[literatim]

YouTube or it didn't happen.

[Bradley in DC]

They talked about the impressive amount of money he's raised, how in some states we'll be spending as much as Rudy, and have more money than most candidates, etc.

They mentioned a university forum where half of the questions were from Ron Paul supporters, how in NH you see more Ron Paul signs than those for anyone else.

They mentioned our enthusiasm.

The question is "From whom would Dr. Paul canabalize support from other candidates?"

[kylejack]

They talked about the impressive amount of money he's raised, how in some states we'll be spending as much as Rudy, and have more money than most candidates, etc.
As much as? How about 'way more than'. We had ads running before Rudy and he's still run 0 ads in Iowa.

[Adamsa]

Rudy is running a risky campaign by giving up Iowa.

[speciallyblend]

This Week comes on in 13 minutes here in Houston. Looking forward to it.

so can you you tube it? or know someone?

THIS IS GOING TO MAKE YOU SMILE,they are talking RON PAUL BABY,keep up all the great work folks,we are a majority,they will continue to talk Ron Paul,since AMERICANS WANT RON PAULS MESSAGE,they will report;)

i got to excited to even clarify what was just said:)

I CANT WAIT FOR OUR HUGE STACK OF USA TODAYS(at our hotel),im gonna open everyone of them to the Ron Paul Ad ,and place them on all the breakfast tables and the occupied rooms. also anyone that works at hotels should be able to double your orders for the papers, just make sure you pay the boss for the extra papers;) calling the other hotel i sometimes work at,to double there orders.

CALL ALL HOTELS TO ASK THEM TO DOUBLE THERE ORDERS(especially if you work at the hotels) let them know you will help pay for the extras;) better deal in bulk thru hotels,so call your front desk friends/housekeeping friends/night auditors and managers and get them doubling/tripling there orders of the usa today nov 21st edition;)

Here's the most recent podcast (audio)

is it from today? Anyone?

http://a.media.abcnews.com/podcasts/071111tw_pre.mp3

[Wayne Hammond]

You can't ask for any more positive coverage from MSM that what I just heard on ABC's This Week. Sounded to me like both Jake Tapper and George Will are gonna vote for Ron Paul.

George Will is the one who brought up Dr. Paul by saying something like, "we need to consider my man, Ron Paul".

I was surprised at this part of the discussion, because George Snufalupogus seems like he's pretty anti-Ron right now.

Pretty good publicity altogether, I thought. That kind of exposure is worth about a million bucks in advertising dollars.

Thanks Mastiff. What happened to the once dependable brigade of You Tubers out there? We need to get good press like this spread around the Net.

Scroll down and click on Green Room:My Man Ron Paul

[adwads]

Yeah, that was freakin' Stephanopolous or whatever! What an a-hole, telling Ron Paul to his face that he isn't going to win. How does Snufalufogous know the future? Jerk.

[ConstitutionGal]

I don't think I'll start jumping up and down just yet:

"The crazy uncle at the Thanksgiving table talking about the gold standard"..

"Robert Taft isolationist"....

ABC STILL makes me want to retch and I'm sorry I gave them a site visit to see it...

[adwads]

"We're not ALLOWED to talk about the MINOR candidates." Did you guys pick up on that? Just more proof that the powers that be TELL the pundits what they can and can't say.

In all fairness, that was the "Green Room" (posted online) discussion. The ABC This Week coverage (TV) was pretty positive.

.

[deedles]

I thought that sucked. Called him the crazy uncle at the table and an isolationist. Also wondered what he would do after the election (because the unspoken message is 'he won't win'). Will said he was just joking about calling him 'my man'. Tried to make him sound totally irrelevant if a bit interesting.

The best, most telling part was the guy that said "we can't talk about the second tier candidates..."

[adwads]

In all fairness, that was the "Green Room" (posted online) discussion. The ABC This Week coverage (TV) was pretty positive.

.

Wait, if that's just the green room, where is the orignal tv show?

[MozoVote]

The comments about "missing Gravel" were kinda funny. They're admitting he had spiced up the earlier Dem debates.

[speciallyblend]

This week abc not the green room,
a you tube video will come soon im sure,i hope

[deedles]

It seems that all msm 'reporters' or whatever they call themselves are so unbelieveably pretentious. Smug and pretentious. I'm sick of them all, personally. Okay, maybe not Lou Dobbs completely but still...

[ConstitutionGal]

Oh! My bad....I haven't seen the segment you're referencing.....

..what??? STILL no YouTube? Some folks must still be sleeping!

[Wayne Hammond]

Yeah, the "Green Room" stuff is a weekly online continuation of the discussion, after the main Television show. The main TV show gets a heck of a lot more viewers than the online Green Room discussion - and the TV stuff was quite positive.

I think we'll have to wait until that main TV show gets "YouTubed" to view it.

[Ethek]

Did they remove the link or rename it. I swear I saw it a couple of minutes ago.

"We're not ALLOWED to talk about the MINOR candidates." Did you guys pick up on that? Just more proof that the powers that be TELL the pundits what they can and can't say.

translation: the media moguls DECIDE who the "top tier" are...the mouthpieces are instructed to talk them up...the "polls" refelect the media hype...and then the media justifies not talking about "second tier" because the polls show them lagging!!!!

and finally...that idiot co-worker of yours tells you..."RP has no chance"....but the sheep never pause to ask themselves WHY he has "no chance"

orwellian stuff

[Elijah]

Is this it?

Negative, Ghost Rider. It was a roundtable discussion. Your video is from 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Edit: I was wrong, that's the green room video from today's show. Still, though, the roundtable discussion should be posted soon. The green room videos are internet only.

[speciallyblend]

I know I know. And just think about how much Fred Thompson was a candidate created by the media! All of a sudden, Thompson is considered a first tier candidate and gets all this news coverage.

The same is true of Obama, whose candidacy was basically created by Oprah...

sickening

[Ozwest]

Been a lot of that lately. I have a television, but it doesn't help me out in Australia. I'm sure other overseas Ron Paul fans are dissapointed also.

[kylejack]

I can't agree with you there. Obama has been a star since he hit the national scene, long before Oprah.

[Ack]

Here's the audio of today's show: http://a.media.abcnews.com/podcasts/071118tw_pre.mp3

They start talking about Ron Paul during the roundtable part, around 3/4 of the way through the show and it's mostly VERY positive! Then they move on to other things for a few minutes, then someone brings up Dr. Paul again. Stephanopoulos quickly interrupts and steers the conversation around the Baseball.

[michaelwise]

"We're not ALLOWED to talk about the MINOR candidates." Did you guys pick up on that? Just more proof that the powers that be TELL the pundits what they can and can't say.I, for my entire life did not watch the political news because they only talk abut the major candidates. It's like a broken record being played over and over again. Boring! The outline of the script never changes, only minor details. You'd think they would want to throw in someone like Ron Paul for a change in order to increase viewer interest.

[jenius]

Negative, Ghost Rider. It was a roundtable discussion. Your video is from 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Edit: I was wrong, that's the green room video from today's show. Still, though, the roundtable discussion should be posted soon. The green room videos are internet only.

I believe the phrase is "Negative, Ghost Writer," not Ghost Rider. :D

[adwads]

I can't agree with you there. Obama has been a star since he hit the national scene, long before Oprah.

But only 2 years in the Senate and now he's considered a viable presidential candidate? When Ron Paul has 20 years in Congress?

See, why is Obama even considered a "star" in the first place? It's still all just a media creation.

[MS0453]

I can't agree with you there. Obama has been a star since he hit the national scene, long before Oprah.

True, but created by the media none-the-less. They made a big deal out of him when he gave a speech at the Dem Convention in 04.

[kylejack]

I believe the phrase is "Negative, Ghost Writer," not Ghost Rider. :D

I believe you are wrong, and I sentence you to watch Top Gun and learn that Maverick's plane was named Ghost Rider. Sentence to be carried out immediately. Bailiff, take him away.

[Pauliana]

They think RP supporters are simply angry. And have no idea what his stances are. They think its ridiculous to think that ordinary people understand or care about the Federal Reserve.

Oh re-he-heally? Is THAT why the gold-based barter system created a coin with RP's image on it?

We're angry, but largely ignorant. riiight

They're paying a little more attention, but they have a ways to go.

[adwads]

They don't take Paul's campaign seriously yet. Paul's fundraising success doesn't fit into their paradigm. They are going to be SHOCKED on Dec. 16 and at the NH primary.

[AdoubleR]

Youtube!

[DjLoTi]

Still no youtube?

[Andrew76]

I'm sorry, but the audio version of this (if that's what that earlier link truly was), is not positive for Ron Paul. At the very end of this pro Fred Thompson audio peice, the commentors gather around and eventually George Will says smugly, "Wait, what about my man, Ron Paul?" Everyone else, "Bwahhaahah! <chortle, chuckle, chuckle,>" Then they proceed to give a mostly surface analogy of his campaign in NH, and "who Ron Paul is going to cannabalize." They discuss him only as an affect on the NH primaries, but completely dismiss his campaign as legitimate in any way. Same old, M'effin' SAME old. Someone brings up Ron Paul as, "the only honest, straight taking candidate out there," and then Snuffalupagous *instantly* changes the topic to baseball! End of story. OH, and then some uninformed woman says something to the effect of, "Yeah, and Ron Paul has even begun to distribute coins with his image on it as an alternative currency." ......... IDIOTS.

I can tell you, even if Ron Paul wins New Hampshire, he will continue to be discounted by the MSM, as he has been. They will find a way to minimalize his win, as they have minimalized his winning thus far. We can't let it bring us down. These people no longer matter, and we're living in the last days of major MSM influence.

[kylejack]

Yes, that audio is the correct piece. I didn't think it was so bad, and kudos to George Will for throwing that bomb.

[speciallyblend]

if george hadnt spoke up,probably wouldnt of been any mention of ron paul,though i truly believe everything is somewhat scripted,so maybe it was no surprise;)

[llepard]

Negative, Ghost Rider. It was a roundtable discussion. Your video is from 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Goose, talk to me goose, ............you there?

Actually.. the originator.. I think.. is described here:

"(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend"

is a country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_music) and cowboy-style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_%28genre%29) song.

It was written on June 5, 1948 by Stan Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Jones_%28songwriter%29).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riders_in_the_Sky:_A_Cowboy_Legend



What I remember it from, from my teenage years, is a song by "The Outlaws"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFjqlx8eSfQ



And Johnny Cash did a version too:

None of that has anything to do with the phrase "Negative, Ghost Rider", which is a Top Gun reference. Yes, I've heard Ghost Riders In The Sky many times.

[Buggan]

Never mind :/

[jenius]

I believe you are wrong, and I sentence you to watch Top Gun and learn that Maverick's plane was named Ghost Rider. Sentence to be carried out immediately. Bailiff, take him away.

LOL. They used that phrase in the old PBS show, "Ghost Writer," so I assumed it was originally from that. But you're probably right that it's from Top Gun originally.

Ahh.. I see.. I get cha now..

and posting again.. gives me the opportunity to respond to
what I just saw the young guy in the green room say.. like..

"What will he (RP) do after next November?"


my response to him:

"I don't know dude.. like.. maybe.. run the country as President? Duh..."

Oh man, I used to watch that show when I was little. It was pretty lame but I kept watching it. Kind of like MSM.

[MozoVote]

OK, I just listend to the audio. Despite the smirking and chuckling, you can tell a quiet admission from those commentators.


That Ron Paul is affecting the race in NH
He has the most vocal and visible supporters
His signs are everywhere
He's the most straight-talking and honest campaigner


All in all, not that bad a coverage, I think.

[Mastiff]

I have the show in a .tivo file on my PC. Can anyone tell me how to get it into a format for youtube? PM me if you want to help.

I didn't find it super positive, they still kind of dismissed his chances. LSU got much more psotive coverage.

Are you kidding me, this was awesome coverage. Most support, straight talker, lots of money. What is not to like?

[stewie3128]

Well, Donna Brasile (that evil, racist, socialist bitch - showed her true colors in 1996) saying that RP is printing up his own alternative currency at the very end there is pretty deft... connecting him to the FBI raid earlier this week. Could make him look really bad to any surface-level news follower.

[Lois]

That was great! I love the way Stephanopologus admitted he's doing well!! Said he could upset Giuliani! And then that one guy steered the conversation right back to Ron Paul, and everyone discussed him all over again - that was great! Ron Paul is such an exciting Candidate!

Thanks for the YouTube :D

I don't think people would have really got the reference? I think her intent was bad, but I think the actual comment was pretty obtuse... a person who hadn't heard much about Ron Paul, I think, would probably not understand that comment and not pay attention--or think it's something to do with the gold standard?

I hope..

[Flirple]

Are you kidding me, this was awesome coverage. Most support, straight talker, lots of money. What is not to like?

Yes it was fantastic. I urge my fellow RP supporters to keep in mind that none of the other candidates get 100% positive coverage. The reason they poll so high is because they have good name recognition because the media is always talking about them. Despite the fact that most of what they say about them is critical.

We need to learn to enjoy it when we get decent coverage. What is most significant is that we are starting to become part of the conversation of these shows. This tells people that Ron Paul isn't a waisted vote and it is ok to start to consider voting for him because there are lots of other people who are going to vote for him.

What a welcome break from all the smears and hit pieces from the last week!

None of that has anything to do with the phrase "Negative, Ghost Rider", which is a Top Gun reference. Yes, I've heard Ghost Riders In The Sky many times.

It is most definately a quote from Top Gun. Tom Cruise's character asks to do a flyby and he is told "negative ghost rider, the patern is full", or something like that ;)
