CNN Is Interviewing Ron Paul Right Now

[ProBlue33]

It was just mentioned, tune into CNN to watch.

The reporter said they are going to ask his opinion on the 2016 election.

Interesting, he said the KKK thing is a media plant, hit Trump on real issues that he is bad on.

[Danke]

First question about the KKK...

[ProBlue33]

Good to hear Ron Speaking about policy again on national news.

[TheTexan]

I assume CNN ran out of important things to air. They could just fill the time with re-runs of Trump interviews.

First question about the KKK...

awe shit (tube or it didn't ha . . . never mind, someone will post soon enuf)

[openfire]

awe shit (tube or it didn't ha . . . never mind, someone will post soon enuf)

In a nutshell, Ron ripped her a new one for talking about the KKK instead of important issues like the military industrial complex, etc.

[Jan2017]

In a nutshell, Ron ripped her . . .

Let's guess the CNN reporter ?

Shall I name everyone on this forum who fell for the media's trap and told those of us who didn't that we were Fascists for not doing so?

[misterx]

Well said, Ron.

[undergroundrr]

Expect this thread to peter out after 15 messages. Only Trump thralls are left on RPF now. RPF policy has resulted in a membership that now takes Charlatan Trump's word above Dr. Paul's.

Let's guess the CNN reporter ?

Carol Costello (http://www.cnn.com/profiles/carol-costello), you are thinking Dana Bash (http://www.cnn.com/profiles/dana-bash-profile), John King (http://www.cnn.com/profiles/john-king-profile)'s wife.

[timosman]

Well said, Ron.

Well, now Ron will be accused of being racist again. :eek:

[AuH20]

Shall I name everyone on this forum who fell for the media's trap and told those of us who didn't that we were Fascists for not doing so?

We actually had forum posters pushing the KKK angle here. Like they were magically born yesterday, with no prior knowledge of Ron's campaigns and the race card resistance that it received.

[hells_unicorn]

Well, now Ron will be accused of being racist again. :eek:

Who gives a damn, the media thinks that everything is racist. I'm proud of Ron for not falling for this crap, you don't need to be a lying, opportunist douche bag like the people in the MSM in order to oppose Trump's candidacy.

[thoughtomator]

We actually had forum posters pushing the KKK angle here. Like they were magically born yesterday, with no prior knowledge of Ron's campaigns and the race card resistance that it received.

We got a whole bunch of people here who claim to support liberty but turn into hardcore progs where the rubber meets the road.

As expected. Go Ron!

(CNN)Former Republican presidential candidate and libertarian champion Ron Paul lamented the state of the 2016 race on Tuesday.

"My biggest beef is that from a libertarian view point, there is no meaningful difference between (Hillary Clinton) and (Donald Trump). I mean they both support the military industrial complex, the federal reserve, deficits and entitlements, and and an invasion of our privacy," Paul told CNN's Carol Costello on "Newsroom." "It's super nationalistic populism versus socialism."

The former Texas congressman's comments come as voters flock to the polls in Super Tuesday states. According to a recent CNN/ORC national poll, Trump leads to the Republican race with 49% support, while Clinton tops Democratic rival Bernie Sanders 55% to 38%.

Paul also likened Trump to Sanders, saying they are both "authoritarian."

"He's a big voter for militarism, but had one vote he could brag about," Paul said describing Sanders and his vote against the Iraq War. "He's an authoritarian of a different color, but Trump is a super authoritarian."

Paul also blasted Trump for refusing to disavow an endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke.

"That's unbelievable to me," Paul said. "They're evil, they're monsters ... yet this is going to be the issue of the day."

Trump is under fire from Republicans and Democrats for not formally disavowing the Ku Klux Klan during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday's "State of the Union." He has since done so several times.

Paul told Costello he has no plans to endorse anyone in the race. His son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, suspended his campaign in February.

Which originally was "Paul blasted the Useless Media for sensationalism when there are more important things like MIC, Federal reserve and loss of privacy not being discussed."

It's ironic that you would say that considering your support for a progressive presidential candidate.

Slander. But you knew that when you typed it.

[kcchiefs6465]

Slander. But you knew that when you typed it.
It is not. Donald Trump is of the Teddy Roosevelt school.

If I weren't typing from a phone I would point by point prove it to be the case.

In short, his entire ideology. From a strong central state, to spreading America's greatness, to his views with regards to the Insular Cases, to his views on abortion, so called assault weapons etc.

[erowe1]

Yes. And quote them doing so.

[erowe1]

Slander. But you knew that when you typed it.

So you don't support Trump?

[thoughtomator]

So you don't support Trump?

Trump is not even close to a progressive. This is the "how long have you been beating your wife" school of discourse you guys have descended to.

[Libertas Aut Mortis]

If anyone understands media traps and lies, it is Ron Paul.

Exactly. I have to admit that I'm fairly new to all of this. I was a rabid neocon in 08 and 12, and that crazy kook Ron Paul could go fly a kite!

The media completely indoctrinated me and propagandized my thoughts.

I haven't watched the TV (other than Netflix amazon hulu and youtube) for over 3 years now, and I'm all the better for it.

Once you unplug, you can actually pick up a book and read.

[erowe1]

Trump is not even close to a progressive. This is the "how long have you been beating your wife" school of discourse you guys have descended to.

Trump is 100% progressive.

There are zero points of progressivism that Trump fails to line up with.

[Chieppa1]

Trump is not even close to a progressive. This is the "how long have you been beating your wife" school of discourse you guys have descended to.

Yes, yes he is. He's not the FOX News definition of a progressive. But of course that channel thinks Neocons are actual conservatives, when they are actually progressives.

Trump wants to "Make America Great Again" all by himself. Much like Teddy Roosevelt. A progressive.

Yup. And I remember correctly, my primary and secondary school teachers made sure I thought teddy was "the bomb".

I have to give credit where it is due....Glenn Beck told me a ton of times that Teddy and Wilson were Progs. I didn't understand it (because I don't think Glenn understands it) but Judge Napalitanos book cleared me right up.

If you asked Donald Trump who his favorite presidents were, Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln would be on the list. Right after Bill Clinton, probably.

The Judge's book is excellent.

But they weren't progressives. They were on the red team...

You can always count on Ron to speak truth...

[kahless]

Clearly there are differences between Trump and Clinton. I guy that repeatedly says he will not rule through executive order, criticizes Obama for doing so and saying he will make deals is by no means an "authoritarian". So I take what Ron is saying here with a grain of salt. You would have to be a fool not to recognize that he is looking out for his own business and family interests.

Considering their prior attacks on Trump no doubt they are concerned with their loss of power within the party with the in-roads they have made and growing their organizations. It might be a little difficult to do that with a Trump win after burning their bridges and the power shift with Trump shaking up the establishment power structure.

[Suzanimal]

Ron Paul on Tuesday vowed he would not support Bernie Sanders’s White House run because of the Democratic presidential candidate’s similarities with Donald Trump.

“No, because he’s an authoritarian,” he said when asked if he’d back the independent Vermont senator on “CNN Newsroom."

“He’s just a variant of Trump,” the former Texas representative added. "Even the things I worked with on Bernie, some of the foreign policy, he’s a part of the military industrial complex.

“He was a big voter for militarism. He’s an authoritarian of a different color, but Trump’s a super authoritarian. Trump wants to be the boss.”

Paul also argued that Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton does not present voters with a better option than Trump, her Republican counterpart.

“My biggest beef is that from a libertarian viewpoint there’s no meaningful difference between Hillary and Trump,” said Paul, who sought the GOP presidential nomination in 2008 and 2012.

“I mean, they both support the military industrial complex, the Federal Reserve, deficits, entitlements, invasions of privacy,” he added.

“It is super-nationalistic populism versus socialism. That is so remote from what we need to be doing. We need to be moving ourselves away from tyranny towards liberty.”

Probably they know Ron Paul isn't a fan of Trump and they're hoping it will hurt Trump's polling.

[undergroundrr]

I wish Ron Paul could live a hundred more years. Nobody else speaks the unvarnished truth.

Maybe, just maybe, the guy talking about torturing people, bombing North Korea, banning so called assault weapons, executing Snowden, building a wall along the Southern border, overthrowing countries for oil, using eminent domain to steal property etc. etc. etc. is an authoritarian.

If it just a little "fat free" or "sugar free" I am still getting something out of it. Even if he does nothing the benefit of changing the power structure and disarming the media is still a net plus.

If the sugar free ends up killing scores of people and people associate sugar free with death or chaos, the supposed benefit would be lost.

[unknown]

Dr. Paul and Trump have nothing in common.

That having been said, the media did something similar to Ron Paul.

As usual, he ripped them a new one.
