Pirate's Cove

Welcome to Ronulan World

Jennifer Call’s eyes searched the office for nothing in particular. Her arms waved and her fear spilled out.

“This is where I grew up,” Sutton’s town clerk said yesterday. “This is my hometown, this is where my family is, and all of sudden, my name is being splashed across the internet as this horrible person. And the frightening part is, I don’t know these people and they don’t know me.”

Call wants the nationwide army of boisterous Ron Paul supporters, believers in more conspiracy theories than Oliver Stone, to know that she’s committed no crime.

Not treason, as the dozens of phone callers screamed. Not fraud, as the dozens of e-mails charged. Nothing.

Apparently, the rEVOLution is acting more as a rEVILution.

This is luck at its worst. Screw up Rudy Giuliani’s vote total. Or John McCain’s. Or John Edwards’s. Or Bill Richardson’s.

But never, ever get anything wrong when it comes to Paul and his voting tally. If you do, fans who shouted from the rooftops through the primary season will track you down and chew you out.

“Most of the these people are not rational,” Call said.

They’ve taken the show from the Internet to the Real World, but, apparently, Ronulans still think they are in The World Of Warcraft.

The assault picked up after lunch. Paul supporters phoning Call claimed to be from the media. Others just yelled, saying she had committed treason, fraud. One person said she should be shot. She received as many as 40 calls that day. (snip)

She went home and locked her doors. She called her mother in North Carolina. She cried. The calls kept coming. She unhooked her answering machine and requested an unlisted number.

“I was drained emotionally and physically,” Call said. “That’s when I really started to freak out. Thursday it hit me, that most of these people are not rational. That’s when I became scared.”

Congratulations, Ron Paul supporters, for what you have done to this woman. Do you feel good about yourselves? Oh, what am I saying, considering the support from white supremacists, neo-nazi’s, and Twoofers.

On the flip side, America is getting to see who a good chunk of Paul’s supporters are. Nutjobs. Nasty people.

Update: I was looking for “Why Republicans Do Not Support Ron Paul” article this morning when I wrote this post, but, ran out of time (and patience.) Good news, I found it. I love this part:

So why doesn’t Ron Paul poll higher among Mainstream Republicans that he very much needs to capture the GOP nomination?

The issue is certainly not the message itself.

Partly true. A lot of it is the wacko portion of Paul’s support base. But, yeah, his message of surrender and blame America out liberals the liberals.
