Ron Paul breaks with convention - Guardian, UK

[StephinRazin]

baldlove I feel sorry for you. It seems you have been conditioned to automatically consider any dissent to be dangerous to an imagined ideal of what America is. The fact that you leap to comparisons with stalin suggests you are preprogrammed with a distaste for certain groups(communists) and unconciously feel the same distaste for whomever your told to feel it. Maybe you should read Ron Pauls, obamas, and John Mccains respective books and tell me who is more fit to be president.

[DAQUEEN718]

na u crazy im not voting for either obama or mccain (aka warmonger) there both evil!!forget about voting for the lesser of 2 evils!!there evil period which is enought to not vote for them!!only ron has my vote!!i believe in u ronny boy!! i cant wait for the real revolution to start!!it'll be scary but thats the only way i'll fight for my freedom!!a fight worth fighting for!! not to fight for something that is completly taking out of context due to the hunger for power of the fed. government!!

[mattsta1964]

All credit to the Guardian for even publishing this, and I say that with the caviat that I HATE the Guardian. In fact I'm banned from posting comments there.

Ron Paul's message of limited government, personal freedom and liberty and strong anti-war message has been largely ignored in the UK's media. It's very sad, especially as our own government is stamping on Magna Carta, habeas corpus and our basic rights.

The EU is a fascist entity. The British people need a Ron Paul figure to wake us up.

[davyjames]

I live in the UK. The guardian (like pretty much all newspapers in this place) is a filthy socialist, kensyan propaganda machine passing itself off as intellectual it is read mostly by dicks.

[balddove]

If the Guardian is read mostly by filthy, socialist dicks then it will be a HUGE hit among the paultards. It is right up their alley.

[SanxKendaraTV]

Why would 'socialist dicks' be interested in Ron Paul when his policy is free markets, not a welfare state, and limited constitutional government.?

[balddove]

It seems the "socialist dicks" in europe are in love with ron paul and barry obama. Also the American Nazi movement supports ron paul.

[shooter348]

Anyone who loves freedom and believes the United States should return to the constitutional roots that made it the greatest country in the world should support Ron Paul!

[balddove]

What a load of crap. Alot of Paultards say if you do not support ron paul you do not love freedom or the constitution. Ron Paul has been sucking at the public tit for over 20 years. He is a small time political hack. He has made a fortune by ripping off the retarded by way of his phony "campaign". It will be nice when the election is over. We will not have to listen to ron and his idiot army spew their shit from their pie holes.

[shooter348]

Wow balddove you really are stupid! Your public school education is showing from your complete ignorance of the meaning of freedom. I bet you've never even read the constitution. Why not take some time to learn about the subjects you enjoy ridiculing?

[balddove]

So you are saying only those "patriots" who kiss ron paul's bony ass understand the meaning of freedom. Whatever you say, Corky.

[davyjames]

You don't have to agree with everything Ron Paul says to understand the meaning of freedom. But you can't be a die hard socialist and believe in it. Of course although Europe is politically socialist there are plenty of individuals here who would prefer real freedom. Like myself.

[balddove]

My problem is more with ron paul's supporters. Now that ron paul is out of the race many of his supporters are embracing Barry Obama. You know the guy, he is the one 200,000 Germans went to see. B.O. is a HUGE socialist and many paultards flocked to him. If you read enough of these posts you will have more than a few paultards lecture you about "freedom" but these same jackasses would vote for Stalin if ron paul told them to. Go figure.

[murphycline]

There are always people who support a movement because they're joiners. That and Barry did manage to sucker the anti-war crowd. And please define a lot. But if someone was a Paul supporter and then an Obama supporter then either he's had a political conversion or is a complete and utter moron.

Then tell us balddove, who should we listen to???

[balddove]

Why listen to anybody? Are you one of those euros who needs the "nanny state" to wipe your ass like a two year old child? Can't you decide for yourself what to think or do you need some senile old fart to hold your hand thru life? If you think ron paul is going to "save" you, you are fucked.

[phrek75]

Alot of bla bla ;)

You didt answer my question, tell us what and who you believe in, cant be that hard?

[balddove]

Mike Gravel

[phrek75]

But "they" would never let a man like him get to the top, thats for sure.

Thats how i see american politics anyways, the decent politicians are keept away from the public ín everyway possible, so they are only know by the minority...lets say the people that truly inform themselves.

But i find Ron Paul just as decent as Mike Gravel and i indeed could ascept your choice as well, a very fine man indeed.

[brunchingbrachiosaur]

@phrek75 Ron Paul is already my president; I don't recognise Obama: he is a charlatan and an agent of the corporations.

[vwmisfit]

Typical brainwashed American. And if our country fails on a global scale as it seems to be doing right now. Ill sit back and shake my head watching the stupid backwoods hilljacks, and the misinformed american people who dont know any better, by all means including yourself, suffer from the loss of your rights as an American. The rights that were stated in our constitution ro protect us from our own federal government, which is slowly being taken away from us.

[phrek75]

Mmm america is in for 4 more years of the "same".

[seawolftheGr8]

They said something that was misinformed in the video, and that is that Ron Paul wants to ban abortion. While he is pro-life, Ron Paul has no intention of passing law on the federal level to ban abortion, he merely wants the states to have that choice.

[davyjames]

Well ron paul is for banning abortion, he just doesn't think it's the job of the federal government. But the report is wrong in saying that is what ron paul supporters want. Ron Paul supporters are very diverse and the pro-life issue is not what unites them at all.

[BuBisBack]

Are Brits afraid of God and guns? This news report seems a bit off kilter with the total message of the Rally for the Republic. The two largest wars in human history occur in their continent and they think WE'RE gun freaks. Lol.

[overmind25]

Ron Paul is too moderate on government for me but I still support him. It is not a surprise that the British media doesn't get it. They effectively are the poster child of a big brother state. I can understand the fear of all the God talk but it isn't the focus of Ron Paul's liberty message.

[croat88]

Pretty bias reporting if you ask me. You can tell simply from the editing. At 2:20 they insert a clip of Ron Paul rubbing his legs to imply that he is nervous or some is wrong. They want to paint him as a very "fringe" personality. It is very easy manipulate video to suit your own needs. I've learned all of these techniques in art school.

[zosoo7]

to croat88: It looks to me that they were just wanting to include some of his body language as he made his point to add emphasis. The camera focused on what buttons people wore too.

[croat88]

It is quite simple for someone to to read a person's hand gesture without even looking at their hands, simply the motion of the shoulders is enough to give away what they are doing. I feel it was a very unnecessary clip. I do not see how it adds any emphasis to anything he says.

[batgirl791]

Great video! I will not vote for McCain or Obama. I'll vote Chuck Baldwin or Bob Barr but I want ron paul

[ElCapitan1985]

Wow, that is all I can say to describe how many people came from ALL OVER the country and some from other countries! PEACE and FREEDOM is all we want, lets get the FED off our backs and be FREE!

[bubbaluvs]

I am in this video, in line at the rally. lol. I've made the big time, on youtube! ;-)

[chewbaca1989]

Radical? Gees, man! Constitution and the Revolution was radical for King George.

Freedom!

[overmind25]

The real radicals are those who want to use coercive force to take away people's economic and social liberties under the guise of the general good. Most are not arguing against doing charity work or supporting it but no one has a right to take away someone else's property to help implement programs that they believe are important with the consent of the individual.

[overmind25]

*without the consent of the individual

[kevinz1985]

nice video.

[rollsthepaul]

Ron Paul is not radical; he's old fashioned. Thr GOP/Dems are the radicals that we call "normal". Most people today don't know which way is up. The USA is in it's last dying gasps as an empire. It's about time.

[OutlawTomFantastic]

Nobama '08! That's funny.

[LemuriaInTheSea]

I'm a Texan, and it is not a conspiracy to the creation of a North American Union. Evidence, like the Corridor 69 from the Rio Grande Valley all the way to Canada is just part of the evidence. The NAU is trying to happen. We, in Texas, are try to stop the Corridor 69. Research this. US government trying to eminent domain thousands of acres of land to pass over to a Spanish company with monopoly on ALL business in their "newly acquired" land. Texans for the Constitutional Ron Paul.

[europarl]

He's wrong - "banning abortion" is not the way Ron Paul describes it. He is personally pro-life, but what he's saying is that the abortion issue should not be dealt with at a federal level by 8 old judges. This issue should entirely be left to the states and the Fed should have nothing to do here.

[magnoid]

By the way, he doesn't want to *ban* abortion, but like so many other things, he wants to make it up to the States to decide the mater for themselves.

[Tackleqb]

omg thank you...finally someone understands that he does not want to ban abortion but only leave it up to states...how come so may people distort this!?

[lnsk]

Ron Paul would be our next President without the government run media and rigged voting machines. Makes us Patriots want to work that much harder though to Take Back Our Republic! Let's get to work!!

[anotherday24]

brilliant, thanks for the post.

[gemhunter99]

Thanks for uploading, don't expect we'll see any positive coverage on US Main Stream Media.

[dshepherd15]

They still called him a "radical libertarian" in the beginning.

Haha is there such a thing as a radical conservative?

[leitermann]

Crazy radicals with their "constitutions" & whatnots

[commodore256]

Yeah, Ron Freakin' Paul!!!!!!

[RicarteRiveradotcom]

This is fantastic

[olmofo]

Awesome!
