I watched that Jon Stewart's clip from last night show at least 5 times today. And it isn't even particulary short clip, as you know. Is that normal? And every time I watched it, I have been more excited, and I simply couldn't believe how good it is, how great it is, how fucking awesome it is!!! My impresion is that it is something you just can not buy with money, no matter how much you have.
And it is not that it's just throughly true, honest, funny and inspiring comedy piece - I think it is tremendously influential as well, and it would pretty much reshape the way MSM treats RP later in the campaign. Actually, Jon Stewart is pretty influential. Let me just remind you how his criticism of CNN's Crossfire led to shutdown of that show almost immediately. (Unfortunately, I must say, because I like Tucker Carlson very much, and he is doing great job at The Daily Caller to promote RP and to call out other candidates). Or how much trouble he caused to CNBC's Mad Money author Jim Cramer for his silly and biased financial predictions. Actually , he is one of the most influential people in media, and one capable to almost single handedly reshape media stance on an issue. Right now we can see his influence at best - literally overnight Ron Paul went from being pariah to hot issue. They are all discussing if RP was underrated, if he was ignored, they compare him to other candidates, etc. Right now, having Ron Paul on air, or talking about him is in, it's cool, and somehow Ron Paul gets Robin Hood image, which is not bad at all, if you ask me.
Actually, yesterday when we all here were so pissed and demoralised with media bloc out , I wanted to post thread and express my hope that Stewart or Colbert would at least make some jokes about Bachmann's "huge" victory at Ames, or call out Fox for biased reporting on it. But as I praised Bill Maher few days ago for something I see as his support for Ron Paul, and I also mentioned Jon Stewart as honest and smart man - even if left liberal - during argument about that with some members here, I got cold and hostile reaction from quite a number of members , and I was accused of spreading socialist propaganda on RPF, so I decided against it. So, I think it should be our lesson not to dismiss anybody's support, either it is from right or from left, because Ron Paul will certainly need every and each voice of support in this battle.
