Geez you all are an entirely hopeless bunch. Its viral marketing that your seeing here. The idea "Ron Paul" spread across the Internet a long time ago, where real people at individual computers decided to back him. Now as with any zeitgeist (Online cultural no different) it will attack you or support you if you ever mention Paul, quite like being a white guy and saying the "N" word does in real life. Same difference, its not spam its a online paradigm shift that your ignoring.
Missing & Inaccurate Information
Missing information. - The spam is often used to create You Tube Terms Of Service violations backlash that gets legitimate Ron Paul videos pulled off. This part of the spam is an open attack on the campaign.
The following comment is not accurate. - "That fact may suggest Paul's online supporters are stuffing the virtual ballot by voting early and often at political polling Web sites." Reputable polls use one time cell phone or one time IP Address voting to prevent repeat votes.
The inaccurate coverage began at Wired Magazine last week, who promptly issued a disclaimer. - "This article has been modified to clarify that Warner has seen no evidence suggesting that the Paul campaign is responsible for the spam." So I shall repeat my admonition to the first Wired author and her security expert. Shouldn't you have considered your own potential loss of credibility before publishing?
