Ron Paul tries to take fansite using UN, possible cover-up?

[Questionable]

So I found this article while reading the Marxist-Leninist blog Red Phoenix:

Seems like trouble is brewing for Ron Paul and his liberty-loving acolytes. In two separate incidents this week, it appears that Rep. Paul is proving things aren’t always as sunny as they seem in Paul-idise.
The first situation started when Ron Paul filed a complaint against his own avid supporters for the rights to domains containing his name.
From RonPaul.com:

Earlier today, Ron Paul filed an international UDRP complaint againstRonPaul.com and RonPaul.org with WIPO, a global governing body that is an agency of the United Nations. The complaint calls on the agency to expropriate the two domain names from his supporters without compensation and hand them over to Ron Paul.

They continue:

If this is the real Ron Paul then everything we worked and fought for these past 5 years has been a sham and a waste.

It seems the originators of RonPaul.com worked hard for years to build and maintain the site, but if Paul prevails in gaining control of the domain name he will reap all of the rewards of their dedication. What a simply superb, yet mildly ironic, life lesson in the cold, hard realities of extreme Ayn Randian self interest for them. As fun as that sounds, we think we’ll stick to our commie, hippie liberal views.
Check out the comments below the post about this fiasco on RonPaul.com. It’s a sheeple-calling, libertarian Lord of the Flies-esque extravaganza! If it weren’t so darned hilarious it would be very sad, indeed.
It also appears that Paul may have been being compensated twice for travel bookings–once from supporters and again by that evil entity Paul and his supporters love to hate, the U.S. government.
From Roll Call:

Rep. Ron Paul appears to have been paid twice for flights between Washington, D.C., and his Congressional district, receiving reimbursement from taxpayers and also from a network of political and nonprofit organizations he controlled, according to public records and documents obtained by Roll Call.

Maybe, just like with the racist newsletters sent out in his name for years–that he likely earned untold amounts of money in subscription fees from–Ron Paul isn’t directly responsible for any of this at all. Ron Paul: Freedom fighter, gold standard-lover, and bastion of personal responsibility.

Red Phoenix and AATTP linked to this article on RonPaul.com where the owners of the site were apparently throwing a fit about Ron Paul trying to take the domain name, but it's been taken down: http://www.ronpaul.com/2013-02-08/ro...s-ronpaul-com/


So now I can't find out anything that's going on. RonPaul.com appears to be going on judging by its front page uploading the generic "YEAH GO RON PAUL" articles these past few days. The only other thing I could find was this video by some Libertarian guy claiming that he doesn't know why Ron Paul would want the website now but that him and the owners of RonPaul.com had previously agreed to deal with it by this method: http://ronpaulflix.com/2013/02/ron-p...m-ronpaul-com/


Does anyone have any clue what's going on with these people? It would be wickedly hilarious if the heroic Ron Paul was actually a scumbag to his fans, but I want more information before I reach that conclusion.

This isn't the first time "freedom-loving" Ron Paul was a complete hypocrite what with his pro-life stance. Still, the Paulites will defend their Dear Leader to death for he can commit no sin.

So Ron Paul first writes racist newsletters, accuses Jon Huntsman of making an attack ad of himself (which was also racist, by the way) and now sues a website run by his biggest fans. What exactly were libertarians enamored with again?
