Ron Paul to be on PBS's "NOW" series, 12-14-07

[Osborn F Enready]

NOW on PBS

NOW talks to Congressman Ron Paul and his supporters across the country about Paul's extraordinary presidential campaign and the political waves it's causing.

[Bailey Faye]

not interested, he is a little "out there" for me. The radio station here banned him and won't even say his name on the air.

[Osborn F Enready]

Funny, he is the only one addressing the problems I see you citing in all the other threads.

Each to his own.

I don't see how learning about someone is a bad thing, nor do I see how too many choices is a bad thing.

I do agree, however, I have heard him do interviews with the local talk radio stations, and I don't find him to be a quality candidate to run this country. Not that I agree or disagree with everything he has to say, he's just not the right person for me. Is he really addressing all the problems or is he just talking?

Ron Paul is telling people more truth than a great deal of them are willing to accept.


Get past the shock value, and investigate the points you take issue with for yourself.


The major media has little to say about most of these issues, so for the vast majority of Americans, these issues are off the radar screen, and beyond the realm of intelligent discussion.


It's up to each individual to decide for themselves.

your attitude reflects leadership. who ever heard of a radiostation banning a person's name?

I picked up on that as well, but I didn't want to get that deep into the discussion tonight.


Let me guess, aClear Channel station doesn't wan't to recognize Pauls candidacy?


That act alone should indicate that it's the message the money doesn't like, and not the person. Evidence of conspiracy.

Eww Clear Channel radio FTL.......... All I hear about them is bad things. I had a friend who was a radio dj and had worked for many different organizations who were all eventually bought out by clear channel and turned into christian rock channels or latino music... Not that I don't like latino music ever now and again, but they say via the demographics of the areas, those stations needed to be changed as far as the genre is concerned. I lose a halfway decent all rock station in my town a couple years ago. I just thank god I still have my Z104.5 The Edge to listen to as they can never be bought.

I was a radio dj in training at one of those clear channel radio stations. I ended up hating radio so much, I can't stand to listen to it any more. Yeah, that means silent car rides. What agravates me most as a listener, is every channel takes commercial breaks at the same time. screw em.

Heh, I'm right there with you, right down the the silent rides in the car.


The funny thing is, I just answered some questions for a survey, and the lady asking the questions refused to believe that I had turned the radio on for the last time. She just couldn't come to grips with a person who was willing to boycott what they did not like.


In the end, I had to tell her the reason I could not listen was that I have no remore control for the radio, and without the ability to mute the commercials, I'm not tuning in.


Oh, and television is following suit with the synchronized commercials. Soon it will be time to boycott these criminals as well.

That should tell you enough to get your vote.

What "qualities" are you looking for? Please tell why you don't think Paul is Presidential material. Was George Bush qualified? Was Bill Clinton?

[Compugasm]

Hey Osborn, do you know where the thread about radio hosts interviewing candidates unfairly is? I can't rememeber specifics about the thread, but it was something like Sean Hannity calling candidates "crazy" or "looney" right before he has them on his show, and purposely tangential questions to make them sound looney.

[Lasher]

Quote by: Compugasm I only watch "4 channels". That is in quotes, because the cable company forces you to buy the extended basic package to get the Discovery, History, and Home Improvement channels. So I have 100+ channels of stuff I never watch, yet have to pay for. There was a time when I didn't even own a TV. A former roommate left me the one I have. Long story short, phone/internet/cable costs me $120 a month. I still think that is expensive, but I've heard people spending more than that talking on cellphones.

Most people are morons, with a capital "M."

I think anyone who spends $600 to buy an iPhone, then another $300 for an iPod, is moron. Almost $1000 to talk and listen to music, jesus.

Who is the "right person for you?"

Have you ever of doing something manually?

Indeed, I turned the radio off. No more problem.

Whew! It's not just me that noticed the synchronized commercials; kept telling myself it was all mere coincidence. It's friggin' unreal the amount of ads we're bombarded with on a daily basis.

Wait wait wait, a RP support buying into an unlikely conspiracy theory, who of thought (since the bulk of RP supporters buy into the highly unlikely 9/11 conspiracy theories)!

Only a few more weeks and I won't have to heard about Radical Paul anymore!
