Video update - Ron Paul on Piers Morgan Tonight 1/4/12

[KingNothing]

Huntsman's a good guy, Ron's a great guy and neither seemed to really care about the tweet. It's a joke, everyone. Lighten up!

 

[Boss]

Yes and no

This YT dude spends 80% of his discussion ridiculing RP, then goes on to agree with RP.

Dudes a lame.

Did you really just post this vid to substantiate that the twitter thing is an issue? Even the weak YT dude agrees its a non-issue, lol

 

[TomtheTinker]

Someone who is resnsible for tweets was probably thought they were signed in with a personal account when they made the tweet. I feel bad for whoever it was. Why the heck do these MSM people obsess about things like this?

because if they didn't talk about nonsense they would be forced to address serious issues such as 15 trillion of debt created by politicians they put in office

Sure, agrees it`s a non-issue but still make whole video segment about it. This is the stuff that gets ratings.
But strangely, I think this is positive when you think about it. It basically gives credit to the claim that Paul didn`t write those newsletters and that he doesn`t believe that racist stuff.

Think this actually helped a lot.

Did all of you really just wring your hands for 10 pages over a funny tweet?

Get over it nobody cares.

Its not that we care, its the media that will shove it down people's throat for a 3 days to call Ron's management tactics into question.

Yes, but maybe it doesn't "give credit to the claim that Paul didn't write those newsletters". But the RP detractors are now going after Paul for not being a good manager, and using the newsletters and twitter incident as examples, thus implicitly acknowledging RP didn't write them. So the racist charge should be out of bounds for them now.

Plus it shows to the people just looking at RP for the 1st time how petty his detractors are.

I don't see why the Twitter thing was a big deal, I thought it was kind of funny.

Did you get the Huntsman part on the other side?

 

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

HOLY CRAP

I've never seen such a huge amount of alarmists in my life as I have seen on this forum. A tweet? Seriously? You guys think a freaking TWEET is going to be the downfall of this campaign? Good gravy. Huntsman doesn't even care, and it was about him. You guys need to fucking collect yourselves.

+1. I wish some of these people would log off for good. They simply don't have the heart for a fight and are just dragging the spirit of the board down.

 

[steph3n]

Chicken little says de sky iz fallin!

FAIL WHALE!!!!! FAIL WHALE!

 

[socal]

Thanks, one of RP's best interviews. He's definitely improving.

Maybe someone can update the title showing there's a YT video avail.

 

[Revolution9]

That went good i think

Well it must have because you have been nervous nellied out about almost everything lately

Ron's answer to the Twitter thing was TERRIBLE.

1. Rule #1 in social media, take responsibility when you are wrong
2. He didn't take responsibility for his staff's action
3. Because he didn't apologize and state that he did not take corrective action to prevent it from occurring again, the story just got bigger
4. Additionally, he opened the door to Piers follow up about Ron not knowing what his staff is doing

Huntsman just stated "You'd think he would have learned about ghostwritten letters by now" - which the media will use even though he followed up as a gentleman after it.

Sadly, Huntsman's first answer is spot on.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS.

Sadly, the guy we all think is humble old Ron is genetically incapable of apologizing and moving on. He owns every bit of nonsense that others do in his name. How f'ing hard would it have been to just say he was glad it was taken down because it was unworthy of his message. How freaking hard is that? Seriously.

Ron had the perfect opportunity to look like the good guy we all know he is. What is wrong with this picture that he just couldn't do it?

It hasn't been taken down. And according to RP's spokesman Gary Howard, "It was our tweet. We said what we wanted to say."
