I hope I'm not the only one who read that as "licks" instead of "kicks" at first.

:o

 

[Chester Copperpot]

theres a good one of this entire exchange where everytime Ron makes a hit.. the video goes "bam" right into lauras face.. can never find it now,. hehe

 

[low preference guy]

listened to it again (after a year?). loved it again. RP totally pwned her.

 

[satchelmcqueen]

wow! he was pissed!

 

[mczerone]

LOL: @ 2:41, she's so obviously losing the argument about war in Iraq, she pulls "Should we go back to the gold standard?" out of her ass.

It's as if she had show-notes pre-printed with "When Ron starts to make sense to you, ask this carefully crafted question" listed. It's a question asked to paint a picture, and it was prepared.

She's bought and paid for, no doubt about it.

 

[Juan McCain]

wow! he was pissed!

Nah . . only at first really . . . it's funny.

Laura realizes she has her hands full taking RP on and it morphs into
questions that she asks and Ron Paul gets to explain with his ideology and position very well.

It comes away almost like he's kinda won her over almost,
at least Laura thinking to her self "Damn this is a smart guy".

Laura then gets in the . . . thank your supporters for not pelting me with snowballs like the other Fox people.

Gotta love this . . . always welcomed and well worth the listen in again . . .
Thanks.

Did Laura Ingraham seriously just ask Ron Paul why he hasn't been to Iraq. Why the F would he go to Iraq. Hes a congressman from Texas What business would he have in Iraq? If she would have done her homework she would know that Ron Paul received more donations from the military than any other candidate democrat or republican.
If there is one thing I cannot stand it's these politicians who go to Iraq or Afghanistan to "visit the troops" THEY DON'T VISIT THE TROOPS. They don't experience the reality of the situation on the ground. Southern Avenger said it best when he mentioned that they (Lindsey Graham, McCain) go to the dog and pony shows to eat lunch and get their pictures taken with the general staff in their camouflage fatigues in a pathetic attempt to look tough. They then come back claiming that they did their part in supporting the troops-then proceed to come back and speak for the troops in the elections. "CONGRESSMAN, The word is LET US WIN!!!...yeah right. Then the masses proceed to chant USA USA. These politicians don't support the troops and slapping a yellow ribbon on your car so you can feel good about yourself "supporting the troops" does not make one a patriot.

This is the Ron Paul we need to come to the debates. He came at her and came at her hard with good points.

Keep in mind that the host of a national radio or talk show is most often NOT the main party in charge of the content. Not even the producer is really in charge, it's the people ABOVE "the show," which is viewed as a package provided by the on-air performer and producer. Much of the time they get fed talking points and lines of questioning into their ear, which end up being the stilted question or biased set-up we experience when catching these shows.

Guest selection is also subject to approval by the parties above the actual show---if Medina or anybody real get on at all, it's mainly because management cleared it, and it serves their purposes towards building credibility for pushing their agenda ("see, we're fair and balanced, after all, we had Medina on, didn't we?").

He had some fire in him when he said 'that is the reason they come here!'

@1:21

She's not that quick on the uptake.

Once I heard her say something about "John McCain shooting his wad all over." She got infuriated when her staff laughed at her and she couldn't figure out why. (She meant that John was running his mouth but had no idea of the connotations of "shooting ones wad."

Another time she read an email she disagreed with from an address that said "Ben Dover." Then she said the guy signed a fake name "John Long." Again she got mad when her staff started laughing at her. Both times the staff tried explaining the meaning of the terms in a way appropriate for the FCC. It was comedy in itself.

Mentally she's slow, but good at reading talking points for TPTB

I can't stand her show, I'd rather have an ice pick stabbed into my ear drums.

This was the first time I actually watched that video: Do we have a "where are they now" with the other people in it? Who was the militant pin-filled beret wearing white elitist chick?

It's really a study in Humanism: you don't have to be right, you just have to play bully, be loud, and ostracize dissenters to carry a crowd.

Do we have a "where are they now" with the other people in it? Who was the militant pin-filled beret wearing white elitist chick?

Charlie Rangel - washed up has-been convicted of House ethics violations.

Ron Paul - leader of massive grass-roots conservative insurgency. His star was never brighter.

Not going to bother listening to it, I'm sure I know what in it. I'm no fan of hers, but I do recall like one rare time I heard here she and some conservative anti-interventionists on, and did give them some respect. I think she at least sees where we're coming from. So on the terrible scale I'd put her just better than Hannity. Not that I'm trying to really defend her, just I was surprised when I heard that from her.

She is a Fox News reporter just research her name.

She was fair to him though, gotta give her that.

Other than threatening to cut his mic, and spending the entire interview in gotcha-interrogation-mode, while trying to extract a negative sound bite, yes, pretty fair
