On radio Tuesday, Glenn Beck couldn’t get enough of the Ron Paul-supporting, Constitution-quoting drunk driver who was arrested on camera during a recent episode of National Geographic’s new show “Frontier Force.”
In the hilarious video, the man gets pulled over and during a field sobriety test can be heard lecturing the officers on the First Amendment and his Constitutional rights and explaining why he isn‘t guilty because he’s not hurting anyone. He even screams the name of his pick for president in 2012: Ron Paul.
Watch below, and quickly see why its obvious his BA level was nearly twice the legal limit:

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 6:39pmwow. just wow. I can’t believe how mad you all are at Glenn Beck over a story about a drunk man that just happens to be a Ron Paul supporter. I heard the bit on the radio and watched the video and I gotta say that was funny. To see a video on a national television show such as National Geographic about a drunk man was funny. If you took the time to find a video of a drunk doing this no matter who his candidate may be, I am sure they would post it. I must need my ears cleaned cause I heard Beck say over and over how much of Pauls policies he did like except for one, that had to do with agreeing with Osama Bin Laden. Really that doesn’t strike any of you as something to think about. Anyway all I heard was a guy makeing fun of a drunk that happens to yell out something out of nowhere. If he would have said “Stella, STELLA” that would have been funnier. Wow, WOW. How can you just not laugh at that clip.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 6:47pmOne more thing, and I’m not saying anyone is wrong or right, Glenn never made fun of RP. Just of the drunk man that was doing the yelling. If anyone can relate to this moment in time, I hear it is Beck himself. I think that is why he posted this, not because of RP, but because he likes to laugh out loud sometimes, and “I don’t care who you are, that there is funny.” Everyone calm down, you know most of these comments against Beck are from people who also hate RP and every Conservative. They just want us to hate each other, so when it is time to vote, we won‘t cause it’s not our guy. Sometimes I watch the comments on here, and they are playing us like fiddles.

At .301 I’m not even sure he WAS a Ron Paul fan! At .301 I doubt he even knew who he was. At .40 a person can die of alcohol posioning. And this guy sounded so much like Adam Sandler that I’m not even sure this was not just a prank video.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 8:03pmThat’s exactly the point everyone misses. It‘s congress that’s supposed to decide these things, and Paul‘s said he’d go to war if congress decided to do so. He’s just not going to go about it in immoral and unconstitutional ways.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 10:58pmUp until recently, I thought Ron Paul, despite a few things I don’t agree with him about, would make a good President. But, after his rant about Muslim relations during the latest debate, and seemingly defending the right of the filthy terrorists to attack us, I’ve decided that Ron Paul, while an intelligent person, obviously has alot of seriously dangerous misconceptions about Muslims, that could get us all killed……Sorry Mr. Paul, but we don’t need anymore PC, conciliatory crap when it comes to defending this nation, and we certainly don’t need anyone else to insult us.

So I guess the whole CIA are kooks too since Dr Paul is quoting them as well. Blowback is real and it happens. Do you think our militarism around the world is ignored? They hate us not because we’re bombed so many middle eastern countries, propping up puppet dictators left and right… no no, they hate us because we’re free! Yay! They wouldn’t have cared two ***** about us.
I had a buddy of mine that went out on a patrol in a remote area if Afghanistan. They had no idea who Americans were and that there was a war going on. Guarantee if we never started meddling in their affairs, we wouldn’t have had a 9/11. The damage is now done and it won‘t go away just by leaving them alone NOW but further agitating them ISN’T HELPING.

Can you see Republicans voting to return all 900 Military bases? abolish the FED Reserve? legalize drugs? support gay marriage nation wide? abandon Israel? Paul has ZERO chance of getting the nomination but he is a great educator on how far we have drifted from the Constitution. Paul supporters are “Political Vegans”.

I think this is a sad article to put on The Blaze.
I have support Ron Paul for years and will continue to do so. The one good part of this is that it shows that, (unlike years ago), even a drunk knows of Ron Paul, and equates Ron with LIBERTY.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 12:08pmI have such mixed feelings about Ron Paul and his group. On the one hand, I am very sympathetic toward their cause and agree with them on many domestic issues. However, Rep. Paul’s isolationist stance as far as international affairs are concerned are problematic. As much as it would be nice to ignore the rest of the world, we can’t. Because of this, I can’t support Paul for president. But I do like a lot of what he has to say with regard to our constitutional rights and our economy.
And he‘s not ’nuts’ by any stretch of the imagination. He just fails to conform. And that’s refreshing.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 12:39pm@Twin: You are saying that the crack staff at TheBlaze simply cannot find a Romney or Perry supporter that is drunk or making a fool out of themselves?
Seriously, this is NO different than when someone makes a video asking Obama supporters a bunch of questions and then compiling all the ones that didn’t know the answers.
While I have loved Glenn for years and years and years, he has been really disappointing me lately. Rick Perry was a guy he really really disliked last election and this time around he seems buddy-buddy. And he has ALWAYS held a grudge against Ron Paul, trying to make him seem like he is a crazy nut-job.
Ron Paul is the only candidate out there that even comes close to leaning towards what the founding fathers wanted. He‘s also the only one in the running that I’d consider Right-of-Center. Every single one of the other Republicans are just like Bush. They lean to the left and will continue pushing towards that Progressive slant.
This has nothing to do with being a Ron Paul wacko…as I didn’t support him last time around because I trusted the way Glenn portrayed him. I though Paul was a wacko. But this time around? I’m actually listening. He’s the only one that A) Makes sense, and B) Has a record that shows he’s not a RINO.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 4:59pmYes. I came to the conclusion about a month ago that either;
1) Glenn Beck is not aware of the meaning of neoconservative.
2) he is aware, and must be one, since all he endorses are neocons..
I also came to the conclusion this sight is MSM, and very biased.
And as much as he seems to understand about Islam, I still believe he lacks edification of the term ‘taqiyya’. The Qu’ran is the only religious script that calls for one to lie, to achieve a worldwide caliphate. Shari’a must dominate the globe according to the passages.

I appreciate his supporters bringing up the great points of: Bring the troops home (as if everyone wants war to continue), Abolish taxes (as if no one has ever proposed lowering taxes, eliminate entire Departments etc….They all make common sense – but then he always goes too far.

He got to Ron Paul, and asked why Doctor Paul thought of the fact that some of his supporters were 9/11 truthers. Later, during the discussion of the Iranians gunship playing chicken with one of our destroyers, Huckabee and the actor were talking about sending Iranian sailors to meet their 70 virgins (ie, a call to arms). Paul said that we should pull our destroyer out of harms way and not be provoking a war.

He knows there is a threat out there because of our previous (and current) foreign policy and is not going to become president and allow them to attack us. He would heighten our border security and insure a top of the line national defense (note not Offense).

The only thing standing in the way of Ron Paul though are uneducated and progressive Republicans. Various people who laugh at Paul for saying he would legalize Marijuana and Heroine don‘t realize that it’s only at the Federal level. Paul realizes these laws are NOT to be handled at the Federal level, so it would be deferred to the States, as it should be.
Ron Paul speaks the truth; getting him elected would be a step in the right directions, but this country will continue to sink until people start accepting the truth. I have been getting hopeful at just how many people are waking up, but it may take years until enough really do.

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 12:21amLet me ask you this, for as many Ron Paul supporters that get pulled over and charged with a DUI how many of them are Bush supporters? Or Palin supporters? The only reason this video was found and distributed on the blaze is because they want to discredit Dr Paul and his supporters. I refuse to drink and drive, it’s irresponsible and I would not want the liability of hurting someone or destroying private property. Not because it’s against the law.

I agree, if a RINO gets into office, conservatism, capitalism, constitutionalism will all be blamed for the inevitable demise because we all know NONE of those RINOs will fix anything!
I‘d rather Obama maintain the office so that Democrats can’t point fingers to conservatives. I‘m sure they still will but if 8 years isn’t enough to make the chance they can believe in, perhaps someone such as Rand Paul can run and win in 2016.
If Ron Paul doesn’t win the nomination, I will vote for Obama. I’d rather he be at the helm of the ship as it sinks rather than a RINO, which will just make conservatism seem like a failure.

What’s disappointing is that Beck is not only allowing this on the Blaze, but is actively yucking it up on the radio, prefacing it with “and here’s a Ron Paul supporter”. It is absolutely horrifying to realize that he really doesn’t believe what he says when he talks about honor.
To be clear, I have absolutely no problem with him disagreeing with Ron Paul on any position. That’s cool, no worries at all, it’s part of the political process and we all have our own opinions. But to resort to Alinsky like this (I notice Limbaugh is cranking up the ad hominem now as well against Paul and Paul supporters), well, I feel let down.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 9:40pmRight on Red Dog. What Limbaugh, Beck and other conservatives don’t understand is that the best way to deal with enemies is not to beat the hell out of them but to TRADE with them. Hayek pointed out that the market is not an organization but an order that draws enemies into collaborative relationships and interdependent so that they are no longer enemies. War is the ultimate zero sum game — I win, you lose. But as libertarians try to explain to liberals, the marked is not a zero sum game. Now what Beck and others have to come to understand is that the same is true of international politics. We have the best chance that wars will end when we are trading with our enemies. Why kill someone who provides you with products you want, and buys what you produce?
Of course there are some muslims who want to destroy us. But one would have to be blind not to see that at least some of them are responding to what THEY perceive to be injustices on our part. We can continue this tit for tat until we all go up in a mushroom cloud — each side believing that the other is the embodiment of “real evil” — I think that is the phrase both Bush, Beck and the Al Qeada use.
Following Ron Paul, I say “Make Trades, Not War!!!”

As much as I would fear having someone intoxicated kill or hurt my family, how can we sensibly advocate for pre-crime laws?
It’s the same argument the left has for gun control. We gun carrying conservatives have MORE potential to do harm by having a gun. Our potential to do harm is higher than those that don’t have a gun.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 12:14pmGlenn WAS pro-constitution, at least he acted like it. His actions however speak louder than words. He endorsed Bachmann first, and Santorum second. Santorum is the postserboy for neoconservatism, and Bachmann is not far behind who both blatantly will violate the constitution when it gets in the way of their personal feelings or religious affiliations (patriot act, more war). Lets face it, something happened to Glenn. He’s become an Israel firster to an extreme, and also has ties to Perry. While the Israeli firster attitude is prevalent in Christian Zionist circles, it is not prevalent outside of those circles, and is not mainstream amoung most Americans. Ron Paul scares Rick Perry as Ron Paul has something Rick Perry cannot manufacture – genuineness and principled views.
“”Rick, I think you and I could French kiss right now,” he said of Texas’s current governor, Rick Perry who is running for re-election.” – Glenn Beck, Feb 10, 2010 after he lambasted Debra Medina.
Lets see what a Christian Pastor has to say about Ron Paul’s views on Israel.

I’m so glad to see rationalman enjoying the article. I think Glenn put up the article just for you, as he knows you love to villify Ron Paul supporters as if they were Islamic Jihadists.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 11:29pmGrowing up in the 80′s .1% blood alcohol was dui and .08% was impaired. If memory serves, slick willie and his gang used the tried and true method of withdrwaing federal highway money to coerce states into lowering the threshold for dui to .08%
This cat was wasted and I think the real issue here is that the Immelt owned natgeo channel was using this to tar supporters of not only Dr Paul, but all conservatives who have awoken to the fact that our rights are being stripped away n a daily basis. I watched the radio show this morning and to me it seemed like the boys were having a laugh at the drunken dumb@ss bellowing at the cops. I’m sure most of us have had such a moment in our lives and took heat from our friends about it.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 11:06amA lot of Ron Paul’s financial advice has always made sense. But when he opens his mouth about foreign policy, he sounds like a radical liberal. We can thank him for bringing many issues to the forefront over the past 4+ years (particularly outrageous govt spending), but it’s time for him to exit the stage.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 11:54amCould someone please tell me where in the Constitution does it allow the US Government to invade other sovereign nations for the purpose of Nation Building? Read your constitution people. Stop rooting for a team with a D or an R in the name. There is too much at stake. Was it not Beck that said to ask questions with boldness. Is Beck above questioning? From what I see the Blaze has become no more than the Huffington Post for Republicans. This story is a prime example. This is not journalism. This is propaganda to turn Constitutionalist Americans away from the most Constitutional candidate we have.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 2:15pmwhat we have now, is not just one president job. This plan to “create” sustainable wars was lay out years ago. Look in the CFR and Zbigniew Brzezinski. He admitted, they have planed this. End game is to have great war when all the countrys will “bleed out” and banksters will take total control over the all world, and freedom will be lost forever.

(Happening at .1 and .2 respectively) Most people are out cold or can’t walk properly at .3 and lots of people go into comas and die before hitting .4. This guy can’t posssibly be .3 drunk and still walk that well. This is either fake and if it isn’t why does it matter?

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 1:11pmDr. Ron Paul, MD, Lt Col, USAF, Ret., though much maligned, recognizes as do Tea Party patriots, the urgent need to return to the Constitution as our first, best and last hope to save our nation.
America should listen to Congressman Paul very carefully because he’s correct.
Rather than mortgage our freedom, we must limit our bloated federal government to Constitutionally enumerated functions, while properly relying on the states for additional governance as their citizens deem necessary.
Except for Dr. Paul, politicians avoid the real cause of our economic problems, which is the Federal Reserve. It’s caused a century of turmoil including the great depression and a 95% devaluation of our once ‘good as gold’ dollar, now replaced by fiat Federal Reserve notes.[1]
As Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy, Dr. Paul is more knowledgeable about monetary policy than any other member of Congress. He is absolutely correct about how to solve the economic problems threatening our jobs, our children’s future and the very survival of America as a free nation!
We don’t want to waste years with a detailed audit of the Federal Reserve that accomplishes nothing economically. We want to abolish the Federal Reserve and return to Constitutional sanity!
