It gets even weirder if you go back to early 2008 because you get a very specific type of person that only existed in that year and that was the obama stans that also thought ron paul was good

    The Ron Paul Revolution was such a wild thing. I really wish I could re-experience it knowing everything I now know. It had to be the first experiment in political astroturfing. If it happened today I would never believe it was organic.

      yeah one of the few RUSHAGATE things I've seen that I do buy is the ron paul shit was one of the first if not the first serious attempt at internet astroturfing for a national political candidate in the US

      edit: by whomever, not by THA RUSHANS
