No, you’re not watching a clip from the soon-to-be-released “Cloverfield”. This is a group of very, um, spirited Ron Paul supporters who were protesting the exclusion of their candidate from FOX’s debate/forum, despite the fact that he’s raising as much money as Clinton or Obama and is polling nine points ahead of Grandpa Fred in New Hampshire, who was inexplicably invited to the event despite his busy napping schedule. Sean Hannity came out of the building, and that’s when Paul’s supporters took off after him like he was Frankenstein’s Monster. (Remember, when you throw a snowball at Sean Hannity, aim for the face or body — the hairdo can survive a nuclear blast).
FOX’s unfair treatment of Ron Paul has exposed a damning fact: FOX doesn’t support republican candidates — they support George W Bush neocon republican candidates. Any republican who doesn’t fit that description might as well be Rosie O’Donnell. It became obvious in the September FOX republican debate in New Hampshire, when Paul supporters (and assumedly FOX devotees) were stunned to see how unfairly and dishonestly FOX treated their candidate. It got worse as Paul was continuously attacked during his appearances on FOX while other repub candidates were lobbed the softest of softballs.
But shutting Paul out of the Jan. 6 debate was apparently the last straw, especially when FOX’s justifications of not having enough room in their remote studio for more candidates turned out to be (surprise!) another huge lie. FOX’s snubbing was so egregious that many conservatives protested and the New Hampshire republican party even pulled out of the debate as a sponsor.
As Roger Ailes, the president of FOX, said, “Bias has to do with the elimination of points of view,” (which is strange since bias is supposed to mean a preference for one point of view, not an exclusion of all others). On the O’Reilly Factor today, BOR wouldn’t even mention Paul as one of the candidates.
FOX is for Bush neocon republicans only. Anyone else will be slimed, slandered, or ignored. If you disagree, ask a Ron Paul supporter — otherwise known as a former FOX viewer.
Thanks for the clip, Sagan. Fox sux. Go Ron Paul, WIN!
