Ron Paul at South Carolina debate 1-10-08 pt 1

[noyritus]

Prophet? It looks like it!

[Sashia48]

For those who condemn Ron Paul for saying he does not believe the government is behind 911,even staunch 911 truthers like me understand completely why he said that.If it needs to be spelled out for you, It's probably something you wouldn't understand anyway.

[mindlesstube]

are the votes riged? i thought he would be in the lead but i guess not.

[DannyAz66]

If Hillery wins,we lose what? you already lose everything you could lose..

[dizzitoast]

Hillery has been bought! You saw Sicko!

[Metallic7Dust]

Giuliani's chuckle is annoying as fuck... I think I'd like to punch him in the face

[Garretthomas47]

i like everyone listening to Ron Paul has a look of utter confusion. this is the way of America today. you fall in line with Big Business and become a sheep or your nothing. i think more people should listen to Paul for this very reason. he's saying what no one else is couragously. i bet most of the other candidates would buckle under the amount of pressure Paul is getting for simply speaking the truth.

[bralen42]

I have come to my senses! Hillery is Bush! Why vote for Bush? If Hillery wins, we will all Lose! Why vote away your country?

Ron Paul in 08' Our only hope!

[Jalteck]

Keep up the good work

Death to the NEW WORLD ORDER!!!

Death to the NEOCONS!!

VOTE RON PAUL!!!

[LiberityBellUSA]

At 2:29 the host asked Ron Paul to suppress free-speech. He a consitutionalist for heaven's sake!

[DB8U]

you edited out the funniest part. They called him out on not listening.

[rapsody]

you kiddin' me? they straight up lied and said that everyone supported being passive when you got thompson over there talkin about opening up the gates of hell and everyone cheerleading bush for using petty threats.

[nomadak47]

He must run as an independent. Rudy got skunked in Michigan by Ron--I wonder if he giggled about that?

[brollyjohn]

Wow. He cut right through the propaganda bullshit question with something not seen in American politics...

Honesty.

[noexplanationneeded]

FREEDOM is a UNIVERSAL commodity, if we deny this we deny our own access to a real voice polarity games be damned! ACCURACY is our standard protocol, and even the neo-cons entrenched eons deep into the most vile parts of our collective condition cannot resist the POWER of TRUTH! But....... the simple fact is some crabs like the bucket even when the water gets a little too warm, better sit tight hold each other down, get ready for your butter bath. hey do hoggs like the pen b4 the pig stickin?

[noexplanationneeded]

Hey underinformed mentally leveraged flea mentality, u are silly if you think this man cannot change the world, he spits the most memetic of all catalysts TRUTH, plus he must take his stance on 911, it is mandatory, poker is a tactic, HOPE must stay visual. Scary part is that polarity is a substance most useful to the neo-cons, historically. And the litmus test of the real powers that be is a drop of acid called MENTAL SOVEREIGNITY.

[Jalteck]

...good...*nods*

[hogs55]

Hey Ron Paul! Al Quaeda blew off the side of the USS Cole with something LESS than a speed boat...killing 17 and injuring 39. Why wouldn't these commanders AND a potential President take Iranian speedboats seriously??? What are you saying? That's why everyones laughing at you.

[rapsody]

comparing this incident to the USS cole is nothing more than propaganda. there is virtually no similarity. in the cole attack, the ship was docked in harbor and no one was aware of any other vessel posing a threat to the ship. in this incident, our ships were at sea and were on guard for a possible encounter. ron paul was simply pointing out how overblown the situation was and how some people will use any excuse to stir tensions.

[Jalteck]

I agree with rapsody, we are just itching to jab our finger on the war trigger...

[Mafkeesdejong]

I'm not really following the US politics but is Ron Paul at the winning hand? Because this guy is showing some IQ by just standing there. If I was an American I would've voted for this guy.

[yoobitoobi]

FOX FOOT-SOLDIER asking a "idiotic" MURDOCH question to discredit Dr Paul for sole purpose of reshaping the news - MURDOCHS plan of influencing a lessor democracy that all our children will inheret.

[infokemp3]

Gold currency competition with Fiat money means = Natural interest rates. Natural growth

[DarthEvilicus]

GodDamn. Fox News tries at every chance to defame Ron Paul. Just let answer the fucking questions. Fox News has soiled the refined process that is a presidential debate and turned it into a shit storm of taking sides with candidates either by promoting them or defaming them. Please stop it Fox News. Fair and Balanced my Ass

[m60dude5]

Fox news sucks. They obviously favor certain candidates more than others and you can see that clearly that Fox is interrupting Ron Paul and not letting him finish.

[DarthEvilicus]

Agreed

[cambo61]

McCain shits himself at 4:42.

[RevereRides]

Hume says at 5:26, "HUME: Well, wait a minute. All of these people I've asked this question to so far have said they sup-ported the decision to be passive. What are you responding to?"

does Paul need a hearing aid, Huckabee said earlier, "I think we need to make it very clear, not just to the Iranians, but to anybody,

[RevereRides]

that if you think you're going to engage the United States military, be prepared not simply to have a battle. Be prepared, first, to put your sights on the American vessel. And then be prepared that the next things you see will be the gates of Hell, because that is exactly what you will see after that." And this is passive? Paul could have crucified that milquetoast Hume, and Huckabee, McCain, etc, at the same time!

[RevereRides]

Hume says at 5:26, "HUME: Well, wait a minute. All of these people I've asked this question to so far have said they sup-ported the decision to be passive. What are you responding to?"

does Paul need a hearing aid, Huckabee said earlier, "I think we need to make it very clear, not just to the Iranians, but to anybody,

[MrMP81]

He was speaking about the " Administration " not only the candidates. Before they were all being chicken hawks and now they slow down and become passive ( To Look Good, not because they are ) that is what Paul was reffering to, Hume is a jerkoff, he knew that.

[samyisong]

What a tyrant the man asking questions is. Trying to command Ron Paul to 'divorce' himself from his more eccentric, 'fringe' supporters. They don't have to 'divorce' themselves and he is not going to cut out a portion of his base. This whole thing is a circus and Paul is the man who wants to stop the whipmaster from hitting that lion.

[jackson9ball]

Wake up America! We cannot give FOX News, or any other media conglomerate, the power to pick our Presidential candidates. We need to take back our country and our rights! There's a good chance Ron Paul won't get the Republican nomination, but isn't that up to the people? He's a legitimate candidate, with a legitimate platform. Let us hear what the man has to say and we'll decide if he deserves our votes. FOX should stick to what they do best - overcooked talk shows.

[kailinsammy]

YES! go ron at 2:48! they were throwing him dumb questions while everyone else got serious ones.

{{{VOTE RON PAUL 2008}}}

[majinbuxl]

lol he got those questions because they refer to what he talks about most. If you think he got dumb questions then you should maybe realize that he has dumb opinions.

[kailinsammy]

he does not have dumb opinions.

that think about 9/11-truthers? he doesn't believe that. some of the people that support him do & for some reason they felt the need to throw that in there & keep him out of the current debate. durr.

[Turpy7777]

Even if he believed it ...which has a case ....would not be smart to say it....hahahahahhah

Ron Paul vote for him, smart

[warclassics]

i can't believe they keep bringing up the 9/11conspiracy shit.

[nomadak47]

You are witnessing intentional planting to make Ron look stupid.

[MooseOfReason]

And some blowback. The audience applauded Ron when he said "so please could I participate in this current debate instead of picking this out?"

[TimeForARevolution]

As for your comment, HOG55, "Even the moderator was like, "what are you talking about???" Did you ever stop to think about the bias a comment like this shows on the part of Fox News? Start thinking for yourself-you're a big kid now. Fox News is a frigging corporation that has only its own interest in mind. Ron Paul speaks for the people, not corporate interests.

[TimeForARevolution]

HOG55, stop kidding yourself! Ron Paul has lots of supporters who don't fit your description of college kids. I am 38 years old, a home schooling parent, first-time Republican and activist. This man speaks to people across the spectrum-what he says is the TRUTH. If the Republicans knew what was good for them, they would realize RP is tapped into the PEOPLE. 70% of Americans want the Iraq war to end, only one Republican candidate is going to make that happen.

[HLakitas]

"First, they ignore you.

Then, they laugh at you.

Then, they fight you.

Then, you WIN."

-Mahatma Ghandi

LEGALIZE THE CONSTITUTION!

ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE!

ELECT RON PAUL OR DIE LIKE A BITCH!

[vulcanicoliose]

For those who say that Ron PAul is naive, let me a Brazillian, tell you something: everyone hates Bush arround here, just as we hated Clinton, because they were interested in "American leadership of the Free World".

[Zitronekopf]

Obrigado.

As pessoas aqui nao querem ouvir issas coisas, porém som verdade.

Did I say that right? I don't know Portuguese, but I wanted to thank you for saying that.

[rockstarofredondo]

Ta errado. Eu sou americana, e eu sei de tudo que esta errado com meu pais.

[Zitronekopf]

Well, yeah - you're bright enough that you understand the importance of being multi-lingual. But the average Joe Schmoe doesn't understand how contemptable a lot of the world finds us. And they definitely don't want to know why.

[rockstarofredondo]

Eu sou americana, e eu quero explicar para todos os brasileiros no Brasil e nos Etsados Unidos que nao e Bush de que elles tem que ter medo, e o sistema, a organizacao chamada "The New World Order" (A Nova Ordem Mundial)

de que Bush e so um fantoche, um empregado. Essa organizacao controla todo o governo nos Estados Unidos, Ron Paul. Nao estou defendendo Bush, nem gosto. Tou falando a verdade.

[Turpy7777]

Estoy totalmente de Acuerdo...no es la gente Americana la que quiere el nuevo orden sino unos cuantos en el poder....Saludos a Brasil..y a Ronaldhino....:]

[tphillips68]

someone needs to guide you bunch of savages.

[vulcanicoliose]

I've been watched this guy and all the things he says about NAFTA is true! And yes, even moderate people in Brazil are more afraid of America than Bin Laden. Bush's policies did this. Support this man, he knows how the world works, Giuliani, Mccain, Romney, Huckabee, are just like Hillary and Barack for us: they are interested in "afirming America's moral leadership"

[OrganicSisterLV]

Guilini's cackling is very irritating. As is McCain's smugness.

[hogs55]

Wow. I've never seen someone laughed at during a debate like this guy. Even the moderator was like, "what are you talking about???" The only reason he "won this debate" is b/c thee only people voting for him are college kids who don't know anything about the way the world works, except how to text their vote to FoxNews.

[c1696]

Hogs55...the only people voting for Ron Paul are those that understand the intent of our Founding Fathers. I am not in college...I am a father of three who understands that if we continue to fight the entire World we are doomed. Terrorism can easily be defeated simply by securing the borders. We have over 200,000 troops overseas...its time to bring them home and secure the border.

[suphx]

You know why they laugh? Because they try to make him look like a fucking wacko. You think the moderator would have challenged any of the other Candidates? The man was talking about the bigger issues related to the question, not just about that particular incident. He was also pointing out that although the other candidates may have supported the Commanders decision, in the long run they are all pushing for war with Iran. And that is the truth.

[ItsMrTonyBlair]

Yes, they caught him out. He needed to make it clear that the others supporting the passive stance of the navy officers (absolutely right) is not the same as having a peaceful national policy toward Iran which is where he differs.

He can't afford to be caught out too many times. He also needs a plan to fight terrorism which goes beyond congress declaring war. It is real, but it is the last resort of the weak few, not the huge threat its made out to be and should be treated as such.

[suphx]

And Hog, I happen to be a Political Science major at UC Davis, and I'm also an Iraq War Vet. You're the one that doesn't have a clue. The only thing you understand about the world comes from what you hear on the fucking TV. Otherwise you'd support Ron Paul. Keep practicing your doublethink you fucking loser, maybe one day you and Big Brother can have a circle jerk.

[savageau]

Ok Hogs55, your responce has already been attacked. I my self am a college student, I will not lie, but I am also a Political Science Major at Hamline University, a VERY well credited polysci school. Questioning my intelect and those of the other followers of this HERO is the real act of stupidity. Your ignorance is something you should be ashamed of. Furthermore, I am willing to bet I could spit more political truth in one breath then you could speak in an entire day.

[CRAIG68D]

you're the one who doesn't understand history.

and your are brainwashed by corporations making money of of war and murder, like Boeing, GE, all for whom the Iraq war has been a success. They make money as long as the bombs keep falling.

[CRAIG68D]

this comment was for the guy who said Ron Paul's supporters are just a bunch of know nothing kids.

[hogs55]

I don't know who I'm voting for yet...I just know Ron Paul won't win. Political fanatics are funny to me. Suphx, Savageau...thinking that 1 person being President will change the world is the real ignorance. UC Davis and Hamline well represented. Good job.

[moses9862001]

One person making change? there are alot of examples, i dont know if i should list all of them. its pessimistic people like you that keep the people down. if you dont vote for ron paul, you will regret it. thats all that there is too it.

[hogs55]

Relax. The world isn't coming to an end. Republicans thought that morality in American was over when Clinton was in office and Democrats think that W has started WWIII. And I'm sure I won't regret NOT voting for Ron Paul. Lighten up, youngsters!

[Mechyuda]

It took 1 person to screw up America's foreign policy and degrade America's domestic policy. That single person was President GW Bush.

Vote for Ron Paul to stop snakes and puppets from taking over the executive branch, and by snakes and puppets I mean Clinton, Obama, Romney, Huckabee, McCain, and the rest.

[Turpy7777]

Yes, nothing will change, politicians will lie, people will be apathetic, no reason to vote or do anything, more war, more economic recession, more corruption, if you can't beat them join them, our vote does not count, why bother, why do anything, lets just live our lives, why try to change anything......Why Vote for Someone who tells the truth,.....YOU ARE A FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hogs55]

Get over yourself, please.

[Mandosami]

the moderator asked an misinformed question in attempted I believe to discredit him. RP was outlining the attitude within the administration at DC - NOT the people around him in the debate. Listen to what RP was saying.

[RonPaul2008dotcomluv]

You are smarter than most of the people in that debate hall on that issue.

[chxdgt1]

I believe that Ron Paul means well, but his statements are incredibly naive and, he will never become president. An example of his inability to look at the issues objectively was his statement regarding the Iranian speedboat incident. He believed that the other candidates were advocating "World War III," when they all said that the Naval Commander made the right choice in not engaging the speedboats.

[lilbro86]

This guy sounds so good every time. What a breath of fresh air in politics.

[catwoman04]

Ron Paul 2008!

[Labellyy]

what a ridiculous question about the 9/11 truthers.. such a joke.

[bobert432]

i also find McCain's arrogance disgusting. 100 years in Iraq?!? How lucky for him he'll be dead long before the shit really hits the fans over there. Oh please Sen McCain, screw my generation and my grandkids in the ass really nicely once elected king.

[bobert432]

also, i wonder if the flat earth society decided to support McCain, if Faux News would be haranguing him to denounce them and their theories and "Tell them the Earth is round- Proclaim it so, right here and now!"

[bobert432]

MrMP81 is dead on. Anyone paying attention (obviously not Shit Hume) heard him say "the administration" and "people [in Washington] looking around" for reasons to go to war. Does anyone honestly thik that war propaganda isnt building against Iran?

[WTP1776]

Ron Paul the People's President of the United States of America!

[definitions]

hakabee is a fucking idiot..who doesnt read..!!

israel has 300 nuclear missiles .. who the FUCK would touch them!..who !! fucking moron..! hakabee..go home..stop being a child..

[smurfzeppelyn]

support ron paul! write his name on all them money in america! get his name out there, join my channel, support ron paul!!

[tphillips68]

excuse me, is "...on all them money" a typo? please tell me it is.

[MrMP81]

The Candidates are passive, not those in the administration is what Paul was speaking on, Fox tries to twist words. Bastards.

[dumbface2]

The others talked of sending them to hell and having them see the virgins they talk about. Yeah sounds passive to me.

[mikerogers3]

Thanks for posting this so quick :)

[troytroyus]

Thank you for posting.

[RonPaulOrDie]

YADIDIMEAN! STRAIGHT PAULIN!

[TrevorJNoyes]

Look at McCain's face at the end he's trying to make fun of Paul but he's the one who's been saying all week I know what to do with Iran "I'll take care of Iran" I know what to do with Pakistan" FoX and these guys are war mongers and should be jailed Ron Paul is one of the very few honest politicians America has left. McCain is a Criminal.

[MarcScottEmery]

That was interesting. Long intelligent answers from Ron Paul are allowed, thats unusual, and on Fox, at that.

[atvdude1000]

AWSOME! this IS PRESIDENTIAL!!!

[tphillips68]

yo! atvdude1000!! that really was some Presidential AWSOMENESS!!!
