It looked pretty orchestrated to me that Jay was to ask these questions and Dr. Paul was supposed to give relatively silly answers that were already maybe pre-determined. It doesn't seem like something Dr. Paul would say on a regular day, thus I can't help but think that the show wanted him to say those things for entertainment value.

Actually the response to his swipes has been OK so far

That was BEAUTIFUL! I love the answers from Ron and to have Joe come out like that.....man I don´t know what to say, he is an amazing guy.
I always listen to his podcast and I love it because it is open (no cemented thinking), funny and very interesting.
Even for me who don´t smoke or take drugs in other forms can truly relate to things he says cause he really has an open mind to everything, he´s a beautiful person.

First to Jay Leno...who has always been fair to Dr. Paul. We need to really "bomb" him with thanks.

Second, as someone mentioned earlier...the Tonight Show staffer that not only scheduled Dr. Paul on the night of the Money bomb, but also on the night that a ardent supporter was also on. Some how we need to get some thanks to them...

And Third...but definitely not last...to Joe Rogan because he came out on that stage and totally gave it to Dr. Paul, wearing the shirt, and basicly saying that he loves the man (like we do). We totally have to make sure that whatever Rogan touches gets the midas touch! =]

We all know how effective we are at letting folks know when they cross the line...lets show them our strength in how we thank them too =)

Much Luv and Respect all!

He Knocked It Out Of The Park

Submitted by WalkerWire on Sat, 12/17/2011 - 04:03. Permalink

Ron Paul was in top form tonight - this is obviously broadcast to a major audience to begin with, and will certainly receive a massive amount of secondary coverage. He addressed every question articulately and with aplomb. They bumped their stand-up comic to give Paul an extra segment...and then Rogan.

Huge, HUGE night for Ron Paul and Ron Paul supporters.

p.s. nothing at all to worry about on Bachman/Santorum comment. First of all, it's true. Second of all, the only people it will offend are hardcore Neocons that were never voting for Paul anyhow. Third, it's just more proof of how absurd it is to suggest he is racist. Fourth, it gives Independents and disillusioned Democrats yet another reason to wake up and realize that they should support Ron Paul.

Smiled. Realizing that the MSM will ultimately have to cover what Ron Paul said, giving him more attention, and forces Bachmann to expain her self. We all know bachmann hates muslims, and we all know she sucks at lying. Definately a postive for Ron Paul. Very tactful I must say.

This should be fun. ;)

just fast forward...

Aimee Allen's song rocks... Maybe the campaign should try to use it more often (after getting the rights of course). But it looked like the band did their homework finding the song...

It'll be interesting to see how they're going to spin it as a negative for Ron and somehow a positive for Romney-Newttles, leaving out of course the audience's very favorable reactions.

p.s. Thanks to those audience members who wore their Ron Paul shirts - we saw you!

Unless Ron Paul! -Lorax

Ron is playing 3d chess - the media is screwed.

Submitted by egervari on Sat, 12/17/2011 - 03:07. Permalink

The more I think about this line about Michelle and Rick, I think Ron may have solved like 6 different problems in like 10 seconds of airtime.

Maybe I'm being a bit presumptuous, but I actually think he may have just won the election. What can they do now?

1. Ron is no longer "weak" in the minds of conservatives because he is assertive and goes on the offensive with his ads and with his comments. He also fights for what he believes in, even if the audience boos him. He's tough.

2. The newsletters are finished. If they want to bring them up, they have to attack Michelle and Rick too, which they won't. These two have gotten a pass in the media for YEARS about their racism. They will have to treat "everyone fairly" if they want to press those newsletters ever again. Will they destroy Rick's and Michelle's careers over this? That is what it is going to take.

3. The iran bomb thing is now debunked. If Michelle really is a racist (which they have to cover tomorrow in the media, and the answer will have to be a resounding 'yes')... then that basically says the only reason Michelle wanted to bomb Iran is because she is a racist and not because it's in America's best interests. This is combined with the fact-checks released today. It actually shows that the establishment republicans are just a bunch of crazy warmongers who want to bomb Iran for racist reasons. It vindicates Ron Paul's position. Ron told the truth about Michelle and he told the truth about Iran. He's telling the truth all the time!

4. The media has no clear direction of where to attack, because any way to approach this, they are screwed. How can they possibly spin this or the newsletters now? Their best option is to not even bring it up - which they CANNOT do because millions of people have already seen this on Jay Leno. Ron has basically cornered them. (f'ing brilliant. 3d chess!)

5. Wanting to stay out of Iran's business is now not considered weak, because there was no need for us to do it unless we admit as a country that we really just hate muslims. (f'ing brilliant).

6. The people now know that Ron can reflect their inner thoughts. People are thinking, "Sigh... I'm glad I wasn't the crazy one for thinking she was crazy this entire time.... I'm glad someone actually said something!" America is with Ron Paul on this quote about Bachmann! This is not a controversial statement. In fact, it's a sigh of relief!

I don't know how Ron did this - but this was NOT an accident. It was absolutely planned. It is the best political move he has ever made. It is shear genius.

the unsung hero of today, and that is whoever is in charge of booking guests on the Tonight Show. I would bet that he or she is a RP supporter and that it is no coincidence that RP was booked on the day of the big Tea Party moneybomb, especially when the other guest was one of the most famous supporters of Ron Paul after Vince Vaughn.

So whoever you are, thanks for making this happen! You are Da Man! (or Da Woman!)

Because the show was so great with Dr. Paul and Joe Rogan. I don't recall watching a show where the number one guest was given so much attention that they went to two commercial breaks and then finally they time ran out for the scheduled last guest.

Dr. Paul was right on. He looked great and sounded great and is obviously now having a fun time on the campaign trail. I was so happy to see him laughing and having fun.

What a roller-coaster ride we had this week. But look at Ron! He is there, after an evening of a grueling "fox debate charade" and a long airplane ride across the country, as brilliant, humorous and PRESIDENTIAL as ever. He is truly fit and ready for the job!

Kudos to J Leno, Joe R and all those RP supporters, who made the trip to be with Ron for him. I'm sure that your enthusiastic energy gave him the fuel to form those wonderfully inspired answers today.

(-y. . . happy in the boonies to be able to take a peek at a memorable RP show on a TeaParty anniversary day :-)

usually the first guest gets 2 segments

before and after the commercial break but RP got 3 segments (which is why the 3rd person on the show got rescheduled). bummer for that guy but awesome for RP and Joe!

Ron should invite the man to

Ron should invite the man to do open for him at one of his upcoming speeches. Would be a nice move by the campaign to help out the poor guy they bumped.
