That's not endorsement.

I can see it getting 1,000 digg with the red text: digg users reported this as inaccurate.

Really, guys, figure out the difference between endorsement and support.

If the person said "I endorse Ron Paul," that's an endorsement.

If the person says good things or likes Ron Paul, that's good, but not an endorsement.

Im sick of people like you, who know better, putting up bullshit like this.

It hurts Ron Paul's cause because people with any common sense can see its not an "endorsement"

are you here to hurt Ron Paul?

I think it was a de facto endorsement. Howard asked Penn -- "You gotta make a choice Penn...you can't cop out...tell us who you support for President." and he answered "...I've got to go with Ron Paul."

He didn't use the word "endorse," but he clearly supports RP.

Well it certainly is an endorsement if you say you will vote for him yourself. How could you vote for someone you don't endorse?

But luckily for nitpickers everywhere, the story is listed as "supports" in the digg article. So there shouldn't be any "possibly inaccurate" flags.

BTW look up the definition of endorse, it includes "to support".

Jillette still managed to call him a nut.
