[JosephTheLibertarian]

was Ron Paul finished? That's messed up.

[surf]

wait for details before blasting them - my advice. someone here must know more about this.

[Eli]

holy smokes!

msnbc talking about ron paul being treated unfairly in debates?

that is just downright insane. We may have reached that tipping point as far as the media is concerned. How cool is that? The cool new thing is to support and fight for the underdog ron paul.

[BarryDonegan]

tucker referred to it as the "hip thing".

[speciallyblend]

is this real,did he really get cut off, WHERE IS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO??????

[Eli]

believe it or not, it would be awesome if he did(hopefully we'll get a vid soon). While he's getting tons of media attention him getting blatantly screwed by some forum during a speech would set america a blaze. As long as it made news it'd be 10x better and more exposure than the stupid forum could of ever given him.

Yeah wheres the Youtube Video?

Funny. I saw this in a random youtube comment and thought i'd throw it out there because its funny if true.


I work at Fox and can tell you that Bill is on his way out over this.... about time.
referring to a recent interview he did attacking a kid because the kid knew his stuff and did his research while disagreeing...he totally got his ass kicked.

Thanks Stealth.

[DrNoZone]

Is that the official clip? I noticed they stopped the clip before he was cut off by the loud bumper music.

[1000-points-of-fright]

And it only took $5million for them to notice. That's top notch journalism!

Y'know, when Paul wins it's gonna take a lot of willpower for me to not act like a smug dick. And I'm known for my willpower.

Is there a youtube video of RON PAUL, i saw fred thompson speaking ugh had to cut off. wheres the ron paul video,please dont tell me i have to watch freddead before ron paul

[RoamZero]

I wonder how many times Rudy mentioned 9/11 during his 25 minutes.

[IRO-bot]

Like in Avaroth's Necon Answer video. Probably 25 times.

[wgadget]

I had Rudy playing in the background here and he sounded like he was doing a stand-up routine as a used car salesman.

Not funny.

BTW, Ron Paul is nowhere to be found in these clips.

I got a call this afternoon from a friend who was there. He was Dr. Paul's first press guy from when he came back in 1997 (we started together). According to Michael, Dr. Paul's speech was the most warmly received even though there was applause for Rudy and the others. Overall, it would not be expected to be the most receptive audience for us. We're going for drinks and dinner soon. If there's anything extradinary, I'll pass it along.

Before everyone gets the undies all bunched up, please remember that they are a private group. We are fighting for their right to do as they please (absent the initiation of force and fraud). Misplaced demands of "fairness" or whatever are contrary to our movement.

More sympathetic press coverage! WAHOO!

[ghemminger]

The Coward who posted these videos - deleted the Ron Paul coverage - hopefully we will see another vid from another source pop up - msnbc might run with story....

[Marshall]

Bump.... anybody got a youtube clip of RP?

Hold it; nobody's asking for government goons to go enforce fairness on them. We still have every right to cry foul and criticize them for the way they ran things, and that's not incompatible with libertarianism or Constitutionalism at all.

Ya, but be NICE about any criticisms... Remember, the crowd LIKED him, and it is those people who make up the group you would be COMPLAINING to...

Great to hear that his was the warmest reception!

Let us know what you find out, Bradley, thanks!

I like this comment from the MSNBC users:


That's ok. Ron Paul can say more in 10 minutes than Rudy Giuliani could say in 25 <i>hours</i>.
