'We Like Ron Paul' - Fox News Focus Group and Fox Five Panel

Even if this is another ploy - courting Ron Paul supporters in the hope of keeping them around after Ron (hypothetically) loses the nomination - it is very valuable.

For starters, it gives the viewers moral support that being for Ron Paul is not solely for out-group members. It recognizes that Ron is sincere and labels both Mitt and Newt as con-men. And even while labeling him "funny" it was clearly referring to the humor of a confident and wise man, using it to expose the failings of his opponents in a mind-sticking manner.

Like glasnost, if this is really a ploy it is a booby-trap for those using it.

But it seems to me there's a chance it is straight. A thing to remember about conservatives - even Neocons: They already believe in most of the targets and many of the tactics for achieving them that we do. They just have a few (sometimes major) differences of opinion with us. If they change a small number of ideas they can become patriots as well. So they are prime recruit material.

Ron voices very persuasive arguments on each of these ideas. Don't be surprised to see former opponents coming around on some of them, and gradually come to support him - or at least stop opposing him. (Even if it gets them into some hot water with their management.) We need to be prepared for an influx of REAL supporters from among the ranks of our former opponents.

They'll typically have to change more than one opinion. So it won't be a sudden epiphany and a whole-hearted all-in break. But these changes are what we WANT. So we have to be prepared to accept and encourage them when they occur.

And we must ESPECIALLY avoid dumping on them for their FORMER opinions, once they have seen one of the lights. Instead we should applaud them for having the guts to admit they had been wrong and the wit to now be right. B-)

The whole POINT is to get as many people as possible working for liberty, peace, and prosperity. We want to convert others, not wipe them out. (Even some of the powerful in the old system might eventually change, at considerable short-term cost to themselves, once they see it is unsustainable and this offers them a way out.)

I was canvassing for sigs yesterday and someone actually repeated the line "Ron Paul is a funny guy".....now I know where that person got the line from....they were unknowingly, subconciously parroting something they heard on TV....

I suppose FOX waved a finger in his face after saying he was really starting to like Ron Paul.

But you can feel him wanting to support Dr. Paul.

I hope he does because he's an intelligent person - unlike everyone else on that "Five" show.

Take the good when it comes, and say thank you. No matter what their motives, it's good publicity. Being nice will encourage more of it.

A couple of weeks ago, Murdoch tweeted that he really likes Ron Paul. It was after a debate. That was like flipping a switch to the On position, for more Ron Paul friendly reporting.
It's good for Fox, and Murdoch. Boosts their ratings. He isn't stupid. They have probably lost some viewers over it.
He also knows that CBS, ABC, NBC, and CNN, are losing viewers by the droves because of lack of Ron Paul coverage. If he plays nice, and gives us the news we want, Fox does better.

So, enjoy. Say thank you.

seems to be the latest attempt to give Dr. Paul a nod while also trying to dismiss him. Have heard this phrase a few times on both CNN and Fox.

I think its safe to say we no longer need to tell people to google Ron Paul!

Finally, 3 minutes of fair and balanced reporting on Ron Paul

But I'm still voting for Ron Paul or NONE AT ALL. ... Just to be clear, in the event you were trying to Jack Welch me.

Now it's time to go watch the Judge on Freedom Watch on your far superior network: Fox Business. ;)

Even with Welch saying that the media and the G.O.P. should be nice to Ron Paul and his supports one nice acknowlegement of him won't convince me that their blackouts and smear tacks will stop. The media many times have a discussions on the candidates and Ron Paul's name is not even mentioned. The media is like a chameleon who can change in a moments notice.

...Freedom really works!

It's so obvious that they don't really mean that stuff they're saying. They don't really like Ron Paul. They're just using this as a tactic.

Even the schill "focus-group" said "we'll have our nominee by the SUMMER.

Saddle up! Forward! Ho!
