Bill Maher called Dr. Paul his hero tonight after his performance in this weeks debate. He also called out Chris Dodd for distorting what he said in the debate in an interview with him.
Maher said he wanted to get Paul back on his show and I'm guessing he will get treated better this time around.

Is this true? That's pretty cool, actually.

Here's the link for that section of Maher's show

I love how Maher actually smacks down Chris Dodd when he also tries the straw man attack on Ron Paul.

Of course, Maher still isn't going to like RP's position on healthcare and education but at least he's backing him up on the foreigh policy front.

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.

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.

Ron Paul with Hannity and Colmes after the debate.

I have to admit, I have a lot of respect for what Ron Paul is doing. Running as a Libertarian is pretty pointless, but running as a Republican, and challenging people to take him seriously, is actually getting him some attention.

Ah, doh! I missed it again.

This is a great fan video analyzing the rudy vs ron debate moment. The narrator did a really good job.

This is not a video, but it is probably the best Ron Paul article to come out of MSM yet.

Washington Post

[ QUOTE ]
More than at any other time over the past two decades, Americans are hungering for the politics and freewheeling fun of libertarianism. And with the dreary prospect of a Giuliani vs. Clinton death match in 2008, that hunger is likely to grow even faster than the size of the federal government or the casualty toll in Iraq. Ron Paul may lose next year's battle -- though not without a memorable fight -- but the laissez-faire agitators he has helped energize will find themselves at the leading edge of American politics and culture for years to come.
