Nice.

Colmes and Ed Schultz are the only lefty talkers I can think of who are even barely tolerable. Schultz has had Dr. Paul on his program a few times too.

[Silverback]

I always imagine Colmes as the scarecrow from OZ.

Not because he's brainless, because he's a professional straw man.

Thank you again:)

Do you all think that this will be an effective opportunity for drawing attention and winning over more "liberal" voters, Democrats, etc? How popular is Colmes' show? I don't really know anything about him, except that he's the ugly "liberal" and Hannity is the more attractive (but far more obnoxious--at least he was to Dr. Paul) "conservative" on their TV show.
How much do you think this interview will increase the (positive) attention on Dr. Paul?

[austinphish]

From the American Conservative:
"Millions take dictation from talk radio, keep I-hate-Barbra-Streisand books climbing the bestseller lists, and enjoy the nightly spectacle of Alan Colmes being waterboarded."

The Economist:
"Meanwhile Fox News, which broadcast the debate, continued its tradition of balancing good-looking conservative pundits with liberals who look either weird or bearded."

[PatriotOne]

Reminder............Coming on in 10 minutes.

[PatriotOne]

RP should be on in a couple minutes.

[V-rod]

Colmes is such a fake, saying the most contrived and hollow responses he can muster, it's unnerving. I actually respect lame Hannity(whom I dislike) over him.

[Tsoman]

what the heck am I listening to? This guy Colmes makes me:rolleyes:

[PatriotOne]

Huh? Colmes just said Ron Paul was the one who makes the most sense. This may be good.

[Chibioz]

Ron Paul is coming on soon.

[JoshLowry]

Haha, Colmes was wondering why he couldn't get any sane people calling in at the beginning segment...

[winston_blade]

Colmes is such a fake, saying the most contrived and hollow responses he can muster, it's unnerving. I actually respect lame Hannity(whom I dislike) over him.

I don't respect Hannity more because at least Colmes will have Ron Paul on his show. I really don't like Hannity and I think that Ron Paul should go on his show, as well as Glen Beck's show, who I think is starting to really like Ron Paul.

[PatriotOne]

RP is coming up after the commercials.

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

I'm all a-twitter, still coming off my high from Des Moines . . . HERE HE IS!

[RP08]

HAH! "Camera in every bathroom..." way to make the point

[zMtLlC]

ZOMG, Ron Paul wants cameras in my bathroom!!

[ChristopherJ]

this is a good interview. Colmes a closet RP fan?

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

this is a good interview. Colmes a closet RP fan?

I think he can't stomach any more neocon b*sh*t.

Good interview.

[Electric Church]

This guy's much more reasonable than that Hannity guy

[BLS]

Good interview.

[JoshLowry]

Good stuff, in before "someone youtube it" post!

[ButchHowdy]

Awesome!!!!

[RedStripe]

Ron Paul's last little bit was the best!

[RP08]

ZOMG, Ron Paul wants cameras in my bathroom!!

I hope you were being sarcastic and I read that wrong...

He was making fun of the "government's" argument that "preventing people from getting blowed up in the UK is due to CCTV cameras watching us in public"... RP was saying that "...more people die drowning in their bathtub, so does that mean we need a government camera in every bathroom now?" I thought it was a classic illustration of the stupidity of the establishment's excuses for imposing on our privacy.

[richard1984]

Ron Paul: impressive as always.

[ChristopherJ]

Most of the radio interviews I hear seem to be fair. Unlike those TV people.

[PatriotOne]

Good interview. I wish RP was a little more optimistic about his chances. I hope it isn't a reflection on this quarter's campaign donations.

[BLS]

Really? I thought he seemed very optimistic.
I have always respected his honesty. He's a very well grounded person.

[quickmike]

Im noticing a sharp increase in frequency for interviews of RP


looking like things are rolling!!!!!

[DjLoTi]

Good interview. I wish RP was a little more optimistic about his chances. I hope it isn't a reflection on this quarter's campaign donations.

I seriously doubt it. Ron Paul always seems to have been less optimistic then most of his supporters. :P

On another note, Ron Paul on 3 radio shows today. Good job Ron!

[PatriotOne]

Really? I thought he seemed very optimistic.
I have always respected his honesty. He's a very well grounded person.

Well grounded for sure. I guess I want to hear him say he fully expects to be the next President. I know that's what I tell people...LOL.

[quickmike]

What did he say negative about his chances? I didnt get to hear it yet.

[quickmike]

Well grounded for sure. I guess I want to hear him say he fully expects to be the next President. I know that's what I tell people...LOL.

americans like an underdog......... even if he starts really catching on major in the polls, it would be good to be humble about it to some point.

[Roxi]

Great interview...and i really expected colmes to be as obnoxious as he is with people who call in but he was really respectful and is an obvious RP fan!

anyway i recorded it...jay's on the phone right now so when he gets off ill have him edit it (had a lot of extra crap in the beginning) and convert it and then ill post the link:cool:

[PatriotOne]

Humble is good....I guess it was laced with just too much doubt for my liking. It was kind of a long passage and I can't remember exactly what he said. It was more the tone of it I think. Sorry...wish I could quote it for you.

[Tuck]

wow Ron Paul sure has been busy lately

[dmitchell]

Nice interview. Good job, Colmes.

Good for them for posting, but they need to edit and condense the mp3. I could do it in 5 min. Get rid of the commercials and cut right to the essence. Do you run this site? I can help you

Dang you guys are fast! Glad to have you techi's on the team :D

[angelatc]

I am just getting ready to head over to RonPaulAudio to listen to it, but I have Alan Colmes on right now, and I just heard a Ron Paul supporter on the air. People are still calling in.

[Roxi]

working on edited version now

Email Alan thank you emails: alan@alan.com

Thanks. Assuming this email actually gets to Alan Colmes, email sent.

On a side note, I love listening to RP interviews. He's so sharp and quick. Not once have I heard him hesitate or repeat a question to prepare his answer. People have tried to catch him off-guard and corner him many time... some of them true professionals at entrapment, and he's never (that I've heard) gotten stuck. Truth works! Go Dr. Paul!

[mport1]

They just told me that when they go to open phones in about 45 minutes they will take more questions about RP. Call back then. 1-877-FOR-ALAN

[Roxi]

OK heres the condensed and edited commercial free mp3

[Kuldebar]

That was a great interview. I have a lot of respect for Colmes ever since that last post-debate ambush interview, Colmes seem very reasonable. It's unfortunate that he's usually in that Hannity idiot's shadow.

[PatriotOne]

Right on! I hope they are better than the drunks (not RP supporter's) I heard calling in while waiting for RP to be interviewed...LOL.

Perfect - Thank you!

[MrOrange]

I loved the interview and I have more respect now for Mr. Colmes, but I wish RP would have mentioned at least a little about the Iowa event. He was on a perfect track talking about the meetup groups when Colmes asked how the campaign was going. RP could've even jabbed a little at the lack of local and big media coverage there. I dunno. Easy to critique from the sidelines, I guess. Otherwise great interview. He's gaff-proof.

[mport1]

Phones are open - 1-877-FOR-ALAN

[mport1]

bump, try to get on

Eh....Ron Paul can rise above all that because he has an army of supporters and bloggers who can do it for him :p .

[DjLoTi]

o man I think I'm about to get on... 2 shows in 1 day for me... pretty nice :P :D

[kalami]

I don't know if it's the fact that he's always next to Hannity, but Colmes comes off pretty sensible whenever I see him.

[Kuldebar]

o man I think I'm about to get on... 2 shows in 1 day for me... pretty nice :P :D

This proves it! There are only 48 of us Ron Paul supporters!

[mport1]

I'm supposed to be on next.

[mport1]

So you can prepare, I will be talking about media coverage and the Iowa event if they put me on first.

[DjLoTi]

This proves it! There are only 48 of us Ron Paul supporters!

lol. I'm actually leaning more towards the issue of industrial hemp, I'll just mention that Ron Paul supports it. :)

[mport1]

Damn didn't get all my points through.

[DjLoTi]

mport1, I wish I could comment because I disagree with Alan. I wish I could have brought up some good points.... but unfortunately I can't :P

I might be listening more to this radio show though :P

[RP08]

It's almost like you can't get all your points out.

[JoshLowry]

Always fun to hear his name on the radio. :D

Nice work.

[mport1]

At least he let me talk more than Hannity did. I was going to bring up the 1,000+ that came to Iowa as a show of support, but I got cut off.

[RP08]

ok, that "wuz he convicted, wuz he convicted... can you hear me now, can you hear me now..." rant was annoying.

[DjLoTi]

I'm seriously probably going to sound like a dem sympathizing with Ron because he's the only thing sane :P hahaha

[DjLoTi]

omg i'm probably never getting on lol.....

[mport1]

They will let you on, just be patient. I had to wait for 2-3 days to get on Hannity but it was worth it.

[mport1]

Well I guess you have 1 sentence. Choose it carefully, lol.

[JoshLowry]

Haha last two were "Ron Paul for President" sentences. :)

I can't believe I'm listening to FOX :o

[mport1]

Sweet, we got in 5 total for the show I think!

[RP08]

"Thanks Alan for having Dr. Paul on..."

Whomever left that, thanks.

[DjLoTi]

I needed 2 more seconds. the ending was nice :)

[mport1]

I needed 2 more seconds. the ending was nice :)

Nice effort though, got a good bit out.

[quickmike]

did anyone record the post interview calls? Those would be interesting to hear.

[DjLoTi]

I got that America should be the worldwide leading exporter, but i didn't get that we import 3 mil. tons of hemp from Canada. lol. That's the big bang :P

[Roxi]

did you guys hear the argument between colmes and the guy who said "i think we should carpet bomb all the ragheads" and then said he wanted to "carpet bomb dearborn michigan" LORD

im starting to like colmes more and more

[torchbearer]

very good interview

[joshdvm]

Has Colmes changed his views on foreign policy? I recall one time in 2002 when Harry Browne was the guest and a livid caller was trying to lambaste Browne. As I recall, Colmes sided with the caller.

[LibertyEagle]

Ron Paul audio has this up and running:

http://www.ronpaulaudio.com/rpaudio/RonPaulFOXAlanCoombs070207.mp3

[beermotor]

I seriously doubt it. Ron Paul always seems to have been less optimistic then most of his supporters. :P

On another note, Ron Paul on 3 radio shows today. Good job Ron!


It's precisely because he doesn't really want the job that we can trust him with it.

(wasn't that Douglas Adams?)

[iddo]

did you guys hear the argument between colmes and the guy who said "i think we should carpet bomb all the ragheads" and then said he wanted to "carpet bomb dearborn michigan" LORD

I heard that part. He started by saying that we need another Richard Milhous Nixon in the White House who will carpet bomb all the ragheads. At least this guy doesn't want a Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler in the White House, I guess...

[angelatc]

did you guys hear the argument between colmes and the guy who said "i think we should carpet bomb all the ragheads" and then said he wanted to "carpet bomb dearborn michigan" LORD

Yes, I heard that. But that was the only guy he let talk for more than 10 seconds. Another caller started bring up monetary policy - might have mentioned fiat money - and Alan shut him right down.
