Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US — (CNN) Ron Paul Interview On CNN With Eliot Spitzer After Exploratory Announcement...

Transcript: PAUL: Why should you have two sets of rules, one prior restraint on every economic matter, but I'm not allowed to have prior restraint on your TV program. It's not the same principle.

SPITZER: Because -- no, no, no. Congressman, look, the First Amendment is different. We all appreciate that. Speech is something sacrosanct.

PAUL: We as freedom lovers don't see the difference. We believe that individual property rights are the same as speech rights. You can't have two kinds of rights. That's just what happened.

But you endorse a status quo of all the conservative and liberal arguments today because you think there's economic rights that were here and political rights over here.

SPITZER: Anyway, let's switch gears. Why are you running? I want you to have your fair shot explaining to the public why you should be the president of the United States.

PAUL: I am determined to counteract many of the fallacies that you have just stated.

(LAUGHTER)

PAUL: That is my goal in life.

SPITZER: All right.

PAUL: Because you speak for the status quo so clearly that you motivate me.

SPITZER: You know what?

PAUL: I said there is our problem.

SPITZER: The notion that I'm viewed as the status quo, the folks out there think I'm anything but.

Anyway, Congressman, it is always a joy to have you here. An intellectual sparring session. Thank so much and congratulations.

PAUL: All right. There we go.

SPITZER: Thank you. Thank you.

  • Spitzer is a shill.

  • What a retard, but at least he gave Paul air time to get his views out there.

    Love that elitists' first amendment right takes precedence over individuals' property rights. Ron Paul made a great point on the fact that rights are all equal and every citizen has them.

    According to Spitzer, I'm sure people were dying in the streets from using pot before his precious government saved the people from themselves.

  • douche

    

  • worst interview ever.

  • @Jack102589

    Spitzer is just plain stupid

  • Spitzer is absolutely right.

  • Spitzer seemed a little tense and wound up, I guess this interview was before his visit to a hooker!

  • @Vote4Taco

    He's the lefties version fo BillO

  • I'm a liberal but what the hell was that. That interviewer needs to learn to shut the fuck up. This isn't about liberal vs conservative, it should be evident no matter what your bias that this person talks just like Bill O'Reilly.

  • God damn Spitzer is an asshole. Let him fucking finish.
