Top story on Mediaite right now and on a few other big sites.

That was one of the better smackdowns I've seen from Ron in a while. Totally threw that stuff back in Halperin's face, made him look like a fool.

LOL. Halperin has a blog on time.com called The Page, and there is a short blurb about the exchange this morning with a cut-up clip not showing Paul's full answer and the following commentary making it seem like Paul was evading the question:

And/but: Texan tells Mark Halperin on "Morning Joe" he wouldn't put the program "on the list," hedges when asked directly if he would eliminate the program.

Calls question "a distraction."

Watch the colloquy above.

That's pretty shady. Paul's whole point was that Halperin wasn't listening to his full answer, so Halperin goes ahead and posts a cut-up clip on his blog still not showing the full answer.

Looks like its time to dog up dirt on halperin and post it across the internet.
 
my mom saw this exchange and called me specifically to tell me about it.

she's so disgusted by the media. she's always disliked people like Rush and O'Reilly (my dad listens to them), but after i helped point things out to her about the media and their treatment of Ron Paul, she now watches the news (and even the history channel when my dad's watching it) with a very critical ear. :D
 
"i don't know what your goal is"

i do...to spin your words and get it on front page of msnbc...check it out...

Ron Paul "Why head start should be unconstitutional".

I think maybe Ron picked up that trick from his son. Ron kinda sounded like Rand in that interview.
 
From The Blaze: Ron Paul Has Testy Exchange on MSNBC: You‘re ’Putting Words in My Mouth’

They use the word 'testy' so much when reporting on Paul it's starting to make my balls hurt. I think Colbert had a good segment on the media overusing the word 'testy'...
 
The media is still clinging to the idea that they can outmaneuver the likes of the serf class by using their own media outlets. It isn't working because we are able to take their full words and expose them for very very little money and effort. This won't force them to be honest, but it will force them to be more subliminal in their goals in the future. The final blow will be taking someone they really pretend to respect, and having them admonish the anchors to their face on the topic. These acts destroy the credibility of the establishment. They get away with it with Rand Paul because at the end of the day people can just say "Well Ron Paul is his daddy after all, of course he will say that."
 
Depressing comments at meditate... what fantasy land are those people living in....

take it fwiw:

Ok, I want to clear my conscious a little. Hopefully you could make a blog post to help some fellow clinton supporters out.

I work for a campaign and can’t wait for this week to be over.

I was doing it for a job. I was not a fan of any candidate but over time grew to love HRC.

The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you.

We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”

We do this to stifle your motivation and to destroy your confidence.

We did this the whole primary and it worked.

Sprinkle in mass vote confusion and it becomes bewildering. Most people lose patience and just give up on their support of a candidate and decide to just block out tv, news, websites, etc.

This surprisingly has had a huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues.

Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support.

People makes posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad”

Thats the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending.

We have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over. Just enough to make real clear politics look scarey to a mccain supporter. Its worked, alough the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead.

see, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, become “sheeple”

The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. Thats due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple.

Our donors, are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied, Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. And trust, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible. Watch Bill Oreilly he has become much more diplomatic and “fair and balanced” and soft. Its because he wants to retain the #1 spot on cable news and to do that he has to have access to the Obama campaign and we worked hard at stringing him a long and keeping him soft for an interview swap. It worked and now he is anticipating more access. So he is playing it still soft.

This is why nothing sticks.

The operation is massive, the goal is to paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results.

There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up.

Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral. We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all.

There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm.

The truth is here. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

I am saying this because I know HRC was better for the country, and now realize this. I was too late by the time I connected to her. To me Barack was just a cool young dude that seemed like a star. I didn’t know him or his policies, but now I understand more than I care to and I realize his interests are more for him, and the DNC and all working like puppets with dean. I always thought a president wanted the better good for the country. The end result I see is everyone dependent on the government, this means more and more people voting for the DNC. This means the future is forever altered. I don’t see this as america, so I am now supporting John Mccain...

Perfect response from Ron! The media has overplayed their bias against him, and everyone knows it. At this point, everyone understands his response, and many, especially conservatives, cheer it!
