Hanity Is Trashing Paul Right Now

Sure Hannity deserved to be rebuked. But if a group of RP supporters do turn into a pack of hyenas around him, might it not have a negative effect on voters?

Might it not have an effect on the way people vote if RP supporters are seen acting in a way that seems unpleasant or aggressive?

Or, to put it another way, I believe very sincerely that the CIA is correct when they teach and talk about blowback.

But there are a few RP supporters who appear not to have grasped the concept.

Blowback doesn't flow in one direction. There is blowback from Fox News/Sean Hannity toward the Ron Paul campaign because of last Sunday night. The Ron Paul protesters' chasing Sean Hannity down the street was also blowback against Fox News, whom Hannity happens to be an agent of, for its blatant attempt to manipulate the GOP Primary.

You're comparing apples and oranges. Assuming arguendo that Ron Paul wanted to behave like some of the protesters on the Leno show, it would have made him look unpresidential and the First Amendment doesn't protect such behaviour on private property. By contrast, a street is public property wherein First Amendment rights are protected including the rights of supporters of a political candidate who wish to vent their frustration toward an agent of a media conglomerate that is blatantly attempting to manipulate the GOP Primary.

What's your point? Legality has nothing to do with what I'm saying.

I have to disagree with this.
Sure Hannity deserved to be rebuked.

What he deserved can Not be discussed here because of Forum rules and the repression of Free speech.
It did my soul good to see him run like the coward he is.

I can see that legality has nothing to do with what you're saying. You're more concerned about imagined perceptions; I'm more concerned about defending a person's constitutional rights -- even if I disagree with the content of the message.

For every action there is a reaction. Not all reactions can be anticipated. However, to guarantee the avoidance of any negative reaction, one must avoid taking any action to begin with. However, not taking any action would merely maintain the status quo. Maintaining the status quo is unacceptable IMHO.

So, Fox News is trying to play kingmaker and some of Ron Paul's supporters don't like it. Some folks bitch about it on this forum. However, some folks decided to vent at an agent of Fox News who happened to be conveniently nearby. Now, Fox News is giving Ron Paul the silent treatment. This might be a problem if Fox News was the only media outlet in the world. It is not. Thankfully, there are other media outlets and the internet to debate what did or didn't happen on Sunday night and whether 100 out of the hundreds of thousands or millions of Ron Paul supporters just might be, gasp, hooligans.

Also, "noob" is about the stupidest thing you can call somebody on the internet, because it implies that the date they register to a forum somehow informs what they are saying. Get a grip, I've followed Ron Paul's career before 95% of the people here ever heard of him.

The reason I called you a noob, Noob,:rolleyes: is because you act like you're the first person to discuss how people should be behaving when you're not. We have this STUPID conversation practically on a daily basis and it's an ENERGY SUCKER!

Stop complaining! MYODB. Don't come on here talking about how WE treat Sean Hannity after the atrocious way he treats Ron Paul on a station that purports to be 'fair and balanced'.

Contribute to the Forum positively before you go insulting everyone as being irrational.
 
Here is the final word on this subject. Our Fearless Leader Speaks....

"Well but that sounds healthy, they were shouting, they are allowed to do that, there was no violence, but I tell them they should have fun, it seems like they maybe having some fun. There shouldn't be any pushing or shoving..." -Ron Paul


WOW, seems my posts are closer to Ron's position on protesting Fox then our California Precinct Captain.

Ron Paul wants us to fight hard for our ideas (sans violence)

End of Story.

I retract my post that those supporters did anything wrong.

Don't waste brain cells thinking about Vannity. Anyone who listens to him is a complete lost cause anyway.

And it looks like Sean-boy won't get to be White House spokesman in the Ghouliani administration either. LOL!
 
I thought the thing was great. Most people know Hannity is a puppet. It's refreshing to see such a response.
 
They are being oppressed, that's why they were so emotional when they ran into Hannity. Of course the oppression is much more subtle but it doesn't make it less effective nor make a population less angry that there voice is not being heard.

I'm really surprised they kept their cool.

In case you didn't notice. The MSM and especially Fox has been suppressing the RP message for quite a while.

They are too busy whining and yelling about the evil oppressors to actually listen to what Ron Paul says. *sigh*
