Analysis: Media is NOW pushing Dr. Paul because he is NOT black.

[nbhadja]

While I don't think this is true (they just care about establishment vs non establishment candidates) I think it's ridiculous that people are so afraid about threads that mention a race. Wa wa wa "mods please delete"

 

[constituent]

this is laughable. are you saying the CFR is racist? If I turn on my tv all i see is Hillary, Obama, and Mccain.


Actually Msnbc is pushing for Obama.

because they are all racist.

i always thought it'd be awesome to make a huge billboard w/ Obama
on it, smiling and waving, with the text:

Don't be a racist, vote for me.

As the only message.

Ron Paul being mentioned on CNN again, over his gold standard

 

[liberteebell]

So what do you suggest? Shall we do a chip in and call RP up and tell him we've collected enough money for him to go to Iraq?

At what point does HQ have a responsibility to run a campaign to win this by doing the easy stuff?

Having a grassroots the likes of us is unprecedented.But we still need a qualified, aggressive and savy HQ to make it all work. I'm still holding out that after March 4th we will see some changes.

What should be marketed and drummed up is that Ron Paul has more active military contributions that all other candidates COMBINED.

I'm all eyes and ears to see if HQ will do a damn thing with this. My guess is that if we don't promote it ourselves...most people will never know it.

Anybody have RPs phone number? I'll chip in and call him Why not?? What a morale booster this would be for the troops on the ground in Iraq (I know, I dream xtra-big).

I'll put this in HQ's suggestion box and hope for the best.

In the meantime, I'm writing to my local paper and teevee since Norfolk is such a large military town.

He was just discussed briefly on CNN regarding economy and gold standard.

 

[Shink]

Until I see more than a mere TWO references to Ron in the media, I'll have to call bullshit on 'the blackout is lifted' claim.

 

[Carole]

Ron Paul cannot leave the country now on a junket anywhere.

Ron Paul does not even take the Congressional pension. I doubt he would approve using taxpayer money for a junket.

Get real.

However, he might consider it if we funded it.

 

[Carole]

How about Ron Paul plastered all over the networks news shows for one?????

They are paying lip service to him. They are so bored with their own candidates that they have no news to cover and are, as usual, trying to get viewers-namely us. Who wants to watch the media circus that is going on? They want viewers. Mentioning Ron Paul is controversial and that is what they thrive on.

Again just now as I typed this, they mentioned him in a derogatory manner regarding gold standard on Your Money. One second coverage.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

 

[slantedview]

Ron still doesn't even register on the media coverage scale.

Notice who does register, Romney, a guy who dropped out.

I absolutely understand that we would fund it. I wasn't suggesting taxpayer funded. Been reading Ron Paul for about 10 years now and I know better than to suggest that

I also know that he can't go anywhere right now but after the Texas primary, why not?

 

[angelatc]

They aren't pushing him although I agree the blackout has been lifted it is not because they want him to win, it is because they think he has no more chance.

Quoted for truth.

In their world, Obama is the next President and true conservatism is the next likely threat to the globalist agenda.

 

[New Governor Of Alaska]

The media blackout on Dr. Paul HAS ENDED. Dr. Paul is NOW being brought back into the limelight ......

I am sorry, rexsolomon, but this statement can be called a Joke Of The Year.

 

[H Roark]

LOL, you think race is even an issue with the elite!? They don't care if the president is lime green as long as he is doing their bidding thats all that matters, Obama is perfect.

Ron Paul wants to get rid of the Federal Reserve, once you understand how much impact that stance has on the establishment...

 

[rexsolomon]

I am sorry, rexsolomon, but this statement can be called a Joke Of The Year.

I try not to take myself too seriously.

It IS happening though.

 

[ButchHowdy]

" . . . HQ should really ride the wave of the active duty military donations by having rallies close to or on military bases everywhere (never let an opportunity pass by), or doing speeches on aircraft carriers and such. . . . "

Who could we contact about doing this?

 

[liberteebell]

Who could we contact about doing this?

I wish I knew. I posted something on the Daily Dose on the main website in hopes it moves up the food chain. We need a hotline to Ron Paul

 

[Lisa S]

I think the small increase in coverage is to try and mend the fences a bit with the Ron Paul supporters. They also may a have heard that research is going on about the lack of coverage of Ron Paul. Who knows? I'm sure whatever the reason it's not to get Ron Paul elected. I wish it were true for whatever reason, but they probably prefer O'bama anyday to Paul.

Come on people. Super Tuesday has come and gone. The MSM could easily remove any reference or mention of Ron Paul 100% of the time from here on in - but they are not! The recent free publicity for Dr. Paul will last.

Occam's razor. The simplest explanation is this:

The media doesn't win if this early on (February) the presidency is an Obama-only affair. What will the MSM do till the September convention?

Dr. Paul is again being cast in the limelight because he is the only one with enough popularity, stalwart supporters, the proven ability to raise funds - and military support, plus a firm moral ground to counter Obama's slick 'I'll promise you anything, just vote for me' style.

The MSM knows that McCain will be obliterated by Obama, and that would not make for high Nielsen ratings.

This campaign is starting to play like the original 'Rocky' film.

 

[libertythor]

His very strong showing in 5-6 states helps also. Plus with the recent economic news his message is now looking more credible to some in the MSM.

 

[CurtisLow]

Official Ron Paul HQ and Grassroots Leaders listen up!

We libertarians are NOT racist. However based on the sudden and simultaneous decision by the media per links below:

The media blackout on Dr. Paul HAS ENDED. Dr. Paul is NOW being brought back into the limelight because the leading contender for the '08 Presidency - Obama - is black.

I do suggest we take full advantage of this.

what are you smoking... lol When I see it, then I will believe it..
