Oh man this is a hit piece - O'donnell is trying to trap RP cause RP won't quit and then says this means RP doesn't support term limits.

he did ok, I wish he'd learn to settle down a bit. He practices restraint really well, but he needs to be calm on the inside, not just outwardly restrained. Getting pissed without showing it causes breaks in speech that don't make any sense. He makes sense to us because we've heard him talk about this stuff so much.

They tried to trap him on Civil Rights, he basically just said private property is an absolute and connected it to personal liberties. He said liberty is all one thing, so liberals can't just be for civil liberties and then be against economic liberties and private property.

Oh boy. I'm assuming that Paul didn't really expect this kind of smear.

But still, considering how O'Donnell treated Schiff back in 2009 I couldn't say this is surprising.

I can definitely see this as ammunition for the Conway campaign to use as a guilt-by-association smear and as a means of casting the Paul family as racist.

Ron and Rand need to boycott any MSNB$ appearances until after the mid-term elections.

Epic

Ron Paul speaks more effectively (and uses a lower, more masculine tone) when he does prepared remarks. When he does argumentative live tv, he gets flustered a bit more, and it comes off "whiny".

The actual content of his communication is very good. But his delivery is sub-par in live tv interviews. There's nothing wrong with that - it's fairly standard for old people - but it will hurt him to some extent in the campaign.

Epic
10-11-2010, 08:47 PM
Also, RP mentioned several times that he only agreed to come on the show if they wouldn't discuss other candidates. But O'donnell pressed him on Christie, Rand and Conway, thus breaking the agreement.

O'donnell said he didn't know about the agreement.

I thought Ron did a much better job than he has in the past with all things considered (out of context quotes, agreement that was broken, putting words in his mouth, etc).

Why in the world would Ron's people have him go on the Lawrence O'Donnell Show? That guy would be a world class prick to his own grandmother -- I mean I really think he has some sort of problem.

At least no one watches MS-NBC as it is, and certainly not a guy who's just a nasty asshole like O'Donnell.

Putting him in his own show was about as brilliant as giving Elliot Spitzer a show.

I haven't even seen the clip and I already know it was retarded.

"government" caused the problems he uses to spport an argument in favor of MORE "government

is that circular logic, cognative disance or a non-sequiter:eek:

Here's a cheat sheet:

Circular Logic example: Assume govt is good. But there are problems in govt. So gov't, being good, can fix its problems.

Cognitive Dissonance example: "I believe the gov't can solve any problem, but gov't has inherent problems"

Non-sequitur: "There is a problem. The gov't can, should, and will solve it."

I think the most apt descriptor here is: Asshole pushing an agenda, facts be damned.

HU? That wasn't a bad interview, Paul stuck to his guns and didn't budge! In fact I thought he made Lawrence O'Donnell look like an idiot, he made Ron Paul repeat things over and over, and Lawrence still said he didn't understand, even though a 5 grader could have understood.

If you walk into an interview with Lawrence O'Donnel, expect him to be rude. He continually talked all over Peter Schiff whenever he interviewed him last year, substituting logic for yelling over his opponent.

Actually, it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to walk circles around such a guy in an interview. O'Donnel's knows he is so right, it is easy to let him fall on his own sword. But Dr. Paul doesn't play games like that; he came in for an interview, and that is what he tried to give.

Russia Today covers him to bash America

All the stations have had him on to bash him.

Now it's to bash Rand. Nothing new at all. I've been opposed to him appearing on these programs for years now.

I constantly have to remind myself that it is only the extreme elements of both the left and right that despise Ron Paul. The moderate left and right are drawn to his message in a way that is unique because both philosophies are unified by a principled American statesman with a track record under his belt and it's why he garners the most support from independents like myself.

I don't think anyone should go on MSNBC unless they have like ZERO name recognition. Ron Paul has enough name recognition that he doesn't need MSNBC anymore. By going on there, it is giving them the ability to shape his viewpoints for him.

Hypothetically, I can safely assume Rand would have ripped O'Donnell's head off if he was being interviewed. Ron is far too cordial and lacking killer instinct in such hostile settings.

I DVR'd that and watched it when I got up this morning; it really ruined my morning cup of joe. O'Donnell did a pretty masterful job of setting RP up. He stayed nice and calm while Ron was seemingly jumping all over the place. The viewership of MSNBC most likely walked away from that interview with a distaste for Paul. I agree with the posters before me: Ron needs to stay away from MSNBC going forward.

I have to say that Congressman Paul did not do a great job in answering Lawrence O'Donnell's questions. Many of the questions that were asked him were straightforward, even quoting him in context, but Dr. Paul seemed to go on tangents in order to explain himself. He did not answer the civil rights question directly, and his response was very similar to Rand Paul's when he was asked that same question by Rachel Maddow. Ron could have answered better on that one.

Even liberal opponents of Congressman Paul could see he struggled through that interview, as one poster on Democratic Underground (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9298548#9298946) notes:

Ron Paul was sooo confusing!

He was asked about term limits, and when asked why his ass was still in the same job since 1970....
Ron Paul changed to ...."it depends"...like wtf is that supposed to even mean?

Than he was asked a question on his stance on the Civil Rights Amendment of 1964, and he answered by bringing up property rights! WTF is that supposed to even mean? That civil rights were less important than property rights....cause one could not tell by listening to him, what he was trying to say....just this little voice that sounded like a stupid person who can't answer a question head on.

Then he was asked about Medicare, and Ron's confusing ass started talking about no foreign wars and what "Obama's" doing.....and how he would "transition to something else 20 to 25 years from now, so we don't have to worry about it now, cause it would be different" type bullshit....and wouldn't even call the President, President.

Ron Paul came off sounding like a little small cartoon character who's only routine is to say...."let me answer the question, ok", although that's exactly what O'Donnel was letting him do.

I will admit that O'Donell had Ron Paul where he wanted him; not making a single fucking lick of sense!

The fact that you think Ron Paul held his own, with his little silly whiny assholy self, tells me more about you than I'd ever want to know.

I'm sorry, but Dr. Paul did not handle that interview well, and he lost his composure. :(

As always, if he agrees to be interviewed in hostile territory then he needs to prepare better. He is confusing to listen to when flustered even for someone who has been listening to him for years.

That said, the interview started great and he held is own until the last 5 minutes. He and his son need some way to answer the "states rights= racism and slavery" false equation in under 45 seconds or less.

He obviously went into the interview expecting one line of questioning and got something completely different. Hence all the "agreement" chastizing. It's hard to prepare for an ambush, especially when you're used to pretty good treatment and fair interviews like Ron usually gets on MSNBC. I have no doubt that Ron was told one thing to get him on and then LOD's questions were entirely opposite of that and an unexpected attack. It's easier when you know you're going to be smeared...



That said, the interview started great and he held is own until the last 5 minutes. He and his son need some way to answer the "states rights= racism and slavery" false equation in under 45 seconds or less.

I admit that it's hard to convince people who, by-and-large, believe that the government "gives" you your rights that YOUR rights to property are no more or less important than someone else's rights to not be racially harrassed. They have done a great job skewing the history of the Civil Rights movement to the point that most people have no clue what really went on.
