Breaking - Ron Paul on Daily Show

That is the kind of coverage we need. Now if he could get on conan or leno, hell even letterman, that would kick a lot of ass.
 
That IS awesome! Being on Jon Stewart will really help Dr. Paul reach a lot of younger voters!

Woo-hoo! Go President Paul! :D

I record this show every night, so I'll be watching for this interview...ditto for Colbert Report.

Pros and Cons

Without question, the Daily Show and Colbert Report have a large audience and people Dr. Paul needs to reach. I would think that Stewart and Colbert might be sympathetic to Dr. Paul's antiwar views also. It also might help viewers "make a human connection" with Dr. Paul as a person.

There is a big downside, however, in that Stewart and Colbert are primarily comedians and they will do what they can to get laughs at Dr. Paul's expense. I don't recall too many politicians that have gone on those shows and not stumbled or gotten into awkward situations by the questioning they faced.

Finally, aside from supporting Dr. Paul's antiwar position, I don't think they'll have much support for Dr. Paul's other views. I hope I'm wrong.
 
I think Stewart and Colbert are normally able to "trip up" politicians because most politicians are full of crap. Stewart and Colbert are able to capitalize on this...they catch them in their moments of BS and gets laughs.

Ron Paul is smart and he has nothing to hide, so they really can't catch him off guard on anything. Stewart and Colbert are also smart. They know what is at stake and I believe that they are true patriots like the rest of us...unlike the sell-outs at Fox.

I really think it will be a good thing overall!! I hope (and believe) that any laughs we see will be "good" laughs, not laughs at his expense.

Go, Dr. Paul!
:)
 
The only downside to any and all exposure of Dr. Paul to the universe is in your mind!

Dr. Paul's genius shines through anybody's hogwash! Have faith in the truth!
 
This is really exciting now. The snowballing effect of his campaign after he appears on The Daily Show will be huge. A few weeks ago I was thinking he'd never make it on CNN or Fox ever again. I was wrong. A few weeks ago I dismissed the idea that Jon Stewart or Colbert would interview him. Wrong again. If this much can happen in a few weeks, am I wrong in thinking this guy has a fighting chance for the nomination?

I hope not!
 
The funnier, and more jovial Ron Paul is on the show, the more human he becomes, and more likeable.

Don't worry about it, it is supposed to be a comedy show.

Hopefully Ron Paul just goes with the flow, and shows whatever type humor he has.
 
True, Stewart backs Ron's views, so I wouldn't worry about him being humiliated. Considering his views on the MSM and current politics, it's likely that Stewart will be "blown away" by Ron Paul's truth and derive humor from that as the audience laughs and applauds. It will be fantastic.
 
LOL, you guys crack me up with your worry, if you watch any of The Daily Show, you notice a trend. They attack people that are attackable, in regards to the type of people they are. Now if Giuliani went on the "The Daily Show" I would be able to sell tickets to my TV, because everyone knows that guy would get burned. I can't wait for this, it is going to be great - plus just go look at "The Daily Show" and "Colbert Report" message boards, ever since the first debate people have been requesting for RP.
 
Also, if he stand out so well at both debates, where he was alone against every other Republican candidate facing the Republican Party - this is cake! hehe

Well, this forum wasn't created so we could play paddy cake. :D
 
Wow, I can't believe it. I was so sure they would never let him on the Daily Show...

Well, for once I'm happy to be wrong. :)

I'm a bit worried since we all know Jon Stewart and his audience are biased towards the Democrats. So his conservative/capitalist views might come under ridicule. But Ron Paul is anti-war and anti-establishment, and he deviated from the norm at the debates, so he has that going for him. Besides, they've had conservatives and such on before and had civil discussion.

Hopefully with this we can catch the young, college aged left-liberal/Democrat demographic.
 
stewart had someone from the cato institute on last week, he was friendly
 
You know, after reading the article, I want to know what these "sources" are.

Don't get me wrong, I truth the FMNN is credible, but I want to be sure.
