I once mentioned Ron Paul on another blog as a side comment, and within two hours I got three different commenters posting comments that "corrected" me.
The thing is, I live in the Philippines, and posted the article which was not about Paul, at 2 pm and the comments were there by 5 pm....but the Philippines is 12 hours difference from the US.
Apparantly his supporters have nothing to do but google articles on obscure blogs all through the night.
My take is that this guy's followers are nuts, and that no one in Oklahoma ever heard of him, so why pay attention to the loony fringe.
So I thought this paragraph from Time was hilareous:
Representative Tom Tancredo, another long-shot GOP candidate, tells me that after a debate in New Hampshire, one of his staffers walked up to a guy in a shark costume and asked him if he was a Ron Paul supporter. "No. They're all nuts," replied the shark. "I'm just a guy in a shark suit."
(Headsup the corner)
and yes, I moderate posts on this blog ever since someone commented he wanted to blow up Israel with nukes....
