to Ron Paul and Google bomb.  I was initially weakly in support of this article since the term appeared to have some traction in mainstream press, and the term had been used in other (non-Paul) context as early as 2004.  However, it's clear now that the article is just being used as part of the Ron Paul advertising campaign, by Paul's cult-like followers.http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article2821161.ece  This Moneybomb article (and other Paul articles) have become a magnet for edit-warring and |soapboxing, and on the Moneybomb article, the Paul supporters are redirecting everything non-Paul (including the 2004 reference) away to other pages. I agree with the  argument, as there seems a clear intent on the part of the Paul supporters to demand "credit" for inventing the neologism.  If they want to make this case on off-wiki websites, fine, but I don't want to see Wikipedia used as part of this campaign.  The least disruptive course, as I see it, is simply to merge this information (that can be sourced reliably) to the Ron Paul article(s), and redirect the "Moneybomb" term to Google bomb, where a mention can be added of the multiple forms of "Money bomb", from 2004 onwards
