Here is the thread on the Colbert Report if we want to show some love - don't go insane, just say thanks:

I thought it went really well, maybe the hand thing went a little too far, but I think at the end when he brought the hand down and was like "yeah, this is for the kids" lol... it was great.

I guess I was just so excited about the show I just wanted MORE MORE MORE but hopefully more more more comes, like a snowball, with the campaign.

If you're not banned, may I suggest to everyone to please ignore this person. No use wasting your energy

Sigh...

"...he should have talked about are good conservative values like raising taxes and giving more to the people..."

The sarcasm was just dripping off of that post.

EDIT: It's not like I haven't made that mistake myself (missing obvious sarcasm), but I think we could benefit from not jumping to conclusions too quickly.

 

[DjLoTi]

O well my bad sorry! I'm not the best at getting jokes but that's what makes me great! haha

O yeah and plus.. I don't really read... I just skim... unless... it's worth reading..... yes........

For those who thought the Colber show wasn't that good, you need to take it in perspective with how the Colbert interview goes. Any other Republican he would have just thrashed. I mean any of these guys can bring up a littany of things that we don't want Ron talking about (racism, civil war - which is actually brilliant, but it just adds flames to the racist fire).

So my point is that the Colbert interview was very solid.

Well, folks... he bombed it. That hand raising thing - so passe. He isn't going to get any support from that - in fact, I won't even mention who *he* is.

Now what he should have talked about are good conservative values like raising taxes and giving more to the people. But, he didn't. So, he isn't going to have a chance... * nope *. None at all.

In fact, there's nothing to see here... nothing Don't believe me? Watch Fox and CNN tomorrow.

Ummmm... I think this comment was meant to be a little "tongue in cheek"
Very clever.

Guess my humor sucks

Uhh... that was my attempt at humor at how Ron Paul is "not" growing at all. I mean, with appearance on:

• The Daily Show
• NPR
• Colbert Report

etc.

He obviously gets no support at all.


PS: For future reference, this is my attempt to "Colbertize" the other republican neocons.

I too was worried about Colbert tearing into him but it seemed fairly obvious to me that Colbert likes/respects Ron. As far as the interview being too short and not very in depth, they seemed to toss out the basics of a lot of Ron's ideas - a good intro for those who haven't heard them yet, and now hopefully some will explore further.

I hope our mods don't ban people for mere dissent. That's sooooo not us.

The show: I have never seen Colbert let a guest talk more than Colbert talks. That alone was awesome.

But now I have nothing to look forward to.

 

[DjLoTi]

Ya Colbert is a really tough interviewer, so as far as Colbert fans goes, he probably did awesome (seems like it to me), plus he got the Colbert bump, which apparently means he's got Colbert's vote. !!!

When was he on NPR?

 

[torchbearer]

I thought bump was refering to the polls and donations.

 

[scbissler]

The New Hampshire Public Radio interview the day of the last debate. If you haven't seen or heard it I highly recommend it.

 

[angrydragon]

The new MSM name I bet. Rudy McRomneyson hehe

 

[DjLoTi]

He was on NH NPR a few weeks ago or maybe last week oslt.

According to another poster who is a fan of Colbert, a 'bump' means a 'vote' oslt.

 

[scbissler]

Torchbearer, I believe you are correct on the "bump".

Thanks for the regular viewer's perspective. I read an article some time ago, where somebody had recommended politicians of any stripe steer clear of Colbert. Basically they said that it is a no-win situation because of the nature of the show/character. This is my first time watching the show, and it seems like he got out of there without losing much at all.

The appearance was a gamble, but I think the exposure was worth the risk, especially for a campaign with a good message, but little mainstream coverage. I would say that overall it was a good move for the campaign.

 

[Godot]

I remember what the media did to Howard Dean after his "War Whoop"... and Ross Ross Perot. These media boys and campaign managers watch for any opportunity to paint a non-anointed candidate as a wacko.... but I'm the nervous type.

I'm glad to hear most of you feel he came off warm and humorous. I'm way too biased to be impartial.

I think it took alot of &@(($ to do that, I would like to see Hillery, binladen or
mc,cane go on a show like that !
