Ron Paul on Piers Morgan Friday night for FULL HOUR

[bluesc]

And Hannitys usual viewers would consider voting for him after being on his show for 10 minutes?

They wouldn't assume that he has dropped out.

 

[affa]

what state are you in? I hope they aren't running that in Maine or Minnesota....

i'm in Oregon. It was part of the show.

 

[MrGoose]

They wouldn't assume that he has dropped out.

Whateves... In my personal opinion Piers over Hannity was a good choice.

 

[PaleoPaul]

Really?

Check the '88 polls.

Um, he was running third party, remember?

 

[Giuliani was there on 911]

Really?

Check the '88 polls.

well he did run as a libertarian back then. You don't think if you went back in time to 1988 and transported 88 Paul to 2012 that he wouldn't be doing better ?

 

[WD-NY]

That little point needs to be emphasized.

shouldn't the guy who's delivered 4,000+ babies make this point (rather than us, after the fact)?

Summary of interview:

Morgan: "He won't be your next president, here's Ron Paul!"

Morgan: Do you care about poor people?
Paul: Well it's a complex situation involving currency manipulation and- *edit*

Morgan: Would you let uninsured people die?
Paul: I was a doctor, and when I practiced I never- *edit*

Morgan: If your daughter was raped would you be a heartless asshole?
Paul: Now wait, i think- *edit*

Morgan: Thank you for coming on.

No it wasn't.

 

[Giuliani was there on 911]

I think that's a shouting match he'd lose, remember its not the substance, but how loud you can yell.

Plus Hannity and his bozos would spend hours analyzing why "ron paul is crazy"

maybe. But I have seen Hannity lose shouting matches against smarter people before.

Yelling > logic

Logic + yelling > yelling

No because I don't think he'd be in the same position that mellow, peaceful Ron has obtained. He wouldn't have been on multiple boards and wouldn't have garnered as much spot light. If he could bring out that attitude now, since he's already a well-established candidate, yes he'd benefit from being aggressive.

 

[pacelli]

guys relax. Nobody watches Piers Morgan.

That's a shame because the night before Nevada I'd want prime time viewership.

 

[Warmon]

Not a great interview because he was cutoff to frequently, but that line about sending British kids off to die was absolute brilliance! The other positive was there is no mistaking that he is a genuine regular person like us and not a typical politician.

 

[affa]

It's chopped because Piers keeps cutting him off and changing subjects

Yes, Piers is doing that, but they are also editing the conversation. They are very good at seamless editing of dialog, but any time there is a 'sentence break' and then they switch the camera, it's quite possible that dialog hit the cutting room floor. This easiest to achieve by cutting Ron's answer short at the end of a sentence and cutting to Piers asking the next question. There are several places where the editing seemed particularly egregious. 60 Minutes style shows do this sort of editing all the time. In fact, shows have been busted for refilming questions asked slightly differently for effect (for example, asking a question aggressively to get an aggressive answer, then editing in the question asked politely so the interviewee looks crazy).

And then, yes, Piers is interrupting him on top of this.

That said, I really enjoyed the interview.

 

[LisaNY]

^yes, and I'm glad he didn't say anything stupid like rape victims should "make lemonade out of lemons" or that a pregnancy resulting from a rape is a "gift from god".

+reps for the summary. It's what it felt like watching it.

 

[Wolfgang Bohringer]

Ron going on Piers was way better... Hannity is non stop Iran in his forum.

Ron could have pounded them with non-stop facts proving that they're all a bunch of sissy bullies who lie like little girls to frighten Boobus Americanus.

Ron's got to go down into the most sinful pit in Babylon if he's going to run for president of the defunct Babylonian Republic.

 

[kill the banks]

this reruns at 12am et and 3am / 5am et ... might get a few late nighters watching ... thought the idea he was not a pacifist got through ... generally a good look at a good man

 

[pauliticalfan]

I hope our Nevada people are pumped after seeing this interview and turn out in big numbers tomorrow to prove this British fool wrong.
