Hannity about to go on attack

[RadioDJforPaul]

Wow, Sean is using the old liberal trick. If you can't argue his points because they are true, just call him a racist.

 

[STAND-or-fall]

That's what I was thinking. If they want to shoot their last bullet this early then go for it. There's still 3 weeks+ to fend it off and get back on issue before the caucus. Besides, the "racism" thing is so thoroughly played out (along with the anti-semite thing overall) that it's lost all meaning and Republicans have been called racists so many times over the last few years that I don't think it has any lasting power over many of them. Will it endear Ron to them? Probably not, but I don't think it hurts very much either. I do think this may be a set up piece for someone to bring them up during the debate tomorrow though so Ron better have his response already laid out!

I'd also like to see Rand go on Hannity tomorrow as Ron's surrogate instead of Ron himself.

I'm sure the campaiqn has this one covered. it will be like winning a game of whack-a-mole with one 'whack'.

Sean Hannity sucks.

The newsletter issue is no more significant (or racist, for that matter) than Newt Gingrich calling for the death penalty for all Mexicans smuggling drugs into the US. But Sean doesn't mention that.

Crazy for liberty.
Didn't Ron paul win Black Republicans in 2008 (I know that's a small demographic, but I think he did).
Also, keep mentioning the drug war.

And the head of the NAACP in Ron's district is on record that Ron isn't racist at all.

Newts was worse because it actually was NEWT. This was NOT Ron.

Desperate Hannity attack was desperate

 

[gjdavis60]

Hannity really is despicable. I hope the neocon talk show hosts are desperate enough to reach out to the left-wing Paul haters and form an alliance against him. It's a remote possibility, but they are so freaked-out about this, I can see it happening. It could be the tipping point that we have been waiting for in the Republican party. It would expose the neocons once and for all as the big-government loving hypocrites that they really are, guided only by their desire for power and control.

Hope most of his audience are seeing through this.

Hannity really is a scummy human being. He gives free passes to Newt and Cain, but the newsletters are obviously not written by Ron Paul (who, as a Congressman, wouldn't have the time to even write those). Yet, he fixates on these like he fixates on men's anuses.

Fuck him. Wintertime is coming, Hannity

Just happened to watch Insannity interview Ann Culter on her endorsement of Mittens (last night). Insanity said all candidates would be a good president except Ron Paul, "I have a problem with his foreign policy and some of his writings that went on for a decade".

Insannity is getting his directions from somewhere. I just hope the good Doctor and the campaign handle this well. That's all that matters. He must do better than Herman Cain't.

Let's not forget Newt's comments about the Palistinians being an 'invented people'.

 

[Ekrub]

someone have a tube or link to where they discuss this?

 

[samsung1]

this stuff isnt sticking at the moment.. if you check the blogs and forums there's barely a mention on it.. maybe its too soon? maybe it will get worse after debate?

It has been out there forever. I don't think too many who use blogs are ignorant of it. MSM discussions are more rare.

Ron Paul the racist

 

[Giuliani was there on 911]

is there a recording of this yet ?

 

[Anti Federalist]

I want to read the newsletters. Where are they?

I have read them.

You'd be exposed to more "racism" watching old All in the Family re-runs.

One of the best things about these forums is that we can all give feedback about situations that come up with the campaign. The campaign can then look through and see if any ideas are worth incorporating into their response. That being said here is my take on what their strategy should be:

I feel that Hannity may have unwittingly given the campaign an opportunity here. We all knew that the media or another campaign was going to bring this up at some point, even though it has been already addressed in the past. What matters the most is that if and when the campaign addresses this they should do so properly. If we remember the Cain fiasco, it had turned into how the campaign responded to the claims that mattered. I know that the campaign doesn't want to get off message, but it is still three weeks out until game day. If they respond in a correct manner it could be a real plus.

1.) The newness of an issue is what drives headlines. Since the issue hasn't been brought up in a long time by the main stream media, it will have the feel of newness. If the campaign responds correctly and definitively, they can put this to bed not only for the primary but perhaps the general election. Address it in a press release tomorrow or Friday and then move on to other issues. If they do this then it gets minimal coverage over the weekend, but it will also be officially out there again so the newness is gone.

2.) During Rand's campaign, the establishment tried the same thing. Ron should go after this issue as an establishment vs grassroots issue. Don't address Hannity directly, but address the situation and attribute it to "the machine". This could also drive up donations for the money bomb on Friday! I remember this video from the campaign.

I used to be Hannitized.
I've since been sanitized.
Enough with the Hannity insanity!
