[Unofficial] CNN YouTube Debate Thread

[Brasil Branco]

Thought we might need one! At least for half an hour during the predebate show...

A link that is working for me: mms://cnn-cnnlive-1-primary.wm.llnwd.net/cnn_cnnlive_1_primary

Post in WinAmp, Windows Media Player, etc.

So far, the coverage hasn't been promising.

[Dary]

I'm here at the Palladium. People browsing around in the lobby. Everybody has their Ron Paul gear on. No metal detectors or TSA at the door. Light security. This is a free speech zone.

[margomaps]

The pre-debate coverage is absolutely pathetic. I admit I'm not easily impressed, but these internet anchors for CNN are pretty dim bulbs.

I gave up on TV years ago...and now I remember why. These talking heads on TV are not only idiots, but they're pushing their petty views on their viewers -- and doubtless a majority of their viewers eat it up. Gross. :(

[Dary]

I'll post more later. I need to recharge the notebook battery.

It's typical garbage. I killed my TV years ago too. Watching the stream.

[margomaps]

It's typical garbage. I killed my TV years ago too. Watching the stream.

The more people I hear that have given up TV, the more my outlook on the future of our country improves. Thank you. :)

[Dorfsmith]

Sure :D

Hey, they're talking Ron Paul now :cool:

[nist7]

w00t! They are discussing Ron Paul right now

[rodent]

That piece on RP was very good.

[rodent]

It's typical garbage. I killed my TV years ago too. Watching the stream.

They're dim, but Melissa Long is pretty I think.

[nist7]

sweet! streaming show will NOT have any ads during breaks!!!!

[Dorfsmith]

Ron Paul could hit a home run on every one of those sample questions they just talked about. Let's hope they use those or questions like them.

[ronpaulitician]

ronpaulforums and teaparty07 are both working for me now :)

[braeden0613]

I agree... let those morons talk. Rudy got booed!

[margomaps]

Wow it's the rudy and romney debate!!!!

YES, Giuliani's being booed. :)

[ronpaulitician]

Disadvantage Giuliani.

[DJ RP]

I think romney and rudy just looked like idiots to the world.

[Ron LOL]

Anderson Cooper needs to grow a pair, or this debate is going to really suck.

However, I'm reminded of an SNL skit bashing Gore...

:)

[hasan]

thompsons lips look like hes been sucking on a lollipop

[Jon S]

... i have a feeling this debate will be the same as th rest

[StateofTrance]

Thompson is drunk lol

[walt]

YES, Giuliani's being booed. :)

[u2canbfmj]

[hasan]

[Ron LOL]

This squabbling is awesome We're just 20 minutes in, and they're already down eachother's throats.

Ron Paul is the only one who's above this BS. Same platform for 30 years. Suck it, bitches.

[smatts]

yawn

[Ncturnal]

Broken record Rudy, but that's normal.

911, 911, 911, terror, terror, terror, 3 exceptions, 3 exceptions, blah, blah, blah

[deedles]

ooohh... crowd is ugly.. I like it. Maybe the crowd will be the moderator?

[ronpaulitician]

Sanctuary! Sanctuary!

*ding*dong*

[freelance]

Is it just me, or does Giuliani look like the Picture of Dorian Gray?

[speciallyblend]

When Ron Paul speaks ,its gonna be like finally someone that makes sense;)


mccain sounds like charlie browns grandma wa waaaa waaa

[smatts]

does anyone else feel like mccain is talking really slowly wow speed 'er up

[StateofTrance]

zzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz who wants to hear his story?

[braeden0613]

its funny how every person up there has skeletons in their closets that any fool could see except for RP

[badbrad]

Stop the world, I want to get off.

[Ncturnal]

They need to learn to tell time.

[paulitics]

McCain got bood when he said the amnesty bill was not amnesty.

[rodent]

It's ridiculous that they aren't letting Tancredo speak.

[margomaps]

OMG, 20+ minutes into the debate, and we've made it through 2 questions. Wow.

[margomaps]

Tancredo probably just had the line of the night.

[Ron LOL]

"Out-Tancredo Tancredo." Quote of the night.

[paulitics]

This guy with the cowboy hat that asked the question did several videos bashing Paul.

[speciallyblend]

ooo brother he just killed himself,it was pretty obvious what the question was,sigh tancredo

[hasan]

wrong answer tancredo. legal immigration is after all legal and should be allowed. i can' believe ppl are clapping for him

[hasan]

once again ron paul is not even asked to respond yet. ftw?

[BrianH]

just came in --- did anyone get any news what happened to the Florida Straw Poll?

[Sandra]

Do you think when he warned the crowd not to be rowdy, he was talking about our boy's crowd?

[Ron LOL]

Did they just bleep Hunter?

[Magsec]

Did they just censor Hunter for saying "damn"? It's like he was about to say "damn good one" referring to the fence he made.

[rfbz]

Last candidate to speak? Ron Paul

[foofighter20x]

"I built the fence!" :p

[margomaps]

I hope Huckabee gets burned on this illegal immigrant question.

[jufreese]

i guess no one sent in a ? for RP

[u2canbfmj]

When the dollar falls below the peso, they will return to mexico for higher wages.. end of issue and debate.

[badbrad]

We send in 4990 videos and they haven't played one yet.

[speciallyblend]

huckabee sayiing he didnt,but saying in the next twisted sentence that he really is,omg i cant take it

[deedles]

Wouldn't the huckster be good selling oxyclean or something?

[braeden0613]

he just admitted to supporting a form of amnesty...good question

[hasan]

there was at least one for RP. iv seen it but they havent brought it up here

[drain]

nice back to romney lol

[margomaps]

Paul still not asked a question. Everyone else has so far, some multiple times.

[ape]

this is horrible. Ron paul's campaign is much larger and growing much faster than everyone else yet he isn't even aked a question.

[walt]

who is this idiot moderator?

[deedles]

thank god huckabee got an education

[Ron LOL]

I like that Romney just slugged the Huckster.

[braeden0613]

this has been a great night for romney..but give ron a question!

[beobeli]

Mitt to Huck: "Huck, that's not your money. It's taxpayer's money" -- best quote so far.

[castor]

I really dont like this graph monitoring the approval of the audience. Its just another possible way for them to misrepresent the views of americans. Who are these people in the audience?

[hasan]

gawd this is soo frustrating

[c0unterph0bia]

Damn, he just insulted everyone who picks lettuce.

[speciallyblend]

babble babble

[AgentPaul001]

Guliani got raped, then Huckabee and Romney raped each other.

But........FINALLY Ron Paul question HALF HOUR INTO IT.

Wtf great a 9/11 Conspiracy Question!

[rodent]

Shut up, Romney!

[braeden0613]

oh man a cfr and nau question...wow

[Mandrik]

Oh God, CFR/NAU question...

[hasan]

yes ron paul video. but a negative question as usual

[StateofTrance]

Woo hooo RP!!

[Ron LOL]

Oh FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Ron Paul's first question is a fucking conspiracy theory?!

Fuck you, CNN. Fuck you.

[Mandrik]

RP is nailing this out the ballpark.

[Sandra]

Great!!!!!

[braeden0613]

great answer!!

[freelance]

RP is nailing this out the ballpark.

Yes he did! NAILED IT!

[hasan]

great answer. way to go paul. notice he din't go over his alloted time. watch and learn GOP candidates

[Ncturnal]

Oh FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Ron Paul's first question is a fucking conspiracy theory?!

Fuck you, CNN. Fuck you.

No doubt, but Ron always handles it well.

[Magsec]

Nailed

[RP4Pres2008]

FUCK CNN

Thank God Ron Paul is a God and can anwser this rationally!

[ape]

holy shit. talk about hitting the nail right on the head.

[speciallyblend]

good question and dam good reply, Home Run Ron paul

[u2canbfmj]

grand slam

[margomaps]

Great answer by Paul there...and I'm not being intentionally biased. :)

[ClayTrainor]

Oh FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Ron Paul's first question is a fucking conspiracy theory?!

Fuck you, CNN. Fuck you.

agreed, but man he handled that like an ace!

[rfbz]

I was worried when guy said "conspiracy" but Ron Paul came through 100%

[StateofTrance]

haha RP people out there...

[Jon S]

one two punch!

[Sandra]

That's our boy!

[Paulite]

praise ron paul he nailed it. knowledge is out there.

CNN SCREW YOU

[paulitics]

that is how you answer a tough question.

[beobeli]

It seems like McCain has a flu.

Ron is kicking big time... America wake up and see the light.

[jufreese]

finally...yes

[Jon S]

they better ask him a real question

[Ron LOL]

RP did a great job with the shitty question they gave him. Hopefully the future holds real questions, though.

[Sandra]

Is anyone timing all responses? I would love to know the time total.

[drain]

go after entitlements by giving universal healthcare? is he serious?

[MsDoodahs]

Well, CNN's first salvo to try and make Ron look kooky failed pretty damn miserably.

Way to go Dr. Paul!

[c0unterph0bia]

Anyone have a link to that guys YouTube question for Ron Paul?

[walt]

omg - ghoul said something about the currency ROTF

[Travis]

That was a good question, I bet that guy was a Ron Paul supporter bc you know that CNN isn't going to pick a softball question for Ron Paul by a Ron Paul supporter. You have to make it seem like its slanted at RP but he asked a question about REAL important issue. Great Question. Excellent answer.

[ape]

they need to cut these guys mics

[freelance]

Well, I just have to tell you that sitting here imagining that I'm listening to the next president as these other candidates speak JUST MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE!

[Sandra]

Yeah! good question!

[margomaps]

I can't wait to see the total amount of time allowed to each candidate to ask questions. It's going to piss me off SO much.

[hasan]

another one for paul

[xao]

Those who believe Cnn is being nice and had a change of heart, better wake the hell up. They're a major media conglomerate and will never give up their bias against a true american patriot like ron paul.

Btw, McCain is a disgrace to this country.

[walt]

I feel a grand slam coming here!!!

[RP4Pres2008]

Here We Go!

[beobeli]

Fred has no idea where to cut spending... blah, blah, blah...

Ron is going to nail it. Just watch

[MsDoodahs]

Fred's dodging. She said name the top 3 you'd shit can.

[ronpaulitician]

Nice... please, please, please, let all the candidates answer this question.

PS Fred's answers is a non-answer.

[MsDoodahs]

Good job pooper on calling him down on it but Fred is STILL dodging.

[d991]

Thompson bombed, avoided the question. THIS IS RON PAUL'S QUESTION. This has potential to be a big moment....

[Ron LOL]

Set 'em up and knock 'em down...Let's go RP!

[walt]

elmer fudd is now finished

[Jon S]

haha following a phony like thompson. here we go man

[smatts]

lobbed in and a whack by paul.

[Mandrik]

BTW, if you are playing my drinking game, you should be drunk or dead by now.

[hasan]

great line RP

[Sandra]

Thompson's tanking

[Jon S]

Yes

[Wilkero]

Is anyone timing all responses? I would love to know the time total.

I'll add up the time totals tomorrow or Friday and I'll post it after I'm done.

[mwz]

Fred Thompson is a train wreck

[StateofTrance]

Here he comes............wooot

[Nancy A]

BTW, if you are playing my drinking game, you should be drunk or dead by now.

lol

[beobeli]

Ron Paul: "Washington did not change me" LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Bursting with knowledge....

[braeden0613]

hmm while i agree with cutting those...im not sure the average voter will like it

[freelance]

Another home run!

[rfbz]

huckabee wants to get rid of the irs now hahaha

[hasan]

dude huck just stole RP's stance of removing the IRS

[ronpaulitician]

Time? What the f?

[MsDoodahs]

Still Fred cannot name THREE programs he'd cut.

Go Ron Go!

YOU GO MY MAN RON!

YAY!

He walked all over Anderson.

Huck's such a dickhead. lol, Fairtax, lol...

Steal some more, you weaselly shit.

[Mandrik]

End the IRS! Lets bring on the fair tax! Cheer!

[RP4Pres2008]

Look at the time Ron is given and Thompson!

BULLSHIT!

[margomaps]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!! They gave Ron 30 seconds for that, and Thompson 90 seconds.

Then Huckabee gets all the praise for eliminating the IRS. Barf.

[tcmaroc]

This guy is a joke

[Ron LOL]

Oh God, here comes Fair Tax...

[smatts]

great IRS gone but bring on more taxes? great huckabee

[StateofTrance]

I wonder why didn't RP mentioned IRS?

[margomaps]

Ron BETTER get a chance to answer this question.

[Mandrik]

Boo that fool.

[Jon S]

response

[beobeli]

here it comes.... Duel

[braeden0613]

omg kill mccain

[Ron LOL]

I wonder why didn't RP mentioned IRS?

Because he knows better than to think he can kill the IRS in a day.

[ronpaulitician]

Paul better get a chance to respond.

[margomaps]

McCain is getting equal boos and applauses for his attack on Paul.

[Jon S]

i love ron paul

[Magsec]

Ron's smirk while shaking his head = bring it!

[RP4Pres2008]

Booooooooo

Hahahahaha Yes!

[hasan]

mccain is a liar in my book now. i have no shred of respect for him anymore

[MsDoodahs]

Our people are in the audience, they hammered McCain.

YAY MY RP PEOPLE!

[StateofTrance]

haha boo boo

[Jon S]

Slam Dunk!!!

[hasan]

great answer RP. hes much better now.

[Ron LOL]

I like that cocky smile. RP looks like he's going to thwack McCain.

[freelance]

Good, Ron Paul just blew off the time limit. GOOD FOR HIM!

[MS0453]

Our people are in the audience, they hammered McCain.

YAY MY RP PEOPLE!

I know, I love it

[madcat033]

Holy Shit That Was Awesome Ron Paul Just Owned Mccain!

[walt]

mccain obviously doing the jewish smear of ron paul bit. :(

[ronpaulitician]

Not bad, Ron.

[Spirit of '76]

I apologize for being brand new.

I AM FUCKING WASTED. thank you fuckface mccain.

Sorry, it's the alcohol thats causing the cursing.

Fucking isolationism.

THE TROOPS DONATE THE MOST FUCKING MONEY ASSWIPE

Welcome to the forum, bro, but please remember this is a family show. ;)

[ronpaulfollower999]

The audience needs to shut up!

[freelance]

He is ON FIRE tonight.

[krott5333]

Welcome to the forum, bro, but please remember this is a family show. ;)

dont you think this temp forum can be party time?

[Falseflagop]

Wow McCain scared Sh-t and attacking for CFR!!

[braeden0613]

how did this clown get his video through

[krott5333]

hahahahahhaha i need a beer

[kmoon]

Welcome to the forum, bro, but please remember this is a family show. ;)

I do apologize, won't happen again. (unless i hear the word isolationist again.)

GO RON!!!

[StateofTrance]

haha RP supporter right there..

[wfd40]

anyone else's heart beating fast??

A lot of really great potential soundbytes though thus far

:)

[DJ RP]

I'm shaking for ron paul. Holy shit. Our man puts himself into the line of fire on our behalf. I am so proud of him. And I'm so happy the audience booed mcain's BULLSHIT.

I had some respect for McCain before on his stance on torture, but now, I have nothing but contempt.

[MsDoodahs]

Wow, who said Ron had the flu earlier?

Ron is drawing energy from us, y'all.

[margomaps]

To be honest, Ron seemed a little rattled by McCain's attack. He did a good job answering, I think, but he was visibly upset.

[Jon S]

k i like this debate so far

[MsDoodahs]

I'm shaking for ron paul. Holy shit. Our man puts himself into the line of fire on our behalf. I am so proud of him. And I'm so happy the audience booed mcain's BULLSHIT.

I had some respect for McCain before on his stance on torture, but now, I have nothing but contempt.

I'm shaking too!

That was awfully powerful, folks, I'm STILL shaking from it.

[Mandrik]

anyone else's heart beating fast??

A lot of really great potential soundbytes though thus far

:)

Yup, me too. But the fact that he is being attacked on stage is A GOOD THING. It gives RP a chance to respond and own them in the face.

[pguitarb]

the first time ive ever heard Ron say another candidate's first name

[Kade]

http://justinandemily.blogspot.com/

Emily is a Ron Paul supporter.

[nyrgoal99]

We are dominating so far

[Delain]

anyone else's heart beating fast??

A lot of really great potential soundbytes though thus far

:)

Yeah. A lot of potential great videos allready :D

[Jon S]

crap. they better now show ron pauls bad video

[wfd40]

To be honest, Ron seemed a little rattled by McCain's attack. He did a good job answering, I think, but he was visibly upset.

I don't agree..

I think he was all ready to pounce .. but then, Andersonn delayed and stole some of his mojo

Solid answer nonetheless...

[rfbz]

god i hope they don't play the "he's catching on" video lol

[beobeli]

Every Ron's video from grassroots beats Tancredo's. Sad.

[DJ RP]

I forgot about this. We're going to see Ron's commercial premierred tonight. Yay!

[Magsec]

lol @ Tancredo's "What the flooty?" face

[speciallyblend]

tancredo video =tacky

[madcat033]

This debate is AMAZING! Ron Paul is knocking these questions out of the park!

[hasan]

lol lame video by tancredo's campaign

[ronpaulitician]

Poor Tom.

That ad stunk.

[thehighwaymanq]

I was watchin the debate with my mom and guess whose now a Ron Paul fan!

[Harry96]

The fact that McCain would come out swinging at Paul like that shows how big Paul has gotten.

[Lexx78]

The more people I hear that have given up TV, the more my outlook on the future of our country improves. Thank you. :)

Same here, no cable tv :D

Ron Paul is standing great, like expected :)

[kmoon]

I wish Tancredo would smile, look out at the camera and say "guys it's been fun, but seriously, I'm voting for Ron Paul."

[smatts]

ewww bad ad

[Richandler]

John just tried to imply that Ron will lead to the next Hitler, He deserve more response time than the 20 seconds he had. McCain is just mad his support is disappearing to Ron.

[paulitics]

lol Tancredo Poo eating grin.

[FindLiberty]

I'm not watching or listening to it, just enjoying the blow by blow coverage here.

Thank you RonPaulFORUMS - great coverage!

I wish Harry Browne was here to enjoy this liberty moment!!!

GO RON PAUL !!!

[ccannizzaro]

Should've brought up how the others would create deficits with their "no tax hike" pledge. And as we all know deficits are tax hikes for the future.

[curiousobserver]

http://www.cnn.com/video/live/live.html?stream=stream1

[hasan]

godddd this is sooo funny. im sorry but way to go freddie

[beobeli]

Fred's video is working for Ron

[ronpaulitician]

And we haven't even gotten to Iraq yet.

I have a feeling that Thompson, Romney, Giuliani and Huckabee will all try to match McCain's condemnation of Paul's non-interventionist stance (or, in neocon terms "isolationism"). Good. Great. Perfect!

[ronpaulfollower999]

I hate to say it but good ad Thompson!!

[walt]

Shut Up Romney - Someone Please Get A Muzzle

[pguitarb]

lawlz @ fred's video with the bongos

[c0unterph0bia]

Ron Paul is never wrong!

[ronpaulitician]

Did Mitt get new black hair dye, or what?

[margomaps]

Really a bad move by Thompson. That video didn't say *anything* about himself. He just attacked Romney and Huckabee. Lame.
