Can someone tell me what this article is saying. Its blocked here at work.
On Tuesday, Florida Republicans went to the polls to vote for the GOP Presidential nominee. Mitt Romney won that race, and Texas Congressman Ron Paul lost - gathering 7 percent of the vote. But some of Ron Paul's supporters feel they've been had. So much so that one started a thread at the Daily Paul website claiming the primary election was rigged. "The media have been preparing us for this by emphasizing (falsely) that Ron Paul is not competing in Florida, but I'm not prepared. I'm sickened," the poster wrote. The next sentence, however, was a bit disturbing: "It looks more and more like the revolution will not be a peaceful one." Reaction was mixed, as some agreed and asserted that other elections were similarly rigged. "Ron Paul Won New Hampshire Rigged 88% Poll on CNN," wrote one person. Others blamed Diebold for the results, falling back on an old conspiracy theory claiming the machines are rigged for a particular candidate. In 2008, Michelle Malkin wrote that the evil machines were blamed by Democrats for Hillary Clinton's loss to Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primary. "How Evil Diebold–controlled by the GOP/Bush mafia, you know–got Hillary Clinton voters to conspire with them is not exactly clear. Tinfoil-hat theories never are," she wrote. One person wrote that the Diebold machines "and those in control" will never give the Texas Congressman fair treatment. Who knew the machines were capable of such a thing? Others blamed "stupid" voters, while a few disagreed with the premise of the thread. "We need to spend less time whining about conspiracy and more time delivering the message to as many people as possible," wrote one person. So far in this election cycle, Ron Paul is 0 - 4, with each primary and caucus giving supporters more reason to claim voter fraud. A Google search using the term Ron Paul election rigged returns over 5 million results. There is another possible explanation for Paul losing the primaries - GOP voters do not like his message and are not voting for him.

A majority of GOP (primary) voters may well not agree with his message. In that case, however, I think they're digging their own graves - however unwittingly.

Ever heard of a proxy?
Most public proxies are known to WebSense and the like, and most web hosts won't let you run a proxy server on their service. It's not hard or expensive to set up your own, though. Apache, proxy software, domain, DynDns.
cporter:Most public proxies are known to WebSense and the like
That's like saying "most phone numbers of phone sex companies are known to the phone police".
Gee. An entire article about a thread on RonPaulForums. They really will try anything.
thanks Freedom for the post.
How in the hell can this pass as an article?

Yes it's from a Dr. Paul forum. But I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. There is a large number of libertarians in Florida. A lot of free staters were from there originally. That's what makes me skeptical.

If you ask me, it doesn't.

You're the reason articles like this find there way into existance in the first place.
Perhaps you could start redeeming yourself with some actual support of anything you say. Hey! You could start with those links you owe me!
Why is it the new thing to appeal to Google search results to demonstrate some kind of logical connection between two things or monitor what is trending? "hitler cheesecake" gives you 6.35 million results. "taco bell library" gives you 4.48 million.
It's the inevitable result of the inclination of people to confirm their bias in any way they can.

I was surprised at the 7% figure, it did not seem authentic. But I have been moaning about election fraud for over 10 years. Which is about as long as I have been following politics.
