Why is Ron Paul's head on Rachel Maddows show on MSNBC?

[OrbitzXT]

On MSNBC right now, an image of Ron Paul's head is just there on her show when they aren't cutting away to show something else. What's the deal with that?

[Draco33]

More important question. Why are you watching the Rachel Maddows show?
Are you being held hostage against your will? If so, stay calm help is on the way! ;)

[dbill27]

Ha I turned it on, I'm confused as well.

[mstrmac1]

Yeah what is this his picture has been up the whole show??

[OrbitzXT]

She's one of the most fair to Ron Paul I've heard on all the major networks. I don't mind her show too much.

[OrbitzXT]

Yes, it's been there the whole show when they don't cut away to something else. At the beginning she said something like "Oh look, it's Ron Paul's head!" and kind of pointed at it...but then didn't mention it again.

[Carehn]

so like is it the hole screen? How long has it been up. 10 minuets or so?

[Carehn]

I'm going to need a tube of this right away. I must study this new habit of the media.

[mstrmac1]

It's gonna be up the entire show. Strange?

[Ranger29860]

holy crap this is strange

[mwkaufman]

It's gonna be up the entire show. Strange?

Maybe she lost a bet?

[OrbitzXT]

She's been very fair to Ron Paul and talks about the media bias against him. Maybe this is some stunt to show Ron Paul is getting air time...kind of?

[dbill27]

Its still there and creeping me out

[rp2012win]

[1836]

LOL

I just turned it on and yes, it's there. Just out in space in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Theory: Maddow is using this to tease people into watching her show, attracting viewers via the Ron Paul magnet. Then at the end of the show she'll have some brief comment about Ron Paul.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

Oh how cute is that. It's just a little smiling RP floating head in the upper right. I love it!!!

Weird...?

Maybe she's going to interview him? I don't get it!

[Draco33]

Maybe, but I'll never forgive her for the way she treated Rand.
Thankfully he learned an important lesson from it, and is more prepared for the Jim Crow laws questions now.

LOL .. I just tuned in. I wonder if they are testing us?

[Karsten]

This sounds hillarious.

[dbill27]

Smart move if true

[Kords21]

Probably the strangest thing I'm seen with Paul and the media

[ronpaulfollower999]

This is awesome. The anti-Paul libs that watch her must be freaking out.

[kylejack]

Ron Paul didn't have an interview with Hannity...maybe he's snubbing him for Maddow and making a stab for those Independent voters who don't watch Fox News?

[OrbitzXT]

Is this even live? Or a rerun from earlier? She just said she's going to explain it shortly.

[nasaal]

They're making fun of all the talk about Ron Paul not getting enough coverage. It is a joke intended at the expense of people who complain about it.

[Constitutional Paulicy]

And they have the nerve to call Dr. Paul a kook. :rolleyes:

[dbill27]

Says she is about to explain it

[kylejack]

Maddows says she'll explaing shortly.

[Ranger29860]

she is going to explain it soon... lol great tactic

[1836]

She just said it would be explained shortly and pointed at it.

[Kords21]

The expalnation is coming up

[king_nothing_]

She just said she's going to explain shortly why his head is there.

[IterTemporis]

I think it's cute. It should be done for every RP Youtube video :p.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

she just said it will be explained shortly.

It was a ploy to get and keep people watching her show

[1836]

Holy shee, SIX responses to the same thing!

[Constitutional Paulicy]

[OrbitzXT]

She's going to explain "soon"...12:58 EST for a 10 second comment.

COMPENSATORY FACE TIME.

It's mentioned at the link.

[mwkaufman]

It's a rerun from 9pm, obviously a show running head to head against the debate was watched by just about no one.

Ah haha thank you!

[pauliticalfan]

She's gonna explain it. Really weird though LOL.

[Constitutional Paulicy]

Ah haha thank you!

Well someones paying attention. ;)

[Draco33]

COMPENSATORY FACE TIME.

It's mentioned at the link.

Actually made me laugh out loud. Wonder how many emails she got!

[Carehn]

This is an odd thing. I may need time to comprehend this new attack. or what ever it is.

[kylejack]

Hehe. I'm amused. Well played, Maddow.

[HigherVision]

Who cares what little stunts these socialist fucks have up their sleeves.

[Constitutional Paulicy]

Actually made me laugh out loud. Wonder how many emails she got!

At least she is acknowledging the media bias.

[Boss]

Maddow is the same one who tried to sink Paul in 07/08 over the newsletters and his civil rights vote.

Maddow is no friend of the RP campaign. She is merely a fellow enemy against neoconservatism. When RP receives the nomination, she will [again] become one of his staunchest detractors.

[SylvianDark]

MSNBC racial stories are nauseating. Someone let me know what the meaning of the symbol was.

[messana]

Certainly better than Fox News or CNN has been doing as of late.

[Carehn]

Ah haha thank you!

Holy Crap man... Im from Bend Oregon. You should PM me. I may know you. Lived there for 22 years or so. Live in idaho now. Hows my Pilot butte holding uplol. PM me.

[pauliticalfan]

Compensatory face time.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#46018700

She forgot Ron Paul's face on Friday, so this made up for it. LOL.

[nowwearefree]

Rachel Maddow is against Ron Paul on a lot of issues
Yet, i have to say, she is not bought like a lot of other in the MSM
I can tell she is genuine therefore i forgive her most of the time for her ignorance

She is actually more pro Ron Paul recently, if u follow the post debate, I am very certain she always has something nice or fair to say about Ron paul or the supporters
She is very aware of the fact of the media bias against us, and she tries to correct it

+Rep me for "best snapshot of suspended Dr. Paul head"

[Travlyr]

Lol.. omg... this is what we've come to? 2012 a "professional" national TV show "forgot" to include the number two GOP guy? Seriously? Forgot? What are they too drunk to double check who is running for president? Who is in charge some high school intern? LOL... finally we get entertainment from media. Total incompetence.

I'm loving this crash of media... crash and burn Rachael Maddow... crash and burn... LOL.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Maddow just pointed again and said she'll explain why Ron Pau;'s head is there after the commercial set.

[cheeseman]

Ha, good guy rachel maddow. forgot ron paul on friday. compensatory face time. Good stuff.

[HigherVision]

I'm sorry but I think that Rachel Maddow and pretty much everyone on MSNBC are disgusting regardless if they say something nice about Paul from time to time.

[Mr. Rapp]

Why is a professional news show, running stunts like that?

[Carehn]

she best explain soon

[Xenophage]

funny

+Rep me for "best snapshot of suspended Dr. Paul head"
+ Rep for sure Tyler

That's Epic.

[Mckarnin]

Looks like they left Ron Paul's head out of a graphic with the candidate's heads in front of south carolina so this head time is making up for it.

[1836]

I'm sure Maddow's handful of viewers did not care either way whether Ron was included.

[JK/SEA]

Its telling his supporters he's getting media coverage now.

[Student Of Paulism]

Umm so what was the reason?

"You got a purdy mouth, now lean forward for me"

and since you asked nice and said please... here's your + rep.

[tmg19103]

Still say she's doing it for the ratings. Probably forgot to include him in the previous show with the other candidates on purpose so she could do this for the ratings. RP rules on ratings.

[thoughtomator]

tweet her @maddow and say something nice

[KingRobbStark]

What up wid dat?

[idiom]

I laughed.

[Travlyr]

Media is desperate for ratings! :)

[Imaginos]

She's one of the most fair to Ron Paul I've heard on all the major networks. I don't mind her show too much.
Huh?
She always describes Dr. Paul as an Isolationist.
She attacked Dr. Paul's integrity on the news letter issue only weeks ago.
In case you still have not figured, Maddow seems ok person (for the standard of MSNBC which is not so much) until somebody says cutting foreign aid.
She doesn't care about others live or die but she does care a lot about whether Israel gets aid other not.
She's one of those 'chosen' dual-citizenship pundits who puts Israel's interest ahead of ours.

[AlexMerced]

This was pretty funny, like most of Maddows show which is really well done.

While I disagree with Maddow Vehemently on most issues, she still has one of the most well researched and entertaining shows on any of the news channels. She's usually pretty good at getting the facts right, and articulating the progressive position, she just often does the two as if they are the same thing.

Can't hate her for having a good show... though I do still still resent that Rand Paul interview, although looking back Rand could've given a better answer and moved on.

[Revolution9]

Ha I turned it on, I'm confused as well.

Turn it off and coherence with reality will resume.

It looks like he is enamored of the spiritual vision of Ron Paul that has appeared in front of him.
