We were hacked. As you would all assume, We DO NOT support Ron Paul.

I would LIKE to think that Paul supporters savvy enough to do so would also be smart enough to realize the likely odds of blowback involved, as this is one of Paul's big lessons. If some (idiotic, IMHO) Paul supporters are actually doing this, it's no good and is indefensible as far as I'm concerned - even if the net outcome falls in Paul's favor.
To Paul opponents - if you validly oppose Paul for policy differences, well and good - we can discuss that as needed. But to oppose Paul simply as a result of his supporters is nothing less than ignorant, regardless if I understand it from a psychological standpoint or not. If that's how you make decisions regarding politics, it's to your own shame.
A very brief time in just two Ron Paul threads on ATS would indicate otherwise. The Ron Paul fans here are angry, mean, rude, spoiled, selfish, childish, etc. I cannot believe how many personal insults and just plain rotten remarks I had to read in response to the idea that I might not worship Ron Paul and pledge my first born to him.
I think looking at what Ron Paul fans are doing right here on ATS leads me to believe this is exactly what they would do without thinking ahead. I see far too many of them already doing things without thinking ahead. I have seen more than one Ron Paul supporter say to another poster "We don't want your vote anyway, go vote for X" Yeah, that is a clever supporter thinking ahead there telling people to vote for others.
I am getting really sick and tired of being outright attacked for saying that I do want to discuss some issues. I am not even an OPPONENT, just someone with some questions. I sure am not supporting anyone else at the moment and I think Newt supporter has a longer road to travel than a Paul supporter in order to convince me he is the guy but I am really tired of trying to go down that road and just getting beat up for it.
You guys need to have a meeting and maybe you can explain to the rest of them how to discuss.
