hah. doesnt surprise me,hes really working hard to switch his base voters so he doesnt have to worry about these kind of questions anymore.

[Feeding the Abscess]

Should have asked the last questions first and stuck with them if they wanted hard hitting questions, rather than asking Bilderburg BS.

[CaptainAmerica]

Should have asked the last questions first and stuck with them if they wanted hard hitting questions, rather than asking Bilderburg BS. yeah, I really don't care about the bilderburg questions but the questions about the drone bill and mitt romney endorsement are valid questions.

Rand Paul shows what he is made of

Yeah, he sure does.




How a true Libertarian (and southern gentleman) deals with an idiot.

The gentleman and lady reporter handled that idiot very nicely. :D

[LibertyEagle]

Ugh. He's gone on multiple interviews and answered the questions over and over again. By this time, I would imagine that everyone has either decided to believe him, or not. Why keep asking him the same questions and acting like he wouldn't answer?

[LibertyEagle]

Yeah, he sure does.

The gentleman and lady reporter handled that idiot very nicely. :D

Wow.

[Sola_Fide]

This is so dumb.

[green73]

It's hard to believe he is his father's son sometimes. Ron would never blow people off like that.

[July]

Ugh, this is like something the MSM would do.

[Kirdneh]

I just cannot support the Pauls anymore.

I understand that it's a bit offensive to do an 'interview' like that. But it would have been adequate if Rand had reacted like : 'Ok. Let's meet there and then and I'll answer your questions.' But to just ignore this guy and act like he didn't exist seems quite bad. By the way it just gets worse as this guy keeps following him and we're getting this scene for 5 minutes. Rand should know how the Liberty movement works the Internet and things like that will go viral fast.

Very sad!

[Adrock]

At the beginning of the video he told the guy to set up an appointment. This guy sounds like a tool.

[Aratus]

stuttering john did impact an election when with howard stern's approval
he crashed jennifer flowers's press conference. in ambush journalism the
poor target is damned either way, for a quick quip has legs but silence is
deadening and like lead. this was not a press conference, it was a fishing
expedition that feels raw and amature video. mitt romney has even replied
to the "bilderburg sighting" story with a denial, a neutral answer from rand
would be that mitt has done a denial & he is either lying or truthful about it.

[John F Kennedy III]

Too bad they don't actually meet to build burgers.

[Aratus]

mitt denied being at the thing someone thinks they spotted him at.
mitt has been asked this question directly. poor rand should repeat
mitt's denial and then toss it back to the questioner if mitt has lied
to people or not. we know rand was not at that conference. this is
a given and a total honest factoid. mitt's travels are mitt's travels.

[TheGrinch]

Too bad they don't actually meet to build burgers.

They do. They crap out McDonalds pretty much everywhere they go. Go globalism!!

His aide told him that Rand had just gotten out of a meeting and she was trying to brief him. Apparently, before his next meeting. So, Rand asked Luke to call his office, make an appointment and that they would talk about it then.

But, Luke kept on going.

Why on earth would you be mad at Rand about that?

[NoOneButPaul]

1) This was garbage, he's answered all these questions before so what else was he going to say? "Oh the people want answers" The people already got answers to these questions THESE people just want to keep asking them until they get a different answer. He said call the office anyway at the start...

2) Rand's response to the entire thing was just as garbage, you can tell he's sick of being asked about it but HELLO what the fuck else did you expect Rand? A simple 30 second soundbite would have stopped the guy from following you for 5min.

I understand his argument... if I do it for him I gotta do it for everyone and then I can't get anywhere... but GODDAMN it's not hard to give a simple answer. Especially one you've already given...

[Crotale]

Ugh. He's gone on multiple interviews and answered the questions over and over again. By this time, I would imagine that everyone has either decided to believe him, or not. Why keep asking him the same questions and acting like he wouldn't answer?

Actually, I've watched most of Rand's interviews and I can recall the interviewer asking those questions. Could you please point me in the direction of an interview where Rand answers the same questions asked in that video.

The "interviewers" were less genuine than the Daily Caller people that were "just asking questions" to Alex Jones. How come no one applies the same standard to Alex Jones' treatment of The Daily Caller? http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/01/bilderberg-bonanza-alex-jones-dances-around-thedcs-questions-video/

[silverhandorder]

The only question Luke asked was why Rand endorsed Romney. The whole build a burger crap that he was spouting is irrelevant.

These people are their worst enemy.

[Aratus]

simple answer... 2016 looms

[RP Supporter]

Well if you want to make sure Rand does decide to screw it and "sell out", being overly belligerent towards him is a great way to accomplish that.

[Southerner]

as someone said in the other thread that contains this video...

"say what you want but this is real journalism, you won't see this on fox, cnn, msnbc, abc. It's really painful to watch Rand dodge this interview."

This is NOT "real journalism", it is what they called it, a "confrontation". Ambush interviews are not journalism. Kids with cameras are NOT journalists. Its one thing to approach an elected official and politely ASK them if they could spare a minute from their INCREDIBLY busy schedules to answer a couple of questions for your little corner of the web hobby, its another to act like you are Walter Friigin Conkrite, and AMERICA will be LIVID if they don't stop whatever they are doing and submit to your verbal hijinks.

[ProIndividual]

Last I checked, libertarians generally believe anyone with a cell phone camera and something to document worth recording is a journalist. Hence recording cops on the job is protected by the first Amendment like all other forms of journalism. I think it's largely the statist position that such cell phone journalists are not be given these same protections because they don't have a journalism degree and haven't properly swung from the balls of the right politicians yet.

What these guys did was journalism, albeit the early questions were conspiratorial goofball questions. The latter questions were better and more important.

[Rudeman]

He told him at the beginning he was busy yet the guy kept pestering him. That is not real journalism especially at the end when they get all excited over nothing. Rand is not ducking the media, he's done several interviews with several Paul friendlies.

And yes he could have answered a question but then the guy would have asked another and another so ignoring him seemed like the best way to go when he had other things to do.

[Southerner]

What these guys did was HARASSMENT!!! If they had stood back 10 feet and filmed the 6 minute walk, they would have been within their rights, as is any citizen filming the police.

[rich34]

I find this disturbing, really not sure when will be the next time I donate to a political candidate...

Rand Paul is made of good manners?

[RonPaulFanInGA]

It's hard to believe he is his father's son sometimes. Ron would never blow people off like that.

How about when Ron Paul blew off that reporter in Iowa:


http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2011/12/29/dont-bother-ron-paul-while-he-eats-breakfast/

Asked if he‘s concerned that if he doesn’t win his followers will not rally behind the GOP nominee, he looks up from his plate of cantaloupe, honeydew, eggs, sausage and biscuit and says brusquely, “Right now, the only thing that bothers me is people who don‘t respect my privacy enough to leave me alone for five minutes when I’m eating breakfast.” And then he goes back to reading his USA Today.

Or how about when Paul stormed out of that CNN interview: http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2011/12/21/ron-paul-storms-out-of-cnn-interview.html Or the multiple blow-offs of interview requests from O'Reilly?

Rand Paul reacted the way most people would when they have a camera shoved into their face unwillingly: ignore it.

Just joined and now "can't support the Paul's anymore".

Yeah I'm sure dude.

Thanks RPFIG!

AWESOME!

ETA: "Or the multiple blow-offs of interview requests from O'Reilly?" The most watched "cable news show, 12 years running" (Somebody get me a sick bag)

[William R]

It's hard to believe he is his father's son sometimes. Ron would never blow people off like that.

That's a big problem with Ron. He doesn't blow idiots like that off. The very fact that Ron goes on the Alex Jones show shows he was never really serious about winning the GOP nomination.

[Libertea Party]

How a true Libertarian (and southern gentleman) deals with an idiot.

In other words Liberty Defender Rand Paul has 99 problems...

Yep. Rand has it figured out.

Rand's been on Alex Jones as recently as a couple months ago, if I recall correctly.

[Aratus]

lets run alex jones for potus especially if we must litmus test all the major contenders

[Tod]

It's hard to believe he is his father's son sometimes. Ron would never blow people off like that.

Actually, there is a similar video where someone is asking Ron some dumb questions about his health insurance and retirement arrangement while walking outside and when Ron heard enough of what the guy was saying he pretty much just blew the guy off just like Rand did in the above video. What else can you do when someone is just playing "gotcha"? Wish I could find it.

From what I remember from that video, Ron answered the question.
