Ron Paul Posters UPDATE

I did some 'investigative journalism' into my blog post from a month ago about Ron Paul posters on campus.  There were a ton of responses, which was weird, but not surprising considering how much Ron Paul supporters love Ron Paul.  So I checked out my traffic sources via Google Analytics and found that a lot of it came from this post from www.dailypaul.com.  The actual post can be found by clicking HURR.  Screencap BELOW:

On the comments for the post I was called a 'woman' and 'dumb/ignorant' which was accurate.  I was pretty pleased with this because I found it entertaining, and it also led to more comments/views on the blog. 

Not sure of the identity of 'thepholiser' but I'm guessing it's a student.  It's really interesting how Paul supporters try really hard to get people to support their cause.  I guess it's cool, IDK.

But then I decided to google 'thepholiser' and came upon a youtube video that was quite interesting...


I think it's safe to say that one of the poster publishers, and the guy who directed traffic/comments to the SMCMLOLBLOG was none other than Gino Hannah.  You can check out more of his music here http://www.youtube.com/user/thepholiser

This information was later further confirmed several days ago.  Someone drunkenly provided me the names of
  • Gino Hannah
  • Adam Ross
  • Greg Dodson
As the Ron Paul poster placers.   INTERESTING...

In conclusion, lately people have complained about the lack of 'investigative journalism' conducted by this blog.  I hope you are happy with this level of 'investigative journalism' and stop complaining.

      1. Thx bb
      2. I'm not really surprised by any. They are definitely in the 'want change, more weed, and less government bs' category of paul supporters I think

    Ron Paul was my favorite candidate for president. Now I'll be stuck voting for Romney. If only those posters would have been left on campus (and put up before the primary), then more people could have voted for Ron Paul. Oh well...

      Hey Anonymous,
      if you have a problem with the level of "investigative journalism" on this blog why don't you start your own news blog and stop whining on this one?

    ron paul is probably a lot closer to Barack Obama in terms of policy than any of the GOP guys who were running. voting for romney as a second to paul is nonsensical

    isn't it obnoxious how rp supporters think that all liberals would love him if they didn't suffer from misconceptions about him? here's a PSA to all paul fan boys: ron paul is right about a lot of stuff but he is as economically retarded as everyone else in the gop
