Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

Glenn Beck this morning on his radio show says he has repeatedly asked either fred thompson or Ron Paul to come on his show but they refuse.

Today Glenn asked anyone who knew Ron Paul Supporters to tell them that he is offering Ron Paul ONE FULL HOUR on his show to discuss his platform objectivly.

Glenn says he agrees with a lot Paul says like disbanding the IRS.

Glenn also disagrees with things like disbanding the FBI.

Glenn said he woudl be treated like every other guest on his show.

Anyone I'm telling you what he said to relay.

He will give Paul One full hour on his show which is better than the 30 second internet clips.

WTF?

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

I don't know the situation. Beck seems like a total blowhard flag waving muslim hater from what I've seen.

Anyone who is still pro war at this point is insane. I'll give the people who believed the WMD stuff and woke up a break, but not anyone still living in a fantasy world.

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

Yes, a guy like Paul is in the business of turning down an hour of air time on the 5th most popular radio show in the country (according to wikipedia, i dont know jack about radio). Why does that not add up right to me.

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

How is insanity related to supporting the war?

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

I dont' listen to Glenn Beck I was flipping through the radio this morning and he made it Clear 1 hour of time for Paul or Thompson

It's pretty standard to turn down interview requests from hostile interviewers. I bet Hannity would like to interview Clinton.

Here's an interesting video that sheds a little light on the Beck-Paul friction.

I think Ron Paul going on his show for a full hour would be an incredible opportunity. Glenn had a full hour with Penn Jillette a few weeks ago and it was great. Penn is, by all accounts, basically an anarchocapitalist and he was treated fairly and was asked honest, interesting questions. They even agreed on a lot of stuff. The best part was that Beck let Penn do most of the talking.

Glennnn Beckkk is super smarmey and very sarcastic. And I did hear Back say that he thought abolishing the FBI was a dumb idea.

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

I've watched Glenn Beck for a total of about 2 hours over the last couple years. Here's a summary of his show:

"I'm a recovering alcoholic... goddamn Mexicans..... I don't have any friends... goddamn muslims.... I'm really lonely and pathetic.... [censored] liberals.... [censored] mexicans.... did I mention I was a lonely pathetic alcy?"

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

I believe Paul has been turning down Beck. I don't think it's a wise move. Whether it's fun or not, it's going to be a lot more beneficial to your campaign than your biweekly appearance on the Alex Jones show.

we need to get boro's wife to pass this on to the campaign.

Beck and Hannity aren't at all comparable--Hannity is just plain unfair with anyone he disagrees with. Besides, Paul agreed to a Hannity interview, didn't he?

When I used to listen to Beck's show regularly, he'd interview people he disagrees with but he was always polite and gave them ample time to make their points. Sure, he expresses his disagreement, but he doesn't steamroll them. I've also heard him say several good things about Paul on his show. While they disagree on a lot, I don't think this would be a terribly hostile interview.

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

Hostile or not why would you turn down a chance to expand your ideas to a crowd that may have no idea who you are.

You can't lose votes you never were going to get but you CAN win votes with a few good points and ideals.

Only as part of the Fox post-debate show as far as I know. He really should go and appear on both the Hannity and Beck radio show.

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

You'd have to be insane to support it.

Thread cliffnotes:


Ron Paul is a scaredy cat

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

Anyone with different views than you on how the US should act internationally, and at what cost= insane. Nice concept.

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

A guy who wants to stick his dick in a blender has a different viewpoint then me. Both opinions aren't equal, his is retarded.

As far as I'm concerned Iraq is dick in a blender level of stupidity. If you don't believe me we can just see what things are like in three years.

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

If you feel this way e-mail the campaign and suggest him going on.

Do you have any idea who votes in Republican primaries?
Aren't these the exact people that Paul needs to convince if he wants to win?

Re: Glenn Beck told me to post this to Ron Paul Supporters
 

From what I have seen of Beck, his views seem very much in line with RP. I know he thinks RP is a weak candidate, but aside from that, not really sure where the friction is.

QFT

Plus, the people in Glenn Beck's audience are the people who would be potential voters for RP.

Why would he not want to take advantage of that?

I guess all those troops who opt to go over for a 2nd and third tour fall under your assumption of insane. Your opinion is noted, but I disagree.

I can understand why some politicians would rather not go on these shows. Very little gain, but they can lose a lot of ground if the interview goes bad.

For an answer to your question, watch Lou Dobbs when he interviews a guest with whom he has opposite views. He treats the guest as hostile; controls the conversation; doesn't let the guest complete an answer; he just attacks; attacks; attacks.

If you were a candidate running on a platform of amnesty for illegal immigrants, you would not want to go on the air with Dobbs for a 5 minute interview. He would show you no respect.

Not that I'm for amnesty, just equality in debates with the host of the show.
