Jon Stewart Rips Media For Ignoring Ron Paul

In the aftermath of the Iowa straw poll this week past weekend, the media universally declared a “new top tier” was in effect for the Republican field, except the second place finisher, Ron Paul, was seemingly excluded from this tier across the board.
Jon Stewart didn’t let this oversight slide. In the clip below, Stewart took the media to task for failing to give even a hat tip to Ron Paul’s second place finish in the straw poll. Ron Paul was just shy of the top spot, yet conservative commentators pretended like he wasn’t even a contender.
Was Stewart really trying to be fair, and does he respect Ron Paul’s consistency? Or was this just a subtle attempt to distract from other Republican candidates thought to be more “electable” on a nationwide scale?

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 10:46amWell, like it or not, what Stewart is saying is true. Paul came in first in a post-debate poll on The Blaze, came in second in the Straw Poll, and routinely polls in high numbers. Yet he is persona non grata in the media, left or right. I am not an advocate for Ron Paul for President. But I do recognize much of what Stewart says as the truth here. Paul does not waffle on the issues; he speaks his mind. I may not agree with him on foreign policy, but he’s spot on with his domestic agenda. He comes across as the crazy uncle no one wants to talk about, and seems somewhat un-Presidential in his demeanor. But to simply ignore him is to ignore the People, who seem to flock to him in large numbers. I have a gut feeling that the Republican Party is only parading him out there in order to solidify the Tea Party vote, but they otherwise want to ignore him. Otherwise, why not let former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson join in these debates? The nomination will go to one of the other three mentioned, but to pretend that it is because of a truly democratic process is to ignore the facts in front of your face.

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 11:12amExactly. RON PAUL is the ONLY candidate The MSM does not want to win. THAT SHOULD BE A HUGE WARNING FLAG !!!! The MSM is owned by the global elite and Military Industrial Complex. Ron Paul is a serious threat to their agendas. They are waging a devastating Silent war on Capitalist and free nations to destroy them Economically and Socially and they are so far, winning. RON PAUL is brilliant and educated with 30 years in D.C. being Anti-Establishment and true to his word.
Report Post »He knows more about IRAN’s nukes and the threat of Islamification of the world. He also knows Policing IRAN will not do anything about Islamification and that IRAN could never successfully deliver a ICBN nuke to us. he knows HE knows IRAN can buy what it needs from the Black Market whether we Police them or not. THE ONE reason RON PAUL wants to remain neutral is not because he wants to “give them a nuke” it is because. WE ARE NOT THE WORLD”S POLICE and he understands we are losing our country because of actions like these. PLEASE PEOPLE, learn about the Military Industrial Complex. He can stop this madness !!!! Can anyone here today tell us where we have the Authority to Govern Sovereign nations regardless of how “Crazy” they are. Have we Dis-Armed North Korea, or are we hypocrites? Jon Stewart is right for the Second time in his life !!!

The only reason Paul has done as good as he has IS because the media has not pampered him. If everyone heard everything Paul has to say, not just about ecomonics but EVERYTHING, he would have never made it to the straw poll.
Crazy old uncle Ron will just go home after he embarrasses himself at the family reunion and we won’t have to deal with him until the next holiday. And when that day comes, we will seat him at the kiddie table again away from the adults, as always. Sure, we love crazy uncle Ron, but having to deal with him more than on holidays, is just a little too much……………….

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 11:22amIt’s pretty evident that Ron Paul is being excluded because of his foreign policy views. I don’t think the majority of voting Americans will be able to go for his isolationist views; it shows a fundamental lack of understanding the middle east dynamic and the complex problems around the globe, where the U.S. does have interests; in self preservation, mostly.

I am sure he prefers they do not, but he knows they are a sovereign Nation and we have no authority to tell them what they can and can not have.

The MSM does not want you to know this either. Any other candidate than Paul is a Neo-Con. Bachmann was the closest thing to Paul, but showed she was a Neo-Con and NO Tea Party member, when she signed the extension of the Patriot Act !!!

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 11:42amIf i hear someone use “isolationist” incorrectly again on this forum, I am going to refer to you as a ****** permanently.
Isolationism means that you do not fight, associate, or TRADE with nations. Ron Paul advocates heavily to trade with foreign nations. So therefore he is not Isolationist. He is a Non-Interventionist.
Non-Interventionist.
Non-Interventionist.
Say it with me folks!
Non-Interventionist.
The interesting part of this whole ordeal, is that the Blaze notes that Ron Paul has NEVER voted against the Constitution.
NEVER.
Michelle Bachmann has, with the Patriot Act. If you do something once, you surely can do it again.
Also, she does not address the Federal Reserve, our country’s biggest problem. Yes blazers believe it or not, gay marriage and Muslims are not the biggest problem, it is the Federal Reserve.
Michelle Bachmann is the only other candidate worth mentioning, everyone else is so completely fake i am not wasting time typing them out.
If you people truly want to save the Republic, stop listening to the Right versus Left lies that spew from the media, those lies are meant to control you.
And….Vote Ron Paul 2012!

As an ex Army NCO in the 82nd Airborne, 1-504th PIR, I can honestly tell you, that you are wrong.
War Mongering has never solved problems with other nations, and that is exactly what we are doing. To suggest that we need to invade any country that has Nuclear Capabilities, shows a complete lack of intelligent thought.
Shall we invade China, Pakistan, India, Russia, Israel? Oh that might be a little expensive wouldn’t it. That might help further the destruction of the dollar wouldn’t it?
If America crumbles from within economically, does Iran having a nuclear bomb that it cannot even navigate to the United States matter? No, it does not.
Besides, Israel has hundreds of nukes, if Iran does anything fishy you can count on Israel taking care of business. China would not want Iran to nuke either, because they are making quite a bit of money off other foreign nations right now.
Get real Neocon. By the way, just because your a Butterbar, does not really make you an officer.
If you are a higher rank than that, you should feel ashamed of yourself for advocating more Americans to die for Empire America.

Keep up the good fight and keep your cool. I encourage you all to speak up and stand in truth. Contact Glenn Beck and ask him to have HONOR and COURAGE to speak truthful around his contradictions of being NeoCon VS Libertarian.
Ask Glenn if he is advocating war with Iran
Ask Glenn if he is for one world government
Ask Glenn why securing borders in middle east is more important then Americas
Ask Glenn which is more a threat to AMERICA, Iran or the Fed
Ask Glenn why he supports Perry a Buildaberg member, like Clinton, Bo, Bush and not the one he says is most like the founders
For some reason Glenn is hypocritical on every one of these and feels no one will notice or no one will call him out. Being a supporter of Glenn for so long it is our responsibility to.
The one the media will not talk about, Ron Paul, is because he can beat Barack Obama. Dismiss your worst threat as if it doesn’t exist until you absolutely have to.

Stewart was pointing out the hypocrisy of Fox with this point of Paul.
Why would the media outlet holding the debate not show the poll Paul won the debate? Then Paul finishes in a really close second and isn’t mentioned but they mention Santorum a far far distant 4th and mention Pawlenty who finished 3rd and dropped out! When they mentioned Paul it was he isn’t really “electable”.
John Stewart proved his point right there. Fox has an agenda.
And your wrong, the biggest threat is ignored, thus the reason Fox is ignoring Ron Paul and not pointing put the Progressiveness of the other fake candidates. It is so obvious it is sickening. America needs consistency. America needs Ron Paul.

Wrong! As all of you are in the Pauline Cult.
I have heard more than enough about Iran, legalizing drugs and prostitution, and foreign policy to make up my own mind. Paul has it right on some issues and wrong on others, IMO, enough to not make me want to take him seriously. Or you either for that matter!

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 3:09pmwhat i like about ron paul, is that he doesn’t seem to be a partisan hack. in many ways, he is more electable than bachmann is, because paul can get the youth vote, and the independents. bachmann doesn’t appeal to anyone but the far right and the tea partiers. the center aligned or left leaning republicans won’t be moved to vote for her.
And really, why bother courting the tea party… because we all know, when it comes down to it, the tea party will vote for anyone with a pulse over obama.

They don’t care simply because they are shills for AIPAC and Israel. Again some knowingly; most simply brainwashed.
Tune in to Mike Church on XM/Sirius from 6-9 am in the morning. Mike will have an interview with Paul. Also Mike has made some excellent Movies and CDs about the Founding Fathers. Mr. Church like Paul is a true Patriot. A man trying to immulate our Founders.
Every election I always seem to be with an outcast.. lol Actually I just pick anti-establishment but this simply gets old.
I remember being for Pat Buchanon, Perot, Alan Keyes, then Huckabee, and now Ron Paul.. Always seem to be fighting an uphill battle. lol
I think it was 88 when Pat won 2 primaries before the entire Media establishment ran nothing but one week of anti Buchanon shows incessatnly 24/7 calling a racist and anti-semite.. he was soon cast aside as the Jewish Media’s assertions began to take the desired effect.

There are things with Cain I find appealing but I’m concerned first with his stance on the Federal Reserve. In an interview with Neil Boortz Herman stated we don’t need to audit the Federal Reserve and that we the people just need to talk to a Federal Reserve representative to better understand. Cain was also very critical of those criticizing the bailouts on his program.
I like some of his ideas on taxes and how devastating healthcare will be to us and I respect his candor in speaking his views. He seems as a good man and is better then the known established Republicans. I just don’t feel his views on how to get America back on track and mine are the same. Not addressing the Federal Reserve will destroy America IMO.

I can sympathize with some of these people in their beliefs because I was, and not too long ago, a “neo-con”. I believed all of the lies.
What changed me personally was reading “The Road to Serfdom”, and “Liberty Defined”. (Although Austrian Economics helped me as well.)
It blew my mind that both Republicans and Democrats push for Statism. I also never understood that Militarism is another form of socialism.
So I try to explain points without being condescending. It is apparent however, that many people on here just violently oppose Ron Paul, just to spite, or simply because they cannot stomach taking back what they have said in the past about him.
I hope that people on this site realize that Ron is our only hope, because if he is not elected, our country will destroy itself.
That concept is terrifying to me, especially since I am still rather young and will have to endure it.
Hopefully we (the true Patriots who support Liberty) will get enough support to change the path this country is traveling….

Report Post »Although I’m quite a bit older than you (my first voting experience at 18 was Reagan 1980), our stories of conversion from neocon to libertarian are very similar.
In 08 I voted for McCain and it did not feel good. I started reading Ron Paul shortly after that and was very surprised to discover that not only was he not crazy at all, but he’s brilliant. In fact I could not find a single word that he said that I could honestly disagree with. I also started studying Austrian Economics and discovered guys like Murray Rothbard, Michael Badnarick, Tom Woods. Lew Rockwell and many others.
Throughout the 80′s, 90‘s and up to ’08, under the influence of Rush, Hannity, Glenn and others I considered myself a good conservative. However, now that I’m more educated I realize that this is phony conservatism.
While I voiced support for our war efforts overseas (and our “war” on drugs), in the back of my mind I always knew as a Christian, that our aggressive, pre-emptive wars and occupation were wrong and also that the war on drugs was a gigantic waste of money as well as being hypocritical considering the copious amounts of alcohol our culture consumes. Ron Paul gave me the confidence to move away from those immoral, hypocritical postures.
Thanks again to you and all of the Ron Paul supporters who intelligently and rationally promote todays Thomas Jefferson. Comparing content of pro-Paul posts to anti- Paul posts is absolute proof that we are right.

Posted on August 17, 2011 at 4:13amGood work Ron Paul supporters keep it up! Just one thing, those who say Stewart is trying to manipulate the GOP primary to help obama are flat wrong. Have you considered that maybe he is just doing the job that the real media is supposed to be doing?–reporting the truth. Ron Paul is actually the BEST candidate to beat Obama. All of the republicans will vote for him over obama for sure. And with obama’s approval so low, Paul is going to strip away tons of votes from him. A socially conservative extremist or neocon (all the other candidates) will run them right back into the arms of the dems. End the wars, legalize drugs, keep special interests and religion out of government. You can be absolutely certain that these issues will resonate with a lot of democrats.

Posted on August 22, 2011 at 10:45pmIt’s pretty evident that Ron Paul is being excluded because of his foreign policy views. I don’t think the majority of voting Americans will be able to go for his isolationist views; it shows a fundamental lack of understanding the middle east dynamic and the complex problems around the globe, where the U.S. does have interests; in self preservation, mostly.
I‘m sorry but you’re just plain wrong Ron Paul is the only candidate who‘s actually written a book detailing exactly why we need to stay out of the affairs of foreign countries we may have interests but its morally wrong and actually doesn’t boost our economy ecause we end up spending more in weapons and building bases than we can receive from robbing resources from other countries. We also cripple the world economy by doing so. How would Americans feel if they were the victims for once in their lives???… exactly and its not isolationism when you talk and trade peacefully with other countries its just good economics and friendships. As a veteran I really thought you’d be better than this.

If you honestly believe what you say, you can debate it with conviction.
Maybe the “Ron Paul Cultists” are so bent on supporting Ron Paul, because they know he is logically correct on all of the issues he addresses, even the hard ones.
That answer however, is perfect for me, because if someone is unwilling to debate their views they usually fall neatly in one of these subgroups, either:
1) They cannot back their argument up with any facts.
2) They haven’t truly bothered to research anything, and they are aware of that, so they avoid conflict.
3) They are not truly convicted on where they stand, because they are unwilling to commit to their view.

Because we were prepared to kill every German and Japanese on the face of the planet Earth if that what it took to win. These politicians don’t want to win this war on terror. And those of you that support sending America’s youth to die for this cause are lying to yourselves and are sending them to a futile death. You all just keep calling them heros if it makes you feel better. They are in fact brave and selfless men and women, but the hero term is one that you give them to justify sending them to be murdered in a war that “we the people” won’t allow them win. Either let them win by allowing them to start killing Muslims wholesale until the enemy loses the will to fight back or don’t have enough people to muster for battle and surrender, Allow them to utterly destroy the infrastructure of the Arab nations that support terror by bombiing them day and night for months on end until the common people on the street sue for peace.

Writing or saying “neo-con” may make one stupid (in your opinion) but being a neo-con (and probably not even realizing it) is truly stupid. Trust me I used to be one and I know for a fact – it was stupid.

Posted on August 17, 2011 at 1:09amLOL @ COUS – I too was a neocon.
There is one other term we haven’t talked about much yet- Tea-o-con. Supposed tea-partiers who love small government except when it comes to expanding the military budget/complex and expanding the war state who still believe George W. Bush was a great President on foreign policy. Bachmann is a prime example of a tea-o-con, who disagrees w/ the Libyan war but hangs onto the notion that somehow we did this great thing in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we don’t know when to leave because John McCain said it might take a 95 year occupation to win the war. (Sarcasm)
That’s truly the division within the tea-party, tea-o-con Republicans and Constitutional anti-war Republicans. We both agree on the majority of the economic issues, and even most conservatives I speak with these days are done w/ imprisoning people for drug infractions. Hell, even brother Pat Robertson wants to end the drug war as it’s counterproductive. I don’t find it surprizing that those who mimic the words of The Doctor of Democracy and the Levin constitutional comedy hour love to ridicule Paul for his beliefs, when the man has more moral integrity in his personal life, marriage and treatment of others than all the talk radio clowns combined. Dr. Paul continues to show his quality, and I can’t say that for the remainder of them, with the exception of Hannity who comes around once in a while.

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 10:45amAnyone that thinks Ron Paul is a liberal probably also thinks that obama is his personal messiah. I have seen (and posted) just about everything that there is to see and the OPINION that Ron Paul is a liberal is the stupidest one I have ever seen on here. And that goes for what the liberal wacko trolls on here are saying as well. Carter is glad that he no longer is the worst president and I wonder if the liberal wacko trolls are glad that they do not have the stupidest post on The Blaze any more.

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 11:50amLook I know your only source of information is the propaganda box, but let me break this down for you.
Ron Paul is the one who scores highest among Independants and Liberals against Obama.
So to argue that he “can’t beat Obama” and imply that someone so fake as Romney can, is absolutely disgusting.
Look I know your lazy, and you want your information force fed to you from FOX so you do not have to actually think about anything, but I encourage you to research a topic before you comment on it.

Report Post »I know Paul is your dream candidate but face facts the man doesn’t appears Presidential. I have all the respect in the world for DR. Paul I believe him to be a sincere man that bases all his decisions on the Constitution. Which generally speaking is great how ever in these times somethings have to are beyond anything our forefathers could see. I believe we need to stop policing the world just like Ron I however don‘t believe that country’s ruled by chaos or whose leaders want to bring about armagadon should have the right to nuclear weapon. Ron’s views on that and that alone is enough to lose him the election. He’[ll never be president and with a pollyanna view of other nations he shouldn’t be. I do think in the position of Treasury Dr. Paul could do more to save this nations economy than he could as President. He could have his named etched in history as the man that turned the tide set forth by our truely worst president in history WILSON

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 10:23amIgnore him all they want for now. It’s less pressure. I think Paul is the only one who can restore our democracy if it’s even possible anymore.
This is the real story that the media is not and cannot report on. Here’s what Obama, Osama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin had to do with the last election and the military’s overthrow of our government.

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 10:48am@JLGunner – remind me again – which nation is the only nation in the history of the world to ever use nuclear weapons against another sovereign nation? There are plenty of nuclear armed nations out there that do not like the U.S. – China, Pakistan,N. Korea. The threat from nuclear weapons is the deterrent – not the actual use of them.

Report Post »Notice all of the tiny countries that are not afraid of Iran? Notice how only a few felt so threatened by Iraq, thousands of miles away that they had to send an army to make them feel secure.
When you do extreme things like murdering foreigners in their homelands from thousands of miles away, that makes you an extremist, because you go to the most extreme act there is.
