Ron Paul Debate Videos (for the noobs, and old times sake)

I present to you a compendium of Ron Paul's 2008 debates.

This is the 2nd Republican debate (May 2007) RP schooled Rudy "911" Giuliani. This debate brought him moderate fame and ignited the R3volution.

(Ron Paul won this debate according to viewers)

Following this debate, on the tails of much media sensationalism, Ron Paul gave Rudy a reading list:

I missed 2 or 3 debates...if anyone wants to find and add those vids to this thread that would be much appreciated.

Looks like you got the one with the classic "they're over here because we're over there" line. Not sure from how they are titled, but hopefully one of the above is the MI debate with the classic "why don't we just open up the Constitution and read it?" line. One of the early Jan fox debates had the "borrow 20 billion from china to give to a dictator in pakistan, etc" conclusion, that was another good one. Now I have to go back and watch them all again and make sure any of those classic moments weren't overlooked.

Awesome thread.

How much does it hurt your brain to hear some talking-head on TV now, in respect to terrorism, repeat the line, "Well they are attacking us because they hate freedom and democracy." I think that Gerry lady from Fox Business said that last week on Eric Bolling's show, and that's when I changed the channel.

Great thread. In an effort of completeness, I'd suggest following the list here for all the dates & locations:

Op, you have an error in one of the videos: "Here is Ron Paul on January 5th 2008, right before he was excluded from the Fox news debate in NH". The correct date on this video is September 5, 2007.

My favorite debate, since it actually felt like there were glimpses of intelligent discussion, that occurred on January 5, 2008 was on ABC:
