Lindell: Finks and Cohen don’t represent Paul campaign
By Jessica AlaimoKen Lindell, coordinator of the Maine Ron Paul campaign, said the two men removed from the Maine Republican Convention earlier did not represent the campaign, although both said earlier that they were Paul supporters.
Mark Finks of Falmouth was escorted out of the convention after he tried to speak out against a provision which he said kept Paul’s state delegates from being elected to the national delegation. Ed Cohen had tried to get onto the floor, saying he was a delegate even though officials said he wasn’t.
Lindell said that he had not heard of Finks being a Paul delegate, and that Paul did very poorly in Falmouth.
Cohen had been asked to leave the Waterville Paul delegation. “We don’t want him,” Lindell said.

I never heard of those 2 clowns before
Those punks do not represent Ron Paul or his supporters. Infact I doubt they are even Ron Paul supporters.
just to make Ron Paul's supporters look like morons.
Yesterday night on May 1st
Even after the chaos in Nevada GOP Chairman Senator Bob Beers addressed a couple hundred Ron Paul supporters at the Las Vegas Ron Paul meetup yesterday and he said worst things. Eventhough this was a mostly Ron Paul supporters event nothing even close to this happened there. We are rational Conservatives who know our limits and know how to behave well. 9 videos if you follow the link are living proof of the warmth of Ron Paul supporters even with those we dont agree with.

Those people like Cohen and Fink dont represent us. See for yourself
Infact they maybe paid plants by another campaign to smear Ron Paul and his supporters.
Cooks like that have been planted before!!!
Back in September of 2007 when Dr. Paul was in Chicago - one guy came in by himself, wearing a "9/11 was an inside job" shirt. Purposely positioned himself by the camera - took his shirt off and waved for the camera, stuck around until the speech started and left 5 minutes into it. Next day, in the local media - everyone who reported the event sited this loon being there...go figure.
Go figure
Neither Baba nor J Huntington were delegates or supporters of Ron Paul.
Kenny did not say difinitively that either Mark Finks or Ed Cohen were delegates or not.
Mark Finks was an alternate who had already been slated for upgrade to delegate. His county chair confirmed that to Mark in front of witness thereto, including myself.
Julie O'Brian says Ed Cohen was not a delegate.
"Cohen had been asked to leave the Waterville Paul delegation. “We don’t want him,” Lindell said" Julie is a liar and Kenny loves himself. How could Ed Cohen be asked to leave the delegation if he was not already a delegate?
Mark Finks spoke the only truth during the entire convention, "...after he tried to speak out against a provision which he said kept Paul’s state delegates from being elected to the national delegation."
It is very convenient for you Johney-come-latelys to blame Libertarinans like Mark and myself for the pathetic showing for Ron Paul, but you can thank Kenny for sabotaging the drive, along with Starvros Mendros, Neal Patterson, Mark Durgin, John Michael, Peter and Bonnie Tucker, and others; all of whom were paid staff for Ron Paul.
Quit your whining and stop being a bunch of pussies.
go figure...
ed,
will you please get your facts straight....neal patterson, mark durgn, and bonnie and peter tuckers have NEVER been staff. ok?
