Responded.

Joke or not, Ron Paul is too classy and mature for this kind of BS.

 

[Chieftain1776]

The title is fair on digg...I don't believe in burying it. I suggest that those so inclined bury any other submissions of this story as duplicate though.

I meant for the video clip of him... and the inflammatory title, but ok.

 

[Cowlesy]

Sacha Baron Cohen is a monumental douchebag for all the bullshit he pulls.

I am surprised he hasn't been harmed in all the stunts he's done. Maybe his implicit thesis that all Americans are animals is incorrect if he hasn't had his skull pounded in yet by some of the people he's tricked or humiliated.

EFFIN morons who work for him. dont they know who Ali G is?
he makes politicians look like morons
wtf?
maybe if they were more up to date
if I was Ron Paul's cos id fire the ass of the person who allowed this to happen. this is unacceptable
sio now they want to smear Ron Paul as a gay man?
yes i know its a comedy show
but this is bad comedy. the kind that youd punch someone in the face for. this really got me pissed. I feel bad for the good Doc

lighten up. I thought Bob Barr was a good sport when it happened to him. And Im sure Ron Paul was a good sport as well.

Im fine with letting 2 million people see Ron Paul's face for the first time.
Even in this context/

This might be a whopping dose of good PR. "Hmmmm, why did they choose Ron Paul?" is the question viewers will ask.

I am sorry, I don't see anything negative from this at all unless Dr Paul handles questions concerning it poorly. It is an opportunity to get name recognition.

Someones comment about using aggression in this case seems very counter to the liberty movement. RP did the right thing by walking out.

Hopefully he has a well rehearsed comical reply for any questions related to this incident.

I agree, this will expose him to millions. His name is already starting to become recognizable to the mainstream, and this will ensure that nearly every American knows who he is.

Someones comment about using aggression in this case seems very counter to the liberty movement. RP did the right thing by walking out.

Ghandi has taught him well

Hopefully he has a well rehearsed comical reply for any questions related to this incident.

This is the best thing RP could possibly do at this point, to combat any negative press he may receive from this.

"He's not my type" :wink:

This.

Yes, let's make SURE we DESTROY the view of Ron Paul as a "real statesman."

Let's make Dr. Paul a LAUGHING STOCK, then whenever there is any SERIOUS consideration of him or his ideas in the future, we'll whip out this little clip and THAT will put a stop to it.

 

[MRoCkEd]

Paul mentioned this when he visited U. Pittsburgh back in April. Forgot about it.

What did he say about it?

 

[georgiaboy]

^MsD, simply ridiculous.

It's called comedy.

It's called comedy.

Most mature adults don't find that kind of humor very funny at all.

 

[georgiaboy]

most mature adults are not the target audience of SBC.

 

[georgiaboy]

if RP feels like he was harmed in any way, he can sue SBC, right?

 

[MRoCkEd]

I don't find Borat or Bruno funny.
Ali G has his moments though.
Here's his interview with Pat Buchanan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwEd_tcKBfU

 

[georgiaboy]

most mature adults would take this for the piece of useless tripe it is and move on.

 

[MRoCkEd]

Oh, and for those saying "I can't believe Dr. Paul got duped..",
these guys are good - they tricked the national guard into letting him go through training exercises the other day.

Don't his handlers do any background checks? If you google, "Bruno" the second entry
is his wikipedia posts & the next are youtube videos.

It's only funny when it's the other guy. Mitt Romney or Guiliani would have been friggin'
hilarious.
