I don't think this was fair and one needs to look at the broad picture. Ron Paul supporters have the feeling that they are misrepresented by the media, and Cenk seems to agree on that at the end of this video, and I do to. I think that here Paul and his "aids" or whatever believed they were being once again set up for a cheap shot by a media. They were probably being overly paranoid, they probably could have kept their cool, sure, but I think they have a genuine pressure and rightful distrust.

I think he should give up his presidential run because of this scandal. That poor lady - I hope she can go on.

@stormyleewolf Also you've stated no facts, that's all opinion so I answered with an opinion. Also Obama refused to answer a question so according to your standards he isn't a good president. That's a fact. Also you don't see all the questions Obama dodges by ignoring the people that ask him that and you don't see his life 24/7 so how can you say he doesn't lose his cool ? Your just looking for something to try to make a point on why you hate Paul. I understand, I get it but I don't care.

@dorianleakey You're wrong on the disagreeing part. I don't care if you disagree with what he says, just as long as you back it up with truth. And you said Obama never lost his cool ? He talks with a teleprompter, he stutters and stammers and says uhh uhh pretty much every other sentence. That's worst then losing his cool because it shows he has no passion for what he is saying and thats worst then a person losing their cool.

@Robdee999, A President that looses his cool and refuses to answer questions does not make a good President. Obama kept his cool, even when confronted by OWS protesters in a mike check, he kept his cool. Ron Pual will make a lousy president. We have had enough with lousy presidents like Bush, Secretive and assanine. Ok Paulyttes, give me your best counter shot. But truth is truth. Ron Paul doesn't have ability to deal one on one with others and he would have to pick a VP like Bush did to do it.

@Robdee999 They are not allkPaul haters, some of them agree with some things he does and not others, and that is what happened here. Because you support Ron Paul you cannot imagine people disagreeing with ANYTHING he does unless they are totally opposed.

I found the question as a waste of time to Ron Paul. Yes he could have answered simply and quickly,but i guess the over reaction was from frustration. Does the media go to every celebrity, politician etc over why they didn't shake a persons hand or sign their name on something for a fan, no. I saw a video where Mitt didn't answer a question from a guy on a wheelchair; he just walked away, and the media didn't get in Mitt's face about it. I Hope Ron Paul becomes president.

It seems to me that the media was trying to paint Dr. Paul as uncaring about his voter base. Dr. Paul didn't want to get dragged into that hellhole. I think he made the right choice by getting out of that situation.

Did they mention why it was that he left diner?
