Most of the people I know around my age ( late 20s) skip Leno and only watch Conan. Or watch Letterman and then change the channel. Conan is considered "cooler" and more accessible to quirky guests.

He also has a huge "pay or play" deal to replace Leno in 2009. His ratings are strong.

Yeah, unfortunately that's pretty much the case.

Hopefully Conan will feel like an idiot when Ron Paul wins!
And, of course, he's probably really hurt his chances of getting the "Ron Paul bump," too.

So, in response to that clip, fuck Conan!!
 
i use to do stand up , there is an unwritten rule in comedy . nothing and no one is off limits .
besides , his writer's are more to blame at NBC than him .
this is more of a waste of time than BO comment s last night ..

He was bashing everybody, not really directed at Ron specifically.

However he does imply that Ghouliani, Romney, Hillary, Omama, and Dean are the only people "with a shot", in which case I'd call him ignorant. None of these people is fit to run the country. Notta one.
 
Ehh, I think it is important for everyone in the MSM to understand that if they mention RP, it had better be to praise him. As the CNBC people learned, mess with him and his followers WILL come after you in droves. It shows that we are aware, motivated, and are numerous.

Tell me that came out wrong and you meant to write something different. I certainly hope so. If the media mentions him they MUST praise him?!?

Yeah ... Indimadation ... so that's what the freedom movement is all about? That's the method Ron Paul uses to spread his message of Peace, Prosperity, and Freedom? Well damn, I learn something new everyday.
 
He has a friggin late night show, he is open to public scrutiny. He said what he said and we have every right to tell him he is full of shit.

He needs to have thick skin too.

What would you recommend? I really don't think that emailing them would be effective. For example, if I told you that you were full of shit, would that make you more or less likely to agree with my point of view?

No big deal, I still think Conan is the funniest late night personality.
 
Interestingly, if we would not have mentioned RP we would be equally pissed. Conan saying his name will make people go "Who's Ron Paul?" and look into it.
 
I went there expecting to see something awful, and what I saw was pretty run-of-the-mill. Don't worry about this. The two people who were singled out were Thompson and Hunter. Even if they'd singled out Ron, so what? We'll show them when we raise more money and start winning primaries. Until then, be polite, positive and persuasive. Being unable to take a bit of attempted humor doesn't impress people.

It does work for us in a strange way.
 
please dont email him ok?

i dont think he was talking about ron paul, but i think he was talking about fred and other lower candidate's.

can a mod close this thread then?
since i dont think he was hurting him in any way, and i have seen the video twice.
 
I love Conan; I did before the skit and I do now. The guy is funny and irreverent; he used to be the head writer for The Simpsons. He's not part of some conspiracy to get Ron Paul; personally, I wish that the Hunter "supporter" in the audience had been cast as a Ron Paul "supporter."

He is also extremely self-depricating (which is one of the reasons that he has become so successful); I remember him doing a sketch in which he actually went to the Greyhound bus depot (one of the seediest places I've ever seen) in Houston, Texas, because his ratings there were so low and the local NBC affiliate had put his show on at 3 a.m. He sat down at a TV that you feed quarters into to watch TV, and watched his show there. I remember a crazy guy yelling at him when he tried to get the guy to watch his show. Conan is funny, smart, and likely thinks highly of RP.

If you do insist on bothering Conan, the best thing you could do would be to buy some Mrs. Paul's fish sticks and mail them to him care of Late Nite:
