Ron Paul compared to a Terrorist on National Television

Published: May 27, 2007

Julianna Goldman, a daughter of Barbara Goldberg-Goldman and Michael Goldman of Potomac, Md., is to be married this evening to David Shuster, a son of Susan Klein of Nashville, Ind., and Arnold Shuster of Bloomington, Ind. Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt is to perform the ceremony at the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington.

The bride, 26, and bridegroom, 39, work as news correspondents in Washington; she reports on the White House and Congress for Bloomberg News, and he on politics for MSNBC, appearing regularly on “Hardball With Chris Matthews” and “Countdown With Keith Olbermann.”

Last month, the bride, a magna cum laude graduate of Barnard, finished her first year of study for a combined M.B.A. and master’s in government at Johns Hopkins. The bridegroom, who graduated from the University of Michigan, is a part-time graduate student working on a master’s in public policy at Georgetown.

The bride’s father is a partner in Silverberg Goldman & Bikoff, a Washington law firm. Her mother is the founder and the president of Regal Domestics, an employment agency in Rockville, Md. She is also on the board of the National Jewish Democratic Council, an advocacy group in Washington.

The bridegroom’s mother, who retired as a professor of education and the chairwoman of the department of curriculum and instruction at Indiana University, now volunteers there as a faculty mentor and doctoral dissertation committee member. His father, also retired, was the president and chief executive of the Meridian Group, a company in Indianapolis that specialized in the buying and selling of companies.

The bridegroom is a stepson of Rose Mahern and of Robert Agranoff.

In life, you win one you lose one. But this seems like is way more than just another election, it is a matter of death and life. It is no longer just a matter of the better policy winning the day. It has become the question of survival of certain extreme thought process respresented by CFR and necon population, who it seems are way too immature to be representatives of any aspect of human society.

Never thought that in U Of S (the most prsoperous country) there could be so extreme opinions about life, liberty and prosperity. This just says humans are way behind in understanding what life, liberty, and freedom means. Those things can never be achieved in the current election ( represented by chaos and such extermism). It will take RP to not only win this one but similar individuals win elections for the next 50 years for humans to understand that violence never brings victory, it just creates animosity, more violence. The concept that just because someone is strong in some way or the other to overpower another way of living or justifying one's action is so dark-agish. We need to fast forward this leg of human existence.

As far as I am concerned, till a few days ago this was an election where I got excited by a candidate's view of the current state of affairs. Now, it is way way more....

To Whom it May Concern,

David Shuster, on your “Morning Joe” segment with Joe Scarborough, recently compared Dr. Ron Paul, candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, to Al Qaeda. Specifically, he said that Ron Paul and his supporters represented the Al Qaeda wing of the Republican Party. I deeply resent this implication on a personal level, and given our current government’s enthusiasm for attempting to track down terrorist suspects “wherever they may be”, I feel the Mr. Shuster has slandered my name and jeopardized my security and privacy by directly accusing me (as a Ron Paul supporter) of being a terrorist.

Is there some other conclusion I was to take from that pathetic and inflammatory comment?

I have been a dedicated and passionate watcher of your television station for the past few years, in large part because I thought your political commentary and coverage, as represented by quality journalists like Keith Olbermann, was largely unbiased and accurate. MSNBC had slowly cured my skepticism of the accuracy and relativity of “mainstream” news. With his callous and ignorant comments regarding Dr. Ron Paul, David Shuster has greatly damaged your credibility and integrity as a news organization. Fox News, however, would be proud.

If an Emmy can be won by a so-called journalist employing the shallow depth of thought, reason and logic as Mr. Shuster on your program, I am quite satisfied to forget watching MSNBC from now on. I wouldn’t want to give the impression that he was in any way worthy of recognition, let alone a job.
