Paul-blogging (I)
The exclusion of Ron Paul by Fox News has created what can only be called an anti-Fox backlash: as a direct result of Fox’s high-handed methods, Ron’s been invited back for his second appearance on the Jay Leno Show—a venue that gives Ron far more exposure than the Bizarro Channel. And on the eve of the New Hampshire primary! You’ll remember last time, when Jay made the best political joke of the season, thus inventing a whole new genre of Ron Paul humor, good-natured yet acerbic. Watch it:
With its unique organizational structure, the Paulian movement has responded to the Fox exclusion rule by effectively saying “Hate Fox? Vote for Paul!” Apparently the Soviet-style “reporting” practiced by Murdoch’s minions has created an entire constituency who can be persuaded on that basis, like anti-abortion voters, gun-owners, and the Israel Lobby. This video is “outreach” to a rapidly growing group of single-issue voters:
I’ll be Paul-blogging—now there’s a cute little coined phrase—all week, what with New Hampshire and all. He’s putting the fear of God in the War Party: that’s what Fox’s heavy-handed tactics are all about. Ron is exposing their game, and beating their boy Giuliani in the process. In the unlikely event that the Paul campaign accomplishes nothing else, this humiliation of the neocons makes the whole enterprise worthwhile.

it’s still frustrating how he’s shut out.

Thanks to the web we can now assemble
without fear of the regime. The right
of assembly is another of those rights
that has been denied for years but it is
breaking out in hyperspace.
The next step for the regime is a method
to equate a Blog with a riot. This brings
up another Paulinan position: Keep the
govt. off the web...Forever.

shouldn’t the press have a natural inclination towards curiosity? people across the country send 20 million dollars to some guy and they don’t want to know why? no story there?

Interesting that the FOX republican Debate had a potmortem meeting where a bunch of people voted on who won the debate. Fred Thompson over Ron Paul? Yeah right.
best moment was when Ron said can I join the debate after the stupid question about 9/11 deniers. Almost as bad as asking “are you still beating your wife”.
The way they also dissed him on the Iran Fast boast question. But Ron should have handled that better. The othercandidateds did say they approved of the non violent end to that but they threatened to blow the boats away if anything else happened. Clearly sabre rattling of the worst kind.
Thought it was exactly my point of view when Ron said 4 tiny boats arre attacking the US Navy? I mean its a destroyer we can blow that little boat away in 5 seconds.
But Britt Hume was on a mission to ridicule Ron Paul.
