2008 Robots for Ron Paul
posted by on November 1 at 0:41 AM
In real life there are no metaphors. There are only results. That’s what I think, anyway.
However, there is definitely a metaphor in here somewhere.
If Texas congressman Ron Paul is elected president in 2008, he may be the first leader of the free world put into power with the help of a global network of hacked PCs spewing spam, according to computer-security researchers who’ve analyzed a recent flurry of e-mail supporting the long-shot Republican candidate. …The e-mails had phony names attached to real-looking e-mail addresses. When lab researchers examined the IP addresses of the computers from which the messages had been sent, it turned out that they were sprinkled around the globe in countries as far away from each other as South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, Nigeria and Brazil.
“The interesting thing was that we had the same subject line from the same IP address, and it claimed to be from different users from within the United States,” Warner says.
One e-mail was designed to look as if it came from within a major Silicon Valley corporation, he notes. But when the researchers looked up the IP address, the computer from which the note was sent was actually in South Korea. Another e-mail that was designed to look as if it came from Houston was sent from Italy.
That pattern led Warner to conclude that the messages had been laundered through a botnet — also a standard spammer practice, though a decidedly illegal one.
Oh, my God.
I hope they identify the staffer who signed up for this, and I hope they lock him in a room under the hot lights until he gives up everything he knows, and I hope they follow up the trail and murder some of these motherfucking bastards.
You don't really think Ron Paul supporters did this, do you?
You must be the kind of person who doesn't figure out who really did it on "Law & Order" until 8:58, when they start playing the creepy music.
PS, don't forget the 5th of November!

I've never seen an episode of Law & Order.
I can tell, Fnarf.
You should try it, helps with the critical thinking faculties.
I think it's hilarious that the only guy who supports the Constitution is the one they accuse of breaking the law.
They suddenly care about the law? Oh good, now maybe we can discuss the constitutionality of attacking a country without a declaration of war!
Nor is there any such thing as a "synonym." Each word has its own, specific meaning.
I was going to crack a joke about how libertarians love free speech so much that they're willing to spam you about it...
But I can't since they've actually tried to help out with how I was mistreated in custody last year when nobody else will.
And the net effect has been that the Ron Paul video being pushed by the spam has been pulled by YouTube. Gosh, if conservative Republicans had any history of dirty trick political campaigns, I would think this might be a way to suppress the Ron Paul campaign.
The hallmark of a nut, as well as an idiot, is that they see everything as a plot against them and their 'Dear Leader'.
RonPaul(tm) has a small legion of very determined followers, nothing more, nothing less. Real polls, not stupid internet pretend polls back that up. When RonPaul gets above 5 or 10% in any real national poll he can start to be taken seriously. Unitl then he is just one more loon with enough money to pay some filing fees.
As far as I read here, the BIG QUESTION hasn't been asked or answered:
Or does the money end up in some scammer's fly-by-night account?
Campaign solicitations -- where widely distributed perfect strangers give to perfectly invisible strangers with no expectation of anything in return, not even a physical receipt, with not even a fleeting physical acquaintance -- are made to order for shenanigans and skulduggery.
"If Texas congressman Ron Paul is elected president in 2008..."
That's the best laugh I've had all day.
I'm so fucking sick of the Ron Paul losers. I've been working in Redmond recently and their fucking signs are all over. They've planted them with the local elections signs. Hello? The fucking presidential election isn't for another fucking year assholes.
One of his jerk supporters even used graffitti to sloganeer for Ron Paul, on the box of toilet seat covers in a hospital bathroom! Classy!
I've got one word for Libertarian idiots.
Roads.
As in, "please go lie down across one"?
"The fucking presidential election isn't for another fucking year assholes."
Yeah but the fucking primaries start in two fucking months fucking, fucking!
Real polls, like the one this guy makes?
There are three kinds of lies. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

The latest poll has Ron Paul at 7%. While I doubt Ron Paul will win the nomination, don't be surprised if he wins New Hampshire and a couple of other states.
A few things that polls don't tell you:
1) Ron Paul has more meetup groups than all the other GOP and Democrat candidates combined.
2)The Internet is becoming more mainstream every day. An overwhelming majority of Americans now have Internet access.
3) Ron Paul has raised more money from military personnel than any other Republican candidate.
4)If polls were always true, someone forgot to tell Presidents Dewey and Gore.
Why can't a debate be held without all the vulgarities??????
Ron Paul seems to be the only candidate with any common sense on how to get this country back on track. However since Common Sense is now dead, I doubt he will win. I certainly hope he does, but with most people in this country being STOOPID............well, y'all figure it out.
