Ron Paul Interview on PBS NOW PT.3 12-14-07

[LVonMises]

David Epstein got absolutely owned on a debate by Peter Schiff on the bailout, look it up folks!

[n0s1r]

Wow... This interview was tainted...

They were hating on Ron Paul.. Hard...

[Operaddict]

Ron Paul is a patriot. He is an American. He is not CFR. He is not Skull and Bones. He is not NWO. He is the man we need...is it too late?

[nothingbetter2du]

Yeah, they gave him publicity, but always the slap in the face. Well, it is PBS, Pathetically Broadcasting Socialism. God forbid if people had to do things for themselves. They might make more money, get high self-esteem and live happier!

[waluum]

I would have said that this was one of the best Ron Paul TV spots I've seen, until the Epstein interview. Epstein completely disregarded all of the details of Ron Paul's policy views. Had he looked into them before talking he would see how much consistancy and sense there is in them. NONE of Ron Paul's views are unrealistic, and I'll argue that any day.

[waluum]

Ron Paul never renounced support from those questionable groups on TV until now because he wasn't directly asked until now! He never dodged or ran around that! Not once!!

[DonkeyMilky]

Taking responsibility is not an easy thing and Ron Paul never said the transition would be easy, in fact he admits to the risk, but we have to learn how to govern ourselves again and work together on a more community-based level. LETS ALL TAKE A RISK ON SOMEONE THAT CLEARLY SPEAKS THE TRUTH! RON PAUL, 2008!

[DonkeyMilky]

The interview points out that not everyone begins at the same financial starting point in a free enterprise society and insinuates that some people will get left behind...and yet look at what's clearly happening with the Federal Government dictating so much as we have it now. How many people are currently left behind?

[DonkeyMilky]

And that includes kids in a totally substandard Federal Education System. This huge Bureaucratic system which is currently in place is obviously NOT working. It certainly is not making everything 'fair' and 'even' for everyone. Besides that, it's run by liers and thieves.

[DonkeyMilky]

Terrible and highly biased interview. Just appalling.

[freedomj316]

Mr. Epstein, America has not agreed that the Federal Government has the right to take our money and distribute it to those they so deem. America is agreeing that the role of charity is best carried out at the local level, and is best done voluntarily, not coercively. That is one of the many issues this r-evol-ution is about.

[infernaltim1]

Why the hell does this lady at the end keep saying "He's not gonna win the presidency." and PBS promotes this? I hate how the media already has him written off.

[freedomj316]

I'm with you on this, but on the other hand, I also look forward to so many folks like her who will be eating their words next November and beyond. Something much, much bigger than Ron Paul and one campaign has been awakened.

[moneynest]

is it really a possibility? i just heard of him today so i dunno. i wish i could vote!

[jerryjam22]

They really needed the socialist professor on to marginalize the message we dont need the federal government involved in our lives everything needed can be handled at the state level.

[chemistofdarkness]

He (the Marxist professor) probably needs help wiping his own ass, a function he thinks should be performed by the nanny state. Why can't these people realize that yes, not everyone starts out the same in life, but that still doesn't mean we need Big Government to "level the playing field." This inevitably results in fewer freedoms, and less ability to imporve our own lives.

[cityview1989]

Fuck a nanny government & Epstein

[Dresden718]

Almost 17 million for this quarter! Keep Donating!

[g587802]

This interviewer is a complete idiot. Can she have been more ridiculous, could the editing have been more manipulative. How do I watch this and completely miss the Ron Paul message?

[chemistofdarkness]

Maybe someday (after President Paul is sworn in to office), it will dawn on these tools that their comments just enrage and incite us. The point of Dr. Paul's message is that Big Government and Corporate Media DON'T represent us, that we have to take responsiblity for ourselves.

[mybigbearron]

We're $5 grand shy of $16 million (7:16 pm est) and the sun is still shining over half the country towards the Pacific.

[philippe1985]

the guy at the end is what I call a communist. He is disconnected with the world and history

[MrKoffee1212]

"He's not gonna win the Presidency" Yeah because we all have crystal balls... what a crock of shit RON PAUL 2008!

[Yxra]

Seriously. Do they think we will just let this go after a failed election that we all will watch and expose the truth about immediately? These Crown-controlled fools are becoming so predictable lately. I'm flying the U.S. Civil Flag from now on.

[haircutname3]

RP supporters wouldn't spam if MSM gave equal time

[sanssubsistence]

Epstein is an idiot.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT EQUATE TO STATE GOVERNMENT. It should be left to the STATE to create safety nets and programs to help it's citizens, NOT the federal government.

[1robohobo]

This bitch interviewer is an idiot. PBS is tilted against Paul.

[bbburton]

You bet freedom is risky. Yup, no gov. safety net, no gov dole. And no fed bureaucracy, no fed police state, no big brother, no policing the world, no war, no IRS, no fed reserve, no Patriot Act, no Real ID. What do you get when you lose all of this big gov? Your freedom, your liberty, and your money. That's a risk I'm willing to take. RON PAUL for PRESIDENT!

[RPn08]

Ron Paul has more support from the people than any other candidate, I guess it's not what the people want no is it. That's what happens when you stray from the constitution.

Power to the people!

Ron Paul in 08

[AiresQX4]

It's alright for all the other candidates to get special interest money and weapon contractor. Actually hiliary Clinton gets the most from weapon contractors.

[quarknimble]

"he's not going to win the presidency."

right around minute 5

big media propaganda-magic hypersigil to prevent ron paul from working (works on the subconscoius)

[alleon76]

why all the media say he wont win the presidency?

[silus2000]

Zephyr Teachout, highly educated arrogant bitch. What is it about these people that pushes them to make conclusions which leave them absolutely no room for error? No one, in any field says stupid shit like that. Ron Paul isnt a favorite to win, I know this. Dont speak to me as if you are some god, that has some kind of authority. KNOW THE LIMITS OF YOUR OPINION!!

[TheTruthHurts101]

He will win the presidency!! If by chance he doesn't, I feel very sorry for any and all politicians. We will be up there asses making them change to fit our needs. You watch and see. Dr. Paul cured all of our apathy!

[gardenlogic1]

That's the spirit! When Dr. Paul is president we will still have to pressure the rest of the politicians to fit OUR needs. After all president is not dictator. (unless your GW)

[Yxra]

Fuggin' right! It doesn't end with the election whether Ron Paul gets in or not. It's really a HELL of an evil we are actually choosing to fight this time. I'm very happy so many people are waking from their slumber.

[hiimallen]

"The role of the Federal Government has been to level the playing field"

BUUUUULLLLLSHHHHIIIITTTTT!!!!!­!!

We have Haliburton, and HUGE Pharm companies, and MASSIVE BANKS BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GIVES THEM MOST OF THE MONEY!

[penguindude2387]

Believe me, the people know how to help each other better and more creatively than government and power ever will. And we don't have to sacrifice ourselves to do it.

[hiimallen]

"Until now, Ron Paul has never said publicly that he does'nt want contributions from white supremacists"

BULL SHIT! HE SAYS IT EVERY TIME THEY ASK!

[frnnk]

Am I the only one who got the compulsion to punch the computer screen when howard deans former web campaign manager said he's probably not going to win in that snide voice and manner? That sickened me. My fear is what we'll all have to do if he loses. So... she'd better start praying for him to win.

[krackasskracka]

NO you r not the only one. That political "expert" douche was worse. Shilling against Libertarian philosophy (probably because he is on the dole....) This was an attempt to smear him, he did well though. But it makes me not want to send any money to PBS when they pull this crap. I know their numbers and they the most from individuals and foundations not government.

[FrnnkEducation]

still doesn't address the issue of why you DIDN'T want to strike down that b*tch...

lol. these constant smears are taking their toll.

[mikegarlicbread]

ya mr epstein we have seen enough of govt sucking off taxes and killling kids in mideaste

[puttali8]

I want to watch 300 again. It will be said that few brave free man stood against a tyrant and fought until they died. FOR FREEDOM.

[bubbazametti]

F**k these F**king F**kers I'm going to kick in hard on the 16th at the TEA PARTY!!!

[cosmusical]

Can you please develop a bit of intelligence for the sake of this man's election?

[frnnk]

*gets on knees and prays*

[bubbazametti]

Takes all kinds can You

[bubbazametti]

It's really a shame that PBS, let Zephyr Teachout say that he will never be president. Now I know this is her opinion, but would they let her say that about Obama or Hillary . You never hear about Hillary's illegal campaign donations and how she's not going to give any of that money back. This is clearly a hit piece! Just like George Stepinalotofit and Beck, Zephyr Teachout Is clearly APEICEOFSHIT! Sorry PBS. You're not that stupid, and neither am I, you lost our support through donations.

[Yxra]

Same from me. I haven't fulfilled my pledges and won't now until people in this country start recognizing what political change is and that it's happening. The intelligentsia is so far left from the drastic shift caused by this administration and they don't want to advocate him, but he really is giving America a focus to finally stand up and accept true freedom.

[6969wrath]

BTW why doesn't this bitch mention he has more support by far from the black community than any other GOP?? huh? bitch?

The only opeople who would vote against Ron Paul and the founding fathers are war mongers, socialists, and communists.

[6969wrath]

OK, who in the fuck is sitting at home thinking we have too much freedom and need the federal government to be running our lives more.....you are seriously an asshole if you believe freedom and liberty is bad...you are against everything this country was founded on....seriously, who in the hell wants to be controlled more??

[cosmusical]

Shutup, shutup, shutup. Quit being such a damned idiot, honestly. If you debate people the same way that you present your logic, with ad hominems and aggression.

All of you, stop it. Stop saying "fuck this, fuck that" and quit being so paranoid, angry and hostile. Make his supporters look good, eh?

[frnnk]

no no, my friend. I must ask YOU to show some restraint in holding in your emotions. Their energies are directed positively towards propelling the only logical candidate. It's not like they expect us to win anyway, as mr. deans old campaign head implied (the bitch), so don't act as if we're all specifically being watched and inspected. YELL FOR RON PAUL, DAMNIT!

[sLeepPastNooN]

hit piece as one would expect from the government media.

[cosmusical]

Its not a hit piece, don't exaggerate. There's been plenty of Paul hit pieces and this isn't one of them. Its fairly balanced and presents Paul's side more than it does the other, don't be so self-centered with your perspective.

I did despise that "he won't win the presidency" number by Zephyr, though.

[silus2000]

If you despised that, what else can you say? Its at least a hit piece on her account. ANd I must stress, this attitude is so ingrained in people, half the time they dont know they are making the news and not reporting it.

[Likkerish]

The Federal government levels the playing field??? Level for whom? Safety net??? If you were jumping out of a 8 story building, who would you want manning the safety net--a bunch of federal bureaucrats or people like Ron Paul supporters who deeply and passionately love their life and liberty as well as yours??? Think Katrina!!!

[Likkerish]

You bet, Zephyr! The Freedom Movement is a "very powerful structure." And, you're right, as is Trevor Lyman. Ron Paul is a dot in the center of this humongous decentralization of power and creativity, and it's not about Ron Paul. It's about the message. No, he will not win the presidency. The Freedom Movement will win and install him as its spokesperson!!!

[horny4Utube]

We're also taxed to support PBS.

[pbcinla]

There isn't a level playing field because WE'RE taxed to give this guy grants to go to Harvard and Stanford and get a position at Columbia so he can say on PBS "the Federal Government levels the playing field."

What a bunch of BS.

[kingnek]

Go President Paul, the world is watching. Matthias Chang who is the former political secretary to Dr Mahathir of Malaysia wrote that the world could never defeat the illuminati until there is a change in America, a revolution or a US military coup. I guess it is happening now. World Peace and harmony is finally upon us. Tears in our eyes.

[Likkerish]

I agree with the propaganda criticism, but the first 2/3 or so of the interview gave Ron Paul and the movement great exposure. It was only toward the end that they brought in their liberal shill from Columbia to speak as an expert on what the country wants and purportedly needs. Then, they spoiled a good commentary by Teachout on the campaign by including her comment that RP would not win. Uhhhhhh!!!!

[sirrahcirdec]

propaganda

[horny4Utube]

PBS has never said publicly that they don't want contributions from white supremacists. This really bugs me.

[horny4Utube]

I'm telling you, if a white supremacist could youtube themselves making an online donation to PBS and post the video, then PBS has just totally backfired on themselves.

[scarter32567]

Oh no. Ron Paul is supported by a brothel owner (yawn).

Forget about the lovefest between Bush and some recently well known Enron executives during the 2 previous elections.

I'm a salesman for Coca-Cola. I also support Dr. Paul. Please don't tell PBS. The headline may read, "Coke Dealer Announces Support for Senator Ron Paul".

[gardenlogic1]

I LEGAL brothel owner none the less.

[jaychins]

cool haha, i hope i could get an discount when i mention i am for ROn?

[horny4Utube]

OK, so you go to PBS dot org, and one of their main buttons is, "send a pledge." That means that a white supremacist or brothel owner can donate, and you better believe PBS won't give it back. Someone should do this and make a story out of it.

[cyTO4Paulitical]

A few points, People are not on the same playing field due to education they get financial problems etc. But that is how the American Dream works, work harder strive for greatness and you will be able to achieve your goals the government government should not close this gap because it restrict the American Dream.

[cyTO4Paulitical]

cont...

Why does that lady say he has no chance to win, when she was talking about how good he was doing online etc. Why do any of these people say this its contradicting and you can tell from their facial expression that they are trying hard to spit those words out because they know its not true...

[cyTO4Paulitical]

cont...

The fact is it does not matter who supports Ron Paul I don't care white supremacists support him and send him money, why does it matter as long as they support the cause. PBS's interview was not the worst but it definitely is not the best.

Ron Paul 2008

[ismellyou]

What does a city look like without the federal government? What does the city look like in which the federal government is based? High crime, murder, prostitution, and a mayor convicted of drug dealing, then re-elected.

[grj0]

Except he will win!

[ismellyou]

Like he said, go to PBS dot org. And tell them what thinly veiled propagandists they are with clear motives to denigrate someone with whom they disagree. And in the name of "public broadcasting." Any white supremacist who pays taxes supports PBS.

[ismellyou]

That's so propaganda.

[ismellyou]

She's a total propagandist.

[whydoesmycelltorment]

Freedom is risky - no freedom has no risk, also no freedom

[o0stonedagain0o]

How can she say He wont win... what does she know

[Azprint]

Bitch lost it for Howard Dean, now she can't agree, that our internet campaign is more successful.
