Dr. Paul on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show 05-05-09

For Freedom!

every second of it.

-- Patrick Henry

she was asked which candidate she liked in the primaries and she said "Ron Paul" made the biggest impression on her...

If you wont fight for the right when you can easily win...you may...have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival [or] when there is no chance of victory...it's better to perish than to live as slaves.
W.Churchill

I didn't know who exactly she was til yesterday.

Isn't this ironic? They counted Dr. Paul out now a year after the primaries he is the only one who has a fan club left? I don't imagine that people email each other when "Hey, McCain is gonna be on tonight" - or Romney, Julie, Fred...

oops I watch Huck some, but for amusement not enlightenment, he can keep his little show but he no future in politics that I can see. And he had Willie Nelson and Ray Price on last week that was cool.

Just saying, Ron Paul is the only one left standing that still matters! So we won that one!

I think Rachel Maddow treated Dr Paul with more respect than the leadership of the Republicrat party. I usually do not watch Maddow as she reminds me of a female Levin. Now I believe she deserves a little respect from us for knowing her place and not interrupting while Dr Paul is speaking. This is the 2nd time i believe she has interviewed Dr. Paul, which puts her light years ahead of many conservative hosts (hannity, limbaugh, ingraham, o'reilly, levin(puke)....

he will continue to draw people to his philosophy. He gets cut off by the supposed Republican tv pundits all the time.

I don't mind the Republican bashing... Personally, I think the GOP needs to be run through the wringer until they realize that their only hope is to stop resisting Ron Paul's ideas. They're still talking about Palin, Romney, Gingrich etc. for 2012, which is no better than when they served up Dole in '96 -instant loss.

He told the Republicans exactly what they needed to hear.

Especially about Personal Liberty.

Republicans... Your actions speak so loud... I can't hear a word you are saying...

Let's see Republicans run to sponsor some of Dr. Paul's bills dealing with Personal Liberty.

She does not understand the difference between abolishing the Fed and auditing the Fed.

god damn right.

slap in the face of both parties and the republican party needed it most. i dont care that rachel was only interested in bashing republicans. it brings even more pressure on them to back up a sensible man like ron paul or someone like him if he does not chose to run in 2012. this is backing the gop into a corner and i can tell they are scared shitless. their choices for a real republican are dwindling to no one but ron paul and they know it. we will win this revolution.

I was impressed with the Dr. He is more relaxed, grounded, confident, speaks louder and firmer. In short he is much more 'presidential' than in the earlier interviews. The good doctor is well seasoned and I perceive 'more ready' for another run on the WH.

"If it doesn't kill you it makes you a better person."

She had absolutely no interest in his ideas. She was only interested in bashing Republicans. Yes, Republicans deserved to be bashed, but so do the Democrats and this Obama administration.

You know how Glenn Beck has been running out in front of the liberty movement trying to corral it into faux's corner, could this be MSNBC's attempt at trying to outfox faux?

I think RP has outfoxed them all!

to rachel@msnbc.com

hope that's the right address!

Excellent Rachel, but it's just not the kiddies who like RP; it's all ages.

Rachel ,I hate to inform you but I am 59 yrs young & I support RON PAUL...I guess I am labled a young person, THANKS..THIS is a lot broader than young people...I usuallly don't like Rachel's rehtoric but this was a true interview ...
you-no

I'll Take Rachel Maddow Any Day Over That Wishy Washy Turn-Coat TUCKER CARLSON...The Shit Ass Still Wears A Bow Tie..SISSY!!

Dr. Paul nailed It Calmly, Logically And Gracefully !! You Can Win Over Your Enemies With Honey Not With Vinegar...The Other Fuckin Republicans Have No Truth Or Grace..They Are A Bag Of "Dead Men's Bones.."

There Is No One Like Ron Paul In The Entire World...LISTEN TO HIM !!

"The Thomas Jefferson Of Our Time." ~ Judge Napolitano, Fox News

keeps this up, she is going to have a new watcher!! Great job by Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul was just excellent!

Nobody's too big to fail ~ Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber

This was almost an ass kissing compared to an earlier RP interview by Maddow. I'm not quite at the point of writing a thank you letter yet but I'm almost there.

Great job as usual. Eyes are opening thanks to the good doctor.

But it's obvious Maddow has a lot of respect for Dr. Paul. When has anyone else let him speak for that long uninterrupted?

Great interview!

i wrote her a letter and asked her to bring Ron Paul on with Dennis Kucinich. I think the both of these guys need to show America what the right and left really look like.

Ron continues his realtionship with the Maddow show.

Nice to see H.R.1207 mentioned on a D program.

Ron Paul needs! Fair and balanced. He is already emerging as the smartest man in the GOP. We all knew that, and now even the media is having to admit it, and the coverage is turning positive. Newt, Rush, Palin, Romney are all just so "old fashioned same ole things". Now, THEY have little credibility. Ha Ha. All we can hope for at this point, is that this translates into support for HR 1207. That would be a huge step in the Ron Paul plan for reform, because once the spotlight is trained on the shennanigans of the Federal Reserve, it would take a damn fool (not that we don't have a bunch of these in Congress!) to continue with their carte blanche authority.

i just gotta say - could ron get possibly get any more handsome???
i think not!

he is soooo beautiful - inside and out.

dear lord, how i truly love this man!

Ron Paul is my President

You never know what will change a person's heart.

as it relates to This interview.

My email to her:

Rachel,

Thank you so much for conducting a professional interview with the Statesman. Maybe you and MSNBC could provide a forum for a public prime time debate with Dr. Paul and Newt.

he is also very smart strategically and diplomatically. It seems as if Maddow wants to encourage the libertarian and neocons. in the GOP to split, maybe to ensure the 40 years of Democratic rule James Carville is writing and speaking about. But he outsmarts her with everything and strategically appeals to the "leftwingers" who he knows watch MSNBC and her show who he knows are anti-war and pro-civil liberties and must be disillusioned with Obama. Dr. Paul is building a new coalition, that can IMHO be stronger than the Reagan coalition. The neocons can eventually go back to the Dems, as some of them are doing, while Dr. Paul build a coalition of fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, social and political libertarians and also anti-war (reforming) leftists.

Next we should see if he can be on Ed Schulz new show. he did appear on his radio show last year with the primaries.

Guess who is lefty Rachel Maddow's favorite Republican?

I agree, I am just not sure who needs to teach them what it means to be a conservative,,,, hehe

They are lost as a party and the Dems will rule the roost for years to come.

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.
