Comments on: Ron Paul Supporters Lash Out At Fox News

Cable Channel Invited Just Five Candidates To GOP Forum In New Hampshire This Weekend

It''s the types of postings Ron supporters are making on here that have hurt Paul so much. His negatives are at 45% and his positives only 23%. That number is amazing considering that he has not been vetted or criticized by the media (in fact they''''ve ignored him as they well should), and he has also been ignored by his fellow candidates. The other candidates never mention him much less criticize him. That means the only info the public is getting about him is from the candidate and you folks, which is probably the most favorable info possible. And yet with no one publicly saying bad things about him, 45% of the population has a negative opinion. In other words Paul''''s own positions and the unfortunate manner in which many of his supporters have been rabidly presenting his case has hurt him tremendously. The same thing happened to Howard Dean. His own supporters were often his worst enemy.

BTW, I posted this several times to counter a previous poster who posted his over and over hoping to wipe all negative Paul comments off the first page.

Didn''t you get the memo.

The fix is in.

It''s very sad that the debates are excluding the candidates of both parties who are anti-war: first Senator Mike Gravel, then Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and now Congressman Ron Paul. The networks are injecting themselves in the political process inappropriately.

The real reason behind FOX blocking Paul is likely because of their control by the Republican Establishment. Some other media outlet may have their own political agenda in omitting a candidate. The point is that it is NOT their PLACE to do so. PERIOD.

Actually it is terribly amusing to see a Paul Supporter state this position.

Given that broadcast media are no longer governed by the "broadcast fairness doctrine" precisely as a result of the rush to deregulate commercial corporations as a result of adopting "free market" principles.

This push to eliminate regulation & restraint of corrupt corporate practices is something which libertarians in general and Dr. Ron Paul specifically have been quite vocal in promoting since it''s inception during the so-called "Reagan Revolution".

As a result of deregulation which has occurred over the last 3 decades in the telecom industry, Fox News does in fact have EVERY RIGHT to exclude whomsoever they choose from access to campaign coverage.

Afterall, it''s "their" broadcast bandwidth. They "own" it. It was "given" to them by the FCC with few limits on what they can do with their "property".

Perhaps, some of the more thoughtful Paulbots will give a bit more consideration as to why so many of their fellow citizens tend to be a bit sceptical of "free market" rhetoric & the rush "to end government regulation". :-)

It is disturbing what Fox is doing. Likewise a radio show that Mark Levin hosts which I used to like because of the constitutional theme in regards to my country absolutely hates Ron Paul, the very kind of candidate that Mark touts should behave like,.....what''s with that? Does he think that we all hate Israel or something because some dang Nazis somewhere donated some money to Ron''s campaign? Anybody that has read some of my posts regarding Israel should be thoroughly unconfused about how I stick up for them. But hey, the man that we see according to his voting record, and with whom we have to do because of that, started with "We The People" without ANY MEDIA SUPPORT AT ALL and look what we have done in so short of time! Therefore I say we should continue doing what we''re doing and not rely on any TASS like news network to do our work for us. If we get some, so be it. I will keep pulling the line for the best AMERICAN candidate that I have ever seen run for the Presidency,.......and yes that means Ronald Reagan too. Ron Paul has re-enthused my patriotism so much my head is up, my jaw is squared, my shoulders are back and chest out! And I will bend my back and IQ pulling that line with all the strength of my LOVE FOR AMERICA!.....Ron Paul, proven public servant of the Constitution in 2008! GO USA!!!
