Sean Hannity Flees from Ron Paul Supporters
By John Amato Sunday Jan 06, 2008 4:30pm
Ron Paul supporters were yelling " FOX News Sucks" and chasing after Sean Hannity the other night. "Hey Hannity, how about an interview?" "We're not falling for it anymore" "You suck Sean"...FNC shut out Ron Paul from their Republican Presidential forum on Sunday which angered many supporters of his campaign.
Ron Paul got 10% of the vote in Iowa. That's not chump change and Paul is at 10% in NH polls at this point so there really was no excuse for Chris Wallace to cut him out. And how would that extra 10% look on Fredrick of Hollywood or Huckabee's totals in NH?

I loved the guy that yelled "we're great americans, you aren't"!!
I love how the young people are getting involved in both Dr. Paul's, and Senator Obama'a cause.
I Hope this doesn't put any Ron Paul people in a bad light, though honestly, does anybody like Hannity?
Nobody can argue that he doesn't deserve some heckling and there were no real threats of violence.
But I have to say, we Ron Paul people are taking it to the streets in a way democrats never have.
vote Ron Paul and end the war!!!!
Is this the United States?
here are some people that will get off the couch and get CONFRONTATIONAL.
how confrontational will YOU get when the emergent fascism becomes fully revealed?
Oh God I laughed so hard after watching that I gave myself a hernia!
Now I'm off to the emergency room to beg for treatment.
See Hanity run away like a little girl. priceless.
Yeah,Robin, this STILL IS Amaraka. And thank you to each and every one of you people for showing this arrogant tool that we are on to them. It's about time! I tell ya, this touched me to my core. I would have joined them had I been there. We MUST speak out, it's time to shout, long, long overdue.
Bang them pots and pans.
Who let the dogs out?
that made my decade.
Hahahaha what goes round comes round.
Robin @ 3:
No its not. Its only a propagandized version of what the US once was. The idea of a shining city on a hill has been replaced with an aggressive war-starting bully and occupier that fabricates evidence to justify its wars, attacks its own legislators with anthrax to send a message...
and some say... 9/11...well.... you get the drift.
Sean Hannity ran away like a scared girl? Big, bad, tough, "me and my friends kicked that one guy's ass" Sean Hannity?
Must have been an Army recruiter among the Ron Paul supporters.
Robin @ 3:
It's a very angry and pissed off Populace
Those are real GREAT AMERICANS.
I have to say, this is a good time.
I love to see Republicans realize how FULL OF IT Fox News has been from day one.
They claim to be for the little man, but Fox-Rush-Drudge are the elites they always accuse our side of being.
Now where was BillO and his factor camera to record this delightful demonstration?
Everyone of them was correct. Sucks is exactly the right word.
I wonder if the Neocons are getting it yet?
This was probably reminiscent of Sean in 7th grade running from the guys (and girls) who took the glasses off his face and stepped on them. What a gutless pussy.
Damn, a torch and pitchfork salesman woulda made a fortune!
Truth B Told @ 11:
Perfect!
Tim in Japan @ 12:
Mean spirited comment, true but mean as truth often is.
Why do people in crowds constantly revert to yelling "woooo!"? They had me until then.
Oh yeah, Fox News Sucks.
All I can say is it sure is a good thing Sean was wearing a dark suit...I'm sure it hid the urine trail real well. Wouldn't want to go back on the air and let all the Hannitites find out that "Mr. Macho" just wet his pants while running away like the nine year old girl he really is!
Bob @ 1:
That was the comment that really had me rolling.
This is we are pissed

Same guy in Sept...at 3:45
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYLVgMF9R9g&feature=related
Who is this guy?
His new name is Sean "Cut and Run" Hannity.
What is the explanation that Ron Paul was excluded? It was great to watch Hannity run away.. but tried to look so cool going into the building at the end. Were these republicans actually decrying FAUX news?? Do you think they've finally opened their eyes to the treachery Fox perpetuates? Sad.. now they will begin to eat their own.
Funny, it takes a few loony Paulistas to do what the lefties should have done seven years ago. Guess they were too busy tending to their bongs.
Good on you, Paulistas. Watching that piece of shit hannity run with his tail between his legs was long overdue.
Karma is a motherfucker, Sean.
Big tough guy left the woman in his "entourage" in the dust! She had the guts to turn around and tell the mob to "stop it" but he just kept on trudging along! Would have loved to hear the talk in his room after that. Probably, sadly, along the lines of ignorant NH-ites!
I know some of you don't like some of Paul's free market beliefs but this Ron Paul campaign is opening a lot of conservative's eyes about how FOX News and the media do things. This is good for our country. It's a revolution whether you like it or not.
Now where was BillO and his factor camera to record this delightful demonstration?
Patricia, they were too busy getting tossed out of the Obama camp. ;-)
Was the blonde lady his body guard? ;)
Frank Luntz caught red handed using the SAME 'undecided voters' in focus group.

cynick @ 28:
Paulistas as in Sandinistas?
I prefer Paulaholics myself.
swarmofkillermonkeys @ 349:
Broadcast licenses are not free. They are regulated. As such, they have public responsibilities.
If the airwaves were truly free, instead of owned by a privileged few, you would get Paul's message on the airwaves every bit the same as his message is viral on the internet.
It's not simply that Paul was censored by Fox. It's that Fox is violating it's promise of performance and public obligations AS REQUIRED by their actual broadcast licenses.
We get it though: you hate Ron Paul.
Not a surprise. Many neocons hate him for telling the truth about the war. And many Dems despise him because he has more backbone on the war issue than ANY of the leading Dem presidential candidates.
If libs actually supported Dennis Kucinich instead of marginalizing him to the fringe, none of us would need Ron Paul to fight our anti-war position for us.

Self-leadership types are hardly "tards."
[Deleted.Off topic-Sitemonitor]
Not allowing Ron Paul in the debate is driving Republicans over the edge of realizing how full of crap Fox News actually is.
Aside from his fiscal-based opposition to voluntary war waging, he stands for everything harsh and strict about conservatism, including an opposition to abortion, federal gay marriage, raising taxes, and so on. If there's something so poisonous about inviting him, it becomes obvious that Fox News doesn't care about whatever messages it's exploiting. They are all smoke and mirrors to protect the assets of privileged assholes, even at the expense of much of their base.
If someone had told me in 2003 I'd see Republicans cat calling Sean Hannity down the street, I would have told them they were out of their mind. This is gonna be an awesome year.

Bob @ 386:
[Deleted. Attack the message, not the messenger-Sitemonitor]. Paul is NOT advocating the obolition of state and local government. Really, it is amazing how stupid some people are.
Paul wants the state and local governments to be THE MOST GOVERNMENTS IN THE COUNTRY!!!
He is against powerful FEDERAL government, not government per se.
Look at the facts you idiot before you make these ridiculous statements.
Just one word.......WOW......
This has got to be one of the greatest videos I have seen in a long, long time! Sean does suck, and he sucks big time!
Brad @ 391:
Hell yeah. That interview with Leno was awesome because it really showcased what Paul is all about. When things go this well, you know there is going to be idiots and simpletons coming out of the woodwork to downplay things and say simple 5-year old things like:
Ron Paul bad, me good.
Hey guys, I donate and support Ron Paul all the way but man. But to be honest, Hannity could easily take a video of this and edit it to make Ron Paul supporters look radical and dangerous. And when that happens, guess what? Ron Paul supporters will no longer be allowed anywhere NEAR any political activities.
True, we have freedom of speech. We have the right to protest. But after watching FOX News exclude Ron Paul from the most recent debate, THEY ARE NOT PLAYING BY THE RULES. So please, don't give them any tools that they can use against us.
(Off the record,....... HANNITY DOES SUCK!!! YEAH!! )

The GOP trained and organized these neo-Brownshirts to go after libruls and brown people. Now the dogs are turning on their masters.
Schadenfreude is a guilty pleasure.
2008 will be the year that Republican Wealth goes into hiding. A land full of people crying into their foreclosure notices will take a dim view of the Rupert Murdoch's and Sean Hannity's luxuriating out there and may come looking for scalps.

Bill was probably pouting because Chris Matthews got a little air kiss from Hillary yesterday after she told Chris she didn't understand why some men were so obsessed with her. She put Chris in his place nicely.
They showed the clip of the little air kiss thing on Morning Joe this morning.
I believe it was the secret service that had a little talk with BOR.
But none the less are the masses emerging from the coma that has kept this country locked up for the last few years? Even the Malkinities have left the fold.
Wow. Of course Murdoch is laughing all the way to the bank and planning how to get us for this.
I will miss the O'Reilly reveal tonight. So tell me how it goes.
They showed the clip of the little air kiss thing on Morning Joe this morning.
And if Mika had anything positive to say, I'm sure the Scar would have threatened her job again, just like he did when she went off on him trying to defend waterboarding.
One day, I hope Mika will turn to Joe and say "Hey, isn't it time you came clean about the dead intern that was found in your office when you were still in Congress?"
I would call in sick if I knew that was going to happen...just to see Joe's face get red under that studio pancake he wears to hide the fact he's drunk on the air.
I loved it. Keep up the good work.

Wrong. You can drop the gelding blade. It would be great to get a FOX edit version, to contrast with reality. To contrast honesty with dishonesty. To show how unamerican they are, how much they suck.

winston s. @ 188:
I'm thrilled to see Hannity hounded and berated-every Fox personality deserves the same. Too bad in this case it's by folks so ignorant they don't know the truth about Paul.
When people alleged the Stormfront ties are a lie, do they first check the Stormfront website? - It's a .or org URL - Do they check the RP campaign finance reports. Did a plotter inside the RP camp falsely report the receipts. And what about the other supremacists supporting him?
RP supporters demonstrates why the crap FOX puts out works. People don't check for themselves-they listen to those they agree with, and dismiss everything else as Lies.
Actually, the video demonstrates Paul supporters do a lot for themselves.
As for racism, visit post 200.

Talcott @ 386:
You're honestly saying that a bunch of rowdy kids chasing people down is comparable to Gandhi and MLK? WTF?
The first rule of Gandhi's civil disobedience is that you don't get angry. Period. You don't harbour any hostility, and you don't chase people down. When you take the offense like these kids did, then you lose the moral high ground. Gandhi never chased people down while taunting them, sorry. I'm pretty sure that MLK and Thoreau never did that either. There's a big, big difference between having a peaceful and orderly march, and targetting a specific individual as a clear threat.
When you compare yourselves to Gandhi, you're not convincing us to like you more. The only thing you manage to convince us is that you don't have any idea what you're talking about. You guys compare yourself to Gandhi the same way that creationists will sometimes compare themselves to Galileo (confusing being marginalized with being right, or confusing being marginalizalized with using the right methods.).
LOLZ. NOOB.
doolittle @ 360:
First off, FOX News is cable, not broadcast.
Secondly, Ron Paul disagrees with the entire premise of the FCC and licenses, so this is a pretty hypocritical position for him. For instance, here's Ron Paul accusing the FCC of being unconstitutional for the firing of Don Imus. Which is weird, because Don Imus wasn't fired by the FCC, Don Imus was fired by his private owners in response to a consumer boycott. Yet for some reason, Ron Paul considers this a huge violation of the first amendment. So if Ron Paul considers the act of boycotting Don Imus and firing him in response to lost revenue to be a huge threat to the first amendment, then surely he should say the same thing when viewers go beyond the boycott and attempt to physically intimidate reporters by chasing them down?
It seems funny how the Paultards are quick to defend Don Imus's first amendment right to be a racist, but not so quick to defend Sean Hannity's first amendment right to criticize Ron Paul.
shelob @ 311:
I hear that Richard Ramirez has swarms of female admirers who are willing to throw themselves at him. One of them was on his jury.
By your logic, anyone who says that Richard Ramirez is a misogynist must therefore be wrong. If he was really the type of person to abuse women, then why would so many women be fans of his?

Sean Hannity lives in Liberalville, Long Island!
It's Friday and on Friday afternoon, I like to goof off and poke fun at conservatives.
Today is Sean Hannity Expose Day!
Sean Hannity and his wife, Jill, live at 27 Seacrest Drive in Lloyd Harbor, an incorporated village which is part of the town of Huntington in Suffolk County on Long Island in New York.
In July 2003, the Hannitys paid $3,450,000 for the 27 Seacrest Drive property. They bought the property from Garciela Arcata.
The Hannitys used to live at 225 S. Gillette Avenue in Bayport which is also in Suffolk County.
My point here is not to tell the world where the Hannitys live. An irate left-winger already has provided Sean Hannity's address online.
As an aside, I am ticked off that Google provides my old address, 20 High St., Huntington online and conveniently shows exactly where I used to live but Google pretends to never have heard of 27 Seacrest Drive, Lloyd Harbor.
You can see a map and the houses in Lloyd Harbor on Google Maps but the names of the streets are not available. Now I will have to drive around Lloyd Harbor to look for Seacrest Drive which is in Seacrest Estates.
If anyone is interested in seeing the kind of neighborhood Sean Hannity lives in, enter the address of the Book Revue on Google. The Book Revue is where Sean Hannity hosted the former senator from Georgia, Zell Miller, on his show when Zell Miller was pushing a book. I think the turnout was less than fifty people whereas Cindy sheehan drew a crwod of more than two hundred just a few weeks ago.
Bill Clinton had them standing three blocks long in Huntington when he signed his books at the Book Revue. I did not buy Hillary Clinton's book but the beau and I meandered into the Book Revue and watched her sign books for awhile. The Chinese woman who runs one of the best takeout places in town told me that she cannot read English all that well but she stood online to have her copy signed by Senator Clinton.
The Book Revue's address is 313 New York Avenue. Just north of the book Revue is Main Street. Go three blocks west on Main Street and them head north on West Neck Road. Follow West Neck Road all of the way until you stop seeing street names. That is Sean Hannity's neighborhood.
What gets me is that the Hannitys deliberately chose to live in one of the most liberal towns in the country. Sean Hannity spews hate-filled trash on his radio show five days a week but he wanted his family to grow up in a place where there has been an annual Gay Pride Parade for probably the last twenty years.
Huntington is more liberal than New York City. Jon Cooper, Sean Hannity's representative in the Suffolk County legislature, is gay and he marched in the Huntington St. Patrick's Day Parade with his life partner and their adopted children.
The people of Huntington believe in paying taxes to provide health services to poor people. Huntington has a first-rate medical center , the Dolan Center, set up by the doctors in Huntington Hospital so poor people would have affordable but first-rate medical care and nothave ot resort to the mergency room. The "Dolan" in Dolan Center, btw, is the Dolan family of Cablevision fame.
Huntington hosts one of the best public mental health clinics on Long Island, the Pederson-Krag Center. No one is turned away because they cannot afford to pay for the excellent treatment provided by the top-notch professionals at Pederson-Krag.
The centerpiece of Huntington Village is the Huntington Public Library. Huntington residents pay a fairly hefty library tax but they do not complain and the budget always passes. The library is dedicated to serving all of the library's patrons, regardless of income or anyo other factor.
Huntington Library is the first library I ever belonged to and, as a teenager, I read everything under the sun at the Huntington Library including Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" and Lawrence Ferlinghetti's "Coney Island of the Mind".
When the debate about going to war in Iraq took place, I found a collection of Saddam Hussein's speeches at the Huntington Public Library. In the book, I found a transcript of a meeting between Sddam Hussein and Senator Bob Dole and several other Republican senators when they visited Iraq. I don't remember the year that Bob Dole visited Baghdad but I remember he very timidly tried to broach the subject of certain weapons with Saddam.
BTW, the collection of Saddam Hussein's speeches was published by the Tel Aviv University in Israel and well worth a read, imo.
Maybe the Hannitys enjoy the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington. Farenheit 911 was packed at every showing and the Fog of War had a big turnout, too. I still refer to place as the New Community Arts Center because that was its name when the Skys first started showing foreign and alernative films upstairs at the Salvation Army Center on Main Street more than thirty years ago. I remember seeing Alan Bates in the King of Hearts and Jacques Tati's Play Time there.
More to come.

This is hilarious! Sean Hannity, a cutter-and-runner? Now, that's priceless! Who's yer dady now, chicken?
But the whole thing is also a bit disturbing. How did the US become like this? One honest man, who's stating the truth, can inspire mobs to become near violent. This is blind outrage.
Funny, yet disturbing.
The Republican party (even though, I'd vote for them, if they'd have more normal candidates like RP) has to go on the way out---pronto!
And that my friends is how you deal with these neocon douchebags. Get em' on the run. They are a bunch of panty waste blowhards and this is proof before your eyes. Let's get all these fox news fucks scared to death!
BlueIndependent @ 213:
No. RP supporters are generally very aware that a president does not have that power and he should not have that power. This is about incremental fixes to the system where it can be done, and any real change will have to come with some compromise and will take time.
He can make one "sweeping change" as president, and that is an immediate reversal of foreign policy. As president he would have that control. He can absolutely shut down bases and get us out of the middle east. Everything else will take time, effort and may never fully succeed. But there is a very deep belief that we have to try, at least.
Your vote right now is unfortunately misguided.
Talcott @ 2:
Me too it adds to my hope that has shown up again after all of these years.
I'm getting scared of these Ron Paul supporters, they are like brain-less zombies. I don't know which looks worse Hannity or the Paulistas? Well I hope RP gets the nomination just because he would destroy the Republican Party completely. Remember the 1992 Houston convention? Buchanan v. Robertson. That will look like a spring picnic compared to what might happen in Minneapolis if RP somehow pulls it out. He's too far from the GOP's mainstream for them to rally around, that's why they'll nominate a guy like Giuliani, McCain, or Romney (maybe Huckabee). Somebody that can spew out Fox News neo-con talking points that make the base of the GOP happy.
President PNACcio @ 15:
I agree, shame on Fox News & Chris Wallace. Good to see real Republicans taking arms and I'm a Dem.
[Deleted. Off topic.]
A Paul-Obama debate for president would be sweeeeet! There'd actually be a dialog. Barack would get massively schooled though.
Isn't this the same group of wackos who heckled Bill Maher to the point that he threatened to personally beat the crap out of them? Reading these posts here you would think that this was solely a "conservative" problem. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Ron Paul nutjobs are chasing after everyone in a desperate attempt to have their idiot rantings heard. Ron Paul is whacko and those who blindly follow him are pathetic whackos.
Stacy @ 423:
The 9/11 conspiracy people? No - you're completely mistaken. Hey but keep using the same tactic as the other Republican candidates: brushing off his ideas and his followers as "whacko."
I have to say I got no pleasure from watching these douchbags chase Hannity while waving flags and shouting insults. It looked like a near-riot by a pack of inarticulate thugs. That's the street's political discourse now? Fox News sucks?
Holly @ 425:
I suppose he'd let them appear on his show and let them express their views in a more civilized manner? Oh wait... that's exactly what they were confronting him about. At least you didn't resort to name-calling... oh...
doolittle @ 360:
True that.
Zach @ 421:
[Deleted. Off topic.]
Wow, now they're eating their own. Sweet.
Chris from Ohio @ 30:
If nothing else, Paul points out exactly how radical and UN-conservative the modern-day Republican party is. They're ready to upend the entire country if they get more power and money, how is that conservative?
How are the Republicans considered "conservative" when they spend more than Democrats, get involved in individual's lives more than democrats, and start more unnecessary wars than democrats?
Republican pork would have paid for the national health care program several times over! Don't let anyone tell you neocons are conservative!
Tensions are high.
Simply glorious! I love out the Internet is the great equalizer. The media elite no longer control the kabuki stage. We are now all actors. Thank you, Ron Paulers, Huckabee lovers, and everyone else who will not let these pundits control the debate.
prunes @ 48:
It's not conservatism anymore, it's fascism.
I dunno, I'm no fan of Hannity, to say the least, but does this strike anyone as being a bit scary? I mean, who wouldn't have run? I'll probably catch hell for this, but I'm not cheering this as much as I, in principle, would like to.
If you are up to watching a few minutes of Hardball tonight, Chris shows Hillary getting choked up today. I love the way the two other reporters respond to what she did. Very decent responses and very nice. No pissing on her at all.
He shows the clip within the first 15 minutes of the show.
I LOVE IT!
As the dude said on the other (Frank Luntz) thread said:
The Paultards will not lay down. They're loud. They're proud. And they're in Sean Hannity's face!
The Paultards online poll numbers have been tormenting Hannity for the past year.
I'm luvin' it!
I wonder what would have happened if he had just stopped and talked to the people? If they had asked him why Paul was excluded he could have given them the name of the person who made the decision (obviously he wasn't the one who decided) They might have settled down and left him alone.
Alligatorpear @ 52:
Here's the thing. at least when Lutz (sp?) was confronted earlier in the night, he tried talking and giving his side. While it seemed like a mob in this video, some in the group at least try to talk. Hannity makes a big deal out of talking tough and being strong, but when it came time to actually look those in the eye who he insults on a nightly basis (i.e. Americans), he runs away like in the Monty Python skit. So the irony is that the tough guys isn't so tough afterall.
Hate Ron Paul or not, I know you guys love sticking it to FAUX. Thats something we all can rally around!
Vote Ron Paul in NH!
I can just hear Sean running down the hallway calling for his BFF Rudy
to come save him from the mean Paul-ites!
Clearly a real wimp, just like the rest of his ilk. they can dish it out....
Now if people would do that to the all Faux News anchors, that would be a sight to see! Hell! I'd pay to see that!
Alligatorpear @ 52:
Yeah it's scary. Maybe if bad-boy Hannity had to deal with the mob mentality on a regular basis he'd probably turn out to be not so "bad" after all. I'm guessing he would flee from a lone 78 year old women if she started chasing him too.
I disagree with 95% of what Ron Paul stands for, but I do at least admire his a) honesty and b) ability to get his supporters to take action. This kind of thing needs to happen to Faux News personalities on a daily basis to show them that hateful half-truths can come back to haunt them. Keep it up Paulies (or Paulidites or Paulaholics or ...)
If they had some rotten tomatoes, he would have an excuse to run. They didn't, he doesn't.
Hey! This is one of the few times I agree with Ron Paul supporters!
Wow, that's positive!
Hey Sean, better eat some worms.
That being said, Paul supporters are aggressive (good) but misguided, unfortunately. Or maybe they like that the government lets institutions like banks charge them up the ass with fees with unregulated abandon. Or maybe they haven't noticed that privatization has gutted their bank accounts.
Hannity's mistake was in believing that as long as they were not left wing, they wouldn't bother him. That coward would never come near a Kucinich rally in the first place, which is what makes this sweet.
That was awesome.
Man, what does this portend for the RNC convention in St. Paul??
In the word's of the great, and greatly missed, Hunter S. Thompson: television is OK, as long as you respond aggressively to it.
Imagine the aggressive response Hunter would have to a fascistic dolt like Hannity.
Poor Hannity, he can't even call them traitorous Liberals.
Go Ron Paul supporters!!!
Didn't I hear one of the people say they were throwing snow on him. I doubt you can get arrested for throwing snow on someone. They should have started a snowball party. Maybe he would have grabbed some snow and thrown it back. Maybe they all could have just gotten along. ;)
If we don't stop propaganda machine, we will have 20 CIA operatives from another country following us around 24/7. We have been invaded folks, People who come here from where ever are not Americans and do not share in our values.
Stacy I just read one of your raves, backup what you are saying, the name calling is your typical of con trickery. You should go back to Israel you traitor.

Wow. So people didn't get their own soap box on national TV, so of course that justifies them chasing down someone like a group of thugs. Great point, if you're a six year old spoiled brat who throws a hissy fit every time that you're not the center of attention. It's like watching an animal rights organization complain about how no one takes them seriously, so they end up flinging red paint at people in the street. I mean, the LaRouche people don't get to appear on National TV, but at least they know better than to chase people down.
Once again, this is blatant hypocrisy. Don Imus gets fired because people boycott his show and the station loses revenue, and Ron Paul throws a hissy fit and calls insists that his firing is a violation of the constitution. Paultards decide to harass and physically intimidate a dubious newscaster in response to negative coverage, and apparently that's A-OK.
In other words: A peaceful, non-violent free market solution to protest a newscaster on the public airwaves is unconstitutional. But an entire mob physically intimidating some guy on a private cable station is good. And yes, even without physical contact, chasing someone down is still physically intimidating. Just like someone standing in the doorway and preventing me from leaving a building would be physically intimidating, only far more active and hostile. Be honest. If an entire group of strangers started chasing you while hurling insults, you would be scared, just like anyone else. If the Paultards were really upset that they weren't being heard, then why not do what people did to Don Imus? Prove their faith in the free market, by using it as a tool to ush their agenda? Oh, that's right, because using the free market would be wrong. Ron Paul said so.
Oh yeah, and while Sean Hannity may be a right wing hack, the same goes for John Stossel, who Ron Paul named as a likely running mate. Unlike Sean Hannity, John Stossel is on the public airwaves. I don't like seeing Sean Hannity on cable, but I hate the idea of John Stossel being in the white house even more. At least with Hannity, I would still have the option of changing the channel. Would the Paultards be okay if people started chasing down John Stossel? What if they started chasing down Ron Paul?
417: "He can make one “sweeping change” as president, and that is an immediate reversal of foreign policy. As president he would have that control. He can absolutely shut down bases and get us out of the middle east. Everything else will take time, effort and may never fully succeed. But there is a very deep belief that we have to try, at least.
Your vote right now is unfortunately misguided."
No it's not if you look at reality. RP is arguing (thankfully) for the same sort of foreign policy the Democratic party and many Democrats have been calling for (and getting called "spineless terrorist-loving/communist-loving/bad-guy supporting liberals" for) since Viet Nam. This involves removing ourselves from countries in Latin America (Reagan and Nixon's folly), the Middle East (the Bushs'), etc. Perhaps the Democratic version doesn't include Germany or Japan as RP surely advocates, but to say the Democratic Party has no platform on removing this country from foreign entanglements (the worst ones at the very least) is patently false. There are specific Democrats with no interest in removing us from such entanglements, but those are largely the Dems that are oldest, most establishment, and least connected to the populace (Lieberman, Murtha, etc.) due to their lobbyist ties. Whether we got RP or a Democrat as president, foreign entanglements are far more likely to go down than if any non-RP republican gets in. That alone will help reverse our trend, and that is the one place where I agree RP would radically improve our financial prospects and economic issues at present. RP's problem is every single Democrat wants essentially the same thing though, i.e. leaving Iraq. Since they both would provide the same benefit, what else can RP bring?
RP's success on the right is directly linked to the same policy progressive Democrats have been calling for since before we even went into Iraq. He is another outlet for the way the country truly feels about the war, the military included, and that is a large part of why he has become as popular as he has. War sentiment is the primary reason people like RP, not the whole libertarian thing. He also provides military Republicans that don't like the war a conduit to express themselves they otherwise would not have due to the abject stupidity and Bush=Messiah think that permeates the neocon-driven Republican party. That he's the only Republican that thinks the way he does highlights his presence in the race because he is such a stark contrast to the goose-steppers he's up against on his side.

Stacy @ 423:
Stace; how are you judging what is 'blind' following vs. deliberate following?
Glad your 'arguments' are not the 'ad hominem...' oops....
