A caller set him up BIG TIME. She started by asking him how he considers Romney a conservative, moved on to talk about McCain and then, when he asked who she was supporting, she said she wanted to know more about Ron Paul. He ignored it at first and then, right before a commercial break he said something like "the fact that the media is ignoring Ron Paul should tell you something". The way I read the whole segment was: if you want to know who the left hates, look at who they try to tear down (Romney & Thompson) or who they ignore (Ron Paul). The moral of the story being that the left and MSM will mistreat the more conservative candidates.

This was actually a passive compliment of the good Dr. However, I noticed that ANY time he is forced to talk about RP, he cuts it VERY short and goes to commercial break.

That's because his good friend Walter Williams (who sits in for him) is a Ron Paul fan. Rush knows what's up but unfortunately, he is part of the establishment.

I think many in conservative talk radio are confused right now because they have been reminded of who they use to be by Ron Paul, and they simply don't know what to do. The exception is Savage because he is a stubborn a**hole.

LOL - Yea, I've noticed that. It's strange. It's like he has someone there with a gun watching him. He absolutely hates having to talk about Ron Paul. None-the-less, he doesn't really trash him. It's like he fears the controllers and he fears the Ron Paul army almost as much - lol.

Isn't Roger Ailes his partner in broadcasting. Maybe he just used to be. But Ailes is also a big-wig at Fox News. So maybe Rush isn't supposed to speak the great unspeakable name of Ron Paul.

Someone or some government entity has the goods on Rush and is using it to keep him quiet. Blackmail is the ultimate weapon Aipac and the FBI and the CIA uses to quell somebody.

I am sure letting the whole pain killer thing into the press was a wake up call for Rush to tow the line or be finished.

I have never heard Rush bash Dr. Paul. I honestly think he does not want to bring the legions of us that would attack from all angles down on him. That is fine with me, some others had to learn the hard way. I can still listen to him with good conscience because of this too.

The sticking point between Rusn and Ron is the Iraq War and nothing else. Everything Rush promotes is otherwise exactly the same as what Ron's promotes, except maybe for things like legalizing pot/coke and hookers.

Of course on drugs and hookers, it's a state's rights thing, Ron obviously does not personally endorse such things. If states want to criminalize or legalize such things, they can.

I only listen to Rush while I am driving home for lunch and back to the office afterwards, so I don't hear too much of what he says. But I don't remember him harping on the war too much. Definably not as much as good 'ole Hannity. Maybe he will surprise us. Today when he was talking about "endorsing a candidate" I thought he sounded like he was going to do something nobody expects in this election.

Where do you buy your tinfoil?

Where do you buy your dunce cap? Blackmail is standard operating procedures for the cabal.

Google and watch the video Conspiracy of Silence for starters. Getting politicians drugged and drunk and then photographing them having sex with children was quite a popular activity in the 80's. For further details you can google The Franklin Cover-Up and John DeCamp and read further about the subject. Just one example of how the real world is working Yongrel.

I know that, but "conservatives" still want moral issues to be somehow part and parcel of government policy. That's always been the difference between the libertarians and the conservatives. They share 99% of the economic issues and maybe 50% of the social and states' rights issues, and 0% of the foreign policy issues.

Karsten
01-21-2008, 01:54 PM
Rush just said he can't endorse a particular candidate, because if that candidate drops out he may endorse Mccain or Huck. That should allow him to endorse Paul, because he'd never endorse Mccain or Huckabee!!!

Caravello

Well, the really scary thing (if I can use hyperbole, but I kind of mean it) is if Hillary or Obama get in. They will definitely make things a lot worse. They are as dumb as it gets when it comes to economics. At least the likes of Romney has a clue. But RP would be our best bet, but if we can only get the welfare classes to embrace him which seems very unlikely.

. . ."the fact that the media is ignoring Ron Paul should tell you something".

good post and a great caller to Rush's radio show- it's very difficult to get on - always busy -
CSPAN's Washington Journal at 7-9am ET morning show is much easier to get on the program.

Now with RP's silver medal in "The Silver State" they still ignore Ron Paul -

Well, when the ex-Dem., ex-Indeep., adulterer, fake catholic, draft dodger,
ex-New York Sanctuary City mayor pulls in only single digit's under 5% EVERYWHERE -
ya' have to wonder when Fox News will start to exclude HIM from all Republican Party debates and
also you can also contemplate when the media will start asking Rudolph Judy-Annie
if s/he will run as an independent ?

Dr. Paul needs to start "closing the deal" on why leaving Iraq actually makes us more safe both here at home and abroad.

Perhaps something to the effect of.. "by withdrawing the main troops we will actively seek out and destroy known enemy targets using tactical special forces who are heavily trained to carry out pin-point search and destroy missions... I will cut off the heads one by one.. but I will not give the disenfranchised masses in the middle-east reason to hate America for what THEY SEE as an occupation of their territory. Most insurgents are but vassals to lords who high away from the fight... I will seek out these lords of terror and I will destroy them with our special forces units"

Someone brought up RP, I don't remember exactly what was said, but then all you hear from Rush was fidgety shuffling of papers, a lot of ummm uhhhh ummmmm, and then "Ok, gotta take a break!" LOL

Savage had this author on last week who was superb in his discussing our meddling foreign policies, the phony War on Terror, and condemning about everything Savage stands for. And while I though Savage was going to become unglued, he just let this man speak his mind - maybe he was on the phone with his lawyer!

Sure, I think there's a conspiracy that Rush isn't talking about RP.
But it's not any kind involving a conference room in an underground military bunker or anything.

Rush knows that if he starts talking about Ron Paul, he's going to start losing major face among not only the MSM but his own listeners. He is at the front line of the establishment neocons who get all their political news and commentary from the likes of him, Hannity, and to a lesser extent Glenn Beck and Mike Savage.

The number one reason we don't hear any neocon in the spotlight talking about Dr. Paul is very simple: his stance on the war in Iraq. If Rush starts talking positively about him, he's going to not only take a multi-faceted attack about being a flip-flopper on the war issue, but he'll have defense contractors ringing his phone off the hook asking him if he realizes the importance to the U.S. economy of continuing the war effort (read: lucrative defense contracts that keep Lockheed in business).

It's that simple.

Unfortunately, I don't think a compromise can be reached, because Dr. Paul's stance on Iraq is central to his government philosophy. And until we get some fresh commentators on the airwaves with points of view closer to the American public's, we're not going to hear anyone praising Dr. Paul.

don't be scared of democrats , and don't be scared of the terrorists. That's how people are manipulated. The policies to protect us from terrorists breed more terrorists and make us less safe, and we continue losing our liberties when we settle for the "less scary" candidates.

+1 on these comments!! Rush agrees with the doctor on the drug law mess he's been through and knows Paul is right on his record and economic front.....its ALL about RUSH though and not what's good for the people or our future (money trumps the right thing).

Rush won't have a choice to support Ron Paul after Feb 5. All that's going to be left is Romney, McCain and Paul (and possibly of bit of Huckabee)

He hates McCain and is critical of Romney. Don't worry, we've got till Nov, and Rush will back the Republican nominee no matter what.

Savage is pushing the agenda. It's sick, he goes on and on about how no candidate has the answers to fiscal issue or is conservative enough. Yet he'll turn right around and dog Paul. It sickening really. Perhaps Mr. Paul should let Savage interview him. The biggest thing I hear from Savage is that islamo-fascists are going to kill us all. He's a tool. Americans have never been afraid of shit. More people die per year from eating cheesburgers than have been killed by the islamos. I sure hope people are intelligent enough to not fall for the lies these fools have been spreading for so long. Hopefully Bush hasn't completely turned people into vote Democrat at all cost types.

Romney owns the parent company of the parent company of the EIB network...

Rush bashes all the candidates (except Romney) and pretends as though Ron Paul doesn't exist.

Some callers should try and get through and discuss the first fact with him.

*** If you're going to bring up the Romney topic, don't mention Ron Paul at all.

Otherwise, we should start a call campaign to get bring the Ron Paul debate to the commentator who most laments the abandonment of conservatism by the GOP.
