Ron Paul going on Opie & Anthony?

id strongly suggest that this is one interview that ron shouldnt be in. please someone with influence with pauls people, let them know this is a BAD idea. this will only make paul either look foolish or just plain un presidential. we dont need a morton downy jr type thing now from these guys.

Why do you say that? They have libertarians on all the time. Penn, Rogan, Stanhope, etc. Lordy, Alex Jones is a regular on the show and he always has a great time with the guys.

Don't forget Bill Burr, he voted for him. They're friends with half of Ron Paul's celebrity supporters. lol

oh! right! I forgot about Burr.

I just watch Let It Go on Friday. I laughed out loud many times, one of which was when he was impersonating his potential son saying "Daddy keeps money in the walls because he doesn't trust banks!"
 
I actually think it's not a bad idea for Ron to go into an unfriendly territory. If he's on his game and calls them out on the bullcrap, he'd be planting the seed of liberty with what could be unlikely sources. They may fight it at first, but I do believe people do come around eventually. And Ron's a wise old owl, he can take of himself.

The more I think about it, the more I think it might actually be a waste of time. Those guys push libertarian talking points constantly, and their guests constantly do the same. Further, their target audience, males aged 18-40, are already pretty solidly supporting Paul.

That said, I'm sure they'd give Ron a VERY fair shake and that they'd come away from the interview singing his praises even more than they already do.


Some Jim Norton tweets recently:
"Ron Paul won overwhelmingly (54%). Does it mean anything? Maybe. Am I a douche for answering my own question? Absolutely."

"Watching Ron Paul clips. He seems to really know his $h*^. He is answering specific questions smartly. His suit fits poorly. I like him."

"I think Ron Paul is a smart guy, answered questions brilliantly. But I will never support someone that thinks evolution is wrong."

"“@JasonLCox: Who cares if he believes Jesus rode dinosaurs? If he can fix this country, he can f&^* my mother for all I care.”- Good point"

"What I DO like about Ron Paul is that he answers questions directly. I guess i'm up in the air. Enough politics, I need my @%^ eaten."
 
Ahahaha, I love it. He won't go on O'Reilly's show because he's not journalistic enough, but he'll go on Opie and Anthony.
 
started from the beginning of this Live From the Compound show, and I just got to the part where Ant hinted at the Ron Paul interview. Sounds like he's really excited for it and considers Ron to be a nice get. In-studio, to boot! That really would be wonderful.
 
They ambushed Ventura, no doubt they'll do the same with RP. I would decline.
 
Anthony seems to agree with 98% of ron paul's stances, but he nonetheless sticks to the usual "he has some good ideas, but he's a lunatic" response whenever ron paul is brought up.

The problem is that he approaches politics from a mainstream perspective and prefers to believe the mainstream media over all else because he attributes popularity with credibility. Due to this, he believes that muslims hate us for our freedoms instead of them hating us because we bomb the hell out of them. He likely won't change his mind on this issue either because it's so deeply entrenched in his world view.

Unfortunately you've just described how most conformist Republicans think.

They didn't ambush Ventura. He went on and acted like an asshole for a couple hours, then turned into a bully. He was atrocious.

They'd be fine to Ron.
 
Listen, I like O&A and listen to them regularly, but I really don't feel the show is a good forum for his ideas (same with the Howard Stern show). Take a listen to how they treated a supporter in 2008... granted this is their shtick so it comes with the territory, but like i said.... not a good forum

Steve from Yellowstone is always fun. Goddam, I love that show.
I've talked to Ant at length about Paul. He takes Ron seriously and appreciates most of his stances, but is put off by your typical Paul supporter. Jim will most likely vote for Paul. He's said as much multiple times on air, and cited folks like Joe Rogan for influencing his opinion. Opie is apolitical and leans towards "common sense" politicians. They'd be great to Ron.

+1

O'Reilly is a clown & deserving of nothing but contempt. If I were Ron I wouldn't go on that disrespectful, anti-intellectual, chicken hawk's show either.
