I sure am glad he took that phone call.

Paul defines honesty in starkly ideological terms. You're "honest" if you agree with him, or attack people he disagrees with. But if you believe in liberal causes, or support Democratic politicians, you are by definition some nefarious agenda-driven hack who doesn't care about the truth.
Do you mind if i interrupt to ask where he's said that?
This isn't a jibe or challenge. I just like a man who doesn't give fucking slippery answers and this dude seems to be the first politician i have seen in my life who doesn't give slippery answers. You're implying he's slippery, and i don't want to fall for it, so i would appreciate enlightenment.


I took that from this, starting around 0:53:

The more liberal stations some of them wouldn't dare want to talk to me because their agenda is Democratic party politics and they're not for liberty, they're just for Democratic party politics and big government. But even on those stations, you will have a few very honest people.

Which is followed by his comments about Stewart being "honest" because "when the left really messes up, he loves to go and get 'em." Because apparently it's rare that liberals ever deviate from just toeing the line on "Democratic party politics".

Because, you know, nobody like Olbermann, or Maddow, or Cenk Uygur, or Ed Shultz, or Lawrence O'Donnell, or Sam Seder, or Thom Hartmann, and nobody on blogs, or anywhere else has ever "gone after" Democrats for screwing up.

Granted, I didn't get my entire view of Ron Paul from this video alone. I've been listening to this guy off and on for years now.

I guess I know Paul best from the Campaign for Liberty e-mail list. See, way back in 2007, I used to think Paul was a different kind of Republican -- a softer, kinder, more honest sort, who would be willing to work with liberals on important issues, so I signed up for his e-mail list. Back then, the e-mail he sent out matched that first impression.

At least, they did right up until Obama became President. Ever since it's been 3 years of pure vitriol and hatred. Here's some highlights from one from earlier this year:

Fellow Patriot,

Big Government took a huge leap forward in 2010. And you and I will suffer the consequences unless we take action today.

You see, the statists look for every opportunity to gain more power over our lives – and they found another one in the ObamaCare scheme.

It is a huge step toward a full takeover of our personal medical decisions, as well as a massive tax increase and a huge loss of liberty. It will also cause further destruction to our already fragile economy.
...
Please read the email below from Campaign for Liberty President John Tate. Campaign for Liberty has a great plan to help me win this fight, but they are going to need every Patriot in our Revolution to join them.
...
[Letter from John Tate that Paul wants us to read]
Dear NetRunner,

The ObamaCare scheme is designed to do two things statists love more than anything else: vastly increase the size and power of government and give our federal masters more control over our personal business.

Power over our very lives.

It's getting harder and harder for them to conceal their true intentions - and people are waking up to it.

You and I saw the results of this in the recent elections, giving us an opportunity to take action.

Ron Paul has a plan to fight back and END THE MANDATE, but Campaign for Liberty needs your help today to get the battle really moving.

You see, the debate over nationalized health care isn't about what Congress wants to "give" Americans.

It's not even about health care at all.

It's about power.

It's about what THEY take.

It's always been about what they take.

And their "take" is staggering.

Delightful bunch of two-faced psychopaths, if you ask me.

Also just in: Cenk Uygur refuses to pay punch-in-the-face taxes.

As a tool of the establishment, MSNBC has blood on their hands.
Americans are entirely held hostage to this bullshit information vaccuum that is supposed to be the 4th estate. it's only role is to divide, placate, lie to us and sell us shit.
the public needs to hear how they operate.

this comment is a perfect example of what they want you to think. it's why they allow children to grow up thinking "ill just keep my head down and shut up and these other kids won't make fun of me anymore".
>> ^critical_d:

Anyone who considers themselves a tiger so aren't. I also think that bitching about a former employer in public is a bit tasteless. Ok,if your former boss has 4 bodies in the freezer then feel free to vent out loud. He tries a little too hard in proving his point and that seems odd.

Surely you need a bit of a balance there, a lot of daily media is a reactionary representation of the feelings of the people and a Government that focuses on that is inherently short sighted.

(I read into your comment that you thought the converse of what you said was true; if that's not the case feel free to ignore me )>> ^Duckman33:

Since when is it a reporters job to make Washington happy? Just another reason why I don't watch these "news" stations.

Please don't say things I agree with and disagree with in the same comment. It's very selfish as it means I can't up- or down-vote the comment. </sarc>>> ^bcglorf:

Hurray!
Of course, I consider Cenk a watered version of Glen Beck for the extreme left.
Good riddance, I never figured guys like him belonged on a major network anyways. Mind you, there's about a hundred guys at Fox I'd rather see gone first...

Ha ha ha u dum.

Uh - the short answer is because you're a talentless, mumble-mouthed, ignoramous. There that took all of 2 seconds. Cenk. Sank. Sunk. That's what MSNBC gets for hiring a dufus off the internet rather than an actual journalist, or even an actual broadcaster. Angry blog rants don't require talent. Being an on-air personality does.


Dude, his numbers went up! You may not like the guy's presentation style, but your implication about that being the cause of his departure is obviously contrary to reality. But I guess you're accustomed to holding opinions that are contrary to reality.
