrealistic, but scary in today's world. He may have raised a lot of money, but there's no way he'll win either the nomination or the general election, even if he runs on a third party ticket.
If my posts about "Kleptocrats" means that I'll be shunned by people belonging to the Ron Paul "cult," I'll be happy to continue down the same path. Trying to coerce me to write about your candidate with silly threats is ridiculous. Who's being un-American here?
Thanks for writing...it's been very illuminating!
Pam
I've seen how Ron Paul's supporters (more like followers) deluge comment sections at other blogs, and it makes me laugh to think that my writing about this guy could make him more than just a tiny blip on the nation's radar screen.

You must have spelled out his name. The Ronulans regularly google for it, then descend upon any site that doesn't mention The Paul in an appropriately worshipful way.
R0n P4vl works, so far, by the way.

Time to call an exterminator???
Hey, Paulnuts... your candidate is a kook and the Dems' wet dream GOP candidate and we are NOT voting for him! Get lost!
(Now they can bother me instead. Heh!)
Posted by: Mr. Right at January 3, 2008 11:46 PMHi Pam,really like the website. I don't know if you've seen this before, but you might be shocked to read this column by Eric Dondero, a guy who used to work for Paul. I thought Paul was a pacifist after watching one of the debates, but this confirmed it, and also confirmed that the guy is an absolute loon. At least in my opinion anyway.
