Ron Paul Caller on Rush

[billv]

The caller called up, wanted to talk about Ron Paul. Rush said there wasn't much time. Rush basically says, 7,6,5...not much time left, what can I say about Ron Paul. Ron Paul, Ron Paul...

Then he went to break. Unless he says something after the break, he's a jackass.

 

[billv]

Yep, no mention after the break. Jackass.

Rush is on our side. He just can't say so yet because the party's so pro-war.

I gave up on rush in the early to mid '90's. There was some feminist study that he was blabbering on about. I didn't necessarily agree with his position, but he was not above using half truths and omissions to get to his point.

I found myself needing to correct people I agreed with, because they were getting all their information from him.

When has Rush ever been on our side? He is a pro-war spokesperson for neocons and whenever Dr. Paul's name comes up, he mocks him (like it looks like he did here.)

Yeah, it's "Open Line Friday"

I hope someone can take advantage of the chance to talk about Ron Paul. I'll keep listening. I don't see how they can get away with totally avoiding the man for so long. The bias is so obvious.

Cite your source for Rush mocking Ron Paul. I contend that he has been very careful not to mock Ron Paul.

hmmmm very interesting. Last night I went out with the philly meetup to a rush speech. We handed out slim jims to the crowd, and about 50% of them either already liked, or were very interested in learning more about Ron Paul. Overall, it went very well.

Some nice people attending the show even gave some of our meet up members FREE tickets (they cost 80$ a piece)

I'm sure Rush noticed half of his audience holding Ron Paul slim jims in thier hands!

He better pledge his allegence quick, because we'll be less forgiving once we've gained critical mass. Ignoring Ron Paul until then is a mistake, regardless of Rush's closet 'beliefs'.

P.S. Does anyone else here think it's CREEPY when these talk show hosts go up to Washington for a "briefing" with Bush?

It seems they go up there to get their marching orders. Then they come back and say it's all hush-hush, and they can't talk about it. Makes me wonder...

nah he's not. He's pro torture, pro wiretapping, pro pre emptive war. The only thing he agrees with Ron Paul on is economic policy. He's a quasi-neocon.

ahh.. how about.. hmmmmmmm .. .. the call we are discussing for one.

The party has left us.....if you told Ronald Regan 30 years ago that the republican front runners for president were anti gun and the like,,, he would have laughed at you. Rush can stand with them as the drift further left he if he likes.....but another 30-40 years he'll be standing with the conservative communist instead of the communist....because there better than the other alternative. I say make a stand now or keep drifting until the constitution is a forgotten peice of paper illegal to mention in this great land.

Ok here is how to get on the line with him.

Talk about the draft Al Gore movement. The media is trying to say his campaign is picking up steam. Mention how many "Draft Al Gore" meetups there are, and then say "Ron Paul has ten times that. I guess the media doesn't want to talk about a conservative having massive grassroots support- but are more than willing to talk on and on about a phoney environmentalist and his phoney online support. The internet already has a candidate, Ron Paul."

He said callers can discuss "pretty much" whatever they want.

Key words: pretty much

nah he's not. He's pro torture, pro wiretapping, pro pre emptive war. The only thing he agrees with Ron Paul on is economic policy. He's a quasi-neocon.

One of the most critical components of neoconservatism is favoring social programs. Rush is a traditional conservative who has lost his way. I suspect he's watching Ron Paul Youtube videos late at night when nobody's watching.

Well, as soon as they came back from this briefing they turned up the ANTI _IRAN rhetoric, and put the brakes on the anti-immigration rhetoric. This was right after the immigration bill fiasco.

I don't know if you've heard of "hard breaks", but they're non-negotiable. That's also not mockery.

It is vital that we get Rush's listeners on our side. No matter how much we disagree with them, calling them names and such does not help. Please swallow your pride and be respectful to him and his audience for the time being, and an endorsement may be coming.
