The Greatest Ron Paul Conspiracy Theory
Weekly Editorial:
I’ve recently read about how the state republican parties are trying to change the rules to eliminate Ron Paul supporters from the ranks of the delegates. Surprisingly (as a Ron Paul supporter) I find comfort in this report. At least the Ron Paul detractors finally admit there may be more than a couple supporters and that they are everywhere.
For the longest time, Ron Paul supporters were believed to be clever gremlin type creatures who created mischief and disappeared, if seen at all. These mythical creatures were rumored to be the creation of one lone internet spammer who lived in his mother’s basement and singlehandedly perpetrated the largest Sanjaya effect on the electorate.
I know the Ron Paul supporter(s) is supposedly the largest group of conspiracy theorist(s) ever assembled, but let’s look at some of the conspiracies assembled about the lone Ron Paul supporter. (Since Ron Paul seemed to be pretty much beyond reproach, conspiracies of this evidently busy supporter abound in large numbers.)
O Politicians were “threatened” in person (even on their front porches) by this deranged Ron Paul supporter.
O Glenn Beck had the “swat team” protect him after a “serious” death threat.
O RP signs were planted everywhere by phantom and holographic supporters. The lone Ron Paul supporter evidently learned from the Federal Reserve and created 10s of millions of dollars in campaign contributions from thin air.
O The Ron Paul supporter was accused of racism. The racist quotes were posted everywhere but the supporter who wrote them was never located or named.
O The RP supporter was blamed for all kinds of mischief ranging from the satirical Fred Thompson forum to any rumor appearing on the internet supporting any and all off the wall conspiracies.
O Two or three Ron Paul supporters were constantly blamed by Sean Hannity for tens of thousands of spammed votes after debates. This clever spammer somehow got around FOX NEWS’ 1 vote limit. (No one has figured out how, yet.) This resulted in Ron Paul winning the debates by the viewers (or viewer.)
However, with all these threats, acts of violence, and other reported mischievous occurrences, the mystery remains: Who was behind it all? I have yet to hear of an arrest made of a Ron Paul supporter who threatened the politician on his front porch. Did Glenn Beck’s swat team ever find the source of the threat? No names have ever been named. Was the mysterious RP supporter behind the myriad of different hoaxes ever confirmed? The one or two conspiracy nut job spammers behind the tens of thousands of post debate polls are still at large to this day.
Now the local GOPs are changing the laws to bar these figments of imagination created by one spammer from going to the GOP convention. This leads me to the question. Who are the true conspiracy nut jobs?

It was me. And all of the comments above and below this comment are mine. I am the master H@X0RZ!
Comment by Baba Padmanabhan on 15 April 2008:
Yeah, the same guy prevented Larry King’s interview with Dr. Paul the night before Iowa Caucus go unaired. The same nut job ensured that Dr. Paul’s interview with John Stossl for 20/20 didn’t get aired. Also, he was somehow behind his ban from the debate in NH the weekend before the primaries there….hmmm, makes you wonder.
Comment by Jake in Seattle on 15 April 2008:
Here in Seattle the McCain folks were hyper crazed to prevent any “meddling” in GOP politics by the Paulistas. They came out in force in King County to make sure that Ron Paul supporters didn’t stand a chance to add more delegates to the state convention. (Up north one county was “stormed” by RP supporters such that the majority of state delegates went to RP supporters - go Bellingham!). I suspect that “outside” our highly democratic/neoconatic metropolis there is an army of RPs waiting to storm the state convention. Oooooooo…watch out - we’re nutjobs.
Comment by Sandy on 15 April 2008:
I was at the King County convention also.
It was a joke!What a waste of time and money.The good old boys realy like McCain
and love the war!But I am a delegate going to the State convention next month!
It should be very interesting!
Comment by Leonardo on 15 April 2008:
And in the end, they will ALL expose their own skins and Dr. Paul’s humbleness shine!
A freethinker will always fascinated of seeking and speaking of truths “guided by high morals & principals”
“Freedom, Prosperity and Peace” that’s the America I know.
Thank you, Dr. Paul for the seed you’ve planted.
In my eyes YOU’VE ALREADY WON!

Liar, it wasn’t you. It was me. I haven’t left my mother’s basement for over 40 years.
Comment by Rosco1776 on 15 April 2008:
Great! Happy tax day everyone, hope you are getting at least some of YOUR money back! Ron Paul 2008!
Oh yeah, I’m over 50 so I was posting all that from my own basement. :p
Comment by Knee Jerk on 15 April 2008:
Political parties are just private, non-profit special interest groups. They can set their rules however they want. And, like any for-profit corporation, they’re free to lie as much as they want. How they manage to fool most voters all the time, I’ll never know.

Just wait till Billy Kristol tells Juan Williams about this nut job on the loose, The whole election will, of necessity, be Diebolted.

I think we are doomed
Comment by dmv on 15 April 2008:
It was a couple of 12 year olds who can’t vote who created the mischief, everyone knows that

HELP!!! over and over til their heads all pop.
Comment by SuperTruth on 15 April 2008:
The lone hacker that manipulated the polls has cloned himself. Now they have to deal with 300 million Ron Paul supporters invading the new world order territory!
Comment by hardly dismayed, ky on 15 April 2008:
I have been subjucated to the alternate delegate list as a result of shady dealings and last minute rule changes at our county convention. Kentucky will show up for RP though. wait and see.
Comment by sunshnin on 15 April 2008:
There’s hope…a bunch of us RP supporters applied for REC (Republican Exec. Committee) membership at the county level in FL and we now have several of us in. I am now an alternate committee member and if the regular member is absent during a vote, I’m in. It’s really easy. All you have to do is attend a monthly meeting. State, Federal…any level, let’s get busy!!!
Comment by RonPaulio Montoya on 15 April 2008:
Hello. My name is RonPaulio Montoya. You killed my country. Prepare to die.
Satire aside, Dr. Paul is no nutcase. He is probably the most knowledgable person in economics in DC today, and he has been spot-on the economic woes we face, warning us of what was coming and is now here.
Comment by hardly dismayed, ky on 15 April 2008:
In other places its as simple as coming to three consecutive business meeting of the county REC. Thats the way it is here. Luckliy I got voted in and hold the youth-chair position.
Comment by Kim on 16 April 2008:
Thank you Dr. Paul for showing us what a representative republic SHOULD be.
Comment by DJ on 16 April 2008:
Heh… thanks for the article, man. Goes to show the detractors have been drinking way more koolaid then a minority of supporters. My favorite is when James Kirchick is telling Tucker Carlson on MSNBC that Ron Paul speaks in racist code.

Let me get my racist decoder ring. I’m sure Ron has hidden racist messages in his manifesto he recently wrote with the help of his good friend of 20 years, Texas NAACP Director Nelson Linder.
Comment by blakmira on 16 April 2008:
This one mysterious person can take credit for the donations, the texting, the Internet spamming and the threats, but it was I who put up all the Ron Paul signs all over the United States. Boy, am I tired!
Comment by Jason on 17 April 2008:
I blame John Galt…
Comment by R.C. SPO on 17 April 2008:
Hey great to hear about Bellingham to bad about King county. Those Mccain folks are some really informed people…. LOL! On the east side in Spokane we elected 107 out of 111 possible seats for Ron Paul. It is a bummer that some conservatives actually think they must vote for Mccain to keep a democrat out of the white house. They actually think 12 billion a month for a war is conservative? Not to mention the cost for the “empire” annually. Go figure.

Comment by chere on 20 April 2008:
I never believed a conspiracy one before this election. Now ..everything is suspect. Be careful there are trolls in our meet-up groups.
Comment by liber8US on 20 April 2008:
I’ve been running the whole show the entire time and nobody has known it but me. The look on the faces of the FOX guys after i hacked their poll was priceless. When i gave Dr. Paul his cues via bug-in-the-ear technology at the republican debate, i was on a constant LOL. There was a time or two that he didn’t understand me ’cause i was laughing too hard, did you notice that by the “electability” question?
Wait until i pack out the BIG guns.
