PETITION IMUS TO SUPPORT RON PAUL

I think we should petition Imus to support Ron Paul. Imus is a political force, albiet weakend of late, but still wields considerable influence. He hasnt endorsed a candidate and makes a big deal out of it when he does. He wants out of Iraq. Hes on the same station with Hannity and Rush (how sweet would that be), and his buddy is Kinky Freidman who has already endorsed Ron. Lets send Imus an email vis the webmaster or you can log on the WABC website and send emails through the Program Director. Ive got a feeling this could be a big plus for the Campaign if we can talk Imus into supporting Ron

NO!...bad idea!
... no need to scrape the bottom of the barrel..
Anus likes RINOs like McCain, he'd never do it.
Even though the "creative" instinct (often denied, but just as often true) in the past has been for Anus to copy Howard Stern whenever he thinks he can get away with it, I don't think we'll be so "lucky" in this case. And it's one endorsement I don't care for like others here dislike Stern's (which has come!). Anyway, the celebrity we SHOULD be courting is a writer named Dave Barry. He'd be the best POSSIBLE speech writer for Dr. Paul, but he's too rich to care much about money.

OMG, I can't stand Imus
We don't need another race issue starting up with that dumbass creep !

Show your support on the Ron Paul Map !
People worldwide support Dr. Paul too :-)

This thread should be deleted.
This is a terrible idea and it would only cause problems. Maybe we should all petition to have Rosie O'Donnell to endorse Ron Paul, huh? How about Britney Spears as well?
you should be deleted...
don't like it....don't read it.....
Your Stunned
They are already looking for any excuse they can to smear Ron, Why in the fuck would you ever want Imus the Bigot to endorse him, This guys lost it
Why in the red flames of
Why in the red flames of purgatory would you think we need Don Imus for ANYTHING? Leave him to the dustbin of washed-up "talent".
agree...plus of all people, why go after
someone recently smeared with racism charges?
Stay away, far away.
Should have Ron Paul vs. Dick Cheney fight
On WEC Wreckage cage fighting. Choke him out Ron!
BUMP-GET RON PAIL ON IMUS
IMUS has the support of many political types on one of the most widely used medium for talk. People drive their cars all morning in the greater new york area and listen to him. He has not endorsed a candidate, but he will.
-When he does, people will listen to him.
-He gave John Kerry big support.
-His best freind Kinky Freidman is backing Ron Paul who ran for governor of Texas.
-Imus supported a black man (Harold Ford Jr.) for senator of Tennesse and put him on the air for months (Al Sharpton never told you that)
Imus show serves one of the largest media markets in the world (NY Drive time radio) BEFORE Rush and that Hannity idiot even get on the air.
BUMP this and email WABC radio (Drudge Report also on that network)
Do yor part and put the Race "Wedge issue" aside and get Imus to put Ron Paul on his show NOW
imus
Since Imus has been back on the air in the last two weeks, Giuliani, Huckabee and McCain have all appeared on his show. I haven't seen negative reactions.
my $.02
Uh...I can't see what good would come of Imus endorsing or associating with Ron Paul...or maybe because he wears a cowboy hat, right?
Undoubtedly the media would put a lot of negative spin on such a meeting.
Just MHO.

agree.
just like the nevada brothel owner. They would make the story "look" positive on the surface, but spin it to create a negative connotation. The whole story would look great in the beginning, then remind everyone exactly what imus said to land him of the air at the end...
WOW Closed minds everywhere!!
I cannot believe what I read?? Constant worry of "media" or "public" perspective!!!
I thought it doesnt matter "who" supports Ron Paul! This is what Dr. Paul stands for. Do you think WE need to decide HOW the message is delivered? The voters will decide! They just need to HEAR about Ron Paul. Give them some credit
campaign is about people not perspectives.
WAKE UP
EMAIL IMUS Its a layup of free media for Dr Paul. Can I get an amen?
Doesn't Work That Way.
I've worked for 2 media companies (Studio-On-Hudson and Creative Business Communications) for four years now. This 2-in-1 company are run by the Executive Producers of "SuperSize Me." Not pulling anyone.
Even a genuine message needs to be planned to the people who will hopefully listen and vote. We're just tapping into unlimited resources. It's efficient. It comes down to being an effective medium.
Ask not what Imus is saying, but why are people tuning into him? His tone goes against the status quo and plenty people use it as their source of news.
I think this is a go.
ok, now thats a
ok, now thats a generalization.
i love any forum that Paul can preach his message on. But actively seeking out someone is quite different, and in this case, the person is very controversial. I think if he was invited, that it would be great in some sense. But let the initiative come from imus. We don't need to be searching out potentially dangerous situations.
I agree, I don't think its a
I agree, I don't think its a good idea to go actively seeking support of someone who got fired recently for racial remarks on air. RP doesn't need that kind of negative press.
Isnt controversy what this is about?
bump
Not for me
.
Send him an email if you like, but the petition idea isn't a good one. Nice try, though.
Think of something else !

Bad Idea
Imus unfortunately made some racist remarks that will no doubt be played on if Ron Paul associates himself with Imus. Imus wrecked his credibility with that "nappy headed hoes" statement. What a racist thing to say!
I will never listen to him. I hope Ron Paul will never go on his show.
Ron Paul is very very busy filling in shows and campaigning. It is not necessary to have Ron Paul on this show. Other shows are much more respectable...
My two cents.
No to Imus and no to Ted
No to Imus and no to Ted Nugent.
No to Imus and No to Ted
I agree with you. No to Imus and No to Ted.
"We should"nt have to talk
"We should"nt have to talk any body into Ron Paul,if a person does'nt get his message by now, they'll never will ...."I'am pretty sure Imus know's all about Ron Paul"!.
"Observe the masses,and do the opposite."
well thats just silly
well thats just silly
Must be another mole trying
Must be another mole trying to infiltrate and influence people here... it isn't working!
open minds
glad to know your willing to try anything
I personally experienced racism growing up
So I think I know a racist when I see and hear one. In my mind and the minds of most, if not all people of color, Don Imus exposed himself as one. Dr. Paul does not need his endorsement. It would not tarnish Dr. Paul in my mind, but why invite attacks from his enemies. If he wants to endorse Ron Paul on his own, that's fine. Other than that, let it go. Bad idea!!!
No
The man is racist. Why would you want tar RP's image in the minds of prospective voters with this odious man?
Not in my view
ive listened to him for years and never considered him racist. he supported Harold Ford junior intesely for his bid in the senate remember? He has a huge listening audience who are smart people and vote.
Just because Al Sharpton says it doesnt make it so.
Besides, it hasnt stopped huckabee and mccain from being on his show.
the problem is the media
the problem is the media protrays him as a racist even though he likely isn't
"Likely" isn't? I have no
"Likely" isn't? I have no doubts he's no racist. Unfortunately, sometimes staffers get some crazy ideas in their empty heads and act on their own. Ron is not a racist.
I was talking about Imus =p
