Hannity: "All of the candidates will be at my forum tonight"

[nf7mate]

Good choice to not go on. Any time Ron goes on hannity it ends up like this


Hannity opens up with a comment about the 'snowball incident'
Ron laughs
Hannity makes some remark about how much he agrees with cutting a trillion dollars from the budget, calls it 'bold' at least 3 times
Ron agrees and starts talking about austrian economics and the fed
Hannity cuts him off to talk about Iran, essentially calls him dangerous

Debate ensues for at least 2 minutes, hannity saying things like like 'hamas', 'obama apologizes', 'they hate us because we're free'

Hannity asks ron about the 3rd party issue
Ron gives the same response and says he's in it to win
Hannity cuts him off and insists that the republicans need his votes and pushes the issue

The 'interview' ends with hannity sucking up to Rand and mentioning how much RP's supporters hate him and how unfair they are.

Shame on you. You've been listening to Hannity.

If he finishes strong in NV, then that sort of takes any claims of influence Hannity might make down a peg or two.

We'd better do well in Nevada.

 

[TomtheTinker]

I think these people should be embarrassed...any decent person would be. But then again to expect them to be decent is like asking a cat to bark.

Yesterday I listened to Hannity preceding the Rand interview. Then I listened to the interview itself. A short synopsis: Sean said Ron didn't accept the invitation to come on w the other three candidates. Said Ron was "ducking" him. Mentioned Ron had called him a statist and Sean said he had been tough on all the candidates.
Does Sean realize how whiny he comes across?


On an unrelated note, does anyone have a legitimate financial statement saying where money went when Sean conducted those Freedom Tours for children of harmed Iraq War Veterans? I've heard of extravagant expenses, but I'd like to know if the story is legitimate.

Why are you people listening to Hannity? Its bad for your mental health!

 

[tennman]

Ron's getting a lot of flack for declining, but it's hard to say it was a mistake. Hannity takes every opportunity to make him look bad, constantly asking about the newsletters, 3rd party run, "So why do you want Iran to have nukes", etc instead of asking questions that give him an opportunity to speak about things that actually matter. He is worse than any other media bias out there by far. If he had gone he would have been railroaded while all the others are lobbed softballs.

This is so true and it makes me so upset. I used to like Hannity but now I see him as a total Jackass and I don't listen to his show period. I hope the Ron Paul people are in the crowd to boo those shits up there on stage (not calling Romney a shit but the other 2).

 

[NEEK0]

We have something like 250 delegates available this month. Just be patient patriots, the fruit of our labor will be here soon.

 

[NoPants]

Hahah! Ron Paul snubs Hanity. I love it!

We've come this far without the media's help. All they've done is try to hurt us. I say we don't need them.

I have heard stories, too. Would be nice to blow that open.

He lives in his own reality. Let him.

All we can do is form our own, and pay attention to and promote the only GOP candidate that can beat Obama. These people that won early primaries aren't real contenders, so why acknowledge them?

 

[WIwarrior]

First, Hannity is a dick and will do everything to make Ron look bad. Hannity is biased and is an attack dog.
Second, Only neoconservatives listen to Hannity and we will never get them to vote for liberty. This is a fact.

The good news is the neocon base is shrinking and we need to continue to target independents, blue republicans, libertarians, and under 40 republicans.

 

[acptulsa]

You know, freedom of political speech is one thing, but this is simply and purely false advertising, and that is something else again. Think we can get up a class action suit for taking time out of our busy lives to hear Paul pwn the lot of them, only to discover that he was advertising a product he did not provide?

If nothing else, we could press it to the Supreme Court just to see if any MSM outlet at all covers it.

 

[Brett85]

Well, Romney has mentioned Ron already.

 

[playpianoking]

Ron is taping Piers Morgan now rather than appearing on Hannity. Piers Morgan is a full hour to himself and to set him apart from the establishment that appears on Fox. Relax, Ron is the man and his campaign staff knows what they are doing.

 

[jacmicwag]

Well, if things don't turn our way in the next few weeks, it will be time to reconsider options such as third party. Ron is still polling close to 20% in an Obama - Mitt - Paul match. That's far higher than we are currently polling in any upcoming GOP primary/caucus states. Right now we are iced on MSM because the story is the Mitt - Newt - Frothy battle which is legitimate coverage based on the past two contests. So how do we get our mojo back? Either a big surprise in an upcoming state or a third party announcement after Super Tuesday. It's one or the other or we dwindle into irrelevance.

 

[Tyler_Durden]

Well, Romney has mentioned Ron already.

How? I'm not watching it..

 

[icon124]

F hannity and everything this man touches...glad RP didn't go on

 

[playpianoking]

He only mentioned that both he and Paul were able to get 10k votes to appear on VA's ballot, unlike Gingrich who is a complainer. Not a full prop to Ron, but it could be seen that way.

 

[Brett85]

How? I'm not watching it..

He mentioned something about how Gingrich was trying to retroactively change the way that delagates are awarded in a certain state because he and Ron got the majority of the delagates. I didn't catch what state he was talking about though.

 

[rpwi]

Don't think this is the worst thing that Ron isn't in on this. I think the campaign has done what it can do on the Fox network...we've appeared on lots of debates and interviews they've hosted. If we haven't won over Fox viewers by now...I doubt we will with a rigged forum from Hannity. Also, by Ron not appearing there, this could make the public suspicious about the forum and they could lose faith in Fox. This is a pathetic company and Ron does hurt them by not showing up (not a lot but he does).

Now Ron does need to appear in more debates...new ones...and fast. But fair ones (like PBS or the internet) and/or to different demographics (Ron is always on cable news channels which a lot of people don't watch)...he needs to get onto Oprah and other media venues and stop beating a dead horse. Would much rather Oprah host a debate than say Hannity (and I'm not a Oprah fan).
