Email Campaign to get Paul on Beck.... AND thank beck
I emailed and thanked beck for his offer. Paul needs to be legitimized among the staunch Republicans. I know a lot of you hate him but this is the best thing I've heard since the moneybomb. I can't believe it is happening.
Please encourage the campaign. I told them I would not be sending them ANY more money or spending ANY more time if paul did not do this.
You want him to not be called a kook any more and in the MSM this is the opportunity on a silver platter. So excited.
Tell the campaign

Thank Beck. (even if you hate him this is more than gracious). If you can criticize someone you should be able to thank them when they help you. I pledged to buy his book if this happened. I chalk it up to sweet TV ad for paul.
I trust Ron Paul, not Glenn Beck
Ron Paul has his reasons for not going on Beck's show. Beck has been attacking Paul for months. He will not put Paul's name in his presidential polls. He recently said that all of us are domestic enemies and potential terrorists. Now all of a sudden he wants to bury the hatchet and conduct a professional interview?
I don't buy it, and neither should you. As for your threat to no longer support Paul if he doesn't go on Beck's show - that speaks volumes. There's nothing like making threats to Dr. Paul to show him just how much you support his campaign!
Unlike you, I respect Dr. Paul's judgement on this matter. I will not substitute my own and tell him how to run his campaign. Unlike you, I will continue to support him regardless of how he responds to Beck.
Beck is an Ass
30 years Ron Paul has had to deal with the likes of Beck. Beck reminds me of Jerry Springer. I would rather see him on Jerry Springer because he would probably be treated with more respect. Beck can read Ron Paul books, videos etc. Beck insults Ron's supporters every chance he gets. I say you are well versed on Ron's positions I think it would be a lot more interesting if you went on his show. Let Beck see that we are not dangerous kooks who need to be locked up. That with an open mind and some thought Dr. Paul is America's
last Hope. If your refuse to support Dr. Paul because he wouldn't go on Beck tells me you still don't get it. If Dr. Paul can not be pushed around by lobbyist I doubt he would let you or Beck threaten him.

NO! I am Not emailing the Campaign
and the reason is GLENN BECK can come around on the Iraq question and noninterviention on his own.
If and when he does finally "get it", then of course Ron Paul can go there.
There is plenty of info out there, Glenn just needs to read it, watch it, learn it.
He was told directly by Pat Buchanan, but still does not get it.
So leave Beck alone. Leave us alone. Get off your but and become a delegate, that is the front lines on this battle. Walk your neighborhood, take a clip board and RP literature and scotch tape. Meet, Greet, and smile, that is the best idea for you and me. If noone is home, tape RP literature to the front door handle and move on.
Get busy RP soldier, and leave Glenn Beck to worry about how to make his show interesting without Ron Paul.
As far as "hard core Republicans" go, ..... remind them that we are Hard Core Ron Paul Republicans, and we will be writing Rons Name in come election time if ..... those hard core Republicans choose anyone over Ron Paul.
What does that mean? It means Hillary wins. So Remind those Hard Core Republcians that by not warming up and electing Ron Paul, they will be electing Hillary BECAUSE we Hard Core Ron Paul revolutionaries will NOT be voting for anyone but Ron. Tell them its all up to them, Hillary, or Ron Paul. THere is no other choice for them. Tell them to think about it for a few days, but realize this, a vote by them for Mitt or Ghouliania, or Huckleberry or Thompson is a vote for Hillary because we Ron Paul revolutionaries WILL BE writing in his name come Election time. Call it a game of chicken if you will, but we will have our way over the Glenn Beck "hard core: revolutionaries in 2008 or if not, come 2012 because this Revolution cannot be stopped.
Treg
Um.... It's not about
Um....
It's not about convincing Beck, it's about the hours of airtime he will give Paul and expose Paul to more people.
Exactly There's somethin'
Exactly
There's somethin' happenin' here...
Power To The People?
at least
some people get it.
No
Glenn Beck has said some stupid, preposterous things about Ron Paul. He has called us terrorists. He would just sit there and do a Hannity over and over repeating the same moronic things like "So you like women being forced to have clitorodectomys do you?" and on and on and on with this tired brainless thoughtless crap. The problem is Beck doesn't have to argue.
It's not a matter of 'can't handle' Beck - he just doesn't want to waste his time with someone who doesnt even have to be logical or rational and can sit there and call names like a 4 year old. It's simply beneath his dignity to go on Glenn Beck. And of course he could handle it. He probably will go on and if he doesnt its because he thinks its a waste of time.

stupid
That is just stupid. If someone is acting like a 4 yr calling you names and you can't come off as the bigger person than you can't handle it.
30sec sound bites on debates is just making it worse.... wake me up when we actually have a chance to win a primary. We aren't close.
Beck would get us exposure among the hard core republican masses that laugh at him.
Without their votes paul will never win.
Not necessarily
He does need to get out to a wider audience that's for sure. So let's try to get him onto Laura Ingraham or Michael Savage.
I think it would be an uncomfortable unpleasant experience to be on a one hour show with someone who clearly hated you, sneered at your ideas, wouldn't listen to you, basically dissed you completely and I am not at all sure that would make anyone vote for him. Maybe some people would be so disgusted they would never listen to Beck again but otherwise I am just not convinced it would be good for the campaign.

It doesn't matter
Who cares if beck listens to him... its an hour show he can't bulldoze him the entire time. It would be different if it was 5mins. Then yeah probably doesn't make a difference.
An entire hour are you kidding. It would get his ideas out to people who are too lazy to do anything other than read the paper, watch tv and vote.
THESE PEOPLE WILL NEVER VOTE PAUL without some MSM time. Hour is more than gracious.
Honestly have you ever even watched becks program. He clearly doesn't hate Ron Paul. You internet people need to get out of the house more.
Glenn Beck will not give Ron
Glenn Beck will not give Ron Paul an interview, it will be an interrogation. He is not a journalist but a pundit. Risk is too great.
Someone
Someone please explain to me how you think Paul can handle the responsibilities of the Presidency and not beck... please I'm all ears.
If you can't stand up to a talk show host please explain how you are going to deal with leaders of foreign countrys and congress.
Who said Ron Paul could not
Who said Ron Paul could not handle it?
It’s a risk / reward scenario - why enter a hostile environment? It’s just bad politics.
Well
What is the risk then.... The reward is Huge. you might actually get joe neocon to start paying attention. MSM might see him as legitamite... trust me republicans still laugh at him now... that has to change or there is no chance without the republican voters.
You need joe 6 pack that still listens to the radio and watches tv. I think we have the bases covered on the internet users.
exactly
we will not lose supporters over this...ron paul's support is a one-way network...you don't see ron paul supporters switch to giuliani or the other mainstream candidates...it's the other way around.
if anything, the interview with beck will give ron paul exposure and could potentially be very beneficial. i see more pros than cons out of this.

Great Point
I've never seen anyone turn on to paul and then switch off... so little time left. Hopefully people will hear and understand.

Glenn,
I wanted to thank you for your offer to put Ron Paul on for two hours (radio and TV).
I wanted to say that I trust you more than most other (TV) talk show hosts to not talk over him, or bait him or try to make him look bad. You've been honest in every interview you've done, and so I believe that you can probably give one of the best interviews of any host, and I know you will honestly challenge him on the things that you disagree.
However, I would make one request. I was an avid supporter of the War on Terror, and shared the same frustration and concern as you with Islamic Extremism. But I have come to realize that while it is a real threat, throwing our military at it is not the answer, as it serves to actually make us weaker in the end. We cannot afford to address this problem through a vastly inefficient use of force. I am convinced, like you, that nothing will convince the extremists, not even force. The solution is to make sure their own "normal" people have no reason to become extremists themselves - something our aggression does not help.
It is Ron Paul's views that helped me change my mind. It is not a view of blind pacifism, but one of strategic and fiscal practicality. It was this, combined with the fact that he really is everything that you or I would look for in a statesman, that has made me an active contributor and volunteer to his campaign.
I only ask that you open yourself up to the same possibility.
Thank you.
I'm completely with you
I was a yeah just go over and kick there ass guy too until a couple months ago. And it makes sense. I don't want MY govt telling me how to live and what to do. I've always been a small govt guy. And I sure as hell don't want ANOTHER govt telling me how to live.
If the russians were over here f***ing around with the mexicans in our back yard I would be super pissed off too.
I honestly used to believe the.. "they hate our freedom" thing. But then again I causually followed politics becaus I became so disgusted with it.
Paul is not a pacifist spineless democrat. He just doesn't believe in preemptive strikes and telling people what to do.
I just wanted to say that I was changed as well so I understand where my fellow republicans are coming from. They just need a little time to hear the message. They aren't going to seek it out on there own. Republicans are scared to go against the status quo so legitimizing paul as a republican and not a libertian will go a long way.
did you hear
Did you hear Beck say after the first debate, saying that "If we (Republicans) start thinking like that (like RP), we're dead". Now, either a) he is now lying and pretending he is open minded re Paul so as to look good or b) he is such an empty fluffball he has just lost that strongly-held opinion in 7 months.
So I don't understand how you say you can 'trust' someone like that.
And why are we terrorists?
I think the guy's just a nimrod.

Bad Idea
RP will be there for 1 hour. And there will be plenty of attacks from Beck. True RP may get in some good licks.
BUT! Let's not forget. After RP leaves, Beck is STILL on every day with RP not present to defend himself. And at that point Beck will use his selected short sound bites from the interview and the highest probability is that Beck will use these sound bites in a negative way.
I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. Glenn Beck thrives on confontation, not diplomacy.
Watch the Nausa High School interview. These are the type of interviews RP needs to be doing. Not confrontational "stick you neck on the block and hope for the best" interviews.
When RP ran for in 1988 he HAD to take ANY media attention he was offered. Has everyone watched the Morton Downy Jr interview from the 1988 election? RP is wise to stay away from the wolves. We sholdn't be so desperate for MSM coverage that we decapitate the campaign.

Uh its only getting worse from here
If paul can't handle beck ZERO chance he can handle the snakes in congress and foreign leaders. If he wants to keep being a side note in the media yes duck this.
The message is clear and constant it will hold up.
THis is not true
When Congress attacks him as president, he can hold a press conference anytime he choses to refute them. Not so with is this case.
The message is clear and constant with CURRENT supporters. But not with the "sheep" whom follow empty arguements. You know, the kind of people that still believe the arguement that the Patriot protects use from danger...
Beck is a war supporter. And he is against RP on that one issue alone. And RP makes a good argument, the best in my opinion, for leaving Iraq. But Beck will continue, in days after the interview, to attack RP and insist that he must not be elected due to his stance on the war. And at that point RP won't have a microphone to defend his view of the matter.

Trust me.
Ron Paul can handle Glenn Beck. This is nothing but good news.
BUMP to keep this up top, and people -> EMAIL the campaign!
*SIGH!*
As much as I HATE the man, if he gives Paul a decent interview, he'll be okay in my book. A supporter of Ron Paul is a brother in arms.
It will be a huge and nasty tasting pill to swallow, but it's worth it... an hour with a so-so libertarian is good for at least getting his ideas out there. And the doc seems to do well when people try to smear him.
more importantly
it legitimizes him among neocons... an other republicans that only follow what the party tells them to. Trust me this is way better than just an hour of tv time a la ross perot.
I won't thank Beck till he
I won't thank Beck till he says "I'm sorry Ron Paul supporters, I didnt mean to call you terrorists" and then provides fair interview. That's when I'll thank him. But I still want Ron on his show
he didnt call us terrorists.

Well your never going to get that.
You guys have to toughen up it is going to get much worse than someone insinuating that. First they ignore you then they laugh at you then attack you then you win...
I'm pumped we might be getting to the attack stage... everyone I know is still laughing in MSM. Youtube debate was disturbing.
Sorry he didnt say we were
Sorry he didnt say we were terrorists, but he did the US military should be used against us. He said we were a domestic threat to this country. I'm just saying I'm not going to thank a man who believes that. Why should I thank him?
This really is HUGE! I
This really is HUGE! I agree. I am not sure what Beck's ratings are, I know I don't watch him, but he is doing us a real service here!
There's somethin' happenin' here...
