Jay Leno in five minutes!

[TechnoGuyRob]

YouTube's coming soon, PM me if you got one.

[Lois]

So is this the thread where we're discussing the show?

[American]

Not on the west coast, or at least not for me anyways....:(

[Eric21ND]

sure is...I'm all giddy!

[jcbraithwaite7]

I'm so excited! I can't wait to see him on Leno.

It was cool watching all the Ron Paul signs on the post debate with Chris Matthews.

[0zzy]

~~~waiting.

[risiusj]

He won't be on for a half hour or so.
Don't forget, there is a chat room for these types of things.

[newmedia4ron]

Stay Off The Official Ron Paul Site. Let The Noobs In.

[MsDoodahs]

Tuned in!

Here we go!

[Delaware]

what channel

[Man from La Mancha]

Never did like the chat rooms too may comments at once.

.

[honkywill]

Ron Edwards?

[Man from La Mancha]

Where is ronpaul radio or there another site to listen too live, I'm on the west coast

.

[ionlyknowy]

is there some sort of streaming video for the leno show? I am on the west coast and dont know if I have leno... what station is leno on?

[Spirit of '76]

Never did like the chat rooms too may comments at once.

.

Same here.

Glad Josh, Bryan, and crew set up the new server...

[jblosser]

NBC regular broadcast.

[kylejack]

Don't start that Ron Edwards shit again, guys.

[0zzy]

ROFL
ROFL
ROFL

"Ya, he's the only man in Washington who asked more women to take off their clothes then Bill Clinton"

I laughed so much.

[RobS]

looking good, crowd was VERY enthusiastic when he mentioned Ron Paul. :D:):D:)

[Dary]

Ron Paul has told more women to take off their clothes than Bill Clinton.

Haha.

[Buzz]

Did anyone hear that ovation when Leno mentioned Paul's name? Looks like we've got the place packed!

[richard1984]

This may be the sharpest crowd I've ever heard on a late night show. Also, the jokes are quiet topical.

Ron Paul supporters pushing the envelope!

Welcome to the new, improved, well educated America! :D

[Buzz]

ROFL
ROFL
ROFL

"Ya, he's the only man in Washington who asked more women to take off their clothes then Bill Clinton"

I laughed so much.

Classic. I don't know how nobody thought of that one yet.

[Dary]

I wish they would start chanting RON PAUL!!

[richard1984]

Dr. Paul's a pimp (in a good way). What can I say? :D

It's not a bad thing. A lot of people like Bill Clinton for little more than that reason (that he's a "pimp," though a sleazy one).

Ron Paul is the ultimate bad ass. :cool:

[JuniorNJ]

Nice crowd there tonight, pretty funny joke by Leno too. I wonder what the crowd will be like when RP comes out

[kylejack]

Isn't it funny how Ron Paul gets more applause than Tom Cruise? I love how we dominate every event we touch. I just love it.

[richard1984]

I wish they would start chanting RON PAUL!!

Didn't Leno tell the crowd beforehand not to do things like that?

[JuniorNJ]

I also enjoyed how Leno let them cheer, if you noticed he paused so they could give a nice applause -- he didn't seem mad.

[margomaps]

w00t! Ron Paul ad #1 just aired during the commercial break here in NH. :D

[richard1984]

w00t! Ron Paul ad #1 just aired during the commercial break here in NH. :D

:cool::D:cool::D

Awesome!!!

I'm jealous!
;)

[georgia_tech_swagger]

Congrats to Ernie Hancock for getting RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE of the shot with his Ron Paul hat!

[0zzy]

I also enjoyed how Leno let them cheer, if you noticed he paused so they could give a nice applause -- he didn't seem mad.

Seemed surprised.

[sylvania]

He's catching on, I'm telling ya!

[johnscr]

See the guy in third row with the Ron Paul T-shirt ?

[richard1984]

Seemed surprised.

Like I said, it's one of the sharpest crowds I've ever heard on late night. :D

[wgadget]

Yep, so is that saying...heh.

[murrayrothbard]

Yellow autographed Ron Paul Revolution Tshirt spotting in the audience... :D

[kylejack]

I hear that ad is catching on.

[richard1984]

Wow...Leno's a pervert.... :rolleyes:

edit: and again! :eek:

[Electric Church]

it's times like these i regret disconnecting my cable service

[Danny Molina]

I'm in California is there anywhere I can catch it early.

[kylejack]

Betty White is hear to see the Sex Pistols ahahahaha

[Man from La Mancha]

where is a streaming link? anybody can stream it to us?..

.

[brumans]

it's times like these i regret disconnecting my cable service

Jay Leno is on Regular TV (NBC)... not cable.

As long as you at least have rabbit ears you can tune in :P

[ronpaulfan]

Betty White is hear to see the Sex Pistols ahahahaha

lol. I can't believe they threw an egg at her face. That's messed up!! :p

[jcbraithwaite7]

So isn't Tom Cruise a good pal of Rosie's? I hope they don't bring up 9/11!

[kylejack]

She didn't flinch because she is hard core. Golden Girlz 4 Lyfe!! She and Bea Arthur are ghost face killaz!

[murrayrothbard]

She didn't flinch because she is hard core. Golden Girlz 4 Lyfe!! She and Bea Arthur are ghost face killaz!

LOL

[Badger4Paul]

oh dear lord lol!!! there is a tomcruiseforums.com

[jcbraithwaite7]

Tom's hair looks like crap.

[Electric Church]

Jay Leno is on Regular TV (NBC)... not cable.

As long as you at least have rabbit ears you can tune in :P

I haven't seen those since I left my parents place many years ago...:(

[Politeia]

I'm in California is there anywhere I can catch it early.

No, it's major network TV, they control it pretty closely. You might be able to find a live feed on an east coast TV station? According to comments at Daily Paul, it's not likely to be posted at YouTube because of copyright problems, BUT you can watch it tomorrow on NBC's site:
http://www.nbc.com/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/video/episodes.shtml

Since I don't have TV, that's where I'll be looking.

[georgia_tech_swagger]

Tom has emo hair... and is kinda awkwardly shy out there. Need a South Park of Tom Cruise as one of the "non-conformists".

[kylejack]

Tom's got a pretty cool looking haircut these days. A little longer.

[richard1984]

Tom's hair looks like crap.

Yeah. I was about to comment on it.
He looks almost scary--definitely creepy. Maybe this is his Halloween costume?
He looks like the anti-Christ or something.... :p:rolleyes:

[jcbraithwaite7]

I would jump on the couch for Ron Paul... I love him!

[Badger4Paul]

he looks like ichobod crane without the ponytail

[0zzy]

He seems weird today.
I don't see the sex appeal.
He seems like a bookworm guy atm.
geeky.

[jcbraithwaite7]

He seems kind of flat tonight... kind of blah... maybe he took Matt Lauer's advice and got some Prozac.

[kylejack]

That was kind of a weird conversation. Tom Cruise is acting too normal.

[olehounddog]

Looked ticked off to me

[devil21]

Tom's suit is sweet. Id definitely wear that.

[erblo]

I was there at the taping! Ron does super!

[richard1984]

Yeah. I was about to comment on it.
He looks almost scary--definitely creepy. Maybe this is his Halloween costume?
He looks like the anti-Christ or something.... :p:rolleyes:

Or at least like some heroin dealer or something.

Actually, maybe it's Soma. (You know, like Brave New World.)

"No Ritalin. Only Soma," says Tommy.

[kylejack]

Yes, I like the suit and the hair. Sharp match.

[richard1984]

I was there at the taping! Ron does super!

Where did you sit?

[0zzy]

I was there at the taping! Ron does super!

Forizzle! Good to know! :)

[MsDoodahs]

I was there at the taping! Ron does super!

Thank you for saying that, I had not seen any comments from those who attended!

And welcome!

:)

[RPinSEAZ]

He seems kind of flat tonight... kind of blah... maybe he took Matt Lauer's advice and got some Prozac.

lol that's unpossible. Tom wouldn't be able to be made clear of his alien personalities and walk on L. Ron Hubbard's bridge.

[kylejack]

Erblo SILENCE!

[jcbraithwaite7]

I was trying to read his lips to see what was said when he leaned over to Jay. He seems really odd tonight... well his odd is normal I guess.

[kylejack]

"My next guest is a stone cold bad ass...."

[richard1984]

I'm confused by what was just said. Maybe I'm not listening well enough, but was some of that conversation (right before they started talked about the film itself) rather incoherent?

[jcbraithwaite7]

Hmmmm... maybe him and Ron can chat history!!!

[alien]

I'm waiting for Tom to jump up on the chair and say I love you Ron!

[Wilkero]

Apparently Leno thinks we should understand history. Somebody give his number to Bill O'Reilly.

[kylejack]

Its Sean Edwards, you dunce Leno.

[jcbraithwaite7]

this is painful.... Tom is no longer Top Gun. Come on bring on the real Top Gun!!!

[murrayrothbard]

Apparently Leno thinks we should understand history. Somebody give his number to Bill O'Reilly.

Lol, i was thinking that exact same thing when he said that

[murrayrothbard]

Heeeeeeeeeerrrre comes RON!

[Starks]

Leno has a right to be uninformed... He's an entertainer.

[richard1984]

Thank God for this crowd!!! :D:D:D

They're adding so much. I hope this gets big....

[jcbraithwaite7]

Darn I was hoping Tom would stay, fall in love with Ron Paul and then talk Oprah into switching from Team Obama to the Ron Paul Revolution.

[unconsious767]

I sure hear a lot of cheers for Ron. How many of you spammed the audience? :P

[MsDoodahs]

I'm hoping Ron does really well tonight. I have relatives that are staying up just to watch, will be the first time one of them gets to see RP.

[peacemonger]

I hope this leno show can get us the 474K boost we need to meet the goal.

23hrs 20min remaining in Oct---

[alien]

I think Oprah passed the point of no return when she gave Obama all the money.

[ThePieSwindler]

SOMEONE WITH A TV TUNER make sure to record this!!!!!

[McDermit]

Ooh, love the intro questions.

[MsDoodahs]

Austrian economics. YAY.

[braeden0613]

i love the applause..good work guys

[murrayrothbard]

Mises Institute Ftw!!! Woot!!!

[richard1984]

He seems slightly uncomfortable. He stuttered a little bit.

He's so cute!!! :D
;)

[walt]

Ron brought up social security - ughhhhh.............

[kylejack]

Austrian economics being discussed on Leno, wtf, wow! Also, Leno is totally shilling for us.

[MsDoodahs]

My heart is pounding. I get soooo nervous whenever Ron is on television.

[mtbaird5687]

Hes doing good, he just needs to learn to speak more coherently and clearly.

[murrayrothbard]

Flat Like Zero!!! Wooooooooot!

[MsDoodahs]

"Flat like zero."

I LOVE RON PAUL!

[mtbaird5687]

That makes him sound like he wants to get rid of ALL taxes, which might make people think hes nutty

[MsDoodahs]

Ron brought up social security - ughhhhh.............

And handled it BEAUTIFULLY.

No problem with that, none at all.

Brilliant.

[braeden0613]

this is going very well...

[Brutus]

One time in 6 years I wish I had network TV... Please, someone post this. I want to see this. :)

[richard1984]

He's on fire now!!! :D

He's getting comfortable! (and so am I)

[McDermit]

This interview rules.

[mtbaird5687]

I thought he did good. Beginning was shaky, but by the end he was cool and collected.

[Electric Church]

can't wait to see this:(

[kylejack]

A few snags, but overall a great interview!

[richard1984]

I have to see that again.

[nullvalu]

OMFG He did way better than I even hoped, HE ROCKED!!! YES!!

[murrayrothbard]

That makes him sound like he wants to get rid of ALL taxes, which might make people think hes nutty

Oh no, no taxes, the horror :rolleyes:

[jcbraithwaite7]

Does he stay for the Sex Pistols?

[Badger4Paul]

"I may have my shortcomings but the message has no shortcomings. Liberty is what America is all about."

[Zydeco]

That was outstanding!

Best line at the end, Leno:

"Ron Paul! We'll be right back with the Sex Pistols!"

[Trassin]

YouTube please...

[MsDoodahs]

Was that as great as I think it was?

[Chrispy]

GREAT Interview! Seriously that went as well as it could have.

[daviddee]

...

[MGreen]

Leno took out a book as they cut away... possibly Paul's book?

Good interview over all. I think he should have spent an itty bit more time on Social Security, but it was still very positive and the crowd's support really helps.

[Buzz]

:D

[RonPaulGetsIt]

that was a great piece - the momentum is strong

[jblosser]

That makes him sound like he wants to get rid of ALL taxes, which might make people think hes nutty

The only taxes he's seriously advocated are voluntary ones.

[Dustancostine]

Great Interview. I loved it. Thanks Leno

[0zzy]

People might misinterpret his idea of "flat tax, 0" as in no taxes whatsoever. But he was just referring to the Income tax.

[shepburn]

A few snags, but overall a great interview!

what snags? are you kidding me?

[Wilkero]

Absolutely the best mainstream network coverage of Ron Paul that I have ever seen. It wasn't "news" coverage, but this was the best opportunity he's had to give a relatively detailed explanation of his ideas and policies to a large, national viewing audience.

[murrayrothbard]

The only taxes he's seriously advocated are voluntary ones.

what the heck is a voluntary tax?

[sparat1k]

Dr. Paul showed charm tonight!

[AlexAmore]

HAHA Ron Paul DOES have a risk of winning! LOL

[Brian Bailey]

That went as well as it possibly could have. I'm so stoked.

[MS0453]

I gotta say, I love the guy but sometimes he looks a bit shaky.

But just now, he looked like the POTUS. He really had the mojo going tonight.

[BrazilLuLa]

Great Interview. I loved it. Thanks Leno

That interview was flawless.

Ron Paul just did himself a lot of favors!

Man, that made my day guys!

Dave

[nullvalu]

what the heck is a voluntary tax?

The Federal Income tax, as defined, is voluntary. Watch America: Freedom to Fascism.

[paulitics]

that was a good interview. I loved the "there is a risk I could win" line.

[PINN4CL3]

Did he crush that interview or what!? This is probably the best I've seen him, and it couldn't have come at a better time, imo. I am so excited for the future right now!

[Man from La Mancha]

like your favorite charity

.

[daviddee]

...

[0zzy]

big smiley Paul

[RJB]

best interview

[Dustancostine]

what the heck is a voluntary tax?

Sales Tax is voluntary. If you don't want to pay it you don't have to buy anythiing. By purchasing you choose to pay the tax.

[RPatTheBeach]

I want to fly out to Cali and give Leno a hug.

That was BADASS!!

[runderwo]

Tonight was indisputably a grand slam. We're going to be looking back on this one...

[MsDoodahs]

"Anarchy in the UK, perfect for you" :rolleyes:

No, Ron's a minarchist.

It would be perfect for me, as I'm an anarchist.

[Magsec]

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Leno to RP: "This song is perfect for you"
Singer: "I AM THE AAAANTI-CHRIIIIST!!!"

.........

[unconsious767]

Hi Mr. PAUL!

[walt]

hhahahaa - the introduction of the sex pistols - anarchy - perfect for you ron... ROFL

[cmc]

I was hoping Leno would bring up chocolate chip cookies. :D

[CurtisLow]

I gotta say, I love the guy but sometimes he looks a bit shaky.

But just now, he looked like the POTUS. He really had the mojo going tonight.

Yeah I seen that too.. I'm sure he was a little nervous but in the end owned!

[0zzy]

Anarchism is perfect for Ron Paul, hah. Glad he got his book in sorta :)

[nullvalu]

"Hello Mr. Paul!" from the Sex Pistols!!

[mtbaird5687]

wow, haha, johnny rotten asked him when we're getting out of iraq? haha

[MS0453]

Sales Tax is voluntary. If you don't want to pay it you don't have to buy anythiing. By purchasing you choose to pay the tax.

Not voluntary, indirect. Seller's are required to collect them.

[murrayrothbard]

Sales Tax is voluntary. If you don't want to pay it you don't have to buy anythiing. By purchasing you choose to pay the tax.

BS. If i want to buy something, I give money to someone and they give me something else. If I am forced to also pay someone else for the privledge of partaking in this trade it is quite clearly NOT voluntary. :rolleyes:

[shepburn]

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Leno to RP: "This song is perfect for you"
Singer: "I AM THE AAAANTI-CHRIIIIST!!!"

.........

relax .... Leno just speaking off cuff.

the interview spoke for itself

[jcbraithwaite7]

uhmmm.... I would like to remember the Sex Pistols from my college days. So Rolling Stones can pull off old guys rocking out but this is creepy.

[Trassin]

Anyone happen to watch it with their parents or grandparents? What was their reaction.

[georgia_tech_swagger]

Epic win for biggest threat is to civil liberties here at home.

[wfd40]

Talk about being clutch under pressure...

This was a huge moment for Dr. Paul and the campaign... High fives all around!

[richard1984]

Great music to follow Ron Paul! :rolleyes:

Damn Jonny Rotten's too old to do this now....

[singapore_sling]

After watching that interview my sister said "well he's got my vote".

[Revolution9]

Hes doing good, he just needs to learn to speak more coherently and clearly.

Yeah. The most coherent and clear speaker on the political stage in generations and he needs to.....

Randy

[0zzy]

"Hey ron paul!"
ROFL!
:D

[mtbaird5687]

Haha Ron walked over and shook his hand and looked so goofy ahah i love this guy

[Magsec]

LMAO he shook the singer's hand at the end.

[alien]

Ron Paul just shook Rotton's hand. 2 funny...........

[Dustancostine]

BS. If i want to buy something, I give money to someone and they give me something else. If I am forced to also pay someone else for the privledge of partaking in this trade it is quite clearly NOT voluntary. :rolleyes:

The only way you pay the tax is by voluntarily making the transaction no one is forcing you to make the transaction. The income tax is force.

[Tratzman]

Talk about being clutch under pressure...

This was a huge moment for Dr. Paul and the campaign... High fives all around!


Agree!! It was a clutch performance. I was really proud of him.

Chad

[Suzu]

I wonder if Conan's going to mention him....

Did you hear the Sex Pistols' singer include "Mr. Paul" in the song?

[UCFGavin]

i really liked the interview. its good to see dr. paul getting out there right now, since we've slowed down somewhat.

[Wilkero]

He nailed that interview. He was prepped and ready and it showed. I can't begin to express how well he did. Sometimes he seems a little scattered in debates, but tonight he was AMAZING.

[82ndVET4RP]

Rad! He shook Johnny Rotten's hand.

[unconsious767]

This spot owns. Whomever youtubes it, make sure to get "Hi, Mr. Paul" from Rotten or whatever he said.

[alien]

Ya'll get out of me brain. hehe

[PathIveMade]

Ron Paul and Johnny Rotten..... gotta love it!

[robertwerden]

can you say mutual ratings boost!

[remaxjon]

My girl who hates the great doctor said he did great and couldn't believe how funny he was

I think he won some votes tonight Hail to the Chief

[MsDoodahs]

I did hear the singer mention the good doctor, but I thought I was imagining it, lol...

[murrayrothbard]

The only way you pay the tax is by voluntarily making the transaction no one is forcing you to make the transaction. The income tax is force.

Um what gives you the right to extract a levy on my private transactions with other people? What if I don't pay?

[peacemonger]

Sex Pistols 4 Paul
Anarchy in the USA

Yeah!
That rocked!

[TyTodd]

That was an awesome interview. Leno asked leading questions that following along the lines of typical dissent regarding Paul's policy which were softballs in this format. Dr. Paul was fantastic... relaxed, sharp, funny. And, the shout out from the Sex Pistols and Paul shaking their hand at the end was priceless.

This was a tipping point for the campaign!

[Isupportliberty]

Paul/Rotten '08!

[fightfortruth]

I thought that was the best Ron Paul interview in a while.

[RevolutionSD]

youtube? I'm on the west coast!

[OURPLAN]

Seeing Ron and Johnny Rotten shake hands warms my heart;)

[jblosser]

Tax isn't the best word but conceptually a voluntary tax is one you send the government on your own volition. They can tell us what defense budget they want and we can send them money for it, or not. If we don't want them to take our persons by force for defense (the draft), why do we want them to take our money by force for it? If we won't step up for defense it's our problem, they don't magically get authority to make us do it.

PS Obviously the constitutional position allows the states to figure this out for themselves.

[OURPLAN]

Did Johnny give ROn a shout out?

[hopeforamerica]

My girl who hates the great doctor said he did great and couldn't believe how funny he was

I think he won some votes tonight Hail to the Chief

How can you date someone that hates Ron Paul? I would find someone new immediately :p

[stones88]

That was very cool! Ron Paul shaking hands with Johnny Rotten was priceless.

[jcbraithwaite7]

My girl who hates the great doctor said he did great and couldn't believe how funny he was

I think he won some votes tonight Hail to the Chief

You can kiss someone who hates the good doctor? That would be a deal breaker for me!

[austin356]

Praise da Paul, Praise da Paul.


We are a fucking cult here. If you are reading this read you are "we" and if you deny the claim you are just in the stage of denial.

[Vonhayek7]

Not sure, but it looked like he said hello mr. paul and turned around and shook his ass at him ha. Kinda surreal and probably a culture shock, but i'm sure he had fun haha.

Pretty cool he namedropped austrian economics.

[murrayrothbard]

Tax isn't the best word but conceptually a voluntary tax is one you send the government on your own volition. They can tell us what defense budget they want and we can send them money for it, or not.

If we won't step up for defense it's our problem, they don't magically get authority to make us do it.

PS Obviously the constitutional position allows the states to figure this out for themselves.

Right, that's not a tax it's a donation. There is no such thing as a voluntary tax. If it's voluntary it's not a tax.

[steph3n]

That was very cool! Ron Paul shaking hands with Johnny Rotten was priceless.

and I turned it off :(

[MsDoodahs]

Did Johnny give ROn a shout out?

Yes. :)

[Kap]

HAHA Ron Paul DOES have a risk of winning! LOL

That was an awesome line from Ron Paul.

[Wilkero]

How can you date someone that hates Ron Paul? I would find someone new immediately :p

I'm married to someone who doesn't like Ron Paul, but she doesn't care that I do. We just disagree on politics. I can't help it if she's wrong and refuses to admit it, so I pity her. The funny thing is, she thinks the same thing about me.

[margomaps]

Did Johnny give ROn a shout out?

Here's what I saw:

"Hey Mr. Paul!!!" (I guess he forgot he's a Dr)

After that, he turned his butt toward Ron and started rubbing and/or wiggling it. Did anyone else catch that? I wasn't sure if he was trying to taunt him, or what that was exactly.

But then they shook hands afterwards. Ron Paul and Johnny Rotten shaking hands -- truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.

[RevolutionSD]

youtube?

[austin356]

My girl who hates the great doctor



You should say bi bi bi, babe!


How anyone other than Hannity can hate the Remarkable Doctor, is beyond me.

[Dustancostine]

Um what gives you the right to extract a levy on my private transactions with other people? What if I don't pay?

Because the govt. is responsible for upholding contracts and that what a purchase is, a contract. If you and the other seller have a disagreement, the govt. is the one who has to sort it out.

If you don't buy (your choice), you don't pay. If you buy, the seller adds that to the price and pays the tax on your behalf. It is voluntary. If you don't want to pay the tax you do not half to, by not purchasing.

The purpose of govt. is to uphold personal liberty. (Including property rights)

[Wilkero]

We are a fucking cult here. If you are reading this read you are "we" and if you deny the claim you are just in the stage of denial.

Reading this makes my head hurt. Kind of like when you stand between two mirrors and look at your reflection. Yet, I think Austin is probably correct.

[Tina]

For the venue it was excellent. I could just kiss the good doctor.

[austin356]

Because the govt. is responsible for upholding contracts and that what a purchase is, a contract. If you and the other seller have a disagreement, the govt. is the one who has to sort it out.

Ok professors lets bring this discussion to the lecture hall aka the "ron paul on the issues" section.

[jcbraithwaite7]

Ron Paul's suit and tie were nicer than other interviews.... he looked sharper than normal. I don't like that old man green suit he wears sometimes.

[yaz]

what snags? are you kidding me?

I saw a few snags also. I know he could have done a lot better but it was a great interview overall.

[alien]

Ooops - Conan and his big forehead are on now. Time to tune out.

[jcbraithwaite7]

I watched it again and the only thing I noticed was he had to clear his thoat a lot in the beginning... but that is it.

[Dary]

Here's what I saw:

"Hey Mr. Paul!!!" (I guess he forgot he's a Dr)

After that, he turned his butt toward Ron and started rubbing and/or wiggling it. Did anyone else catch that? I wasn't sure if he was trying to taunt him, or what that was exactly.

But then they shook hands afterwards. Ron Paul and Johnny Rotten shaking hands -- truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.

He wasn't taunting. Rotten gave him a big thumbs up, and he also asked "When are we gonna get out of Iraq".

Ron Paul Punk Rock Star.

[dt_]

I didn't see this.. did the audience like RP? cheered? etc.

[BizmanUSA]

Ron Paul had a SLAM DUNK interview . . . YAHOOOOO

RP even caught Leno off guard with the "risque of winning" comment

Just wished he would have been on earlier.

Hey, I got a thought - Let's have the Sex Pistols open up for Ron Paul at the Philly Rally :D

Like was said before it was the by far the BEST main stream TV appearance RP he has ever got - Period!

We are on our way through the stratophere of MSM crap - I can hear those warp engines reving up

Thank You RON PAUL!

sex pistols, meh. hah

uhmmm.... I would like to remember the Sex Pistols from my college days. So Rolling Stones can pull off old guys rocking out but this is creepy.

I agree. I was really into the Sex Pistols for a while in high school. But man...that was uncomfortable. Jonny Rotten needs some new material! :rolleyes:

[kylejack]

Let's not overlook that Leno is the first mainstream name to call Ron Paul in the top 3.

[itsnobody]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Kue1Podxs

[murrayrothbard]

The purpose of govt. is to uphold personal liberty. (Including property rights)

So the government upholds property rights by violating them? What if I don't want the government agents' help in handling a potential dispute with the seller? Should I still have to pay?

[murrayrothbard]

Ok professors lets bring this discussion to the lecture hall aka the "ron paul on the issues" section.

Sorry :o

[jasonhlasvegas2008]

Your forcing other people to handle disputes outside of the govt, is violating their rights. That is the purpose of govt. whether you like it or not. The govt. can't do this for free. In this case the govt. is not forcing you to do anything or pay anything. If you want to purchase something (i.e. enter into a contract) then a built in cost of that contract is the payment for govt. to handle the jurisdiction in the event that there is a dispute. If you don't want to pay it, don't enter into the contract.

Sorry :o

Me Too :p

I'll leave it at the last post.:)

You never can tell with Johnny Rotten. I hope he was giving a favorable shout out to RP, but my wife and I both got the feeling that maybe that was not the case. Could be that Rotten had no idea what RP stands for - just heard he was a Republican candidate and was taunting him about Iraq. Wouldn't surprise me although I hope not.

But it doesn't really matter because that was a great interview. And Rp shaking Rotten's hand was priceless.

[kill the banks]

he was humble and a perfect gentleman ... God speed ron paul !
his authority is the constitution ~ he should use it as source more to explain taxes etc ... the founder's law and explaining how we are breaking the laws of the land will bond well with american voters , esp in NH ... he did very well & i saw the commercial ad #1 just before show and frankly it came across just fine on hd big screen

Thanks for the quick youtube clip!

Does anyone have the clip of RP shaking Rotten's hand???? I would love to see that!

[The Good Doctor]

Did you notice the band was playing "Everyday People" from Sly and the Family Stone when The Good Doctor was introduced? :D

Not until you mentioned it I didn't.

Nice!

[Trassin]

Anyone have a YouTube clip of RP and Johnny Rotten?

[Corydoras]

President Paul and Johnny Rotten is going to be one of those immortal moments like President Nixon and Elvis shaking hands.

[The Good Doctor]

That is what I was thinking too! :D

I don't think so. THey would have heard the interview where the Dr. clearly talked about getting out of Iraq.

[Trassin]

YouTube of Johnny and RP... please

[fluoridatedbrainsoup]

Talk about being clutch under pressure...

This was a huge moment for Dr. Paul and the campaign... High fives all around!
I initially got the impression that Ron was medicated somewhat, because he was chilled out, I mean waaayychilled out, and the message rang so clear and Leno the big lovable hampster practically pitched Ron's message for him. I just think everything was in sync here and Ron was relaxed and not in any pain (at 72 pain is something to consider, even if you are healthy as can be)

Ron is a medical doctor and obviously took care of himself for this one. On Leno, no less, the most relaxed and easily accessible interview I've ever seen with him.

[TooConservative]

Rad! He shook Johnny Rotten's hand.

Well, the Values Voter crowd might be a tougher sell. The first line of the song they played, Johnny Rotten was singing, "I am the Antichrist". Not so popular with devout Christians.

Wow, nothing like making completely ridiculous leaps of logic.

You mean you actually understood that horrid noise?
