great segment. Swann really gets to the heart of the matter. That question did reek of BS. Great that he has 10k likes on facebook now =)

Was that real reporting? Geesh, a segment that was actually researched and asked probing questions. Just give me my infotainment cuz they don't say 'ignorance is bliss' for nothin'.

"under the patriot act that isn't entrapment. It's the 'war on terror'"

Great quote.

And the Fort Hood shooting has been classified as "work place violence" not an act of terror. Why? Because it was a successful act that was NOT stopped by the Patriot Act. So let's just rename it.

Solid reporting. I still know that people will always think shit like "Well if it stops just one terrorist attack then it'll be worth it".

Yeah, wasn't that clever? Strictly speaking, it was workplace violence, as it occurred at a workplace (as do most terrorist attacks).

Wow! This is the second pro Ron Paul segment I've seen from this guy. Is he generally this good? And how can we boost his career?

The fact that Ron Paul was the only candidate against the unconstitutional act (ya know, the constitution, the thing that BUILT this country) should be more than enough for anyone willing to do the homework to vote for Ron Paul. Logically it's hard for me to fathom Ron Paul having anything less than 95% of the votes.
