Sean Hannity calls Ron Paul a "nut": RP2012

[TennVol92]

Paul/Norris 2012

[krazyknva78]

...... Did Chuck Norris just endorse Ron Paul O.O

[retiredaxmurderer]

Sean Hannity has been wrong on every issue since 9-11 happened. What a paid government shill he is.

[doublexnchuck]

OMG!!! theres no fist under chuck norris' beard?

[Shattered239]

who wants personal freedoms, strong economy, and an end to foreign intervention, fucking nutcase

[makilgore06]

"Ron Paul is a Libertarian." LIAR. Ron Paul is a true Republican, not a RINO (Republican in Name Only), or the worst kind - a conservative unwilling to claim his party. Everything you said we need in the next breath, Ron Paul has been screaming for. You're saying they lost it? He's been there the whole time.

[1217jesss]

only a nut would call Ron Paul a nut.

[Knocks4U]

@MrSuperpunch019 Ron Paul has nuts,the superpunch must have struck you below the belt because it's evident you have no balls

[Knocks4U]

How could Chuck let his wife sit so close to this scum parading as a journalist ?

[tacitus7]

This is an old video. Hannity has moved closer to Ron Paul and is not as disrespectful.

[nhfoos]

Hannity is a NeoCon NUT!

[superbuickm3xiii]

wow, chuck is a fool but even he knows whats right. but of course, hannity tries to discredit RP calling him a nut

[borbo23]

Ron Paul is a nut because he's a racist d-bag who adheres to the worst economic policy in the history of humanity. Libertarian-type policies are what caused the global financial meltdown, but he doesn't care what happens to normal folks as long as we protect the Free Market!

He loves it like the cliche hippie loves trees, as if the Free Market is some wonderful spirit that is being threatened by evil disney villains who hate capital.

[KruspeFTW]

@borbo23 Are you kidding me? What we have now isn't even close to a free market. The financial crises in this country stem from the activities of "regulators". The regulators failed - they let abuse go on right under their noses - what's the point of propping them up anymore?

I despise big businesses too, but it's due to government intervention on their behalf that they have been allowed to continue duping the public for far too long. Ron Paul does NOT support their activities WHATSOEVER.

[borbo23]

@KruspeFTW We don't have a "free market" because without regulation it's disastrous. It's how we get famines that kill millions, massive economic collapse - just like what happened recently.

This latest recent economic collapse was because of de-regulation that's been progressively getting worse and worse.

We need MORE regulation to protect us from the market; less ALWAYS causes disaster, and then the libertarians cover their failure by claiming it "wasn't free enough".

[qwertyopo1234]

@borbo23 lol no the latest economic collapse was not because of deregulation. It was no where near deregulation, it was a perfect example of how too much regulation messed things up.

[borbo23]

@qwertyopo1234 Complete nonsense, and typical libertarian lies. The market collapsed because banks were trading on imaginary money - because it was "profitable" on paper. Had it been regulated as it should have been, this would not have happened.

But by all means, tell me your alternate-history version that suits the libertarian fantasy. It was the fault of poor inner-city people who mainly pay in cash, right?

[KruspeFTW]

@borbo23 "The current structure of capital ownership and organization of production in our so-called "market" economy, reflects coercive state intervention prior to and extraneous to the market. From the outset of the industrial revolution, what is nostalgically called "laissez-faire" was in fact a system of continuing state intervention to subsidize accumulation, guarantee privilege, and maintain work discipline"

[KruspeFTW]

@borbo23

Markets have never been free and never will be as long as there is a government around to ensure inequality. More regulators will not fix the problem.

[borbo23]

@KruspeFTW More regulators will not solve the problems inherent to capitalism, this is certain, but less will only spell far more suffering. The historical trend has always been towards more regulation, and for good reason.

The market has never, ever shown an ability to regulate itself; not on arsenic, not on weapons, not on trans-fats, not ever. The "invisible hand of the market" did not end slavery, or create worker's rights, or help get rid of diseases such as smallpox or land men on the--

[borbo23]

@borbo23 moon.

And isn't it ironic that the first cure for cancer should be made in socialist Cuba?

[KruspeFTW]

@borbo23 You have things exactly backward. All power that is wielded by corporate interests and employers is exercised WITH the help of government; regulations do not prevent corporate tyranny, they merely enforce it.

Regulatory agencies cannot go out of business if they do a bad job safeguarding people; private oversight and regulatory companies would have an incentive to function properly.

[KruspeFTW]

@KruspeFTW While you may be correct that food quality has improved in the last 100 years or so, problems still crop up and sicken or even kill a lot of people. And more people feel the brunt of safety failures because only a few large companies control the distribution of most food as a result of centralization, which occurs because these companies have access to enough resources to influence these regulators. The FDA, for example, is full of executives from high-powered food companies.

[KruspeFTW]

@KruspeFTW And even then, quality improvement did not necessarily come about as a result of regulation. The horror stories of people finding chopped-up fingers in their meats were largely overblown and just provided government with an excuse to grab even more power. Regulators require costly procedures that drive small producers out of the market without necessarily improving the quality of food.

BTW, thank you for the spirited debate on this topic.

[borbo23]

@KruspeFTW I do agree with the downsides you say; many aspects of the government just work as pawns of those with money.

However, regulation via a governing body is still the only way that these things CAN be regulated, because the market is completely unable to regulate itself. The desire for rrofit will drive things forward even if they are highly destructive or dangerous.

The problems you list really speak of the deeper flaws of capitalism itself.

[Knocks4U]

@borbo23 I think it's more of a lack of properly functioning brain cells that cause meltdowns,call your shrink and perhaps he can help you

[borbo23]

@Knocks4U Every time we there's no regulation the market crashes and millions suffer - but the cry is always "less regulation!"

Doing the same thing and expecting different results is one of the signs of insanity . . . kind of funny you should doubt the sanity of someone else who is calling for something completely rational and sane and has undoubtedly been a stabilizing factor in capitalism.

[Knocks4U]

@borbo23 Could you please direct me to this era of time where you claim there was NO regulation please ?

Stabilization Is Chaos !

[borbo23]

@Knocks4U Oh, so you're going with Fail #2!

A completely untested theory that we should all try on the word of a few people who don't understand history let alone economics.

[borbo23]

@Knocks4U One must also wonder why there has always been some regulation; the market is completely unable to regulate itself. We must be protected from the relentless pursuit of profit. An excellent case in point is arsenic, which was unregulated in the first third of the 19th century, but by mid-century was regulated in nearly every country. Even the most ardent free-market believer agreed with this move, because the lack of regulation was costing lives.

[borbo23]

@Knocks4U Your inability to make an actual argument says a lot about the libertarian ideology - every time they try to make an actual argument they back themselves into a corner.

In reality, freer markets mean massive inequality, often massive famines that cost millions of lives, and incredible instability. Of course, libertarians argue we haven't actually had a "free" market (for good reason), but that brings up another huge problem; they ask everyone, on their word, to risk the economy on

[borbo23]

@Knocks4U -on "untested" theories. Hugely dangerous in itself.

There's no winning for Libertarians, because their ideas are basically just self-serving and screws over everyone else.

[LordoftheKaty]

If Sean Hannity reminds you of Jaba the Hutt, like this

[Ninosestelares]

Hoo! His wife is a nice looking woman!

[libertarianjury]

Hannity is a fucking mouthpiece of the Republican mainstream. Reagan was no conservative, supporting the Federal Reserve S&L bailouts. Norris always sickened me by supporting Huckabee, who is a moronic theocratic leftist.

Ron Paul is right, at least Norris knows enough to know that.

[libertarianjury]

In the political world, I'd be killing half the people. LOL!! Maybe he's not so bad after all...

[GrandMasterScotty]

Hannity is a neocon tool and mouthpiece for the Republican Party. The fact that he thinks Ron Paul is a 'nut' is probably more of a compliment than an insult.

[Z0mgZ0mbies]

Hannity tries to put his Coca Cola stamp on the Republican party... he's failing horribly, he is everything that's wrong with neo-con Republicans and the reason I can't support their party... I'm a Libertarian because of guys like Sean Hannity.

[LivedRevoDog]

Ron Paul 2012

[silus2000]

The word you're looking for is "panders."

And Ron Paul is no more a nut than our political system which allows groups and organizations to buy influence in Washington. Now thats nuts. But I guess its easier to single out an individual...

[ExhibitMan]

if Sean is a conservative; how come that he supports preventive war? How can he deal with fiscal responsibility when america runs a $1 trillion military campaign around the world? And yet, he wants to cut spending. To me, Hannity is just another Social Liberal equivalent to McCain and Obama.

[parkerp11]

superpunch is a fucking nut. He speaks outs of his ass without looking into the facts.

[TheJsmth1234]

support your claim, i doubt you can

[BigDanWoT]

I like how the douche thinks he's nut, but now he's not only riding his coat tails, he's trying to steal the whole coat.

[shnozzel12]

Chuck Norris speaks from his heart,Sean Hannity is a republican obsessed robot.

[iceb2012]

Wanting to uphold the constitution makes you a nut? Hannity makes me want to puke.

[Triburner1]

@iceb2012 Hannity is a puppet. I agree with you 100%. Ron Paul 2012!!! Spread the word!!!  Peace~

[MrHamroast]

That isn't what he meant at all. He was complimenting Ron. This title is ridiculous.

[audiohi]

No, actually Sean really doesnt like Ron Paul.

He really thinks hes nuts. During RP's compaign for the primaries every time RP won the Fox news poll for 'who won tonights debate', Sean just bitched about how 'no he didnt win tonights debate no, clearly the polls are rigged clearly his internet supporters are out tonight' stupid things like that.

[MrHamroast]

Man, screw this dude then. He such a weasel.

[PeterSodhi]

Wow the title of this sequence is VERY misleading - I guess that is expected it is about Fox news after all.

[PeterSodhi]

His wife is a pretty good asset if he did want to run :)

[ponykiln]

Did Chuck call Sean "John". I swear he said John.

[shadowcasterband]

If Washington D.C. is "normal" then I am glad to be "nuts"! Okay, RP is nuts and that's why I like him too! haha I just can't figure out why they support Huckabee?

[copcorona]

What is up with all these Freedom loving conservatives who want to take away my freedom to smoke pot? The first freedom is freedom of thought. Why are we tolerating a government that wants to police my state of conscious?

[TripleC86]

I'm technically a conservative and I am for complete legalization of drugs. War on Drugs is almost like the War on Terror.

[copcorona]

Lately conservatives are easy targets. I should come out of the closet. I am/was a conservative. In Canada we even have Conservative party. I feel betrayed by these jokers. Out of power they pushed the ruling Liberals to balance the budget (yup, we also have a Liberal party) Once these conservatives got into power, they promptly spent Canada back into a deficit . You are lucky. You can help redefine American Conservatism

My bad for slandering all conservatives some r 4 liberty.

[WarDogLRS]

Americans are the #1 Morons in just about everything. All they care about is supporting the Satanist Corporations, There so fucking dumb they cant see this. Look at the Microsoft Logo & tell me its not the sun sign the same sun sign as Hitlers. But wait theirs more like The Large Hadron Collide with its 666 & the Tunnel. Shell Gas is a sun, Folgers coffee a sun sign, Dole foods.And on andon. These freaks all serve ?. You figure the rest out. Google freemantv watch Britney spears mind control

[banemaler]

Hannity used the nuts characterization. Chuck was more joking about it. I think Chuck really respects Ron Paul and wasn't attacking the man.

[PrudenceWright]

Sean Scammity can stick it.

[02917321]

Bush and hannity basically called anyone who disagreed with them as siding with the terrorists. That isn't declaring war on dissent?

[noncompliant2]

Man, people love controversy. Hell why not run for office on it....

[xilin1976]

strong national defense or strong international offense? Hannity, the neo-con, period.

[jacksonias]

Energy independence and free market solutions, why doesn't that mix?

[the3AMgenius]

go Ron Paul F@ck Hannity!

[WSOR4025]

Ron Paul is a nut because he believes in individual liberty, free markets, and free minds. In Washington today that is "nuts". Ron Paul is far to principled and sadly that is considered nuts.

[Jasonthebasin]

God and Guns = safety? I see a flaw in this proposal...actually, many...

[GEORGE4CASH]

Title of this vid is wrong. He didnt call him a nut.

[troma333]

Well, relative to mostly all the other representatives Ron Paul is nuts...but this just makes the other representatives soft.

We all know, or should know that Sean Hannity's role is bash liberals and prop up Sarah Palin. He's just doing his job.
