Either the MSM is waiting till tomorrow to talk about Paul or they are just outright ignoring him. I bet money Rudy announces tomorrow how much he's got an that will very well be head lines all day tomorrow.

I really hope someone is making a documentary or something about how the media is deciding elections in America.

Its becuase her cabinet (regime if you will) is hand selected by the CFR and setting up their thinktanks. The establishment isn't going to wait until after election to get the machine going. The patriot act 3 must be signed sealed and delivered in a matter of days once we are attacked again. Giuliani has his cabinet picked out too, many of the same neocons will switch teams on either side. You know the game.

Tucker discussed him with his idiot guests.
The woman on the left made some comment about Ron Paul supporters having a lot of time on their hands because they live in their parents' basement. Tucker did a half-ass job defending Paul.

These MSM clowns are going to pay for this crap some day. But hey, I'm thankful they brought him up.

They did talk about him. Whoever the women was she said Paul had strong support from a very diverse group, some of them living in their basements. It was like she just had to get that dig in. Beech. Overall it was just okay.

Wow, I'm disappointed in Tucker!! Not only was it hardly any time given to RP, but the crap they were saying! They should really check out an RP rally and see exactly what kind of people are supporting Paul. We're definitely not all three-eyed, overweight, basement dwelling, parent mooching losers!

As for seeing in RP whatever one issue we're jazzed about, he's right. We, along with Paul, are largely one issue political creatures: our one issue is strict Constitutionalism!

I turned it on after the ABC spot, looks like Tucker talked to two analysts, a young guy who stated that Ron Paul had 'found his audience', suggesting that there are enough people out there with small issues (anti-board of ed, gold standarders, truthers -*NOT mentioned on the show*-) that they had combined to produce a sizable chunk of money.

The other analyst dismissed us as kids in our mom's basements with too much time on our hands. Oh well, guess its hard to convince some people that this is for real.

Tucker mentioned yet again that he voted for Paul in 88, and suggested that he supported Paul again this time around.

What was Tucker's problem? He said that a lot of Dr. Paul's supporters don't know what his views are outside of anti Iraq war. You should be saying that about the top tier candidate's supporters Tucker!

Tucker didn't have a problem, as a regular viewer I can attest that he behaved like himself during that interview, skeptical, cynical, and always playing a little devil's advocate.

He simply proposed the open ended question of: "Do Ron Paul's supporters *really* know his entire platform?" I would suspect the answer is yes, although I can understand why it would be hard to believe that a guy who wants to leave the UN and abolish the Board of Ed would raise 5 million :D

Tucker made Paul sound like an extremist that most people would not like if they actually knew about his views. Tucker is suddenly becoming anti-Paul. This is not all that surprising considering he works for NBC, which is owned by GE, which makes a TON of military equipment and DOES NOT WANT THE WAR TO END.

Why did Tucker agree with them saying that he was getting support from Fair Tax? No, he's not. They're supporting Huckaboo.

And I sure didn't like him repeating over and over that he was a FORMER supporter. That sure came off like he wasn't supporting him now.

He didn't do us any favors on this piece. He was feeding the whole fringe thing. Tucker really went down in my eyes.

Tina
10-03-2007, 04:55 PM

I'm going to say this just one more time, because I'm sure this thread will get flooded with "OMG WHY HAS TUCKER TURNED ON US :(" posts, but...

Tucker is a snide, cynical, smug little son of a bitch. The only person you have to blame for thinking he's turned is yourself for thinking he was ever "pro-paul"

At least he talks about the guy and gets his name out more, treats him as a news-worthy item. I wouldn't support e-mailing him about this, because no one cares what Tucker says anyway.

I mean, I watch his show every damn day, and I *still* don't care about what he says, he's simply entertaining for the fact that he'll attack people from the sides of arguments that no one else on TV will pretend to support.

Tucker definetly shows that he has decided to keep any support for Paul close to his vest...

by what he stated there I doubt seriously he is personally behind Paul when he doesn't understand where Paul stands in relation to the issues....


to hear these folks say we are just a bunch of pimply faced kids down in moms basesment!!!!

Welcome to the jungle baby....hope ya all like the democratic socialist state....beeeattttchhh

People, don't start bashing Tucker here. Early on, he did say -- ONCE, not over and over again -- that he was a "former Ron Paul supporter" in 1988. Later in the segment he said he was proud of his support then and said some other stuff that indicated he still likes/supports Paul.

It wasn't a great segment though, I'll give you that. Kate O'Bierne made some moronic comments.

quickmike
10-03-2007, 05:00 PM
Anyone here really suprsised by all of this? If Hillary takes a dump the MSM will report on it. Thats just how they are. Tucker has to at least give the impression that he reports unbiased journalism, so I kinda understand where hes coming from, at the same time agree he should at least set them straight when someone misrepresents him.


Who knows, maybe hes just biding his time until things heat up in the primaries.

BarryDonegan
10-03-2007, 05:18 PM
slow down ya'll. you're being hypercritical.

the piece was called "fundraising phenom?"

nowhere in the piece did anyone give a view contrasting that point. the total purpose of the point was to prove that ron paul is a fundraising phenom. the female analyst was able to say that they are kids in their moms basement, but tucker said "I SUPPORT RON PAUL FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS, AND I LIVE IN MY OWN HOUSE ABOVE GROUND". at which point he ended the discussion with that as the last word.

tucker was just commenting that he finds it suprising that so many ppl who are into this movement are into it despite the fact that ron paul has such intellectually complex views. tucker likes those views, because he has libertarian leanings, he just feels a little weird that the unwashed masses might like it.

I don't think bashing the only person in the MSM who defends Dr. Paul, covers him more than once a year, and even implies he supports him, is a good strategy. That's just me.

Anyone have the email address for Tucker? I want to correct him on his fair tax crap and let him know that I was highly offended and will limit my MSNBC viewing to just Joe Scarborough from now on.

That was really unexpected from Tucker. :(

i think some people need to relax, tucker isn't a Ron Paul propagandist much as we'd like him to be. This was far from a hit piece and is much needed msm coverage of Ron Paul.

familydog
10-03-2007, 05:39 PM
I haven't seen much if any evidence that Tucker is not a true libertarian. He doesn't support everything the LP party believes or libertarian thinkers of the past, but he is a lot like Dr. Paul in that he has conservative views too.

Trying to label Tucker as not a true libertarian is dangerous water. It reminds me of people saying I'm not a true conservative or a true republican because I support a non-interventionist foreign policy while I whole-heartidly support Dr. Paul.

The way I see it, Tucker is the only one in the MSM that has a lot nightly audience, and is friendly and supportive of Dr. Paul and libertarian policies. Everyone here including me complains about the MSM and their ignoring of Dr. Paul, so I'm going support anything that challenges that. The ABC piece tonight was great exposure and it was pretty fair, but does it matter so much in the long run if they never cover him again? It just seems odd to complain about the MSM not covering Mr. Paul, but when someone in the MSM does in a fair and supportive way, they get hammered because they don't say "exactly" what we want or deserve to hear.

Glad I missed it, still angered by the snide remarks on MSNBC earlier when the 5 million was announced, "What's up with THAT?" Their apparently naive or ignorant political analyst follow up................"4 million people with a sense of humor", I think he did say 4 million.
How can these people comment on things as "experts" and not know anything?
Hope this is okay as I remarked on this in another thread at the time.

Tis nothing. It's just hard to tell whether Tucker is friend or foe, but I guess he's gotta keep that MSM job...so who knows.

If keeping his job means he has to misrepresent Paul and his supporters on MSNBC then I would say, he is a foe.

Buchanan is another one, jumping on the Huckabee bandwagon in places where he use to promote Paul.

Easily 8 out of 10 Paul supporters here know where he stands on every issue. I do.


I'm done with watching Tucker. Today is a day to celebrate and we have all the reason to be highly encouraged and keep on keeping on.

Tucker inspired me to print up 50 more fliers right now. :D

Tucker still has to try to be an objective journalist. He can't turn his show into a propaganda hour. You guys get mad when other journalists swoon over Hillary. This is what he is trying to avoid but with RP.

I partially agree with Tucker on the Fairtax comment. I remember hearing a Ron Paul interview months ago say that the FairTax would be a better deal than the IRS and he doesn't think its a real bad idea, but he very much would rather just cut spending as well as eliminate the IRS. So Fairtax is pretty much secondary to what his intentions are.
