Ron Paul mentioned on Anderson Cooper 360 Politics

[brumans]

They were talking about politics and had a funny image of Ron Paul with a dynamite by him and then the dynamite exploded and money came out.

The guy said "they call it a money bomb.. ron paul raised over $2,000,000 in just 12 hours. They then send they couldn't confirm the number".

It was still a good little piece though.. they didn't put much emphasis on couldn't confirm, so you hardly noticed it.

There will be even better reports tomorrow when the dust settles :)

[Brinck Slattery]

what's with all the "the numbers can't be confirmed..." talk in the reporting on this?

[slantedview]

From the CNN news ticker:

"Ticker: Ron Paul claims to raise $2.7M in a day "

2.7? Better update those figures dudes.

[Ron Paul Fan]

Did Soledad O'Brien call him the flaky Congressman again?

[Abyss19562]

Yeah, we've gotten way past 2.7 million. Aren't we at like 3.6 million ?!

These people don't understand how a computer operates.

Seems that is the way the MSM is going to blow this all off. I have also heard them suggest that these are only pledges, not real money.

We all must realize that they are not going to give RP a break. They will eventually learn.

As the old saying goes, "he who laughs last, laughs best." :D

They're worried about reporting false information.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ron Paul Fan, I apologize for that quarrel a few weeks ago. I wanted to tell you directly but I am now telling you.

[ladyliberty]

Any good reporter would add that the number is not confirmed. Unless the Ron Paul campaign announces it officially, they could get in trouble if it turns out there was a mistake somewhere. They are rightfully careful.

"They're calling it a money bomb, on what some people are calling 'The Internet'"

See, November 5th and a message of freedom - bringing RP Fans and Dudes together.

Even better than the money bomb!!!

(ok, almost...)

Even if it is computer software?

They actually spent a little time doing art of him specifically for this? Good sign.

Perhaps they really just can't believe it?

[American]

They cant confirm it either until the end of the quarter too.....=\

[zebov]

OBLIGATORY: Youtube?

A compuiter software program confirms it.

Yeah it was actually kinda funny. Made me giggle.

[American]

We shall see, but it was this way last quarter, we had to wait for the FEC numbers to come out. but either way it was an awesome day.

[Ron Paul Fan]

The campaign will issue a press release tomorrow confirming the number and hopefully it will be talked about all over the media!

[slantedview]

LOL. The "alleged" Internet.

[yoman]

They're worried about reporting false information.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That made my day even more memorable.

[dircha]

I don't hear anyone giving disclaimers like that when the Hillary or Obama or Giuliani campaigns give a fundraising figure for an event.

Their graphics guys are Paul supporters. ;)

[Mandrik]

Hopefully someone puts this tiny clip up on YouTube. I just rewinded it on the DVR back to the spot to watch it again. Something caught my eye in the little graphic they used. I went back and watched it in slow-mo. Someone REALLY cared about this. When the dynamite and Ron Paul's head both explode, $5 bills popped up, but they were clearly labeled as gold or silver certificates (couldn't really tell, it was kinda blurry). Either way, they weren't Fed notes.

AWESOME!

[torchbearer]

LOL. The "alleged" Internet.

A.K.A. The Internets

[ashlux]

I really think they are skeptical because they really just can't believe it. I know I am sometimes guilty of prefixing some kind of disclaimer to something I am floored (or skeptical) about.

[ChooseLiberty]

Yeah it's incredibly ironic that the yellow journalists and party shills on the MSM want to "confirm" the numbers.

If Ghouliani had done it they'd be reporting it as fact.

[freelance]

They then send they couldn't confirm the number".

How come they didn't have to "verify" the $$$ from the Oprah fundraiser for Obama?

[dude58677]

What is there to confirm? It is using an automated computer software that records the credit card donations online.

Youtube!
