Ron just owned Huckabee on Fox

[burningfur]

This can work in another way, it might just drive Huckabee supporters to actually RESEARCH their candidate and they might just find out the truth...

Either way, score.

I just did a search online for this, and this crap is what I found...

Well, gee whiz, I can search too and find a lot of junk from detractors from way back.

It's been happening forever in this campaign and it most likely won't stop.

We've risen above EVERY attack and we will CONTINUE to do so.

How about a move to hot topics so this thread will not be on the front page?

It's getting ridiculous up in here.

 

[TheEvilDetector]

Well, no wonder you're upset. I didn't say anything like that and neither did Ron say anything like you're upset about.

I was being slightly sarcastic, because I felt you were being way way over-confident referring to Huck's 3 supporters.

 

[Mark]

Of the two people, I would believe the guy that got voted to Congress 10 times knows what he is doing versus the anonymous internet forum poster.

It is kinda trollish behavior. I'll think positively thank you and move on now.

 

[SeanEdwards]

Yeah faux news was uncomfortable because they've been following Sinclair Lewis's guidance for creating a fascist America since forever.

I was asked to provide a response, so I did.

Just so you know, no human being on earth is above making a mistake.

I believe Ron Paul is 99.9% correct in the things he says, but just not this time.

He is not wrong on factual ground necessarily, for Huckabee may indeed be a fascist.

In my opinion he is wrong in the sense that this can change the dialogue in a way that
may not be very helpful to him in the future and something he may struggle with.

It's as simple as that for me in this case.

Have you guys ever searched google images for Ron Paul?

I've seen hundreds of pictures making fun of him while looking for good pics.



I agree with Mark, can a mod get this crap out of here.



He said it. Yes, he went there.



Can we just move on already?

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

It's not trollish behavior to say that Ron Paul probably knows a little bit more about politics than some guy on an internet forum. Ron Paul is a pretty smart guy, and I don't know why everyone thinks he's this stupid political rookie! He knows exactly what he's doing and saying! The man is an M.D., he knows more about economics than all of the other candidates combined, he's well read, he's a 10 term Congressman who has won 3 times as the non-incumbent. What Ron Paul said today was absolute genius. It will create attention which is good and he's speaking the truth like he always does!

 

[Harry96]

This might be my favorite single moment from the campaign this year. I laughed out loud at it, and it made my whole day. It took the interviewer about five seconds of stuttering and stammering to come up with a response, and when they cut to a wide-shot of the other two, you could see them squirming uncomfortably on the couch. LOL!

 

[Revolution9]

He should have played this by switching it to his message and staying out of candidate implications to loaded words.

For example:

"That's an interesting ad, I haven't really scrutinised this ad before, as I have had a very busy campaign which has been raising millions of dollars due to the powerful and uniting message of liberty. I am not sure what Huckabee's philosophy might be when it comes to religion, but personally I view it as more or less a private affair, although certainly my religious views being a christian are no secret to anyone who bothers to ask or to do a bit of simple research."

Thank the lord you are not writing for RP.. That was the worst pandering skipskitter answer he could possibly have given. A whole lot of blah blah blah and no effing substance. You fail

Randy

 

[Revolution9]

WTF? Why did he say that? Maybe he is tired today. That was a mistake....

A christian fascist may think so.


I think he kicked royal ass and had the jaws on the floor.

Thanks Randy for your harsh criticism.

I have always respected your razor sharp literary wit and while brief in the quote above you pulled out a creative punch with the skipskitter remark.

You know what, maybe I am wrong, I do have an open mind, despite being outnumberd 100 to 1 and feeling defensive.

I will say this despite my instincts to the contrary:

I look forward to seeing Dr Paul bring out the true nature for the other candidates in the future if he is prompted by MSM reporters.

I will try not to worry that MSM may make a big deal out of this type of conversation.

Exactly. Here's an interview from 1988, Ron Paul brilliantly shines then as he does now (has since changed his views on the death penalty):

I have not read the whole thread, but saw the vid.

It is a risky statement that can be used against RP, HOWEVER, RP has been ignored SO much by the old media that if this gets him face time to explain this and other positions, I'm all for it.

Also, Glenn Beck HATES Huck with a passion for Huck's negative staements about Mormons - Beck is Mormon. This can only help RP going into the Beck interview tonight. It will be talked about, RP will put a good spin on it, and it may cause Beck to be a little softer on RP on foreign policy, though I still expect Beck to go after him. However, this one statement will change the whole Beck interview as it will be a part of it and Beck will give him sympathy by asking rational questions on the topic because he hates Huck. RP's response should be along the lines of the Fox interview - religion plays a role in most peoples lives - including the candidates, but it should not be a basis for getting elected president. That is what fascism is: "Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, racial, and religious attributes".

You are wrong (IMO)on pushing and pushing this. I understood your answers but after twenty posts of the same thing..Jeesh.. Pick your battles better friend. I think you got caught up in feeling defensive...and like RP..you are a fighter..with scruples..

Best Regards

I think your absolutely right, this is going to get people watching glen beck just to see what he says. Glen will most probably like him for saying this so he will get time to explain where he was coming from. I hope hucks bubble is about to burst.

 

[ClayTrainor]

Woo! That was awesome

Anyone got the rest of the interview?

To be honest Randy, I felt it was weird to see almost no dissenting views and since I held that view and there hardly was anyone else, I wanted to address some of the points made by others and give my point of view a decent showing. That is all.

I could be wrong, in fact I hope I am wrong, but I will not betray my conscience.

Time will tell.

No matter the disagreement, most important thing is for Ron to be in the Whitehouse

 

[ronpaulitician]

I'm looking forward to seeing this storyline unfold.

It could definitely backfire. Huck seems to have a solid grasp on a certain segment of the religious right. However, if Paul is given time to explain his comment, I think it could also be the statement that can really boost his polling numbers.
