Ron Paul on Daily Show TONIGHT Monday 9/26

woah - and Colbert has Radiohead on for a full HOUR!? Ron Paul couldn't have picked a better night to do the Daily Show. The viewership is going to be HUGE.
 
I'm amazed that one of the only interviewers I've ever seen engage Ron Paul in a meaningful way about his political philosophy, its real-world applications, and his well thought-out ideas about how to achieve root-and-branch systemic reform is a comedian.

It's kind of depressing, actually.

Stewart gave Paul two segments! That doesn't happen a whole lot on the show unless Stewart finds the guests interesting and "worthy" of more conversation. Not to mention the interview went on for even longer and will be posted on their site. Happy about this.

BTW, don't expect the show/extended interview to be up until tomorrow. That's usually how long it takes (I watch the show online all the time).
 
Let me know when he mocks the Democrats for being too progressive. Until then, he's a smug little prick who is openly bitter than he didn't land a network gig like the original host did.

How can someone be Ron Paul supporter and liberty lover and be so shortminded?! :confused:
 
I thought he did alright but I definitely don't think any of his message would change the minds of anyone.
 
Good interview but I wish he had promoted his candidacy more. He's basically America's only hope for a decent future and I don't think people realize that.

Great - personal attacks. That really makes your case. I am not sure what "shortminded" is, but is it is a synonym for "short sighted" let me opine that Stewart is a partisan hack that led the charge for Obama in 2008. He doesn't lean libertarian, he's not a journalist, and he'll turn on us if we win the primary.

That's prescient, not "shortminded."

Yea I agree some of the questions he asked were questions they had somewhat covered in previous interviews but a bit more depth in this one. But yes this is the type of conversations that should be going on in debates and mainstream media interviews, talking about details of core principles and how they part of our history and how they are applied or not applied today.
 
There is just one point I wish he would have made during the question about regulation and the industrial revolution where Stewart asked if the corporations should be accountable to elected regulators instead of shareholders. Paul made the point that companies colluded back then to pollute, but he should have mentioned that it is the government that allowed them to get away with it. If property rights were enforced those companies would not have gotten away with it. Other than that I thought he did well.
