CNN hit piece on now! (tube added)

CNN is ALWAYS pimping the other candidates

Hey, I thought the stats about testing, their right to reject customers and no HIV were actually pretty good. Perhaps it will help people to think about what legalization of behaviors they don't like can look like.

Do you have a stream link?

nope... I had to run, so I didn't get to record it, but there should be coverage knowing CNN this evening.

I actually look at this very, very favorably! The legalization of prostitution is one of the top reasons I support Ron Paul over Obama. The CNN video may be intended to take votes away from Ron, but for spreading ideas and changing the minds of Americans, it is great! Most people I spoke with believe that legal prositution is extremely risky when it comes to STDs. This video educates them by showing that the practice is done safely and protects people against STDs (unlike illegal prostitution). If Ron loses the primary election, he helped win more hearts and minds to libertarianism with this footage.

I have to say: The brothel owner who endorsed Ron really ripped on Santuorm good in this video.

I can't even get mad at this stuff anymore. Its just funny to me now.

I know! Also, many of these attacks are showing how many different people from all walks of life support this guy.

 

[Indy Vidual]

I thought it was a good story. Shows the advantage of anti-prohibition.

Their objective is sooo blatantly obvious when they take a nonstory like this and give it all the attention while IGNORING the real story about Paul surging in SC.

The purpose here is to discredit Paul with social conservatives, a large block in SC. There is no other logical explanation for this.

The piece may help with you but you are DEAD wrong if you think it will help with social conservatives, whom we cannot totally alienate otherwise we lose. This is an indirect hit piece aimed at discrediting Paul with social conservatives, who generally don't have a great handle on the libertarian philosophy and won't understand that even though Paul wouldn't prohibit this behavior he does NOT endorse. His position is logical and principle but doesn't make well for sound byte politics, except to attack and smear him with social conservatives - especially timing right before the SC rather than Nevada primary where it would do most harm to Paul.

Geez RT, maybe make sure the internet connection works before putting them on the air?

Tube is unwatchable (yet somehow very watchable).

True, from what I've seen. I rarely watch TV, but the last couple times I turned on CNN, Wolf Blitzer was the worst. The other day I couldn't believe he was promoting Romney, and blatantly trying to discredit an anti-Romney documentary. It made me sick to watch, how obvious and blatant the bias is.

 

[Sullivan*]

Maybe Dennis Hof and the rest should keep it on the down low for the campaign.
To say the least... whether you agree or not with this CNN clown, Biltz Wolfer stated on camera he's a Zionist

I disagree... It may not be politically expedient for the campaign, but like someone else pointed out, isn't the President supposed to be the voice of ALL people, not just his supporters with the most palatable message? Not jumping on you or anything, just sayin'

 

[HigherVision]

Meanwhile Paul is probably one of the only candidates who actually has no interest in being a customer there. The rest would all condemn it and then hit it up on the d.l.

 

[abruzz0]

They did this in 2007 as well. The "prostitutes support Ron Paul" card is in the same deck with the newsletters and asking him if he'll run 3rd party nonsense. Yawn.

 

[giovannile07]

I think it was an alright piece, probably not the best thing to show as the South Carolina Primary is coming up, but it does show that legal prostitution is safer than illegal prostitution.

 

[fatjohn]

Well I support prostitution rights too, but you'll never see a report over bankers and why they support mittens, or blackwater and why they support newt. Blatant propaganda.

 

[No Free Beer]

How is this a hit piece?

I think it's great.

It calls for freedom

 

[rp2012win]

CNN mentioned this story over a week ago as well!!!! I tried to make a video but unfortunately they got away with it as it would not let me rewind for some reason. Is it really necessary to do this story twice in just over a week? The first piece was with the chick that is on before wolf from 1-3 and they had a "brothels for paul" segment that was about 1 minute long. The WolF Blitzer segment is almost like a "digging deeper" piece as it is much more thorough than the piece last week.

Edit: Found the video. 1/6/12

 

[Diurdi]

Next maybe heroin addicts for Paul?

Designed to hurt him with evangelicals. Anyone with a brain knows this. People with brains don't watch television, though.
