This is the first politician that I have ever really liked! It is just horrible that the party base seems brainwashed and will probably not vote for him. For example I asked my dad, a long time republican, what he thought about Ron Paul. My dad said that he thinks he is crazy. This is mostly due to the fact that my dad listens to people like Sean Hanity. I think that this will be Ron Pauls biggest hurddle.

lol, when I was a youngin my mom used to listen to him on the radio and just yell at him. Probably the most irritating car ride home from school ever. Although its not bad compared to the car ride home in which the parent smacks the kid on the way.

Sean Hanity seems to be one of the biggest morons in the country, hopefully he eats some bad food and dies soon.

Everytime a mainstream idea is repeated however, the speaker is able to draw on the previous programming of the listener to respond to the ideas. So really if a propagandist gives a 5 minute speech, and a gadfly gives a 5 minute speech, it still isn't equal. What's actually happening is the propagandist is giving a 20 year speech, and the gadfly is still giving his 5 minute speech.

One of the best observations I have ever seen on this forum. Kudos.

I'm embarrassed to say that I do the same thing. I've found that if I tune him in and call him a [censored] idiot all the way home, I feel better. I guess he's the moronic radio host equivalent to a stress ball.

The bad news is that I'm adding to his listener base when I do this. The good news is I don't give a damn about any of his sponsors, and boycott them all out of principle.

I feel sorry for this guy because it's simply not possible for him to make the points that he wants to make in the time he is alloted. It's even worse when someone like Bill Maher hops around to different very complex topics like THE CIVIL WAR and global warming. That said, Paul did a good job of encapsulating sophisticated ideas into few words.

If you'll notice, this happens to people like Chomsky too. Chomsky talks about how it's actually a good tactic for the corporate media to occasionally throw on a legitimate alternate viewpoint, because no matter how eloquent the person is, they're going to sound like lunatics.

Everytime a mainstream idea is repeated however, the speaker is able to draw on the previous programming of the listener to respond to the ideas. So really if a propagandist gives a 5 minute speech, and a gadfly gives a 5 minute speech, it still isn't equal.

Conclusion: the media is rigged.

Why Big L Libertarians Should Support Ron Paul.

Re: ***Official Ron Paul video thread***
 
Is anybody else expecting that if Ron Paul doesnt get the Republican ticket that he will run as a Libertarian?

I know he mentioned I believe on the Daily Show that though he has run as a Libertarian in the past, the only way to really get into a debate in our political system is to run as a republican.

He would do better to run as an Independent. Libertarians are seen as kooks by the mainstream. But thanks to the laws regarding campaigning that are designed to maintain a two (well really one) party system, it takes a lot of time and money to get on ballots with a different party. Dems and Reps get on for much less money and much fewer signatures. He would have to spend all his time just to get on ballots and have less time to actually campaign.

At least that is what he said to me on Sunday. (Saw him at an FFF.org conference). But, you never know. He didn't completely rule it out.

That's the advantage of going Libertarian. They would do all the work to get on ballots for him.

Sorry, I just watched the Ron Paul stuff from Bill Maher and I didn't think the media made him seem like a lunatic at all. He had a lot of interesting ideas, Bill Maher gave him a chance to explain them all, made a few jokes, but overall, Paul's points were very clear and understandable, and reasonable as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Uhm... Bill Maher did nothing but launch ridiculous personal attacks the whole time. He avoided actually talking about issues and dwelled on the Civil War thing, something that happened generations ago and has no actual bearing on real world politics today.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you think this that was harsh, you should see British political journalism, esp Jeremy Paxman on newsnight. It dosnt matter what political stripe you are (though he will be more harsh on you in you are in power or hold a position of responsibility)Jeremy will tear into you like a rotwieler, its not uncommon for MPs and Ministers to walk out of interviews. He basically asks a question, and if the MP dosnt answer or hand waves, he just repeats the question more aggressively.

Yes, that was excellent work as well. Those shirts look great wadded up on the floor, by the way.
