ANDERSON COOPER LIES TO RON PAUL

[moniquemonicat]

Ron Paul has slammed everyone who tries to trap him every time I've seen him. He does it eloquently, yet clearly and his arrow hits the mark and makes the trapper look foolish every time. His weapon? The truth.

[tosb38]

maybe im nitpicking but 2 people can't have a MONOpoly. maybe oligopoly is the right word.

[TheGLUCOSA]

INCREDIBLY  BIAS !!!

[darin001]

just because you might be too simple to understand him doesnt mean he is rambling.....he is your only hope for truth and you american idiots are wasting him...

[getcruunkk]

What the fuck else is new, the debates being structured so that they're biased against Ron Paul. Down with the corporate media!

[nsdtr01]

no big deal

[swinescales]

Ahnuld was scopin out Ron Paul's "private property rights" point about government and big business collusion to allow them to be excluded from such trivial things that only us unwashed masses need to be concerned with.

[VoiceOfModeration]

lol, Schwarzenegger in office...

[andrewlgm]

Journalists are scarce in America and AC may be one of the few left. He usually leaves opinion out of his show. I personally don't think he forgot on purpose. In any case, America will never elect someone as Ron Paul. He is too intelligent and honest, not fitting with the Republican or Democratic style. He'd probably cut Pentagon/war spending down to 95%, if not all the way. Thus solving our debt problem. Nobody in America would vote for this. Although Ron Paul is exactly what we need.

'Anderson Cooper's CIA Secret'

"Anderson Cooper has long traded on his biography, carving a niche for himself as the most human of news anchors. But there's one aspect of his past that the silver-haired CNN star has never made public: the months he spent training for a career with the Central Intelligence Agency. "

[scarygary5678]

gimme that fuckin minute anderson... I WANT THAT FUCKIN MINUTE, RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[rachelabombdotcom]

Carl Cameron from Faux News did the same thing. Media hit job for sure but it's still the peoples responsibility to get to the truth and the people are too dim.

[gunsandbullhorns]

Anderson Cooper and his boyfriend are adopting a Haitian baby. I hope that kid has a brain and scolds his adopted father for being a liar.

[BigAlbinoDonky]

Anderson Cooper you lying sack of shit.

[eastwood13]

Ron Paul's only weakness is he doesn't stand up for himself, he's too soft spoken...

[bottleslingguy]

What do you mean by "too soft spoken"?Do you think it means other nations wouldn't respect him?Do you think they respect Obama?I think DrPaul's intellect and reasoning overshadow the fact that he's not a bully.He's not an actor like the rest of them.He's got too much integrity and that's probably why the country is not ready for him.I hope he runs again in '12 and if he teamed up w/Jesse Ventura maybe that would change your mind as far as being loud spoken.

[eastwood13]

I'm a huge Paul supporter, I hope he runs again in 2012 too, but he needs to get tougher...and yeah I think Ventura would be a great running mate!

[DennisfromDC]

@bottleslingguy Yes they do respect Obama. the fact that you think the whole world is against you and ron paul is a sign of insanity. im not joking i literally think you might have a chemical imbalance. ventura has already proven to be off his rocker

[funder1der]

@eastwood13 speak softly but carry a big stick. Im pretty sure that if ron was ever made to use the stick it would be the most awe inspiring thing you would ever see. Lightning would flow from his eyes as american flags sprouted from his head. The founding fathers would come back as zombie founders and wreck havoc on the federal reserve. then ron and his zombie army would dance like in thriller. Then and only then will people vote for ron, because he will have put on a good show *lol obama*

[eastwood13]

@funder1der I bet you're right!

[dickhucklebuck3]

@eastwood13 Ron Paul has what is referred to as "tact" and "manners"...it's good to see these days instead of rhetorical lip smack which is all there's been for a while.

[MrBrational]

@eastwood13 I agree, he sounds like an old man no body listens to. Kind of like that cute senile grandpa everyone's got.

[Astra2012]

@eastwood13 he is kind and polite - that's probably what you mean by "soft-spoken".

but he is very very tough (see the 2007 debates when they ridiculed him and laughed at him but he kept saying unpopular but true things)

he always stands up for himself!

[NOTAdemocracy]

Every time they try to stop Ron paul from speaking I want to hear more from him. Its such a Narrow Band Width in the media these days- it needs a shake up with all views extreme of otherwise being heard. Its the only thing that keeps the Liberal Fascist Coalition Government from launching a pre-emptive strike against Iran, Burma or Venezuela for their oil.

[jag10]

Isn't Cooper a gay intel operative?

[hoovinc]

He stuttered like the lying bastard that he is. The producer behind the scene was probably shouting on his ear...cut him off now..he's making too much sense!

[ZeLVaR]

I saw this debate when it was originally on during the campaign...I wasn't even fully for Ron Paul (took me a while to break the grip the mainstream media had on me for a while) at the time but I thought it was INCREDIBLY rude for him to be treated that way.

It's just even more evidence that we need to all turn off the televisions and find out the truth for ourselves. They call themselves "unbiased" or whatever but there's no getting around it, they're completely worthless.

[bottleslingguy]

I started waking up almost twenty years ago after reading Bill Cooper's book, Behold a Pale Horse, but wouldn't allow myself to believe it because I just started having a family. But now after this whole RP thing I've come back to reality. This stuff is over the top and right in our faces. Bottom line is we've been lied to in so many aspects it's almost depressing. But that's why we've got to rise above it and open our minds.

[timmydd283]

@bottleslingguy everything cooper talked about then is happening now, and somehow we r the ones with a tin foil hat.. go figure

[rockandroll1110]

Ron Paul!!!

[gaybot9000]

he does ramble a lot...

[bottleslingguy]

It might seem like that to you because he doesn't talk in pre-programmed sound bytes.

[MrFreeLibertarian]

@gaybot9000 Indicative of Ron Paul's supporters. A simple truthful statement can receive so many negative votes. Guess what?  He DOES ramble a lot. That doesn't make any difference. It doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's talking about, but it IS a true statement. He kind of tries to incorporate too many points into s short explanation and stumbles all over himself. So what? But for all these people to vote that comment down just shows immaturity.

[markrod420]

@gaybot9000 its not rambling. He has to go to great lengths to explain what he is saying because it is not the same rhetoric that everyone else is spouting. So if he just says his big headline point without the back story the rhetoric junkies will try to shred whatever he says. He is forced to give long answers because he is not just answering the question. he is also educating people on why he is answering the question so differently than the mainstream bullshit, and why he is right.

[markrod420]

@gaybot9000 To give a short little answer like the rest of the candidates do would either require that he start singing the same droning idiotic tune they do, or that he leave himself open to be torn apart by their replies and not given enough time to explain how the constitution supports his position. Because they love to sell him short on time.

[markrod420]

@gaybot9000 so in other words, to prevent them ripping him apart without giving him time to reply he has to give a full and complete answer that cannot be ripped apart. His answers to questions are one of the many things that actually set him apart. His answers are full and complete and usually come with built in historical and constitutional support points/references. Something other candidates are SERIOUSLY lacking.

[offhookie]

Ron Paul 2012

[satchelmcqueencomedy]

this debate made me very angry. cooper is a piss ant and paul was robbed here.

[chessdawgz]

...stop the presses

[bajoho]

Anderson Cooper is a smug, arrogant media airhead. He is a piece of lint in Ron Paul's pocket. Ron Paul always shines through tho because he has principles and conviction.

[vickykd113]

f*ck anderson cooper

[erinmhughes]

This debate is what convinced my father to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. :)

[heymisterderp]

"Another opportunity to discuss that." WTF is that? As if the minute Ron Paul was discussing it was somehow more valuable than another minute of the debate he could discuss it later. Cooper should be ashamed of himself, but of course, he's not.

[slicingwater]

Well how do you know that, Are you a mind reader.

[heymisterderp]

How do I know what? That Cooper wasn't ashamed of himself? Because he didn't exhibit that he was. I can only go by what I observe, and there's nothing to observe to indicate otherwise. So I either go by all of the evidence, or I go by none of the evidence. And like always, I'll go with the non-zero side of the scale.

[heymisterderp]

Yeah I was devastated by the disrespect Dr. Paul was shown here. Cooper was a real slug. "I promise you." I lost more than half the respect I had for that slug on this night. I still watch CNN however; and I'm voting 3rd party.

[michaeltheman8888]

anderson cooper is a fag

[dodgyhingst]

Anderson Cooper's family is one/tenths owners in *The Federal Reserve*. He is a silver-haired devil all right, a blue-devil.

[BoKnowsEntertainment]

I remember this - this is when I decided to quit watching CNN and the rest of mainstream media. I'm voting 3rd party.

[RobMonty248]

The true Birth rights we give out children is 25% ILLEGAL TAXES, and STILL Wage Labor Tax is NOT supported by ANY goverment, we have to pay or jalied? Then 30% of every dollar you own is on loan to the people. meaning befor you even g et your money, before you spend it on things that have mor tax, your dollar is only worth .45cents. With everything else included the dollar comes down to about the value of 4 pennies.

Thats our birth right in USA now, paying back loans = Slavery. Our Birth Right!

[bottleslingguy]

Crazy ain't it?

[RobMonty248]

Birth should give you a right to land, money is slavery, indians knew this, killing them off n stole the land, I refuse to pay for land, the land was fucking stolen, govt are thiefs, they taught us this in school, corral and kill indians in the form of, we are moving you to new land. Freedom is nice but at what cost, who's paying with their lives? Was spreads freedom, Spread it.. Freedom to the indians meant mass genecide, loss of land and heritiage, corral and kill, then re-educate who lives.

[piecraft]

CNN = Communist News Network, just as MTV = Mindless Trash Videos

[bohemiangrove]

nice one

[Whoo69]

Screw class actery, tho. In this kind of debate, he should've demanded more time!! He should've said how unfair it was that Romney and McCain got all the good questions, and Paul just got the remains. Fuck Cnn.

[roosterrocks]

The media makes all Republicans look bad because they're run by Liberals. In Iraq we found the ingridients or what ever the hell for nuclear weapons but do you see the media talking about that hell no. Fox is the best but you cant even trust them.

[cbgames]

Fox is the WORST dude. see? they are the ones that lied to you about WMD. but you are right about the liberal media trying to make all Republicans look bad. it's the NEO-cons, not conservatives that are bad.

[theropingeffect]

Never trust anyone with two last names.

[lagriffedulion]

What about two first names?

[theropingeffect]

I tend to trust people more with two first names like Ron Paul or Patrick Henry.

[ariesswede]

i cant wait to tie cooper up and make him watch me rape his wife and say "ill be done in like 2 mins i promise"...then continue raping her as long as he made ron paul wait

[embracedestruction]

People with different ideas always get shut out of the political arena by pundits who'd rather maintain the status quo than do their damn jobs

This is why we can't get a functioning gov't

[jprithvi]

fuckin Cooper. He goes out of his way to make Ron seem like a loon. Remember that "keeping them honest" report on how Ron was supposedly a racist? Hey asshole, libertarians are incapable of being racist. Get an education faqqot.

[Atheiossupremos]

...so because people hold a certain political veiw, they can't be racists?

maybe you should be the one who gets an education, and stops using poor language against one's oponents. it just makes you sound distinctly uneducated or just simply stupid.

[jprithvi]

A true libertarian is incapable of racism because individuality would be at the core of his belief system. You should get an education about libertarianism before you spout your nonsense on here. Infact, it's even irrelevant if a libertarian is racist or not because the government does not have any power over your lives. Only the individual does. Study what we stand for and come back will ya? And sorry for the naughty language. Go cry your govt a river and get them to ban my language...Dumb fuck

[Atheiossupremos]

so people aren't racists if they repress it? i'm not saying that ron paul is a racist, but you can still be racist without acting on it. reguardless of your political beleifs.

if you think that "dumb fuck" is an origional (or even decent) insult, you really need to go and get an education. i'm not saying that a government should ban foul language, but if you're having a discussion about a topic in a debate-like format, is it really that unreasonable to expect you act in a civil manner?

[jprithvi]

repressing what? Please read my post again. In theory if you truly believe in individuality you cannot be racist. But hey what do I know.

[NEOCONIDIOTS]

If you don't like his language then do not respond to his accusations or questions. Unless of course they are hitting something rather close to you in order for you to respond. I personally do not think naughty language can qualify you as non educated. It can be used to express yourself. For example, go fuck your self you piece of shit just cause you seem to call people uneducated just cause you do not understand the libertarian idea....just sad.

[pixiesfan666]

I would like to point out, that by definition, Ron Paul is not a true libertarian. He is simply a batshit politician that attracts the fringe of society by convincing them that public schooling is socialism and that this country can actually survive without taxing it's citizens. I really hope these Ron Paul supporters grow up someday and learn a little about how government and society work.

[LinDeath]

LOL. This dude would definitely have participated in witch burnings and other societal acceptable horrificly trendy acts throughout history.

He also has no concept of the meaning of the phrase "by definiton" but he does know it creates pseudo gravitas to give him some much needed credibilty.

[jprithvi]

There is nothing fringe about Ron Paul supporters. His message of liberty reverberates with a wide spectrum of people. Income tax began with the 16th amendment in 1913. How did we survive before it? Educate yourself before you spout your nonsense on here. While you are at it, educate yourself about libertarianism before you make a further fool of yourself. Jackass.

[Nayatna]

pixiesfan, I'd like to know why you think Ron Paul isn't a true libertarian. His entire platform is based around the idea of individual freedom.

[baltictiger]

So glad to know Ron Paul is a "batshit politician." That's profound.

Countries can survive without the income tax. Heard of property taxes, excise taxes, inheritance taxes, automobile registration taxes, license fees, cigarette taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes, state taxes, corporate taxes, capital gains taxes, etc.? Want to make the list longer? There are plenty more. He's talking about getting rid of the income tax and the inflation "hidden" tax.

Get your story straight.

[Erika445566]

Your so off base its sad. You need to do research before you go on ranting like the little pawn you are. And the government DOESNT WORK, IT IS CONTROLLED BY THE FEDERAL RESEVE. You are just another person who blindly follows an already blind crowd. You need to grow up and open your eyes moron.

[maberry21]

You can't expect less of CNN and any other mainstream media outlet they are all owned and paid for by the elites.... Those people are the ones who really own this country not bush and cheney...

[waterdrop006]

Fuck you Cooper!

[bottleslingguy]

If you believe polls and the msm you're still brainwashed.

[stubaru]

You tell em bro.

RP is getting screwed big time. None of the polls make sense.

[MystikWizard]

Are you sure? Polls about Ron seemed to turn out correct. The polls make perfect sense, but the GOP voters never caught on. The only true way to deal with the GOP is to leave it.

[Satronn]

AOL poll he is doing great! Anderson Cooper has lost my respect totally!

[QwertyBooooop]

Lol.

Here's my response to you people: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAH!!!

Ron Paul fails every poll, 'tis true.

[sjlibrabbit]

Anderson Cooper is a miserable excuse for a journalist, IMHO. CNN is done for me, and so are their sponsors.

RON PAUL 2008--HOPE FOR AMERICA--BE PART OF IT

[teejay1618]

yup, same here. i actually thought cnn was a fairer network than fox, and i stand corrected. the difference between cnn and fox is the difference between IRS and the Federal Reserve.

[finefilth]

what do you expect on the central banker controlled media

[grhutchins]

Hey, I'm glad you're taking an active role and pointing out shenanigans when you see them, but the titles in this piece are difficult to read.

I make a living doing video and film editing and it's important that titles be easy to read. Yours are not. Maybe something a little more straightforward next time.

[geekstor]

i do not understand why america still considers itself a democratic nation.

they are trapped in a system that is far far away from being democratic.

may one can call it an institutional system (fox,cia,hallyburton etc.)

[fisharmor]

There's a phrase for people like Cooper, and that phrase is "FUCKING LIAR".

[rocketagency]

Anderson Cooper was trained by the CIA - enough said. Google: Anderson Cooper, CIA

[ryanowa]

To CNN's defence the topic was the environment and Dr Paul wanted to change to subject.

But Cooper should have let him talk as promised. Why didnt he? because McCain and Romney are miles ahead in the delegate count, and that sucks but its the reality.

[rocketagency]

Right. Like McRomney didn't start talking about whatever it felt like, whenever it felt like it.

[ryanowa]

yeah but McRomney's a dick. Ron Pauls a gentleman.

[jessebickeldotcom]

In Dr Paul's defense, Hook asked Romney a liberal-vs-conservative question, and a follow up question. For the discussion, Romney put in 1125 words, McCain 417 words, Huck 411 words, Paul 0 (because he wasn't addressed). Hook then asks the environment question. McCain answer is 480 words, Romney 346, Huck 239. PAUL ANSWERS WITH 74 WORDS, ASKS IF HE CAN RESPOND TO THE EARLIER DISCUSSION, AND HE IS DENIED. "THERE ARE NO RULES" MY ASS.

[slimat420]

After the 2 questions that is when I became angry with CNN (Communist News Network). I knew that was a lie when he said it but I thought maybe they will give Ron a chance to answer the question and of course he did not get any chance and after that Cooper really started cutting in on Ron's answers. Hell one question Ron had 9 seconds to answer.

[smedleywasright]

RE: Republican Debate January 30 2008 - Simi Valley, CA. - Reagan Library

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! Ron Paul is fighting for us. Now we have to fight for him! Anderson Cooper's conduct at tonight's debate is inexcusable! If CNN has any journalistic integrity at all; THEY MUST TAKE ACTION AGAINST ANDERSON COOPER! Anderson Cooper MUST BE FIRED!!! This cannot go unanswered. Our nation's media must be held accountable. The Soviet era "Pravda" would have been more fair!

[optixit]

I listened from Portugal and the debate was clearly structured to exclude Ron Paul. Pathetic CNN

[europarl]

"I promise you"... yeah, and quite a promise that was too... perhaps it's for the next CNN debate.

[BostonBeatnik]

Everyone's tripping over themselves to honor Ronald Reagan.

Meanwhile, CNN uses blatant bias to exclude Ron Paul, the only GOP Candidate who has a photo of himself smiling and shaking hands with Ronald Reagan.

Sad CNN. Really sad.

[pmwjmj]

good you pointed that out!

[bottleslingguy]

Watch McInsane sit up straight and smile at the end.
