Ron Paul on Piers Morgan Friday night for FULL HOUR

[Tod]

Piers was quick to switch topics and it looked like Paul thought he was being a little too quick, but I thought Paul answered everything pretty darn well. Could have, should have pointed out that conception takes a while to happen..

Whats Piers twitter

Not during the Republican primaries when you're being completely ignored by the Republican media.

Why are you being so negative... I thought the interview was fine. A one hour interview all about Paul or a time slot split between 4 candidates.

I'm getting caught up on the interview. I'm noticing a lot of editing. Ron was beginning to discuss letters or marque and reprisal and was abruptly cut off. Next hes talking about WW2. I wonder if they do this purposely.

i wonder when they don't do it

 

[oilboiler]

Lot of screwball questions, obviously trying to trip him up, but Ron handled them perfectly. The voice of reason.

 

[MsDoodahs]

I thought it was excellent.

And now that I've seen a Morgan show, I totally understand why his ratings suck, lol....

I liked the interview. Good, challenging questions. It was obvious Piers was short on time, but to give Paul 40 minutes (considering commercials) is fantastic. Paul made a few statements that I thought cold be spun easily. One, to paraphrase: "Why don't the british send their kids to die? (referring to protecting Israel). We should send some thanks to Piers for giving a fair interview, despite his obvious disagreements with Paul on issues like socialized healthcare, bailouts and what else.

of course they show the shittiest poll for NV

No one in Nevada was watching this. Maine, maybe. That is where the medicare thing and not explaining how his program works can hurt.

 

[zHorns]

I thought it was a decent interview. It was interesting hearing about Paul's personal life, since it's not often asked.

Stop being so negative.

 

[JWRIDDLER]

Awful interview on P. Morgan part. Whats the point of having an interview if all you do is interrupt and ask another question while your guest is right in the middle of answering your original question?! Must be a British thing...or just a neo-con/lib thing...

Because it was on a show on CNN that is watched by Democrats who do not vote in Republican primaries.

that was not remotely a fair interview.

 

[Giuliani was there on 911]

I wish Ron would go on Hannity and be aggressive and confrontational with him. I'm sure everyone's seen the video of him on Mort's in 1988. He's a completely different person now. 1988 Ron Paul would probably be leading in the polls today.

lol....

That is a good one!

And true, too!

People at the pub couldn't wait to turn on Maddow after the interview was over lol.

Conception does not occur automatically. It can take as many as 5 days to conceive.

That little point needs to be emphasized.

 

[pauliticalfan]

"Ron Paul will not win" reference? Check.
False tweet from Piers Morgan about abortion beforehand? Check.
Old poll showing the worst possible result? Check.
Constant interruptions and gotcha questions? Check.
Heavy editing? Check.

This was not a good interview. Paul saying he's neutral on gay marriage, defending Achmadinejad, and saying he's on the side of Occupy Wall Street, while legitimate arguments, are not how you win a Republican Primary. I love Ron because he's a horrible politician, but there's unfortunately a price to pay that goes along with that.

Oh, and Ron's line about criminals was brilliant.

Really?

Check the '88 polls.

 

[MrGoose]

Because it was on a show on CNN that is watched by Democrats who do not vote in Republican primaries.

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

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"
