Ron Paul: "I am going on TV twice tonight to respond to Lindsey Graham's attack"

[RonPaulFanInGA]

http://www.facebook.com/ronpaul


I am going to be on TV twice tonight to respond to Lindsey Graham's attack Monday that I am trying to"hijack" the Republican Party, and that our movement is a bunch of "angry white men." Please tune in to CNN at 6:00 pm ET an...d MSNBC at 6:30 pm ET and help me defend our Constitutional principles from the Neo-Conservatives!

[LibertyMage]

Fight the good fight!

[Austin]

Glad that his camp is starting to utilize Facebook, although I'd like to see a daily update or something similar.

[ClayTrainor]

Ron Paul can assume leadership of the Republican party, if he plays his cards right on this issue, imo. They are literally starting to question whether or not Ron Paul is a leader of the party now...

[pacelli]

Strange how the people that hijacked the republican party are calling a true conservative like Ron Paul a hijacker.

[kahless]

It is time for Ron Paul to be recognized as the true leader of the Republican Party.

The Republican outrage videos against Graham in South Carolina need need to go viral so the media finally starts covering the reality that he really has no support.

[Original_Intent]

Let's get it on!

[pcosmar]

Warm up the recorders. I don't have TV, and would love to see the Tube. :)

[Krugerrand]

Stick it to him, Ron! er ... perhaps that was a bad choice of words in this case.

[bobbyw24]

The truth is appealing

[angelatc]

They don't have a "share" link on that announcement.

[angelatc]

Do either of those channels stream live?

[Bruno]

can't wait for the toobs!!! :)

[Romulus]

Strange how the people that hijacked the republican party are calling a true conservative like Ron Paul a hijacker.

because the repubs arent conservative - theyre neocons! go Ron go!

[emazur]

This should be Ron Paul's response:

"I'm not going to let the Lindsey Grahams and John McCains continue to hijack the ideals of the Republican Party"

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Glad to see he's going to address Lindsey after the months he's been talking trash.

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Also, Graham's comments should just further galvanize us to get our liberty candidates elected. If he doesn't like Ron Paul he'd absolutely hate having to share the same chamber with Rand Paul and Peter Schiff.

[BlackTerrel]

Someone make sure to YouTube this!

[FSP-Rebel]

Too bad that Glenn Beck isn't giving Dr. Paul an outlet to speak to the Tea Partiers about this issue...

[ClayTrainor]

Too bad that Glenn Beck isn't giving Dr. Paul an outlet to speak to the Tea Partiers about this issue...

That's a very good observation... Perhaps we should email him, and request it?

[Flash]

Oh great, he's going to be on Ed schultz's show. I wonder how he'll be treated this time.

[ClayTrainor]

Oh great, he's going to be on Ed schultz's show. I wonder how he'll be treated this time.

hopefully really poorly, so we can see Ron make him look like a joke, just like last time. :D

YouTube - Ed Shultz vs. Ron Paul 5-20-09 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfuvndfA1jw)

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Ed will probably play nice since Ron will be addressing another Republican.

[Arklatex]

It's funny how the shows that treat him the worst initially (glenn beck) he ends up appearing on the most getting his message out. Their attacks backfire, as it looks like Graham's is going to. It's flattering.

[Fr3shjive]

Too bad that Glenn Beck isn't giving Dr. Paul an outlet to speak to the Tea Partiers about this issue...

We should email Glen Beck to get him to bring Ron Paul on the show to discuss this.

[Feenix566]

Ron Paul is already the leader of the Republican party. The media just hasn't realized it yet.

The party can't win elections by relying on the angry white men who elect posers like Bush, Graham, and McCain. Those voters are getting older and dying. The future of the Republican part lies in the youth of this country, and I've never even heard of a person under the age of 50 who likes Bush, Graham, or McCain.

[justinc.1089]

We should email Glen Beck to get him to bring Ron Paul on the show to discuss this.

Yes we should! Lets get on it. Where can you email Beck at?

Glenn is not interested in helping anyone discover Ron Paul or his ideals. It is apparent in his face every time someone mentions Dr. Paul or the CFL... He looks as if a leper is running at him with a paint scraper and a bowl of shit.

Best thing you can do is catch people that love Glenn Beck and show them what could of been if they had been more active... I suggest that campaign material with Dr. Paul on the old tractor... It brought me here.

Glenn is not working for us, trust me, he's working for someone who will take our current problems and make them worse just like the guy he opposes now... all the time using the power he gained from the previous admin to further the agenda.

Gotta work on the people that Glenn is moving in your general direction... Use his rhetoric to advance our agenda which is Freedom, sound money and following the Constitution.
You can't waken Glenn the shill.

[specsaregood]

Ed will probably play nice since Ron will be addressing another Republican.

Except if any Republican is Ed's type, it is of the Graham persuasion.

[A. Havnes]

Except if any Republican is Ed's type, it is of the Graham persuasion.

Would a Democrat admit that he has anything in common with a Republican? Or vice versa for that matter?

Oh, and shouldn't this be in "grassroots"?

[specsaregood]

Would a Democrat admit that he has anything in common with a Republican? Or vice versa for that matter?

Oh, and shouldn't this be in "grassroots"?

Well seeing as Sen. Graham thinks the Republicans should move further left, yes they might agree and admit to it.

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Except if any Republican is Ed's type, it is of the Graham persuasion.

Good point.

[Reloaderx3]

In ron we trust!

[johnrocks]

I can't wait!

Ron needs to take ownership of the party tonight. To point out that its not by his will, but by the will of our grassroots.

[Immortal Technique]

give him hell Doc

[Chieftain1776]

Graham called himself a Strom Thurmond Republican. How is that not feeding into the "Angry White Man" persona? I wonder how the rest of the "moderates" in the beltway feel about him calling himself a Strom Thurmond Republican???

The reality is that this is all about Graham posing as a "moderate" to bash small government people and then kissing crazies like Hagee and Robertson's ring because they share the extremist neocon foreign policy. Seriously, how do these neocons get to pose as moderates when they suck-up to the crazy, anti-Semitic, Apocalyptic televangelists??? Oh and they're pretty damn white!!!

It's all about marginalization and framing the narrative. Graham, Frum, and the neocons need to be called out for their relationship to those crazies that are literally lobbying for Armageddon (http://www.alternet.org/story/39748/). Instead of putting real grassroots activists on the defensive the neocons that ruined the GOP and the country need to be exposed.

Seriously even a nut like Alex Jones should be less embarrassing then "Pastor" John Hagee and Pat Robertson. Yet every GOP candidate has to not only recognize Hagee & Co but campaign for their endorsement. Such a ridiculous double standard!

My god that woman is a fucktard. Way to throw out a loaded question. "The Government has to spend". NO IT DOESN'T. Look around, how's that working out? Ask China, Look at unemployment, debt interests, dollar strength, etc. IDIOT.

[Revolution0918]

i wish when that R dude asked his question Ron would have gone back to his original stance and stated how its not about party politics but rather the people of the country...and thats what the constitution does, it brings us together, it doesnt seperate us into parties...other then that it was great.....now we have to watch the ed show? fuck i hate this guy

[eok321]

Ed show up next......

[boethius27]

This feels like primaries 08 times. Everybody gathered around computers waiting for youtubes of Ron Paul making commentators look like knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, orangutangs.

[KramerDSP]

Ron Paul 2012. That's it. Anyone watching had to be thinking "THIS is the guy everyone calls a lunatic?". He hit grand slams for every question thrown his way. All three of the CNN commentators had the sour patch going after he dismantled their loaded questions and threw it back at them. Huffington asked "is the left vs. right a false choice?" and Ron expanded on that and just owned.

I am guilty of hyperbole at times, but this is the single best Ron Paul interview I have ever seen. And I sub his videos as a hobby.

Ron Paul 2012

[mrMISDEMEANOR]

Ron Paul nailed it on CNN. He tried to pack as much of his message as he could and did a wonderful job.

[Mandrik]

OMG did anyone switch over to The Ed Show? He's going off about someone who posted one of those "Angry Hitler" videos where people put in whatever subtitles they want. Dbag doesn't understand internet meme's, haha!

ed's a giant douche. i saw that too....

[Chieftain1776]

Email I sent to Situation Room:


First, thanks for having Dr. Paul on to respond to Senator Graham's silly caricature. What you should ask is Why does Sen. Graham feel it necessary to attack Ron Paul who opposes him ideologically as "extremist" yet he has never raised a word about crazy anti-Semitic, Apocalyptic preachers like John Hagee and Pat Robertson? Why does he attack Ron Paul not those extremists who literally blamed gays and the ACLU for 9/11?

I believe it's because Graham shares their dangerous views on foreign policy and is only selectively marginalizing the small government people that challenge Graham and his fellow neoconservatives. It's not about "image" but marginalizing ideological opponents.

Oh and when the GOP says "NO" to government it does it to say "YES!" to more private capital and savings to start businesses, invest in their education and career, and channeling their funds efficiently and morally in a free market.

[torchbearer]

OMG did anyone switch over to The Ed Show? He's going off about someone who posted one of those "Angry Hitler" videos where people put in whatever subtitles they want. Dbag doesn't understand internet meme's, haha!

It was a video created by a guy that works for Primerica.

This is Ron Paul's third time on the Ed Show.

Why the hell does he keep going back? Ed is an idiot, and trashes our beliefs every chance he gets. Ed actually brought Ron Paul on once, just to mock him, after listing something Ron Paul said as "Psycho Talk".

It was also the Ed Show where that socialist basically just yelled at Peter Schiff for an entire "interview".

I think this is a bad move. It will always be a bad move.

Ron goes where he's invited, always has...

He's not afraid of a little competition, and Ed has never been able to even deliver a solid point against Paul in debate.

I'm sure a few people wake up every time Ron Paul is on TV.

But hyperbole aside for a moment, when I was talking with him at breakfast in Minneapolis I told him that he had changed the world and he simply said that it needed changing.

[Matt Collins]

The Republican outrage videos against Graham in South Carolina need need to go viral Where are they?:confused:

[Oyate]

I'm with Torch. Those people shouting bought us some major airtime. And Dr. Paul hit some major homers. The speed we're picking up is incredible.

[qh4dotcom]

I'll say this again since it needs to be said...and unlike many others in this forums I did my part to defeat Graham so don't blame me...
and I sure hope this doesn't happen again to another liberty candidate who has a shot to win.

Ron Paul and his supporters are to blame that Graham is in the Senate right now. Very few Ron Paul supporters (myself included) sent donations to his pro-Ron-Paul opponent Bob Conley in last year's elections...Graham received millions in campaign contributions while Conley was almost broke...even with the lack of donations Conley managed to get 42% of the vote.

Bob Conley should have received an endorsement from RP and there should have been a money bomb for him. With an endorsement from RP and hundreds of thousands in donations like BJ Lawson received Conley could have beat Graham....now we are stuck for the next 6 years hearing Graham's trash talk.

It's obvious that Graham now has a grudge against Ron Paul supporters because he sure hasn't forgotten that it was a Ron Paul supporter who had the nerve and dared to take away his precious Senate seat last year.

I agree for the most part. I had no idea about Bob Conley until today, however, as I decided to look up when Graham was up for reelection and saw that he had just defeated a Ron Paul Democrat. Though I believe Ron Paul doesn't endorse candidates running against Republican incumbents, and that's the case with this one, we certainly could have done a lot more for Conley I'm sure.

Thanks! Ron Paul did endorse a third party candidate Chuck Baldwin last year...obviously Chuck Baldwin was running against the Republican nominee McCain...so it's not like Ron Paul doesn't endorse candidates running against Republican incumbents.

And I guess the reason you didn't hear about Bob Conley until today....was probably no RP endorsement, no money bomb, very few Ron Paul supporters talking about him last year, etc

There were plenty of Conley threads here during the campaign and lots of us donated to his campaign. I know I did. In fact, I think Mr. Conley actually posted in a few threads here. If there is anybody to blame for Graham, it is the Democrat party; because they clearly preferred him over their own party's nominee.

Very few of us did....he only had a few thousand dollars in his campaign coffers compared to the millions Graham had.

Conley was too conservative to be a Democrat...that's why they didn't support him...so it should have been us who supported him more than Democrats.

Let's wait twenty years. They only put dead presidents on our money.:D

If (non-Presidents) Franklin and Hamilton can be on our currency, so can Ron Paul. Let's start a Paul/$.50 coin movement!

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Thanks! Ron Paul did endorse a third party candidate Chuck Baldwin last year...obviously Chuck Baldwin was running against the Republican nominee McCain...so it's not like Ron Paul doesn't endorse candidates running against Republican incumbents.

And I guess the reason you didn't hear about Bob Conley until today....was probably no RP endorsement, no money bomb, very few Ron Paul supporters talking about him last year, etc

John McCain was not the incumbent in that election, however.

Ron Paul was perfect! He continues to get better with these interviews. He ripped apart Candy Crowley (?) with ease and was still a total gentleman about it. I also loved how Paul focused on all the liberal issues when he brought up Bush. Iraq, Patriot Act, etc. ED had nothing to counter. Schultz surely showed his partisanship there. He had to be reassured that Democrats were supporting the Fed bill. HAHA!

I'd like to also mention that Faux was the only one that didn't bring on Paul, at least not today. It is maybe because Faux is so clearly in bed with the liberal GOP agenda? This was only a hit job by CNN and MSNBC to further shred the Republicans. Not a bad thing if they weren't simultaneously pushing socialist propaganda.

Side note: I didn't expect the accent from Ariana. Didn't know she was a foreigner. Never cared, but good to know.

At first I thought the second part (Wolfman Blitzer) was the best, but then I watched this again:


YouTube - Ron Paul on CNN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dauk46aAIgA)



Ron Paul asked the real questions. lol The Journoplasm got RULED.
That's how it should be every single time.

Best interview ever.

The worst part of this is that they cut him off and "went to break" just when he was getting to the "heart of the matter"
grrrrrrrr. anyhaw- he rocked.
Ron Paul FTW

[revolutionary8]

I especially like this part:

"I look at intervention as a general principle- whether it's over seas, or in our own personal lives, or in the economy...
But the thing that should bring us together is our Constitution."


I apologize if this has been posted before, but it really needs to be said again and again- outloud- if for no other reason than I need to hear it for myself.

Why doesn't the GOP just hire the Japanese to make them a "Diverse" Ken Doll they can prop up to ask/answer completely irrelevant, misguided, boodie trapped questions when it is necessary?
They'd be spending their money more wisely than on this modern day "GQ Global Greaser" branded "Kevin Madden".

Did you watch the interview? Hardly a bad move.

Ron Paul is always a class act.

But I'm not backing down. The Ed Show is poison. Ed is poison. Ed is an asshole.

I am saying, I will not back down on this, Ron Paul is too good for The Ed Show. In the end, in the grand scheme, in the narrow view, Ron Paul does not need to bend over for his enemies. Ed is an enemy.

Sure, Ron will shine, no matter where he is interviewed, but that doesn't mean he should be on beck and call for his enemies.

Some shows have shown respect, like Rachel Maddow, and The Daily Show, and Keith Olbermann. The Ed Show has never shown respect.

You go ahead and defend the jerk.

Ron Paul deserves better.

I call it Capitalism. Sure, filet mignon tastes great, it doesn't mean it should be sold at McDonald's.

And really, that is a lesson that ALL activists can learn when dealing with any kind of media interview. If you think it is a bullshit question, then just respond by telling them how the question should be asked, and then answer it.

News Thread of the month :D - I loved seeing RP refuse to be cut off and finish his point with Ed about the bi-partisan sponsorship of 1207/604

Amazing...

Thanks for the vids Penn, you made a lot of people very happy

GO. RON. PAUL!

I have a question - can somebody please listen to the Blitzer video ? Right about the 1:30 mark, Ron Paul is calling Graham out for his support of Democratic programs and expenditures. He says,
"Well, my first reaction would be what does he have against the constitution and the supporters I have support me because I'm a traditional conservative and I defend the constitution. And I place every vote I can depending on the constitution.

Somebody should ask him what does he have against that and why does he vote for TARP funds and the bailout funds and ---(Need Help Here)--------and all the big government things?

Can anybody make out what he says? It's sounds like the Kerry trag tax, but that doesn't make sense...and Ron Paul always makes sense. :)

Candy presents this problem that we are "in two wars and the economy is a mess and shouldn't the govt be spending and trying to do something about it".

That's the trick the Bush administration used to win a second term. It's exactly that kind of meddling and interventionism that has us in these wars and poor economy. Expecting to get out of it by the same methods or trying to justify more of the same is just "throwing gasoline on the fire" or trying to "wash off blood with more blood..." But RP countered it nicely.

One can only hope that people wake up and started looking through that hoax.

Sorry, tried my best and listened several times, but I can't make it out either. For others who might wish to try, you might not want to skip right to 1:30 though, because I'm getting it starting right around the one minute mark.

Angela,

Off the top of my head, I remember from the closed captioning that it may have been Cap and Trade that RP was referring to. Would that make sense ?
