Glenn Beck Says ‘Solid’ Ron Paul Could Be Candidate....

[bluesc]

Lets see. I was poll standing for awhile in a very liberal area. I had an old woman come over to us foaming at the mouth, then yelled in my face "Ron Paul is a kooky crank" spit flying out of her mouth and she was turning red with anger. Obama supporters are dangerous and crazy.

Sounds like fun.

The problem is, now it is the trolls, not real supporters at all, but everyone is happy to believe they are. Like that Manchurian candidate video first ever picked up and shared by the Huntsman site, to which it had been tweeted from a freshly created account as its first and only video. Yet the name on the account, belying this subterfuge was all sorts of blatant 'RonPaul' signalling. Sure.

All candidates have supporters who are off the wall, but Ron Paul's off the wall supporters are made the centerpiece of media attacks, and trolls supporting other campaigns take advantage of it. In the end, we can only mind our own actions, not theirs.

 

[blakjak]

Agreed. There's a vocal minority of Paul supporters that give the majority a bad image.

+rep. Only Beck twists your conspiracy theory before regurgitating it. Someday he'll say FEMA camps are a communist Islamofascist George Soros inspired plot.

I saw a vid on YouTube with Judge Napolitano and Alex Jones. The Judge said he has spent some time talking with Beck and has converted him somewhat about Ron Paul. Regardless of what you may think of GB, people do listen to him and he would be a plus if solidly on our side.

 

[mport1]

Can't argue with that point about some supporters hurting him. There is a percentage of Paul backers who do and think horrendously crazy things. And, right or wrong, they attract media attention.

Yeah, I actually agree with Beck on something. This is a first.

 

[satchelmcqueen]

i dont care what beck says. hes turned on ron to many times for my taste. last week he tried to tie him to whats his name...cant think right now. beck does more damage to ron then any rude or crazy supporter.

 

[Working Poor]

Of course, they let THAT caller on...

They probably provided the script and paid them too.

 

[JohnGalt23g]

Well four years ago I saw some too. This time around, not so much.

Well, you were at Ground Zero, so that's a good thing

And I suspect a lot of them got the message over time that they really aren't welcome. That doesn't stop them from expressing their crazy online or over the airwaves.

What we need to be able to do is muster a whole lot of anti-crazy in their wake, and let people like Beck and Rush know that we are in fact, for the most part, reasonable people.

Beck is a stark raving lunatic, who cares what he has to say?

 

[satchelmcqueen]

this!!!!! ive said it for years. if paul actually had 10 to 15 minutes to speak uninterrupted on national tv, he would win over the masses almost instantly. im pretty sure this is whats happening now.,

Well said.

 

[sailingaway]

I did. And I've seen this same lady in other states all around the country. The Romney people were complaining about her too and telling us she made us look bad.

One. And how many other Ron Paul supporters have you met all around the country who weren't?

Sure there are a handful, and unfortunately, they are the least shy. But that isn't the bulk of us, by any means.

Beck is a stark raving lunatic, who cares what he has to say?

a lot of people do. Beck has been very up and down on Paul recently, but he has said some good things. We need people like Glen Beck and Palin to give Paul praise. It will help bring over the people who get their news only from the TV/Radio. If you want to win, we need this vote, like it or not.

What about his recent Soros connection accusations? Surprised he's not throwing those out there again.

Considering Ron was not thinking of competing too hard in Fl which is expensive, and considering the Soros funded periodicals hate Ron as much as Fox news does, perhaps he's rethinking that.

Beck is a stark raving lunatic, who cares what he has to say?

Quite a few people unfortunately. To actually win the nomination, we need more people in the media on our side. TBH a luke warm comment from Glenn is much more than I expected and if we continue to do well I would guess they would stop putting the RP crazies on air and might start discussing RP's acutal issues in a favorable light.

Last night's speech might have been the first time Beck and many others ever sat down and actually listened to a Ron Paul speech.

The intellectual incestuousness of the media causes people like Beck to have their opinions formed by other pundits, who had their opinions formed by other pundits, who had their opinions formed by the first pundit like a dog chasing its tale. Add in a little lubricating money and there's no need to actually investigate what the truth is, ever. The great breakthrough of last night's result was that a LOT of people actually saw Ron Paul present his ideas, uninterrupted, without an antagonistic questioner guiding the narrative, for the very first time.

This. It wasn't nearly Ron's best recent speech. It was a good speech, and people listened all the way through, is all.

 

[thoughtomator]

Glenn Beck calling someone else crazy?

 

[The New Deal Sucked]

To his credit, Beck does a lot of his own research so I don't agree that his opinions are formed by "pundits" I just think he comes to the wrong conclusions when it comes to foreign policy. We are going to have to change our tone quite a bit, especially new supporters, if we have any serious shot of winning some of these big Conservative names over. No I didn't say change the message, just the tone.

 

[roderik]

I think the mainstream media and certain radio casts could be really solid.
They just have to escape GLENN BECK. What a disgrace this man is.

the alex jones crowd does more harm than good? no way... i'll never believe it.
