Laura Ingraham stream with Ron Paul 11:30am ET (tube added)

[BKom]

She just came back on and rallied behind Netanyahu and said 'she disagreed with Ron Paul on this'.

And she's back. That took all of thirty seconds. Yeah, she's coming around. People should have to punch themselves in the gut when they say things like "she's coming around" to describe confirmed neo-cons who make their living farming morons.

Wow, I don't even know where to begin with this one.

Here are a few assertations the interviewer made:

* Christians, jews and other minorities are being slaughtered in egypt right now.

Here is an example about muslims who put their lives on the line, one who is in critical condition to protect the life of a christian:

The whole country is in absoluete chaos and upheavel. The media there, as in the US is fanning the flames or propagating rubbish. Give them some time!

* Mubarak was bad, but atleast he didn't kill christians.

This one literally blows my mind. A tyrant dictator who was in place for 30+ years, slaughtering thousands of people, torture, no liberty or freedom whatsoever for the 85+ million people, but according to the interviewer, his actions are justified because the christians where safe. Ron Paul's message is about liberty for all, not liberty for a select few.

* The Quran teaches it's ok to kill jews.

Come on guys, there is so much hate and interolance it's really amazing. Just like the media tries to suppress the true message of Ron Paul, do you think that just perhaps it does the same thing with supressing the true message of islam and what is in the quran. Here is the verse (IN FULL) which is often attributed to this:

2:190: Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.
2:191: And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
2:193: And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

To put this in context, it was revealed at a time when the ruling class had stolen property, enslaved the population and was on a mission to kill all muslims they could find. Muslims were advised to defend themselves WITHOUT trangressing boundaries and to stop the moment the hostilies against them had ceased.

But I guess it's easier for Laura to just claim that the quran contains verses of hate.

You're being lied to about Ron Paul. You're being lied to about Islam. Muslims have the same aspirations as everyone else, they want liberty and the right to decide their own fates. Do not trust the media.

I loved the interview, Laura was great, I especially loved when they were talking about how people voted for O, just to see the first minority pres. Laura said, well why not vote for the first president who wants to eliminate the Fed.

While you may be a recovering neocon, Laura is definitely not. She was okay with Ron today, by which I mean she didn't jump down his throat. It almost seemed like she was perfunctorily allowing him to make his points rather than interrupting and belittling him, which is what she normally does to his supporters and to the man himself when he's not on the air with her. Want to know if she's "coming around?" All you need to do is watch her on the election coverage on Fox tonight and you'll see the real Laura. My guess is that she'll revert to the Laura we all know and loathe.

Well then at least she knows how to be respectful when interviewing him. Hannity could learn a lot from her.

They just played a clip from the interview on Special Report with Brett Baier. They played up the fact that Dr. Paul criticized Romney over health care and flip-flopping.

Hi downunder

Welcome to the forum! And thanks for your comments.

Very few people on this forum trust the media

Good! Get rid of the stupid conspiracy theory!

 

[anaconda]

Laura is usually pretty respectful.

Paul seems to have grown on her somewhat. Listen here for a very different sounding Laura in 2008 (also Ron Paul's best interview ever in my opinion):

I don't think that Muslims as a group have specifically pro or anti-liberty aims. I'm sure it varies as it varies among people, with most people leaning more towards the anti-liberty side. And all the religious texts typically contain both messages of humanity and compassion and also hatred and violence so there's a lot that one can spin from whatever side they're arguing from.

HV, why would you think that though?

Liberty defined:

1. freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control.
2. freedom from external or foreign rule; independence.
3. freedom from control, interference, obligation, restriction, hampering conditions, etc.; power or right of doing, thinking, speaking, etc., according to choice.
4. freedom from captivity, confinement, or physical restraint.


I'd argue that citizens of muslim majority countries are more inclined to pursue liberty than any other group. Whether it is Tunisa, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Libya, all humanity wants to achieve their natural aspirations towards freedom and liberty. I base my understanding of the scripture that I've read, from the teachings every sheikh I know espouses and from my association with the muslim community in Australia.

The media choses to define the narrative and amplify the message that they want heard. The US needs an external enemy to justify the likes of SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, Patriot Act and NDDA. You don't need to look far and hard to know who the scapegoat is. We need people like Ron Paul in the US and across the world to unite the common man!

Ultimately religion will probably cause the destruction of the world if we ever do have a nuclear weapons exchange.

 

[downunder]

I see things a little differently... it's mostly politics and power. Religion can and is, used as a tool, however it's not the cause. The ruling class will always find an excuse to cause the people to goto war. Whether it's corporate interest, control of the money supply, access to natural resources, 'pre-emptive' war, etc, they'll always find a way to wrap their agenda in the B.S to sell to the people.

The average man has so much in common, which is why Ron Paul's philosphy is so important. Libery is a means to unite people and bring about real peace and prospertiy for all.
