Look what Tucker did for us on YouTube

[dircha]

Tucker Carlson's appearance on Bill Maher's show where he 1) tells crossover voters to stop supporting Ron Paul, 2) tells people that Ron Paul is a fad, and 3) tells people that Ron Paul wants to throw government dependents out on the streets, is in the Top 5 on YouTube today and has ~ 65,000 views.

Just what we need. Possibly 65,000 crossover and new voters, discouraged from voting for Ron Paul thanks to our "friend", Tucker Carlson.

No, I'm not going to link to it. You know how to get to YouTube. "TUCKER CARLSON *CAN WE ALL STOP PRETENDING TO LIKE RON PAUL*"

That's what some of you peoples' precious Tucker Carlson has done for us.

"Oh, he's using reverse psychology!"

"Oh, this will encourage people to go learn about Ron Paul."

"Oh, isn't Tucker dreamy!"

NO, it's discouraging potential new and crossover voters by belittling Dr. Paul's candidacy and misrepresenting his positions.

We could have had a video in the top 5 on YouTube with Tucker praising Ron Paul, reinforcing Behar's and Maher's positive comments, or even NO VIDEO AT ALL, but instead we have this douche, Tucker, 1) belittling and misrepresenting Dr. Paul, 2) disrupting positive discussion of Paul, and 3) making it difficult for these left-leaning folks who genuinely admire Paul to talk positively about him in the future, right up on YouTube with 65,000 and counting viewers.

I've had it with Tucker fanbois. He is no friend of liberty. Tucker Carlson is the same worthless schmuck he was on Crossfire, the same spineless slime he's always been.

Thanks Tucker. Thanks. And thanks to all his supporters here. You guys really make a difference, you know that?

The people who watch the clip arnt going to listen to Tucker, they are going to see the clip of Ron Paul from the debate and admire him.

damn, the media military industrial complex of gangsters must of finally gotten to tuck. what's tuck's email?...after we're all thru with him, he'll have RP on for more than one seg.

I agree that people saying "oooh tucker is clever he's using reverse psychology" are misguided. I think Tucker just says douche things.

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

This is stupid. Do you really think Tucker's opinion is valued around the country? You don't know if it will encourage or discourage people about Ron Paul unless you can read minds. Tucker's comment was a jab at the current state of America, not Ron Paul. People have become so used to government taking care of them and they can't take care of themselves anymore. That's what Tucker was saying and it's true!

I liked the clip. Tucker has given Ron Paul more positive media time than any other show. I'm no fanboy but I see exactly what he was doing. He was insulting the liberals, telling them that they couldn't/wouldn't want to take care of themselves. Don't forget he did say that he agrees with everything Ron Paul says. And "I'm a Ron Paul man". This did no harm.

And the clip of Ron Paul was great.

I hate to break it to you, but what Tucker said is correct.

"The liberals who love him would hate him"

That's the honest truth. The liberals out there that are for gun rights, in favor of abortion, gay marriage, etc, would never support Ron Paul, so on a social level they're polar opposites.

Liberals also want all the entitlements and social programs from the government that Ron Paul wants to take away.

They only support him because he's anti-war. And that's fine, but if they knew what he really stood for, they would oppose him.

Now if I were Tucker I wouldn't have said it just like that, but it's the truth, and he does have to keep things in perspective from time to time if he wants to be taken seriously as a non-biased source of journalism. If he was all lovey-dovey for Paul all the time, it would be a conflict of interest.

Tucker has been very good to us overall, and this one statement doesn't phase me in the slightest.

You don't think they're going to see the title of the clip:

"TUCKER CARLSON *CAN WE ALL STOP PRETENDING TO LOVE RON PAUL*"???

Or based on the title be looking for Tucker Carlson, as described, to interrupt everyone and say, "CAN WE ALL STOP PRETENDING TO LOVE RON PAUL?"

And then proceed to belittle his candidacy and misrepresent his positions?

Stop with the ridiculous rationalizations. Tucker is a schmuck and he is creating damaging negative press for us, for no reason whatsoever, other than to say "ME ME ME" as voice his whiney little opinion.

It's on Youtube. Go to YouTube. Click on the VIDEOS tab to see the top videos for the day. It's currently number 5.

I'm NOT going to link to it, because I don't want to give it more views. You know how to work YouTube.

 

[shepburn]

this post is too angery...

Like Tucker or not, he has given our hero the MOST air time BAR NONE!!!

If you are going to HATE on someone ... focus on another talk show host. There are plenty who won't even let callers mention Ron Pauls name.

 

[uncle saddam]

I'm not too concerned - if someone would be swayed that easily by Tucker, I doubt they would be very loyal anyways.

And matter of fact, he wasn't far off, except the part about 'most liberals wouldn't support him...' - that's debatable.

Just keep your chin up and remember that we hold The Truth - there's no escaping it!

 

[jd603]

no Tucker's been taking a shot or two at Ron on some shows lately, as of last few weeks. Something happened... I have no idea what but something happened. MSNBC management have a talk with him? Someone put him on the payroll to downplay Ron? Or he's just a douche bag? probably some other possibilites I forgot, hehe.

I agree that people saying "oooh tucker is clever he's using reverse psychology" are misguided. I think Tucker just says douche things.

 

[BarryDonegan]

tuckers rep with young people isn't so great.

 

[Jojo]

That was a stupid thing to say Tucker! But.. when Bill Maher said "there are a lot of things RP says that I don't agree with", Tucker said (but not loud enough!) "but I do, I agree with him".

No!

Ron Paul would not throw people out on the street. Ron Paul could not, and would not if he could, implement a radical Libertarian policy agenda in his presidency. Instead he would work toward a transition period that would still provide the people we have taught to be dependent on government the level of care and support they have come to depend on. He would do this by drastically reducing foreign and military funding.

There is no conflict of interest. Tucker is on this program as a media personality to give his personal opinions. He is not on Bill Maher's show as a reporter or journalist. His isn't even a journalist on his own show.

Ron Paul is not only popular with crossover and new voters because of his antiwar position.

Ron Paul is the only viable candidate we can count on to end the war in Iraq as soon as possible; Hillary and Obama won't, they've said as much.

Ron Paul is the only viable candidate we can count on to stop the march to war with Iran; Hillary and Obama have stated they will leave open the option of a nuclear first strike.

Ron Paul is the only candidate we can count on to drastically curtail government secrecy and government abuse of our civil rights.

All of these are the most important reasons why Ron Paul is popular with crossover and new voters. And these are all things that he really can accomplish in a presidency with a Democratically controlled House and Senate.

We're counting on these people to help get the word out, and hopefully even to vote!

Please don't support people who use their media pulpits to belittle and misrepresent our Dr. Paul.
