***brüno scene with ron paul***

[0zzy]

YouTube - Full Brüno Ron Paul Scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VOm7SvwB98)


that guys ***** than the blazes, he took his clothes off, let's get going, he's *****, crazy, tried to hit on me, and took his clothes off.

THERE YOU HAVE IT! The magnificent homophobic we call Ron Paul!

Really now? We have to be PC in situations like this? "Don't call him a *****, because by saying that, you somehow assume all *****s are crazy who try to hit on you." f that bullcrap.

[0zzy]

oy! outrage with me before this is deleted!

ps: some say this was 5 minutes long, but this is only 2. obviously the 2 most important minutes :X.

[Pauls' Revere]

Who the hell set him up with this? I see no problem with him calling him a *****. Many gay folks use that term. I'm upset this wasn't researched by his staff better to avoid it altogether.

[Kludge]

lololol, Ron Paul looked absolutely terrified.

Bruno's crew is pretty professional at what they do.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1164568/How-Sacha-Baron-Cohen-created-31-fake-companies-make-new-movie-Bruno.html

They set up 31 fake companies to make the movie. You could research all you want, but all you are going to find is a fake company.

[BenIsForRon]

It's kind of like that show The Office, you're just have to laugh because it's so damn uncomfortable.

[Conza88]

Awkward fessssttt.

Fck off Cohen.

[ProBlue33]

I agree with Ron Paul, that guy is "***** as blazes" I would be mighty ticked off if a gay man suckered me into a hotel room like that and disrobed.

Screw the PC. Call it like you see it, like Ron Paul, I am sick of this BS PC that people are trying to shove down our throats. After all that's part of our hard earned freedom of speech too.

But it is funny in a way, the audience laughed.

[sevin]

It just annoys me that now when I talk to the average joe about Ron Paul they're gonna say, "Oh, you mean that homophobe from Bruno?"

[JoshLowry]

Not much laughter from the audience.

Ebert deliberately misrepresented the scene.

[coyote_sprit]

Not much laughter from the audience.

Ebert deliberately misrepresented the scene.

My thoughts too, that scene is so short that you have to intentionally misrepresent to get anything out of it.

[BudhaStalin]

In the end we must all learn how to laugh at ourselves but I find this kind of hard to even snicker at. I enjoyed Borat, and im pretty sure ill enjoy Bruno as well but I am most definitely unhappy at this. Of all the crooked and ass-hatted politicians out there, Cohen had to pick the most humblest and friendliest one. Maybe Barney Frank would have made a better choice.

[Conza88]

It just annoys me that now when I talk to the average joe about Ron Paul they're gonna say, "Oh, you mean that homophobe from Bruno?"

Nah, that was Ru Paul..

:o

Hopefully that's how it is remembered..

[Uriel999]

I thought that was pretty funny. And within the context of the situation nobody can blame him for his reaction.

[Steeleye]

I loved it when he yelled at him. "Get outta here!" I've never heard him raise his voice in anger like that.

Also: "*****er than the blazes." I'm going to use that now.

[paulim]

Because of this discussion I watched Borat on the interwebs (glad I didn't pay for it). Tell me, what is funny about that kind of stuff? Its pretty obvious what will come next in every scene, the statements are prepared and always aimed at TSHTF. The whole film is about betraying the trust of others, well done.
Now, this Ron-scene is the same, except that Ron is one of the few characters who are able to restore the order at the end... Thanks for this tube, saves me money again.

[Objectivist]

That was classic stupid pulling a stunt on someone Dr. Paul' age.
I'd have grabbed is dick and dragged him out in the freekin street, oops SACK CHECK!

That was WAAAAYY not cool.

I guess when you have nothing of a routine stick your balls in peoples face is your only way to entertain.

Bring back Jackass!

[MRoCkEd]

poor dr. paul... wow lol

[pacelli]

I was impressed how Ron was just quietly standing there reading the paper while keeping an eye on Cohen. As soon as the pants were off, Ron was out. I don't think his reaction was inappropriate at all, nor his verbal comments. Cohen is lucky Ron didn't deck him.

By the way, what in the hell happened to all the graphic bullshit that was supposed to be in that scene?

It was a little amusing when Cohen asked him if he wanted champagne, but honestly the rest of the scene was pretty lame. If this is Cohen's version of comedy, the guy has clearly lost his edge.

I see NOTHING humorous about it.
But then I have known men who were raped by other "men"and have had to fight my way out of a shower ( and disarm my attacker).
NOT funny. :(

[acptulsa]

Well, I don't think any sane person will ultimately fault Dr. Paul's use of the word '*****' in the situation.

But I wouldn't have used it. I probably wouldn't have said anything; in any case Cohen wouldn't have known if I talked or not.

I wonder if he had to pay extra for cast insurance while he was running around deliberately trying to get his jaw broken?

[zach]

That was awkward..

[Dr.3D]

Well, the guy does appear to be ***** as a football bat.

[Cowlesy]

Thanks for posting. I refuse to go to the theater and give that guy any sort of money.

I really wouldn't mind Cohen if he was just always a fruitloop, but if someone ever pulled a stunt on him while he was out of character, he'd go apesh*t.

[paulitics]

Dr Paul was angry, and rightfully so. It just wasn't funny to do this to a 74 yr old. I will not be giving this guy any money.

[GreenCardSeeker]

I'm a little inclined to think Paul realized what it was about and didn't react, but rather acted.. I mean, the normal reaction would be to become very provoked of course, and if you're not, I guess you could just walk out without saying anything. Maybe Paul wasn't provoked, but played along in a slightly humourous way when he left.

[LibertyEagle]

Cohen is a jackass. He's lucky that he didn't get his jaw broken.

[johnrocks]

He may have meant ***** as in odd but anyway,he's what 73, his generation used words that are not *PC* now, "***** Eye for the straight guy" was a hit a few years ago so if anyone dismisses Dr. Paul for not wanting to associate with that trash(not gays, Bruno) then screw em!

[LibertyEagle]

Who cares? Screw political correctness.

[Dr.3D]

Who cares? Screw political correctness.

Really! If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you call it a duck.
I don't see anything wrong with stating what appears to be a fact.

[1000-points-of-fright]

RP can redirect any criticism by saying Cohen has set back the cause of gay rights by reinforcing the stereotype that all gay men are campy over-the-top hyper-sexually aggressive flamers. I'm surprised I haven't heard any serious gay rights groups saying the same thing.

I'm not a big fan of this kind of "ambush comedy". It's just lazy writing.

[BenIsForRon]

I'm not 100% sure this movie will be good, but based on his past Bruno skits, its gonna be hilarious.

[muh_roads]

meh i'm disappointed. i think I built this up too much in my head thinking it would be so hysterical.

Paul was trying to be nice to what he thought was the gay community. Even tolerated his butt shaking for a second there...probably the funniest part...lol

Don't you see that the whole GOAL is to make not approving of just what you described a CRIME.

And if you even speak the truth like Dr. Paul just did they want to fine you and throw you in jail for "hate speech" Even though Dr. Paul said NOTHING hatefull at all. He just spoke the truth.

[Freedom 4 all]

I see NOTHING humorous about it.
But then I have known men who were raped by other "men"and have had to fight my way out of a shower ( and disarm my attacker).
NOT funny. :(

I'm curious as to the context if you don't mind my asking. Was this like in prison or something, or were there aggresive gay rapists on your high school football team?

On Topic: Dr. Paul did/said nothing wrong. Most gays I know don't even find the word "*****" offensive. I'm generally pretty pro gay rights but if it was me I'd have definitely said something more offensive and/or knocked him out if he got pushy or tried to touch me.

[Liberty Star]

Israel and Judaism

Baron Cohen first acted in theatrical productions featuring the Socialist-Zionist youth movement Habonim Dror.[51]

He spent a year in Israel at Kibbutz Rosh HaNikra and Kibbutz Beit HaEmek as part of the Shnat Habonim Dror, as well as taking part in the programme "Machon l'Madrichei Chutz L'Aretz" for Jewish youth movement leaders.

He should have tried his antics on Lindsey Graham or Matt Drudge if he was looking for real entertainment.

Yes, it was in prison.
I have also had a drink "micky'ed"at a Gay bar, (I was at a wedding reception) Good friends got me out and home.
I don't find the subject of rape amusing. Either Male or Female. It is not funny.

[Golding]

Not quite the offensive "He's a *****!" outburst people were making it out to be. Not that big a deal, and it didn't sound like anyone was gasping or anything when he said it. I'd probably react the same way.

[James Madison]

I'm not a big fan of this kind of "ambush comedy". It's just lazy writing.

I agree. You don't have to be funny to be an ambush comic, just able to stay in character while OTHER people make the jokes. Really, the people being duped in the movies should be getting paid because they're who make the movie "funny", not SBC. It's the equivalent of Family Guy, largely interchangeable jokes that typically have no relavence to the overall plotline. Lowest-common-denomenator humor here. Look away, children.

[ctiger2]

Not quite the offensive "He's a *****!" outburst people were making it out to be. Not that big a deal, and it didn't sound like anyone was gasping or anything when he said it. I'd probably react the same way.

No doubt. Ron leaves the room and says: "alright, this has ended. That guy's *****er than the blazes. He took his clothes off. Let's get going. He's ***** as crazy. He put a hit on me, he took his clothes off."

[Mandrik]

The type of anger he shows when he says "Get out of here!" is the type of anger & fire I want to see from him when he's grilling Bernanke. That would be something!

[jmdrake]

Who the hell set him up with this? I see no problem with him calling him a *****. Many gay folks use that term. I'm upset this wasn't researched by his staff better to avoid it altogether.

Or better yet have a staff person with you at all times when you do an interview. A big, mean, doesn't mind hurting someone staff person.

For the record I've seen the scene where this scum does a stunt where he puts his butt in Eminem's face. Eminem looks just as angry and uncomfortable. And I think he was told that a stunt was going to happen but was lied to about the details.

[brandon]

Kinda funny, kinda awkward. Ron needs to lighten up a little. If that happened to me I would have just laughed about it and left.

[Philmanoman]

I see NOTHING humorous about it.
But then I have known men who were raped by other "men"and have had to fight my way out of a shower ( and disarm my attacker).
NOT funny. :(

I watched this with the idea that I dont have a clue who this guy is or why hes meeting with him,like I stumbled upon a new Ron Paul interview I hadnt seen yet.
Even though I knew what was going to happen I ultimately felt fearful for Ron.I can only imagine what might of been going through his head..."Is this guy going to pull a knife on me and try to mug me or worse"...

[Nirvikalpa]

Yes, it was in prison.
I have also had a drink "micky'ed"at a Gay bar, (I was at a wedding reception) Good friends got me out and home.

I agree. I don't find this funny at all, it is sick humor.

are you....are you f'n kidding me?

[Golding]

One thing I neglected to mention...

Ron seemed pretty tolerant by anyone's standards, only getting upset when Bruno dropped his pants. Seems like a reasonable threshold to have.

[Philmanoman]

Maybe we should set up a very sly prank for brandonyates...some huge beastly manimal...muuwwahaaaa :p

[Sandman33]

are you....are you f'n kidding me?

Yeah seriously...

Im watching that and I'm seeing an honorable man of integrity that may well be the last real hope for this country sit there on that bed staring at the floor......and I'm fucking ANGRY just watching it.

Here's a man with the most important message of all. A message and an ideal that quite honestly is the last thin string left before everything collapses into global TYRANNY and jack off Zionists like Cohen are laughing like schoolgirls and playing grabass.:mad:

That man deserves respect God Damnit. The propaganda bus trying to paint him as a gay hater can roll right off a cliff for all I care.

[Liberty Star]

This may be slightly off topic but couple of conicedences seem weird.


Meghan McCain Tells Laura Ingraham: ‘Kiss My Fat A--’

Laura Ingraham had created some controversy before when allegedly she was at the center of rumors about Matt Drudge of Drudge Report dating some Israeli boy friend. Now she is creating some stir again by taking on Meghan McCain in an odd way:

Anyone knows how many different aliases Bruno Cohen uses?

Could he be the secret boyfriend of Drudge that Laura Ingraham had referred to with same last name?

[MelissaWV]

*****... It doesn't just mean "homosexual person I don't like".


1. strange or odd from a conventional viewpoint; unusually different; singular: a ***** notion of justice.
2. of a questionable nature or character; suspicious; shady: Something ***** about the language of the prospectus kept investors away.
3. not feeling physically right or well; giddy, faint, or qualmish: to feel *****.
4. mentally unbalanced or deranged.
5. Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. a. homosexual.
b. effeminate; unmanly.
6. Slang. bad, worthless, or counterfeit.

It's not even until the 5th definition we arrive at "homosexual"... and if you look at number four you will find the definition (coupled with number one) that people of Ron Paul's generation use "*****" for most regularly.

***** as blazes? Let's see... "strange or odd" as blazes? Yes. "Mentally unbalanced or deranged" as blazes? I'm sure Dr. Paul thought so at the time. "Suspicious or shady" as blazes? Definitely.

This reminds me very much of a long discussion as to whether or not a professor should be fired for describing two dark-skinned assistants as "niggardly". There was heated debate about it, and then someone finally pointed out that "niggardly" simply meant they were cheap and miserly, and it had nothing to do with being "racist". :rolleyes: I don't even know that Dr. Paul was referring to the guy's sexuality, and if someone has something from him stating he was, please direct me to it so I can dismiss my erroneous hypothesis :)

[brandon]

***** has always been an acceptable term in the gay community. When I was younger I read several William Burroughs books (Gay beat author from the 50's) and his books were littered with the term "*****"

[StayTrue]

If they woulda done this scenerio with a Bohemian Grove member, maybe they would have gotten some better footage :p

The word ***** has been re-claimed by the homosexual/bi/transgender community, so it's really not derogatory unless it is said in a derogatory manner. 'That guy is *****' is not really derogatory, it's describing someone. 'That guy is *****er than blazes' is not derogatory. In fact, in Ron Paul's case it was about the most honest thing someone could have said, and I don't expect anything less from him.

'That ***** stole my lunch' IS derogatory, it's not a description, you're labeling someone.

[orafi]

Who the hell set him up with this? I see no problem with him calling him a *****. Many gay folks use that term. I'm upset this wasn't researched by his staff better to avoid it altogether.

A simple google search could have saved him from that Authrian.

[satchelmcqueen]

this isnt funny to me at all. i felt pretty bad and angry seeing paul sit there alone with what he thought was reality. i saw a frail man in the room with a much bigger and stronger man who had just disrobed, blocking the door way. forget political views, this is awful. makes it even worse that an honorable man like paul was the one they did this to. now as stupid and sheepish as most of this country is, the media and idiot people will bash paul for what he said, even though it was the truth. our gains have just had a major setback...just wait and see. i honestly see a crime, not a movie clip.

someone needs to set cohen up and do some weird shit to him. i dont care for eminem (sp?) but when cohen had his ass and balls in his face, eminem should have punched him right in the nuts.

[dannno]

A simple google search could have saved him from that Authrian.

No, it wouldn't have saved him. Cohen did not call up and ask for an interview himself, they had somebody call up attempting to convince him to do an interview that sounded legitimate.

[0zzy]

A simple google search could have saved him from that Authrian.

stop acting like you know that it could have been avoided. again, these people are professionals. you think they just say "Hey this is Bruno from Sasha Baren Cohen's Ali G show here to punk you?" No. They make up fake media companies and ask for an interview.

that was faked.

[james1906]

We all remember what RP has said about gays in the military. He's not opposed to homosexuality, but inappropriate sexual behavior. This wasn't about homosexuality, it was about inappropriate sexual behavior. If Dina Gusovsky (that little hottie from Russia Today that's interviewed him a couple times) started to disrobe in front of RP during an interview, I'm sure he would have left the room then too.

[BenIsForRon]

Ron Paul is a big boy, he can handle it. As a matter of a fact, he handled it quite well. You guys are just making it worse by getting all bent out of shape.

I don't know why Cohen chose Ron Paul, but I imagine it's because Ron Paul isn't a hard guy to get an interview with, as Ron Paul talks to everybody. It would have been AWESOME if Cohen pulled the same stunt on Giuliani, but Giuliani only really does interviews for Fox News.

Cohen is genius, tell me this shit ain't funny:

[Liberty Star]

I don't know why Cohen chose Ron Paul, but I imagine it's because Ron Paul isn't a hard guy to get an interview with, as Ron Paul talks to everybody.


Won't be surprised if it's because RP does not support aid to Israel and other countries or foreign military interventions on their behalf.

Cohen should have had no problem getting an interview with Lindsay Graham, McCain or Lieberman. Could he be a stealth media plant of anti American lobbies with agenda to increase homosexuality awareness and ridicule political opponents at the same time?

[jbrace]

Not a big deal, I call a spade a spade, and it Cohen's position he is a *****.

2. *****: differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal b (1): eccentric, unconventional (2): mildly insane : touched c: absorbed or interested to an extreme or unreasonable degree : obsessed d (1)often disparaging : homosexual (2)sometimes offensive : gay 4b

Cohen's actions seemed to show *****ish behavior. The blazing I would have to say relates to being like a flame. Gay guys tend to wear bright colors and Cohen is known for that. So blazing ***** seems to fit him just right!

[BenIsForRon]

You obviously don't know the Cohen's history. He was member of a Zionist school in favor of peace, not a strong Israeli state.

[Liberty Star]

I don't, never haerd him ever speak against Isreali massacres or occupation policies in holy land? Have you?

[Sandman33]

[Liberty Star]

I am just surprised and bit offended what criterion did he use to setup a noble man like RP of the nearly 400+ member strong Congress?

I don't know him very well, was just asking question and speculating for the most part.

Ron Paul vs. Sacha B. Cohen
http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/029450.html


In his pan of the boring Brüno, Houston Chronicle Film Writer Mick LaSalle (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ent/movies/6522019.html) makes the point I’ve been waiting for:


In one scene, Brüno gets former presidential candidate Ron Paul, R-Lake Jackson, in a hotel room and tries to seduce him. Paul rushes out of the room horrified and, guess what, it’s not funny: A serious, accomplished man takes time out to do an interview. He’s treated appallingly, reacts with anger … and we’re supposed to think less of him? Don’t think so.

[sharpsteve2003]

Everyone needs to relax. Ron Paul wasn't a victim, if you listen to the radio interview, he doesn't seem all that bothered.

[catdd]

Ron's a gentleman from an older generation and they don't care for the kind of thing he did.

It was a stupid and disrespectful thing to do to an older guy - especially one that is in the public's eye the way Ron is.

No, he wasn't. It was a joke. Listen to clip. He was annoyed, not victimized.

Get off Ron Paul's penis, why don't ya. And your rape comment was just epic fail.

[rp08orbust]

If he had done that to a woman, would there be any doubt as to it being sexual assault? (Getting naked and standing in front of the exit.)

I think Ron Paul ought to sue.

[Met Income]

Listen, this Ron Paul worship has got to go. Paul is by far the best politician in America, but let's have some perspective.

Cohen has been gagging politicians for almost a decade now. No one said a peep. If he did it to Obama or one of his ilk, people wouldn't be trashing the guy. But he does it to Ron Paul and people start losing it. Get it together.

That's because Obama's a tool. You can't even begin to compare the two.

[Light]

I'm with Ron Paul on this one. It really says something about our culture when people by the millions go to see trash films like Bruno. Ron Paul did nothing wrong by calling Cohen a *****. The PC police need to back off. Most people would have given that punk a whooping if Cohen tried to come onto them.

I am seriously shake my head at those that find these movies funny. Our culture is in serious disrepair, and in open attack. Its no coincidence why Cohen goes after traditional thought and behavior. The best way to subjogate a society is by creating an immoral one, by mocking traditional values and people with traditional values, Cohen is conditioning the youth of this generation into thinking that traditional values are archaic and need to be disgarded. Unfortunately, few people realize that when people have little responsbility in their personal lives, it only moves for the government to usurp the right for yourself to be responsible.

I know I will be flamed for having this opinion since its an unpopular one, however, I believe what makes this movement great is the broad range of perspective we have.

Welcome. :)
I haven't seen the movie, will refuse to pay any money to see it, and liked Cohen (Ali G) in the past. That said,

This made ME uncomfortable, and had I been Ron Paul, I'm afraid I would have hit him.
Let me ask the women this, if a STRAIGHT man was hittin' ya up, took off his pants, and you had NO INTEREST in him whatsoever, what would YOU do? What would YOU say?

This shit is so freaking backwards.
Fuck Cohen. It's not funny anymore.

[Golding]

Cohen is genius, tell me this shit ain't funnyI can tell you honestly, without the motivation of just defying your dare, that it wasn't funny. I didn't laugh or crack a smile through the whole thing. I watched Borat online maybe a year after it came out, and again -- I didn't laugh or crack a smile during the whole thing.

I don't mean to knock your taste in comedy or anything, but how anyone considers Cohen a genius is really beyond me. Whenever I hear people try to do a Borat accent, I'm reminded of the kind of people who went around going "I'm Rick James, bitch" for years. More annoying than entertaining.

It's not that I dislike the kind of comedy that comes from keeping real people guessing. Andy Kaufman was a genius. I just think Cohen does a terrible job at the "performance art"...

The movie is nothing like the Jackass films. Those films are those people hurting and destroying themselves. This film is about setting up unsuspecting others and preying on them. What made the film offensive was not that though, it was the fighting with dildos,dildos attached to machines,live swinger sex scenes, meatspin scenes, simulated graphic oral sex with ghosts scenes, and the list goes on and on. And don't think the people selected as targets were just randomly chosen either, this is a movie with a lot of covert propaganda disguised as funny jokes.

Won't be surprised if it's because RP does not support aid to Israel and other countries or foreign military interventions on their behalf.

Cohen should have had no problem getting an interview with Lindsay Graham, McCain or Lieberman. Could he be a stealth media plant of anti American lobbies with agenda to increase homosexuality awareness and ridicule political opponents at the same time?

There were also multiple Hitler jokes, called Mel Gibson the Fuhrer, talk of staging babies in holocaust reenactment photos, a visit to meet some Muslim "terrorists" and he asks them to kidnap him and also refers to OBL as their King.

I disagree. I found it quite boring at times. Im a Borat fan so i had high expectations, but this was ridiclious. He tries to get laughs by having penis's flapping around and homosex. Sure, it had a lot of funny parts, and i laughed a lot. But i was expecting something better, idk.

Btw the Paul scene really didnt portray Paul in a bad way. It's basic human reaction to get out of a situation one is uncomfortable in. Now what happened to Paula Abdul.. now thats bad.

the reason Cohen chose RP was because of a deep seated hatred towards the man, his ideals, like ending the fed, and pulling the rug out from under Israel... if you end the fed you end a lot of illegitimate funding, including the wars.

I thought it was mildly humorous. Cohen is a funny guy and capable of being funny in improv situations, but it sounds like he's running out of ideas. I can already tell that Borat is much more likeable than this oversexed pseudo-flamer.

I don't see any reason why this will hurt Dr. Paul. If anything, it will make him more recognizable. Maybe young people will be interested to see what is non-conventional about his message.

I find it pretty funny, but then again Cohen's sense of humor is the same as mine: messing with people. For me, the funniest shows and movies are the ones that involve messing with people: Tom Green, Ali G, Bruno, Borat, etc....

I think he chose Ron Paul because he knows how Ron's supporters are, just look at the replies to this thread, people are absolutely flipping out, but if he had chosen McCain or somebody else everybody would be on the opposite end and would think it's the funniest thing they've ever seen. He chose a politician whose supporters will create a ruckus and possibly generate more publicity for him by "boycotting" or "protesting" the film. Plus, he's always targeted the easiest politicians to get on his shows or movies, the ones who aren't going to know it's a possible joke, he's targeted Pat Buchanan, Bob Barr, Newt Gingrich, politicians from other countries such as from Ireland, the list goes on.

Everybody needs to stop being so bent over this scene.

It was a male prostitute named Steve Gobie.

Frank paid him for sex and then moved him into his DC apartment, where Gobie set up a prostitution ring.

Frank also used "congressional privilege" to "fix" a bunch of parking tickets for him and tried to use that same pressure to "fix" past drug charges.

This was back in 1989.

Artistically, there is no irony in this scene..

It seems to me that if Sasha had done his movie right, he would have taken the time and energy, and had the ambition, to set up some closet case, anti-gay politician. Like so many of the Republicans with anti-gay platforms who ultimately have been outed as gay themselves. In other words, why not pick on a hypocrite politician, rather than Ron Paul, who has said that all humans have the same rights regardless of their sexual orientation?

I wish Ron Paul would use this as a platform to repeat his position.

By the way, it would have been equally inappropriate if he was playing a straight guy (Ali G., for example) and he was hitting on, say, Barbara Lee or Dianne Feinstein in that bedroom. Straight or gay, it's just someone dealing with an inappropriate sexual advance.

RP should take the approach that this scene demeans gay people and stereotypes them

My girlfriend said that the irony in the scene, and the reason that Ron Paul was the target, was that Bruno thought he was going to be interviewing Rue Paul. I dunno.

[Liberty Star]

Some troubling questions remain unanswered.

Why didn't he setup any of the many Dem/GOP neocon , war monger politicians or any of the pimps for Israel lobby in Congress? Why did he setup one of the very few critics of US mideast policy?

There is no reported evidence that Bruno Cohen, Ron Mayers of Universal Studio et al are executing Israeli lobby's agenda by distracting US masses with homosexuality issue debates when US is facing serious economy/mideast wars issues but these questions need to be answer by Universal and Bruno Cohen's handlers. Bruno need to come clean what "youth leadership" training did he receive in Israel.

[Badger Paul]

Everyone, I doubt if by the end of the year we will still be talking about this whole brouhaha.

Judging by the reviews (and not I will not give Cohen a dime of my money), Bruno is not Borat. Not by a long shot. Borat may have been obnoxious but there was an earnestness about him that made him endearing and funny at the same time while pointing a mirror at ourselves.

Bruno is just a sexual predator, period. If he did same thing to Dr. Paul as a female politician he'd be in jail. How can he point a mirror at societies' "homophobia" when he stereotypes every outlandish homosexual behavior possible? Naked guys just don't crawl into people's tent when they're camping. Not even in Europe.

I wouldn't worry about any fallout to Dr. Paul. None of the reviewers or anyone else in the media is calling him a "homophobe" because they know he is not one to begin with and they also know he was put into a very disturbing situation. I don't know how many reviews I've read where the reviewer said they had to watch the film with their hands over their eyes. That's not good for repeat business. Some may go to watch to see what the fuss is about but can you imagine anyone going back? I didn't think so either.

This film will be in and out of the theaters by August and quickly forgotten about and perhaps Cohen can think up some original material for once.

Oh by the way, why was Dr. Paul chose for Bruno's little sex tape? Well according to the Economist blog (http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2009/03/sacha_baron_cohen_doesnt_care.cfm)it may something to do with the fact when Borat interviewed Bob Barr back in 2006, Jesse Benton helped to set up the interview. Maybe they know a target when they see one.

March 26, 2009

ALIPAC is issuing a national advisory to all local, state, and Federal law enforcement agencies and officers, along with all DHS Fusion Centers, a warning against any reliance upon faulty and politicized research issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Anti Defamation League (ADL).

Police were instructed to look for Americans who were concerned about unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security, abortion, high costs of living, gun restrictions, FEMA, the IRS, The Federal Reserve, and the North American Union/SPP/North American Community. The 'Missouri Documents' also said potential domestic terrorists might like gun shows, short wave radios, combat movies, movies with white male heroes, Tom Clancey Novels, and Presidential Candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin!

So ADL was involved in defining these "characteristics"?

That is interesting connection. This was posted yesterday in another discussion about Barr and RP supporters. Is ADL writing scripts for Bruno Cohen/Universal studio movies?
If this is the trend, we should expect to see Chuck Baldwin setup in next Bruno movie.

Sorry Pelosi, McCain, Lieberman, your names are not on the list.



If he did same thing to Dr. Paul as a female politician he'd be in jail.

There are law suits against him or Universal currently if I'm not mistaken, he could still end up in prison or paying back lot of money. He had allegedly caused serious injury to a frail woman and sent her to wheel chair for life from what I had heard.

Here is one report on that lawsuit:


Sacha Baron Cohen Sued Over Bingo Melee

Jun 3rd 2009

It's all fun and games until someone gets confined to a wheelchair -- which is exactly what one woman is claiming after she was allegedly attacked and left "crippled" by Sacha Baron Cohen (as Bruno) at a Bingo hall in 2007.

Richelle Olson has sued Cohen, NBC Universal and others claiming they told her Bruno was a celeb and would appear and call numbers at the charity bingo game she ran for the elderly in Palmdale, CA. Olson was none too happy when she saw Bruno, whom she describes as an "extreme, outrageous, offensive caricature of a gay man dressed in sexually revealing clothing with an Austrian accent..."

Olson alleges Bruno used "vulgar and offensive language" and when she tried taking the mic from him, a "physical struggle ensued" and Cohen "offensively touched, pushed and battered" her, causing her to fall to the ground.

She then claims three cameramen and others rushed the stage ... "where defendants attacked [her] for a period of one to five minutes to intentionally create a dramatic emotional response ... while [they] recorded her humiliation and embarrassment."

After the alleged assault was over, the suit says Olson went into another room where she was "sobbing uncontrollably" ... then was rendered unconscious ... "falling forward onto the thinly covered concrete slab, passing out and causing her to hit her head."

The suit says Olson was rushed to the hospital with a "diagnosis of two brain bleeds" -- and that she has been confined to a wheelchair and walker ever since.

Just in reading other sites, I found out that it was the Congressional office that reportedly set-up the interview. If this is true my apologies to Jesse. Either way it doesn't matter because Team Cohen reportedly set up 31 dummy media companies to fool or trick people to be a part of the movie. That's the lengths they're prepared to go for their comedy.

[BenIsForRon]

ITS THE JEWS!!!! OMG THE JEWS DID IT!!!!

Guys, he also pulled a stunt on a Mossad agent in this movie. Stop making ignorant claims.

[0zzy]

I wouldn't worry about any fallout to Dr. Paul. None of the reviewers or anyone else in the media is calling him a "homophobe" because they know he is not one to begin with and they also know he was put into a very disturbing situation. I don't know how many reviews I've read where the reviewer said they had to watch the film with their hands over their eyes. That's not good for repeat business. Some may go to watch to see what the fuss is about but can you imagine anyone going back? I didn't think so either.

They have been calling him a homophobe. At least a few reviews have. Roger Ebert dedicated a whole paragraph to Paul. One said Paul said they felt sorry for him, but that Paul didn't have to go so far as calling him a "*****." It's more disgusting than what Cohen did.

[James Madison]

Here is one report on that lawsuit:

I wouldn't be so sure this will go through; every lawsuit from the movie Borat was thrown out. You also forget that SBC is a celebrity and possesses a separate set of legal standards than regular citizens.

Haha. I don't think RP is going to do anymore movies or interview with foreign people. Didn't he learn from Borat?

W....wha? Learn what from Borat, all foreigners requesting an interview is actually Sasha Baren Cohen trying to punk you?

[dantheman]

I don't know...this is just really funny. The fact that Ron Paul is that uncomfortable is hilarious. Most of us aren't used to seeing our hero so vulnerable. But oh well. I doubt this will do anything to his credibility. Remember, kids, Michael Jackson's dead. Nothing else matters right now...

[constitutional]

It just annoys me that now when I talk to the average joe about Ron Paul they're gonna say, "Oh, you mean that homophobe from Bruno?"

No one's going to say that? You wanted RP to make out with Bruno or what?

Your posts are often *****.

I've seen way more vulnerability when he was in the debates and ask him stupid ask questions or worse, ignore him. I can give Cohen a pass for being an entertainer/prankster, the media is much worse. They pretend to bring unbiased news and debates etc etc. etc., but we all know that's no the case.

[haaaylee]

They've always said that... minus the Bruno part.

[foofighter20x]

lololol, Ron Paul looked absolutely terrified.

You probably would have too. :rolleyes:

[foofighter20x]

Or better yet have a staff person with you at all times when you do an interview. A big, mean, doesn't mind hurting someone staff person.

For the record I've seen the scene where this scum does a stunt where he puts his butt in Eminem's face. Eminem looks just as angry and uncomfortable. And I think he was told that a stunt was going to happen but was lied to about the details.

You know, I suggested this to one of Dr. Paul's staffers, and they got all angry like I was telling them how to do their job. :rolleyes:

[Kludge]

You probably would have too. :rolleyes:

Maybe, were I a God-fearing man.

[dr. hfn]

why couldn't we get on tv like this during the election?!

[constitutional]

One reason RP might have been picked is because of his popularity and his persistent supporters. They probably wanted to create outrage among Ron Paul supporters (we are loud and persistent after all) to get more exposure. That scene with Ron Paul was weak, yet they decided to include it. They were desperately hoping for outrage.

I believe ***** was a right word of choice. If an old woman tried to haggle me like that in a room, I'd poke both my eyes out and run out saying "she tried to hit on me, what a slut! Oh god, the horror! the horror! Have mercy. Be gone whore! be gone!". Well not really, but I would definitely call her a slut as someone would call a gay man *****.

This is the only conspiracy theory I see as plausible. They've seen how we reacted to debates and media coverage during the campaign.

[tmosley]

I had expected him to pretend to have him confused with Ru Paul http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ru_Paul

I can't believe they passed up that opportunity. It would have been much funnier, and wouldn't have been as close to sexual assault. Instead, it was nothing but an awkward two minutes that seemed to stretch out forever.

[revolutionary8]

ROFL! Post of the day!

[itshappening]

the debate on why he was singled out is interesting... I believe it was a ploy to 'send him up' and basically ridicule him.

Also notice they refered to him as 'presidential candidate', so he was probably the only one with a high enough profile they could actually get... the alternative is someone like Hunter

[Liberty Star]

Which dumb TV talking head decided that any offensive language was used?

Did anyone ask Bruno Cohen if he found any term offensive? Since he has had some training in Israel or is partially Israeli, could he have seen it as a compliment considering the popularity of the discussed term among homsexual community in holy land that it seem to wear it as badge of honor?

Yep, it would have been A LOT funnier had he pulled this stunt with Bernie Sanders. It was absolutely no "coincidence", and it sure as hell wasn't "random", contrary to what Bennis keeps claiming (from what I have gathered so far, pls. correct me if I am wrong Bennis)

[brandon]

Just saw the movie tonight.

The theater was packed. People were laughing throughout most of the movie, but no one laughed at the Ron Paul scene. It was just too awkward, and not funny at all.

Overall I thought most of the movie was really funny. Some parts took it too far though and just made me uncomfortable.

My thoughts exactly, and they kinda got what they wanted, well, at least on these forums there is some outrage, kind of.

If so, why did he "randomly select" Bobb Barr for his last movie? Just a coincidence?

It's Ben is for Ron. (Mods: is there a way I can change my name so its not confusing?)

And I'm not saying it was random. Ron Paul was chosen because he could be confused with "Ru Paul" by Bruno, and probably because he was an easy target. His large web following may have something to do with it too. What I am saying is it was not a Zionist plot to discredit Dr. Paul, which is so ridiculous I shouldn't even acknowledge it.

Sacha Cohen is a good guy, he may have used bad taste in this instance, but overall, he really is a genius actor/satirist.

As I see it, right now, you are making stuff up about RP supporters in order to "discredit" RP supporters.

Look through this thread dude. Many people bring up his membership in a Zionist youth group, as if that had anything to do with his selection of Ron Paul for a scene in his movie 20 years later.

Danke, open your mind man. He was in a youth group primarily focused on building character and all that stuff. Just like most other youth groups, whether they be Christian, Muslim, or secular. Nothing to do with AIPAC and all that shit.

Chill out.

[2young2vote]

I thought it was funny. I had a big smile on throughout the whole scene :) .

[TortoiseDream]

I actually think Ron's reaction was nothing like that of a homophobe. He stuck it out there for a good couple minutes in the room while being essentially hit on and put in an awkward situation. Although he was most definitely uncomfortable, yet he was polite and quite. It was not until Bruno started to undress that he reacted, and he probably would have reacted in a similar way if it were a woman. The only thing that this scene asserts is that an old man will be upset if someone, guy or gal, takes his or her pants off during a technical malfunction in an interview - nothing to do with gays.

The rest of the movie was average, sometimes funny, mostly just his balls in your face.

[BenIsForRon]

NP with Jews, but Zionists.

Chill out.

I don't like the word Zionist either, but not every organization with the word Zionist attached to it has the same intentions as AIPAC. Cohen's group was basically the equivalent to a mission group working on a kibbutz in Israel. You can look up the group yourself. I think his kibbutz was on the border with Lebanon, and had a history of cultural exchange with the Lebanese people across the border.

I looked all this up the other day, out of curiosity and so I could back myself up and maybe snap some of the conspiracy nuts out of their stupor.

[zade]

I thought it was funny, but I must admit I am a little disappointed in Ron here. Even if "*****" isn't deragatory, the fact that as he's kicking Bruno out, his reason is "that guy is *****" makes it seem like Ron doesn't want "*****s" in his office.

You think he wouldve said "get that woman out of here, she's straight as blazes!" ?

It's pretty obvious now... to me anyway..

[BenIsForRon]

Because Bruno is Austrian, and Cohen likes doing humor related to Jews.

Nothing, not every joke in the movie has to be about Bruno's homosexulality or gay culture.

Because it's funny, and Mel Gibson has said some crazy stuff about Jews, including calling the cop who arrested him for drunk driving a Jew.


Do you really think this was some kind of political hit-job by the Zionists? If so, you might need to take a break from the conspiracy websites and get some fresh air.

You are either messing with me or you are incredibly dumb. Cohen is a Jew. He likes making fun of anti-semetic people, which is more funny to him because he is, in fact, a Jew. Just like when black people make fun of the KKK.

Wow... I can't believe I just had to type that.

Y'all realize of course we're the ones outraged, right? No one on the media is talking about this. We're the only ones that have our panties in a wad over this.

You must be talking about the forums. Personally, I'm very aware of where 1207 is, and its going to take a while to get to the next step in the senate, so I can talk about something else for a second.
