Will tommorow. Nearly bed time here in Australia.

I've got the source videos on my HDD. They were all online already though.

[Sunstruck-Eden]

I started cracking up when Celine Dion's "New Day" came on. That was very appropriate :D

Amazing vid!

Dude, you should be paid for maintaining your youtube page. Awesome job.

I can make the videos, but I can't spread them.

That's what I need you guys for. I'm not on any social networking etc.

[TulsaRevolution]

Im pissed after watching that

[Emerick]

This needs to go viral!

[AZKing]

Great vid, but a shorter one could be good.

[LibertyEagle]

Amazing video. Yes, please make a shorter one. You know people and their attention spans. :(

[Joe3113]

Does anybody have any preferences about which clips should stay in for the shorter version?

Also how long it should be (I suppose it should be under 1min)?

[LibertyEagle]

I don't think it has to be that short, Joe. Just not 4 minutes. Any that you can cut it down would be helpful in getting others (the non-RP faithful) to watch it.

[blabam]

Is this on reddit?

[JuicyG]

Great job!

[AZKing]

IMHO, I would cut the 2008 comparisons down to the first 33 seconds, then add the Obama clip where he talks about influence, and maybe the Chris Matthews one where Obama has won.

The rest of the 2012 ones are good to keep. Maybe less Maddow. More focus on the clips that actually mention Paul (ie the last one could probably be put in place of a Maddow one).

[Emerick]

I think there is too much of Rachel Maddow. We don't have to prove the point over and over again. Just show the diversity of the attack, to prove how the WHOLE establishment is scared to death of Ron Paul. I think there's too much of Obama and Huckabee. Again, just prove your point by quoting those same media guys that now are saying Iowa doesn't mean anything.

And I would start with a question: "Do you think the media establishment should decide who is should be the president for you?". And then put the videos.

I would also put a quote while playing some clip saying: "So, if you don't vote for their candidate, then your vote doesn't matter at all?".

And I would end with this: "It's time to say: enough is enough! 'Truth is treason in an Empire of lies' - Ron Paul"

[hazek]

Corporate media propaganda machine at it's finest. :rolleyes:

[Joe3113]

smaller version rendering now. got it down to about 1:35

[stang56k]

This video pissed me off like no other...

+rep! I also have posted this on my social networks.

[gjdavis60]

Great job. Spread this around!

[Agorism]

LOL

I wish more of the "journalists" would see this video

[Joe3113]

I added a significantly shorter version in the OP.

[RonRules]

This is an extremely important video. Use the shorter version (#2) and broadcast this everywhere.

The MSM's hypocrisy is so clear.

[IDefendThePlatform]

Great video, I'd prob use a different title though. I feel dirty tweeting Iowa doesn't matter.

[Joe3113]

What then?

[Hook]

Make sure to send this to Jon Stewart. He will probably make his own version after Iowa.

[KramerDSP]

I love this!!!!! Spread this viral around the world!!!

[KramerDSP]

BUMP! This video MUST go viral around the world. We the People must be awoken to the sham that is the Old Media.

I'm not a good video spreader. That's what I really need you folks for.

[ropo]

The second half of that video needs a laugh track

As long as this stays on the front pahe, it eventually goes viral. But you may want to post it on DailyPaul too. Brilliant job. I did rip it to add captions on my channel (see my sig) but gave you full credit.

[Fredom101]

Obama looks 10 years younger in that vid!

[Emerick]

Again, I think the first part is too long. Don't put so much of Huckabee. After all, he LOST the nomination. So, just point out how the media felt it was important, how he did it too and how Obama also thought the exact same thing. You don't need to focus on someone who won Iowa and lost the nomination.

[muh_roads]

Send this to Jon Stewart. Tweet that shit or whatever it is u guys do.

Huckabee won several states and got something like 3 million votes.

They are not treating Ron Paul like someone who can make that happen.

My point is, they made a stink about Huckabee, who was doing worse than RP in NH.

I know. I'm not saying to get ALL of Huckabee off. No, I'm saying it can be shortened a bit. We must realize this: if we can deliver the same message with the same powerfullness, it's better to do it as short as possible, because some people will just not see it. Even if it's a 2 minutes thing, if we can reduce it to 1 minute it's better, of course, as long as we can mantain the same effectiveness in making our point.

That's why I'm saying. Maybe try to reduce it and let people see it - if it's not much trouble, of course. Again, I congratulate you for your job, which is AWESOME.

You have a point yeah, but again, Huckabee won several states. My point is more that if Huckabee was given a chance and media coverage, Ron Paul also deserves it.

Maybe I'll make one without Huckabee. In fact I will now.

I think it would be better to have just a very little bit of Huckabee, so people remember of that, but just don't put it a lot. Maybe give him at most 3 seconds. It would be enough.

Just one more suggestion: try to put some coverage from 2012 saying how Iowa is crucial before Ron took the lead. It would make the point more forcefully.

If the media made half a deal about Ron Paul in Iowa as they did with Huckabee we would have this nomination in the bag.

Instead its constant ignoring of him, hit pieces, propaganda, etc

new 1min flat version being upped now.

[Joe3113]

There are now 3 versions. 1:00, 1:40 and 4:00+

They are listed in that order in the OP.

[UtahApocalypse]

any way to get a side by side version such as a clip of a pundit saying how important Iowa was in 2007, then followed immediately by there statements recently? Showing a Direct change focused on a single person ala "flip flop" would be more powerful I think.

[KramerDSP]

BUMP .... and OP has made three videos. I think we should just spread them instead of asking him make a fourth version! :D

Maddow was having an orgasm over Obama in 2008 when he won iowa. I might do one with her.

No doubt the videos are out there. If anyone finds them let me know.

[Emerick]

I think everybody should spread this. Let's face it, we are running against ALL the bipartisan media, against BOTH parties, against right and left. Media and parties credibility are in a great low. We must show everybody this. Once we prove how biased against Ron Paul they are, then we will eventually win the battle against them. Otherwise, if let them make up any nonsensical narrative they want, we won't be in good shape soon, because it's hard to maintain the high support when your candidate is bashed from all sides, when people think Ron's supporter is crazy etc.

This is all about social engineering. They know that if they push a series of lies, people will buy the crap eventually. So, we must fight back exposing them.

Which version of the 3 do you like the most??

[Cleaner44]

We need some stats to go with this. What is it, like 68% of the time the winner of Iowa wins the nomination? How many of the last presidents won Iowa?

[georgiaboy]

nice job

[KramerDSP]

Doug Wead said the last two Presidents, Barack Obama and Bush 43, won the Iowa caucuses, failed to win in New Hampshire, and went on to win the Presidency. That's our meme if we finish a close second in NH.

George Walker Bush - won Iowa, 2nd in NH, won the Presidency
Barack Obama - won Iowa, 2nd in NH, won the Presidency

Personally I like long versions that comprehensively prove the point.

Short versions are better for the general populous though. People don't have the time or attention span.

[Joe3113]

The vids made the front page of the Daily Paul. Thanks folks.

brilliant video !!
i think i remember somebody pushed this idea sometime back, and man you did a good job of putting it together.
