-== Big whalloping lies. ==
+== External links modified ==
+Hello fellow Wikipedians,
-The section under 'Social Networking' is one big walloping lie. Ron Paul is *NOT* "popular" on Internet social networks; Ron Paul is spammed and shoved down the audience's collective throats by a tiny minority of social sites while the majority are indifferent to the man and express loathing for his followers. Do not insult anyone's intelligence by asking me for a citation, either; go to any social media gathering in question and read the comments yourself.
