Dr. Paul on Boortz show at 1020 EST [edited by Mod: Canceled by campaign]

[walt]

Jessie Benton is operating from a frame of fear and not there is nothing to lose and everything to gain, he must be replaced soon or we are doomed as he makes enemies constantly with this last minute cancel shit.

canceling cspan the other day still has no explanation except pure stupidity.

I don't disagree with that. However, I think we overate what an idiot like Boortz says. He has mind numb followers that pretty much do as he says. Boortz was NOT going to all of the sudden support and endorse Paul. Regardless to him being fair to Paul on the show, the point is the conversation was going to be about his friend Hannity and his encounter with Paul supporters, which would have taken the focus off of the real campaign, which in my opinion hurts Paul.

It is not right for the Paul campaign to cancel scheduled interviews at the last minute with no explanation. It shows a lack of respect for commitments. If people think this was a good move on the part of the Paul campaign, then we are in trouble.

I understand your point about commitments, but I am almost 100% positive Boortz only wanted Paul on the air after what happened to Hannity. Did you honestly want him on the air asking him to denounce his supporters for what they did? We all know Paul supports civil disobedience, so he would probably not denounce it and of course Boortz would use this to slant the view of Paul. The guy is a slander machine, which is why a lot of his audience listens to him.

We'll unfortunatly I think we can almost write off Georgia because of Boortz. Hes got a big audience of libertarian leaning people warped to his neocon slant. Its carved up the typical class of Paul supporter pretty well.

It would take a fundamental shift for Boortz to come around. Influencing him by talking about the economy and Dr. Paul's monetary policies would be the only way that would happen.

Why should Paul do an interview that is blatently going to turn into a hit piece about his supporters and Hannity?

Wow.....I'm amazed Boortz isn't slamming Paul right now. Believe me although Boortz is being a jackass right now in his daily news, it still wouldn't help having Boortz going off on the issue of being cancelled on at the last minute.

Still....I think it would help if more people knew some of Ron Paul's positions and I don't think this was a good move.

This idiotic move is consistent! They have no confidence in their own candidate. Metaphorically speaking they’re playing the game not to lose instead of playing it to win. Inept!!

Ron Paul is in the room and he is talking to Ed Shultz. What the hell?

 

[readyja]

Don't jump all over the Campaign. This is Primary Day and elections are won in "LOCAL POLITICS" not on national radio shows. They are probably using their time more wisely.

Dave

It's not like the campaign didn't know that today was primary day. Why set it up on that day instead if you can't do it?

Then he shouldn't have taken the interview invite to begin with. Just decline outright.

 

[evadmurd]

I wish we could have connected with RP 10 years ago. Maybe he'd have a little more stamina for things like this.

Singer Melissa Etheridge joins the show to discuss her support for Dennis Kucinich.



No Ron Paul....I don't understand.

 

[coffeewithchess]

So is it official that RP backed out and didn't do the interview?

 

[webber53]

Boortz has been snubbed! I am glad.
He is a Neocon cloaked as a Liberatarian.
He is a warmonger.

[wealeat]

The press secretary apparently told Boortz that he has been too ugly about RP for Ron to be on.

Such a stupid reason to not get free publicity.

 

[lew]

They just said they won't do the interview because Boortz has said negative things about Paul.


But Paul goes onto Fox News. And Paul isn't afraid to address criticism. This doesn't make any fucking sense.

Beck was very good to Paul when he was on. This was a good opportunity.

 

[webber53]

Neal Boortz just said that Ron Paul will not do his show because Boortz has said so many
"bad things" about (Ron Paul) him and he will not be on. Boortz then goes on to say and I paraphrase
"Well that proves what I've been saying about him all along!"

Boortz is another Hannity as far as I'm concerned!

 

[dshields]

It's not like the campaign didn't know that today was primary day. Why set it up on that day instead if you can't do it?

Do not take this as defense of the campaign because I definitely feel they have been ineffective!

However, who is to say that it wasn't a tentative engagement and Boortz in his arrogance assumed Paul would cancel any conflicts to make time for his show? There are two side to this. Having listened to Boortz for a long time I have become particularly turned off by his treatment of Ron Paul and his supporters in general. In my opinion, this is inline with Paul turning down Fox News on their recent requests to interview them. They have obviously shown their bias against him both in excluding him from the forum and their interviews so Ron Paul being a man of principle has decided not to indulge them. I would argue this applies to Neal Boortz as well.

If this is why Dr. Paul pulled I for one am glad. I dont care how much you may not agree with some one on the issue but there is no reason for these reporters, radio show hosts, and tv personalities should be rude and call names. It is like none of them can even act like adults and then they yell foul when we call them names.
