Submitted by 13 on Tue, 10/16/2007 - 05:47Was anyone watching this ? I thought it was interesting ....First Harwood says to never cross Ron Paul supporters .... then Joe talks about picking his son up from school ... and Ron Paul signs everywhere they went ....the rest of it wasnt so great ... but this will at least get people looking....
soo ... who saw it ... who recorded it ... and whatcha think ?
edit :lol... and again at 7:20 ... he responds to an email from Ron Paul supporter about the first mention above .... the discussion after was actually pretty decent ...

See, our efforts pay off!
See my topic on CNN and lets do the SAME!
politely with fact, of course ;-)
Yeah it was good
Basically Joe legitimized the Ron Paul voting to Harwood, that it wasn't spammers. Saying that there is a wide scope of supporters for Ron Paul, that his kid was mentioning that there are Ron Paul posters and stencils everywhere.
I think the email reply was a little odd though. Because Joe, even though he supported Ron Paul, he did say many of the Republicans in the house called him crazy. Joe made fun of the email replier, implying he lived in his mom's basement with cheetos on his shirt.
However, he did state when he called Ron Paul crazy, and that's what set off that email reply. What he meant that Joe himself, when he was in the house was also considered crazy and that crazy is not necessarily a bad thing. The girl (Lisa?) on the show further legitimized Ron Paul's CNBC debate showing by stating that she felt that he did the best of the Republicans.
I think the emailer, whomever it was, did more harm than good. I didn't understand half the things he said either.
Anyway, in the end Harwood is probably going to write an apology letter, and at the same time call Ron Paul a long shot or some crap like that. It's almost expected by now, this media bias is getting old.
I saw it
I thought it was fantastic! Just before he was about to sign off, Harwood said something like this to Joe "What do you think about this guy, Ron Paul, 'cause I wanna tell you - don't cross him and his followers. We had a poll up on our website after last weeks debate, and Ron Paul starting dominating the poll. So we decided to take it down because we thought there was something fishy going on. I wanna tell you, we got thousands and thousands and thousands of emails from his passionate supporters upset with our decision."
Joe answered with his personal experience with seeing Ron Paul signs everywhere he goes. Then he tells Harwood that the rest of Congress thought that Ron Paul was crazy, but here is great part - he then says that when listening to Ron Paul he found him to be a brilliant man. There was a bunch of other good stuff said, but I can't recall all of it.
Bottom line - I found the entire segment EXTREMELY positive. I think if someone posts the video, you all will agree.
I take my marching orders from the Constitution!
I saw it and was very impressed
John Harwood went way out of his way to bring up Dr. Paul. I know you all think he is not one of us but I think he is a closet Dr. Paul fan. Joe said Dr. Paul was independent, didn't play by the rules, "a very impressive man" etc. In light of all the criticism Harwood has received from us, I think we owe him a thank you. I watch Morning Joe quite a bit and I believe they are sympathetic. Joe said that, if Dr. Paul had Romney's hair and some money, he would be 20 points ahead in the polls because of his ideas. Joe also said Dr. Paul is more like Ronald Reagan than any of the other candidates. This whole thing was great. On top of that, about thirty minutes later there was another segment on Dr. Paul with video of the Dr. with his wife. I didn't hear what they were saying but my impression was that it was positive. That's two positive segments within an hour. That struck me as remarkable.
R. Match
right ..
thats how it struck me .... and it came up so random .... it wasnt perfect ... but that is exactly what we need ...if people only realized how enslaved we all are in this country and how much worse its going to get ..... man ... There are no other choices this time out ...Ron Paul is IT.
