3rd GOP Debate: CNN Removes User Message Boards After People Declare Ron Paul The Winner

After hosting the third Republican Debate, CNN opened a message board on their site entitled, “Who won?”. People were encouraged to add a comment to weigh-in on the candidates’ performance and declare who they thought was the winner. Of the first 175 comments submitted, 155 of the respondents declared Ron Paul the winner.

So what did CNN do? Write a great article about Ron Paul, point out his views and why he has so much support…put the story on the front page of the CNN website and talk about it all day on their so-called news channel? If we were living in a truly free country, yes that would have happened. But instead CNN yanks the message board off-line and pretends it never happened.

Luckily Ron Paul supporters have become used to these childish maneuvers and captured a cache of the CNN.com message boards before it was taken down:

CNN Censors Ron Paul Debate Win - Removes “Who Won?” Message Boards

Final, unofficial tally from the CNN “who won the third GOP presidential debate” message boards:

Ron Paul - 155
Gouliani - 6
McCain - 4
Romney - 2
Hunter - 2
Thompson - 2
Tancredo - 1

It’s interesting to note, the last 6 comments before the boards were taken down, went a vote for McCain, Gouliani and Romney (double vote and this comment, “I am very suspicious of the the Ron Paul lovers on this blog.”), Thompson, McCain, Thompson, and the last comment, “All these Ron Paul posts are irritating and hinder debate.”

You hear that everyone? CNN removes the message boards, but we’re the ones hindering debate.
