Why Fox Hates Ron Paul
Fox is just a propaganda machine, and Ron Paul does not drink their Kool-Aid. When they tried to create fear over the non-incident in with the Iranian Gunboats, he shot it down. Even Democracy Now on LinkTV stated the following about Ron Paul and this hoax:
JUAN GONZALEZ: Gareth Porter, I’d like to ask you, I was watching the Republican debate last night on Fox News and was astonished to see one of the moderators spend quite a bit of time on this topic, questioning every one of the candidates as to whether they believe the Navy commander on the scene did the right thing by not blowing the Iranian boats out of the water. Surprisingly, only Ron Paul, the maverick, even questioned some of the facts of the incident as reported. Your response to this suddenly becoming a topic for the presidential debates?
GARETH PORTER: Well, I think it’s astonishing that you have this incident being regarded as a test of whether the United States is being belligerent enough, when the commanders of the ships themselves clearly did not regard this as a threat to the safety of their ships. This is the point, again, that the commander of the 5th fleet made very clearly. He was asked by reporters whether the commanders were close to firing on the Iranian ships, and he said, “No, that was not the case,” that at no point were they about to fire on the ships and that they did not feel threatened by the Iranian boats. Bear in mind, what has not been reported by the media, that these are essentially small speedboats that are at most armed with machine guns, not with any weapons that were capable of harming those ships.

This can be considered a good thing.
If they are attacking us this much and censorsing Ron Paul this bad that means we have struck a chord with them and they are running scared. Fox News dosen't know what to do. They exclude him from a debate and get bashed, they let him on a debate and still get bashed. I believe the tides are turning finally. We are making a difference and all we can do is push this further and farther than we have before. The seeds of liberty have been planted and its growing like kudzu!! More and more everyday. The elites have no idea what to do. If they attack us we only grow stronger. If they ignore us we only grow stronger. If they laugh at us then we get angry and grow even stronger! There is no stopping this movement. Now its the people's turn to be heard at last!
2nd Most Digged in the last 30 days
As the title implies, looks like this is the 2nd most digged item in the last 30 days. If it keeps growing like this, that would be awesome.

Maybe this will become as viral as the HD-DVD thing with the string of hex numbers that happened a while back!
Not sure what to make of this...
After reading this thread, I checked Fox News' schedule for this weekend and they are not going to replay the SC debate. At least it's not scheduled.
With all their past debates, they replayed them during the weekend.
They really have no more credibility. And frankly, the candidates that joined in the laughing and snickering at Ron Paul should be ashamed of themselves. The have demonstrated not only in their records, but with their childish behavior that they are not fit for the office of president.
It's true; It's already buried
I just wrote a piece documenting the whole break-down of events.
I typed-out the entire transcript of that segment, so you can read Paul's words.
And it has a good, non-YouTube link to the clip.

Ok, this sucker's at 642
Ok, this sucker's at 642 DIGGs and has not become popular. I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with my DIGG!!
I talked to a friend
in San Diego who only saw the re-broadcast of the Faux SC debate and when I talked about Ron Paul's answer to the electability question, my friend said he didn't see that in there. I can't confirm that it wasn't there, but he was familiar with all of the other questions that Paul answered.
If Faux is re-broadcasting the debate and editing out Ron Paul, the viewers should be informed and the world should know. It's as big as them excluding him.
They didn't show it here in
They didn't show it here in san francisco, either. I just watched it and was shocked - I watched every second of the rebroadcast, because I couldn't get home in time for the earlier one. I assure you, that segment was cut.

Faux didn't air the original in my area
As I said in another thread, Faux didn't air the original in my area either... To make it even worse we have TWO Faux stations here. Wonder if that means they're going to air the edited verson for us this weekend?

It seems to me
that Fox re-broadcasting the debate and editing out Ron Paul is an even bigger story than them pulling it off youtube. Not only is it censoring Ron Paul, it is the equivalent of falsifying the debate.
Agreed!

scroll down and read wcasino's comment
he has both the original and re-broadcast versions on his dvr and says the clip was removed from later airings.
Did anyone Tivo both airings
Did anyone Tivo both airings for comparison?
Where is the evidence?
This sounds like a rumor/scam to me. I bet someone made this up to whip Paul supporters into another conspiracy frenzy. It's a very easy thing to do.
can't argue there
in any event, the clip has been posted so many times now on YouTube it may end up in the classic category.
Yeah, this is great.. Fox
Yeah, this is great.. Fox forces them to take the video down for the DIGG that reached 6000+ (and climbing) and 6000+ copies go up on YouTube, MetaCafe, LiveLeak, etc. D'oh!
Anyone know Flash?
Someone make a flash video with all the talking heads and put the audio to it so that FIX news can't claim copyright infringement even though case law has been proven that they cannot.
Also, Ron Paul should have added to the end of his response:
"Now that I have answered your question, answer one of mine, After all the electioneering atempts FOX has made towards silencing my message, can you honestly sit there and call yourselves a credible media outlet?"
ahh I would have loved tohear the roar of the crowd and the look on their faces.
I posted it
I watched and videotaped the debate, but I didn't see the re-broadcast. Anyone have a link to show the "electability" question was edited out so it's more than a rumor? I have it saved as an flv file, so I can repost it any time if it gets removed. I posted it here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=m4lEt6-8jOI (This is my first post; I hope everything shows up correctly.)

I didn't see the re-broadcast, I'm assuming others did
but it's for sure that youtube has been pulling this very clip. I'm not sure why they would do that except at the behest of Fox.
I'm not
I'm not assuming anyone saw it. I'm suspending judgement until someone provides the video. Even then, it could be doctored by someone on the internet in order to fool people. This may all be B.S.
Ah Devon again,,,
thats two strikes my friend. I defended you the last time and will remain neutral this time. Third strike and you get declared as a troll.
Call me a troll if you want
It doesn't bother me. It's just a silly personal attack. But you should be ashamed of yourself for condemning someone for asking for evidence before spreading something that may be false. I'm doing what any rational responsible person would do.
Re-uploaded and
Re-uploaded and Re-dugg.

gee, do you think Fox will now understand
that as often as they try to pull this, it will go back up? LOL

Another digg of the same video
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Electable
The digg thread is still up and filled with posts. Lets start
adding links in the post to the video
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Cut_from_re_air_What_Fox_N...
Digg it up people, with a vengeance
we will NOT be silenced
they don't know what to do with Ron
by "they" I mean all old media - but Fox has been the worst offender mainly because their viewers (conservatives) would normally be the most receptive to Paul's message, so they try to shut him out, and the mocking, and censoring, and not reporting by fox and all big media backfires on them.
The "electability" question resulted in Ron Paul's greatest answer in any debate so far - so they will try and censor - and the unintended consequence is that it will get more attention and will get people thinking "why was this done?"
But I think the route they are taking was strategically the best for them, because if they treated Ron Paul fairly and reported his every move like the others, he would be about 70% in the polls and probably have half the democrats as well.
So we are still winning, but their tactics are just slowing us down a little.
