While I was in the happening berg of Granbury, Texas this weekend, I saw a sign championing Ron Paul nailed to a telephone pole. It was made out of a 3′x2′ piece of plywood, and was hand painted.
Who needs to buy and distribute signs and stickers for your candidacy when your supporters will hand make their own sign out of some left over stuff in their garage.
“I told you I was hardk0re grassr00tz.”
Seeing that I read digg.com more regularly than I should, I’ve noticed that people really like to call any story about Ron Paul spam, even when its on a social site whose entire purpose is to submit and vote for things you like. Given that some people seem to really like Ron Paul’s presidential candidacy, and those same people also seem to know how to use Digg, I would think that this is the natural order of things. However, this being the internet, it seems any factually baseless detraction against things you don’t like are the order of the day, and gosh darn it we have a petition too. If I don’t like it it’s spam, and it’s destroying the internet and causing global warming and making Al Gore cry.
So, tonight my spam filter jumped on the bandwagon.
Oh, and once again this is not about what went on in Greece, and for that I’m truly sorry. Really.
