Article on Daily Show's coverage of Ron Paul tonight

[sailingaway]

I missed the show but am on the west coast and can catch the repeat. But I'm glad to see the article.

But...."spoiler alert" to others who haven't yet seen the show.

Anyone have a Youtube or link to the video?

[No1ButPaul08]

saw it. It was pretty funny and very favorable to RP showing how principled he is.

[Nate-ForLiberty]

can't wait to see it! I think we're going to see some democrats heading our way.

That is awesome. I hope it leads a bunch of his viewers to look into him. :D

[georgiaboy]

whoa, we truly may be seeing the rise of the first real crossover candidate, dismantling the left-right paradigm.

I hope you are right.

Republicans would be stupid not to nominate Ron Paul. He is the only candidate who can beat Obama.

[BlackTerrel]

Wow the corporate media is really pushing Ron Paul hard. They must be afraid of the rise of Herman Cain :eek:


Seriously though that summary sounds great. Should be good for a lot of positive PR.

[RPsupporterAtHeart]

I so incredibly want to see Paul win the nomination and take Obama on in a McCain/Obama style debate. Obama has the speaking and catch phrases down to a science. But I believe America is moving away from catch phrases and more into substance. This is where Ron will tear him to shreds.

This shows your complete ignorance. You have no brain and no understanding of anything. In the time it took you to write that sentence, you could have convinced four likely Republican primary voters to switch to Paul. Stop wasting time and losing the campaign for everyone.

(No offense Mods, just a little healthy satire)

[BamaAla]

That was a very good piece, but for the love of everything holy DO NOT google lemon party!

[iGGz]

I saw it! I loved when it showed Ron Paul on top of all the other candidates like he was the godfather. Awesome.

[RabbitMan]

Wow, some of the comments on the Gawker video are harsh. I love how they think we are naive anti-war pseudo-intellectuals who don't fully comprehend the concept (and challenge) of liberty, and the insinuation that Ron Paul has a dark agenda that he doesn't talk about. If anything, Dr. Paul's practical views are more compromised to mesh with reality...if only I could wave a magic wand and have people think before they speak. Sigh.

[BuddyRey]

That whole sketch was hilarious, but McCain holding the bag of Funyuns sealed the deal. Best lulz I've had all week!

[hazek]

But I believe America is moving away from catch phrases and more into substance.

Don't be naive. It's human nature to act on emotions rather then reason for most people. Nothing's changed.

Rick Santorum most searched now :)

Unless they vote in Republican primaries, it doesn't matter.
