Excellent job fox news. You [censored] worthless piece of crap attack machine. Any chance they forewarned Ron about this attack before this interview?

So if the media asks a politican a difficult question that they havent told the politican about in advance, or ask him about how he views the support he gets from different individuals they are a piece of crap attack machine? Do you want all politicans to get the questions in advance, or just Ron Paul?

bedreviter, I know you don't like RP, but you don't acknowledge that FOX is extremly biased reporting? Even without all the RP stuff, just watch their channel for a day.

I dont like Ron Paul? Thats pretty far off. Im not his biggest fan, but I certainly agree with him on quite a few points. The fact that I sometimes questions him and some of his views might make me stand out in this crowd where hes seen as the second coming of Christ (or Thomas Jefferson), but dont mistake that for me disliking him or his candidacy.

I am certainly not overly enthusiastic about all his views, but if there had been as manny threads or discussions about oher politicans you would have seen me questions the other candidates as much or usually more than I question Ron Paul. Reason why I ask many questions (which may come of as negative because they often have a critical tone) is because this is the one place I know off where there are may Ron Paul supporters, and often I have gotten good answers from them that often clarify objections or doubts I have about him.

I also agree that Fox News is biased, and have a view that far too often is just an extension of the policies of the current administration and its supporters. I still think they are allowed to ask any politican hard or surprising questions. The fact that they may be rougher of Ron Paul then they are on Giuliani does not mean that asking the negative and surprising questions is something that should be viewed as a negative thing.

In my opinion, when you constantly support a candidate (Giuliani), ridicule Ron Paul, and then the few times he comes on the show, ask him absurd questions instead of questions about policy, fundraising etc, it's pretty bad. Nothing to be happy about.

Did you watch the video?

They talk about how he has almost reached his goal of 12 million$, let him talk about why he thinks he has gotten so much support, why people are donating, and letting him explain why it think that has happened. They ask him where he would cut to balance the budget, and finish of by saying to the viewers: "RonPaul2008.com, Go where everyone else is going and support the guy who is really surprising everyone in the field".

I did, I posted about it earlier, where I said I thought Ron Paul was a little too defensive about it, but that is an absurd way to start an interview.

Its a catchy lead-in. Whats more likely to attract viewers: "Stay tuned as we get Ron Paul on the show to talk about his successful money-raising campaign", or "Stay tuned and see what Republican candidate is supported by the Bunny Ranch" ?

I honestly dont find it absurd. Its certainly different, but its often more interresting to hear why the candidate think he gets support from the owner of the Bunny Ranch than why he think he gets support from the average mayor of some random city.

It shows that Ron Paul is finding support in unlikely places, and even though that owner probably has a negative stigma abot him does not mean that it should be off limits to talk about him.

That people get angry whenever Ron Paul are asked questions like this that might catch him off guard, but goes "hell yeah, thats awesome" whenever it happens to any other candidate is one of the things that bothers me about some of the Ron Paul supporters.

You understand what the intention of that question was, right? They are trying to associate him with a prostitution house. I would be pissed off for any candidate if they picked out some random supporter whom they knew, if associated with the candidate, would be a bad thing for their image.
