Dr. Paul has a good sense of humor

Submitted by OctoBox on Fri, 04/24/2009 - 01:34.

and is a good sport.

"What in Thunder is going on here," hahaha.

I wish Sasha would have done something to make Dr. Paul look good rather than disrespecting him.

Let's face it though -- for those of us who like Sasha's work -- if Sasha could go back in time and do something funny to MLK or JFK we'd probably laugh.

I'm not a fan of his, but the Brune character on the surface looks a lot more agreeable than that Borat.

Nowhere does Ron Paul sacrifice any principles, nowhere does he act in a way that embarasses himself. Nowhere is his political message twisted or misrepresented. While its true that its crass, people DO love Sasha/ Borat. Its funny sometimes. I enjoyed Borat. Okay- Ron Paul- he gotcha. Sounds like RP has a "water offa duck's azz" attitude about the whole thing. So should we : ) At least he didnt make 'im eat cheese like he did Bob Barr and then tell him it was made from his wife's breast milk hahahahaha. Ron Paul can take a punch- he's not a Faberge egg. Things like this can actually HELP RP's popularity - depending on how he reacts to them- and his reaction was perfect.

What the hell???

Dr. Paul's staff should have known what Cohen was all about.

A few seconds on Google would have done it.

Really BAD job of homework before this "interview."

Bruno is supposedly a gay AUSTRIAN character so that was the connection to Austrian Economics.

Really sad and disrespectful to Ron Paul.

I hope some angry Paulite crosses paths with Cohen.

It's a free country and you can certainly do what you want but that doesn't mean there won't be consequences for your actions because FREEDOM WORKS BOTH WAYS.

Jesse Benton - Campaign for Liberty VP Was Responsible for This

Submitted by We the People on Fri, 04/24/2009 - 00:32.


What shocks me even more is that he did the exact same thing to Bob Barr! See the comments below.


And read this:

Jesse Benton A Suspicious Figure
http://www.roguegovernment.com/news.php?id=6320

He was supporting Fred Thompson as his second choice during Ron Paul's campaign, and now he is supporting Mark "we should bomb North Korea" Sanford.


The more I look into Jesse Benton, the more I'm sure he's either an idiot or infiltrator. Either way, he should be fired from representing the C4L.

Benton did the same thing to Bob Barr!

Submitted by Allegory on Wed, 04/15/2009 - 23:08.

Read the last paragraph from the Economist:

http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2009/03/sa...

Mr Cohen must consider libertarians easy marks. In "Borat", he got an interview with Bob Barr, who would become the 2008 Libertarian Party candidate for president. Cohen/Borat handed Mr Barr a piece of cheese. Mr Barr ate it. Cohen/Borat then informed Mr Barr of what kind of mammal the cheese came from—smash cut, close up to Mr Barr's nauseated face. One of the people who set up that interview, Jesse Benton, was encouraged to find another job. In 2007, he began working for... Ron Paul.

Slate says that Benton thinks the movie is going to be "funny." Again in the last paragraph.

http://www.slate.com/id/2213882/

Jesse Benton, senior vice president of Campaign for Liberty and former campaign spokesman for Paul, said Paul was not familiar with Cohen's HBO program, Da Ali G Show. "If it's not on hard-core financial news, he doesn't follow it," Benton said. But, he added, "It sounds like it's going to be pretty funny."

Alright What the Hell is Up With Benton! He Should Be Fired!

Why was he hired in the first place?

Is there any good he does?

Well seeing as how he had a known homosexual as part of his campaign staff and whom he was good friends with, as well as saying he sees homosexuality more from a medical perspective than as sinful behavior I think that yes, Ron Paul might have a different idea about gays than you do sierra.

You hate a group of people because they choose a different lifestyle than yours. You hate it so much that you'd seek to use government force to regulate their behavior. You are no friend of freedom buddy.

they are a bunch of cowards *ss suckers

Submitted by fico on Wed, 04/15/2009 - 19:15.

I'm praying to get this clown cohen in my way, I'm going to end in jail but I'm sending him to therapy or intensive care. Cowards *ss kissers is what they are. That's how impotent the zionist controlled media feels when they have to go to these methods to drive people away from the seriousness and importance of Ron Paul message.

This is totally unpatriotic, I wish this clown pay for his bad taste joke soon.
It is incredible how the US media goes so low supporting such disgusting and unpatriotic acts, supporting this British crap coming from overseas to bash one of our few honest leaders left in congress.

I am surprised that Bruno would go after Ron Paul since they both are such anti-establishmentists... the austrian economics connection is there, but what else? Bruno is pretty funny.
