Last night (I was there).
November 29, 2007 - 10:06 ET by sarcasmoWe owned the skies (not one but 2! planes) the seas (big ol' Ron Paul Yacht playin' Tom Petty songs, which was a good thing because the band the local Republicans hired to play Vinoy park sorta sucked, musically) and the ground (Mitt "won" the straw poll because you were allowed to vote multiple times -- silly me, as an accused-therefore-convicted "Ron Paul spammer" I'd assumed one-person one-vote). We have "people power" that has literally made politicians ranging from Dennis Kucinich to Rudy jealous, and it showed.

Hey Sarc - last night did
November 29, 2007 - 10:16 ET by JimboHey Sarc - last night did you catch how Dr. "Guess how Much Money I've Raised" Paul was cuing his culties in the audience as to when to start and stop booing and start and stop applauding?
Leon says "By the way, I'm not afraid of fat people, I'm repulsed"
Truth Monger Says - "Both are religions [Christianity & Islam], yes - with the same percentage of terrorists."
No, because it wasn't happening & there's no "cult"
November 29, 2007 - 10:32 ET by sarcasmoBut nice try!! What I saw instead was massive media bias on the part of CNN, which has already been effectively busted elsewhere. As I keep saying, NB is not the end all and be all of bias-bustin', and this particular bust proves it conclusively.

It happened Sarc
November 29, 2007 - 10:40 ET by JimboIt was happening, and there is a cult following for the “Dr.”.
Watch it again. The “Dr.” points to the audience, sudden applause by his constituents. How do I know they were his? Because they were as shrill as the teenagers at the Ed Sullivan theater when the Beatles played.
Booing going on that the “Dr.” didn’t like? He shook his head and it immediately stopped.
You have to watch it closely, BUT IT IS THERE.

I don't see it.
November 29, 2007 - 10:47 ET by sarcasmoBut then, I don't see why you keep trying to claim hysterical "" around the word doctor. Face it. He's a doctor who delivered 4K plus babies. Deal with it.
JMR
PS The editor's pick today is also lame, the guy picked that day because of a COMIC BOOK, and libertarian writers in the WaPo, while a strange sighting, have nothing to do with the campaign itself. More bias at NB itself makes any busts of bias NB does suspect, to say the least, but that's why I'm here. Keepin' 'em honest is becoming a full-time job, though, and I'm pressed for time these days.

"He's a doctor who delivered
November 29, 2007 - 11:32 ET by Jimbo"He's a doctor who delivered 4K plus babies."
Good for him. Now explain to me how that qualifies him to be the President of the United States and how it is not a cheap attempt to make him sound more distinguished than he actually is.
By the way. I've worked alongside medical doctors for the last 15 years in my profession. I have found those that insist on being called "Dr." are 99% of the time complete assh**** and insecure in their positions.

November 29, 2007 - 11:35 ET by sarcasmoDon't try strawmen, they make you look even dumber. You're the one with the hysteria over his medical status, like it or not, and I'm just jamming that back in your face. Dr. Paul doesn't seem to care about all the "Mr." stuff, but we never saw it with Doctor Dean.

No Hysteria Sarc
November 29, 2007 - 12:04 ET by JimboNo hysteria here. No need considering I have a better chance of getting the nomination that the “Dr.” does. I use the quotations to elicit these types of responses from you. Works every time. If there is any hysteria, its on the part of they “Dr”’s supporters, one of which you most certainly are. Another sign of a cult I might add.

November 29, 2007 - 13:09 ET by fosstenThis exchange definitely goes in the "Anti-Ron-Paulites are more shrill and insulting than his actual supporters" category.
Look at the name calling you are doing. The fact that you admit that you use the quotes around his title as a pejorative proves my point. You do not gain any moral high ground with your posts.
You cannot find any post where I've called anybody a name or acted shrill while discussing Ron Paul. I've answered all of your questions, despite you ignoring my answers.
By the way, Jimbo, you never answered my question from yesterday. Who are you supporting as the GOP nominee? Is it "Mayor" Giuliani or "Governor" Romney or "Governor" Huckabee? Or is it maybe "Senator" Thompson?
Just using absurdity to illustrate the absurd.

November 29, 2007 - 13:15 ET by JimboI'm still waiting for one of the Cult members to tell how the delivery of 4,000 babies qualifies the "Dr" to be President of the United States.
And when I decide who I'm voting for, I'll be sure to let you know. I'm pretty sure it won't be the "Dr" though.

Jimbo - Dr. is an honorific
November 29, 2007 - 13:25 ET by fosstenIt doesn't. It's an honorific, a societal norm that is given in front of a person's name as a token of respect, acknowledging the title that the person has earned.
Furthermore, I challenge you to produce one single post on this entire website that has asserted that being an MD qualifies someone to be President of the United States. Failing that, you have simply postured and conjured up a silly straw man argument.
What qualifies Dr. Paul to be President has no real relevancy to his medical credentials, except maybe for his position on abortion, which I'm sure you would agree with.
The fact that you are making a mockery of this honorific simply because you don't support the candidate and not because you have any evidence to discredit his actual title, speaks volumes about you.

Hearing Jason complain that Ron Paul would be a "refreshing" change to Bush is silly. Jason would be content with the friggin Wiggles being a "refreshing" change to Bush. Ron Paul was just a convenient name to be used.

November 29, 2007 - 16:15 ET by JasonCGee Rog, for someone who considers himself the resident cut-up, you don't seem to have gotten that my post had nothing to do with Paul or Bush, it was simply a means of putting someone else's honorific title in quotations, to call Jimbo's attention to the juvenille rudeness of doing so to Dr. Paul.

November 29, 2007 - 18:20 ET by fosstenI wonder what it's like to not be excited about any of the Republican candidates. Seriously. I used to be wary of Paul until I examined his record and his reasons for opposing the war. Truth be told, I was a FredHead before this.
Now I get it.

I always liked his domestic
November 29, 2007 - 22:48 ET by Roger the ShrubberI always liked his domestic ideas, but, let's be honest, to be president, you have to be internationally-saavy. He reinforced his lack of international credibility when he stammered and fumbled over the word "Kurd". The people in the north of Iraq are called Kurds, Dr. Paul. Someone who has been in politics this long, having to vote on issues regarding the Iraq War should most definately have known that. It is becuase of things like that that makes him unqualified.
Is this your first election? You have always felt orgasmic over every candidate you've supported?
The point was that putting
November 29, 2007 - 13:47 ET by JasonCThe point was that putting presumptive quotes around someone's title is obviouslt meant as an insult. Paul's legitimacy as a doctor is less questionable than Bush's as president (hate to pick at the 2000 election wound, but in a lot of people's eyes, it's still a point of contention).
I'm pretty confident that there will not be any Republican in the White House in January 2009, so I'm not bothering to worry too much.

November 29, 2007 - 15:24 ET by fosstenI've seen him around here for a while, even had conversations with him. Same for you. That's why it's troubling to see you guys resort to name calling with Ron Paul. He's a Republican who deserves the same treatment as another Republican like Giuliani (who has negatives as strong as Paul in the eyes of true conservatives). I'm just trying to understand why the same people who rail against trolls and name-callers act the same way when it comes to RP.

I've never trashed Ron Paul
November 29, 2007 - 15:29 ET by TruthMongerI've never trashed Ron Paul - I like alot of his views - just feel as though they are too academic for our current reality - too radical - it would most likely take decades even in a best-case scenario to get where Ron wants to go in 4 to 8 years...
I am very impressed with his campaign success so far in spite of that...
TM, fair enough
November 29, 2007 - 15:38 ET by fosstenI was referring to Jack Bauer and Roger, who called Sarc a Paul-bot. I shouldn't have lumped you in with them. I do however, respect your views as well as theirs. Maybe that was how it happened.
Regardless, thanks for answering respectfully and on the issues.
Just a question - your statement that even RP couldn't accomplish his goals in 4-8 years in this country - how much does it disturb you then, how far gone we are, considering that none of the other candidates even remotely approach his goals?

the Federal Government
November 29, 2007 - 15:49 ET by TruthMongerthe Federal Government disturbs me greatly I know that - about 2/3's of it we probably don't even need, and policing most of the globe ourselves is getting to be very annoying - especially with all the international ingrates bitching about it - and expensive...
Reagan did very well on similar matters - and Ron Paul was a close Reagan associate - but Reagan ingeniously knew how to make radical change palatable to the masses
Romney impresses me with the best balance over all - not great - but the best of the lot - and he's a proven fixer
Ron Paul seems pretty much right on track technically speaking - he's almost like Jesus in that respect - another guy I admire
It's taking Jesus a long time to fix things too

My mistake.
I only assumed someone who spams a message board day after day with the same Ron Paul links, boastings, ad accomplishments, and is always the first to jump at the first disparaging word against Paul, as well as attends rallies and debates, might be considered a Paulbot.
Perhaps I should refer to Sarc as a zealot in the future?

I guess I'd rather be a zealot than be despairing of having no good candidates from which to choose. You can thank McCain-Feingold for that, by the way. John McCain virtually guaranteed that nobody who wasn't already wealthy would ever win the Presidency.

Zealotry is an unhealthy
November 29, 2007 - 22:39 ET by Roger the ShrubberZealotry is an unhealthy trait. It tends to bring out the worst in people. Look at previous Newsbuster contributors, for example. We've had rabid bible-thumpers, anti-Christians, socialists/marxists, racists, religious nutjobs, etc. All have a screw or two loose. That is definitely a negative trait.
That being said, I am glad some people have found a candidate they consider speaks for them. Unfortunately, that means you are now in the same bucket as some people who have a few screws loose.
As for McCain, who ever said he was a viable candidate? I mean, he is 71, and would be president at age 76. That's way too old. Do you want a 76-or-77-year-old man in charge of the country? Ask yourself that the next you are behind one on the road.
Oh, and you better watch your sig, because one of the latest zealots to join Newsbusters will call you a violent hatemonger and want to ban you.

December 2, 2007 - 17:46 ET by TruthMongerhey rog, don't leave out the "almost-perfect" zealots like you (somewhere in the perfectly enlightened middle of it all) who don't suffer from all of the above "screw-loose" beliefs that somehow you and your friends seem exclusively able to deem undesirable:)!

November 29, 2007 - 10:54 ET by BruzillaI saw that too! I watched the whole debate last night, and never noticed Paul doing anything. Then I watched part of the O'Reilly replay, and when I was changing channels I saw that the debate was being replayed, and I left it on. It was at the part where McCain and Paul were having their little Vietnam Redux spat, and the camera angle changed to a view from the left side of Paul's podium. I don't know how in the heck I didn't notice it on the first viewing, but Paul was clearly signaling someone in the audience using hand gestures. His eyes were definately focused on someone out there, and he was pointing and moving his hand around, right before he made his "crushing" point about how the fact that we never lost a battle was a meaningless one.
That's right Bru. The
November 29, 2007 - 11:03 ET by JimboThat's right Bru. The instance you describe was the most egregous out of the bunch, but there are examples too. It was either gestures with his hands or with the shaking of his head. And yes, he did seemed to be focused on select portions of the crowd when doing it. The cameras werent focused on him, as you already mentioned, so it was kinda hit or miss as to wherter or not you could catch him doing it. I also noticed that there was a definite change in tone of the audience immediately after he did it too.
The guy and his followers are VERY creepy in my opinion and the word cult is the only word that comes to mind.

Fine, I will, but you're the one who brought her up on the board last night as evidence of your Paul-centric conspiracy theory. And my post had nothing to do with your wife per se, it had to do with you thinking that her agreement with you on a political topic means something.
But again, I will not bring it up again.

Jeez. That's a very
November 29, 2007 - 16:43 ET by fosstenJeez. That's a very childish response, especially since YOU are the one who brought up your wife in the first place. It's very knee-jerk since nobody here even knows her.
Wow.
So - how is Jason supposed to keep her out of it when you keep inserting her into it?
Forget 911, I dial 10MM.

November 29, 2007 - 16:52 ET by JasonCPar for the course, eh?

Leave my wife out of this
November 29, 2007 - 17:11 ET by JimboLeave my wife out of this is a childish response? Really? You are a bigger asshat than Leon.
And for the record, my wife was injected into the thread in a derrogatory way. So now the both of you can go to hell.

You brought her up, tough
November 29, 2007 - 17:17 ET by JasonCYou brought her up, tough guy. No one was derogatory to your wife. If you agreed that Paul was doing something shady onstage, that's super, but you posted it to this forum as proof that your paranoia is valid; how could you expect not to be called out on that?

Ok so even if Ron wasn't
November 29, 2007 - 17:22 ET by MightyMouthOk so even if Ron wasn't signalling the Paulbots then maybe he's got some kind of nervous twitch. Mabe even bordering on tourettes. We haven't had a president like that since Nixon, and we all know what happend to him!

You're right!
November 29, 2007 - 17:30 ET by sarcasmoAmerica clearly should have elected him when I first voted for Dr. Paul, in '88! ;) Good thing the League of Women voters no-longer controlled the "debate" or we'd have been in danger of hearing an actual fiscal conservative, and we can't have THAT!!!
Seriously, it's funny how many of you seem to think he has any control over this phenomenon, but it goes with the news media's bias of automatically-assuming centralized control in any situation they don't fully-understand. In many ways, reading certain pundits these days is a bit like seeing a wealthy but mildly-retarded version of Bill Gates. He's enraged at the existence (and slowly-increasing ease of use) of the Linux operating system, so he "knows" it's a conspiracy against Windows Vista. ;) JMHO. Back later.

So much for your bringing
November 29, 2007 - 17:27 ET by JimboSo much for your bringing up my wife again, huh keyboard warrior? Easier to pick on my wife than defend your master I guess.

1. I'm not a Ron Paul
November 29, 2007 - 17:35 ET by JasonC1. I'm not a Ron Paul supporter
2. I'm not picking on her
3. You keep responding and mentioning her again, without ever even acknowledging the nature of why she's involved in this thread now. You have no one to blame but yourself.

"Jimbo"
November 29, 2007 - 18:30 ET by fosstenWhen you post like that, unprovoked, I imagine a 98-pound Tarzan wannabe pounding his little concave chest with his little ping-pong fists.
1. First you bring your wife into the subject
2. Somebody comments on your comment about her
3. You try to get all Billy Badass about it, even though nobody knows or cares about your wife
4. You lash out, name calling in all directions until people finally go away and leave you to your childish fit
5. Nobody's noticing you now, so you proceed to taunt the silence, trying to provoke another "attack" on your "wife"
And you call Paul supporters nuts? Geez, what a narcissist.
Man, you need anger management or something. I wonder if you're even really married. On second thought, no I don't. I don't even give a crap.

Hey, let's leave the wives
November 29, 2007 - 18:36 ET by balboaHey, let's leave the wives out of it. Now, MY wife, on the other hand, was watching an episode of "Heroes" the other day and swore that Hiro was trying to blink a message to her, to my wife.
Now for the last time, leave my wife out of it!

My bad, Balboa. Never do it again!

November 29, 2007 - 18:41 ET by balboa"Never" do it again?! Is that some kind of joke about my wife? You know her name is Neverlynne...my wife.
I've tried very hard to warm
November 29, 2007 - 12:13 ET by BruzillaI've tried very hard to warm up to Paul, but the guy just doesn't show me that he gets it. For example, I agree 100% with his statements about how the Islamic radicals are attacking us because of our Saudi air base and the fact that we're meddling in their affairs. I also agree 100% that we would react the same way if someone tried to come here and impose their way of life on us. But having said that, I would also agree that our determination to interfere with the Soviet Union's spread of Communism made the Soviets hate us. What's in our best interest is bound to not be in someone else's, and they're going to get mad at us. So what's the point? Are we better off just pulling back to our borders, letting other countries tear each other apart, and trust in God that in the end it'll all work out for the best? Paul seems to think so, and he could be right... and he could be wrong, and being wrong would have horrendous consequences for us.
Also, I used to agree with the concept that we should bring our troops back home and shut down a lot of bases in Europe and Japan. The Soviet Union was gone, so who do we need to protect western Europe and Japan from? But I forgot that we're always just one power-mad nutcase away from it all coming back again. So what do we do if we close the bases, turn them over to the host countries to turn into parks, homes, and farms, and then need to come back ready to fight? If we pull our troops back to CONUS and a problem flares up, the fight'll be over before we can get a decent fighting force up and running. Also, what do we do with an extra couple hundred thousand troops back in CONUS? Bases were built on the assumption that some troops would always be on deployment. If they're all in CONUS, there's no way we could ever support them.
Wow. Where to start?
November 29, 2007 - 12:31 ET by OldSailor88Ok, Bruzilla, time to wake up and smell the coffee.
1. If you think that radical Islam will instantaneously love us and stop killing us the moment we pull out of the Middle East, you need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid and look at this bridge in Manhattan I have for sale.
2. What are we protecting Japan from? Ummmm......North Korea, maybe? Google it.
3. The whole world is mad at us, and they have been since 1775. Get over it. First they were mad at us being upstarts, now they hate us for being so good at upstarting. Just get over the fact that not everyone is going to like us. It's not a popularity contest.
