Jon Stewart's Extended Interview With Ron Paul
About a month ago, after everyone in the wholly conflicted media (just ask one question: who pays all that advertising money - nuf said), on both the left and the right, was ignoring the most promising presidential candidate this country has had in decades, Jon Stewart decided to take Ron Paul under his wing, and made it clear that while those who don't matter can pretend to ignore Ron, the one man who does, and who reaches more than most of the legacy "serious media" combined, has certainly noticed Paul. Naturally Stewart could have left it there, especially given his own personal political view. To his great credit, he did not. Instead last night in an extended exclusive interview, he presented Ron Paul in a way that he should have been presented from the beginning: no tricks, no gotchas, no gimmicks, no commercial breaks every 45 seconds. Hopefully this is the beginning of the transition of the Paul campaign to one where he has enough critical mass to be taken seriously by everyone - something "everyone" should be doing regardless.

Go Jon, Go Ron!
get on ron paul/huntsman ticket
if bruno loves ron paul so can i
Jon Stewart 2016??
and since we are on the topic of media blackouts, seems the MSM is mute about Ogolfer being outed as the antichrist at a fundraiser in LA's House of Blues.
If it weren’t for his extreme views on just about everything, Ron Paul might actually be a credible presidential candidate. Among Mr Paul’s other dangerous views and beliefs, the following concern me the most:
1. He supports regular audits of the Federal Reserve, which would seriously compromise their ability to set monetary policy independently without political meddling
2. He favours the end of social security which could see millions of elderly and disabled people on the streets during these tough economic times
3. He intends to legalise ALL drugs, giving children access to life-threatening substances such as marijuana, cocaine and heroin to name a few
4. Mr Paul follows the long discredited ‘Austrian school of economics’ which consists of nothing but a motley crew of eccentric and clownish anarchists
5. He supports the legalisation of gay marriage at the state level, which could see children being raised by parents of the same sex
Quite frankly, Ron Paul is an embarrassment and should leave politics to more mature professionals who know how to represent America properly.
When did telling the truth become extreme?
Truth is treason in the Kingdom of Lies...
@milliondollar-Go troll the Toronto Sun. You know that nobody in here thinks that is a remotely intelligent statement, right? At least try to be funny next time...
seriously.. milliondollar is clearly a cass sunstien mouth whore..
He's a professional deadpan comedic mastermind.
Simply stunning, fucking hilarious and I can't believe how many on this site miss the in your face deadpan snarc.
Milliondollar is a master performance artist in the great tradition of comedians.
I think its funny he/she/it can still get people fired up and take him seriously. That is the point of trolling, no?

All these actors are a part of the plunder. Why is it so hard to see that RP is AS MUCH establishment as every other serving politico. It canot be otherwise.
Pied piper for libertarian Wannabes. Otherwise, so weak a leader that he could never call/rally enough of his re-pubes around him to make any difference/ Stop a war? Reduce taxes? Block the TARP?
Something more than tongue-wag?
Bah, Humbug. People get the "leaders" they deserve.

Thunder, Perfect Mind
it does seem impossible that ron paul could be nominated, elected and avoid assassination (not to mention co-option) long enough to govern.
but don't we have to try?
with romney and perry trying to knock each other off, he's in a not bad tactical position. with the nation/world reentering a recession within a depression there is/will be great incentive for voters to consider different ideas/messengers. his main policy ideas (stop the bailouts, stop the wars) are actually popular everywhere but among the power elite. obama is a weak and weakening opponent (as are his republican rivals).
imo the toughest opponent is the national security state whose collective trigger finger is so so ready to take out r.p. and, say, huntsman to deliver us to the mercies of president boehner.
Jeff, look at these times we live in. obama has broken every electiion promise he made except promising more hope and change. He still looks like a happy pres and no million man march on the Capitaol, yet anyways.
Take a look a these...
Weird Hillary Stuff
I don't believe he can stand on his plank for a day once in office.
Thus the whole charade needs to come down. Ploitics will not solve the problem.
Fox, Henhouse and all that.

Hey you know that guy that a lot of you love to hate bob_dabolina ..the guy is a total fraud. He started a blog to prove what a great trader he is. Claims he turned 100,000 into 2.4M this year. What he failed to mention is that it was in a TOS papertrading account. It is fucking easy to push the buy and sell button when you have no real money at risk.
Check out these images of today's latest post where he claims to have made $62,000 today. If you look closely at the detail on the screenshot of his position statement you will see a button that says Reset All Positions. This button doesn't exist in a real trading account with real money. Coincidently(not) all TOS Papertrade accounts start with $100,000.
http://imgur.com/a/xui01
I seriously hope bob_dabolina is a 16 year old who is just fucking around with everyone, because if he is an adult all I can say is..wow...what a pathetic excuse for a man!
After I called Bob out on his blog he edited the screen shot of his "trade" and erased my post where I pointed out the reset button to another poster. What a douche!
I didn't erase shit,
I'll do ANOTHER fucking post on this BS
You cropped the original screenshot to remove the Reset All Positions button.
BULLSHIT
I just posted a full screenshot asshole (with my acct # redacted) I've done this before on multiple pages for other assholes.
You're paranoid
I think you are losing your mind. Your new screenshot shows your P/L for today as 0 (as in zero..no money...nada) What happened to the $165,000 in profit that you claimed you made on /GC in the previous post titled
Closeout: Two hours + $165,000I've beaten this dead horse, and will continue to do so. Ron Paul's wife and daughters are in the Order of the Eastern Star, the masonic order. He has ties to a secret society like every other president. This likely assures he will win, and people will cheer. So what if he wants to sell all our gold, which would address all of about 3% of the national debt. People keep saying Ron Paul doesn't get any media coverage, but that's just untrue. He gets plenty. ZeroHedge readers, if you are as educated as you think you are, be wary of this guy. If you want a real champion of the truth without strings attached check out Chuck Baldwin. Most of you probably don't know who he is anyway. He is what Ron Paul is painted as, but the genuine article.
whose gold is that? not my gold, yours? you mean the gold that was stolen in the first place? you sure it's still there? you sure it isn't already sold or leased or pledged as collateral against loans that can never be paid back? is that the gold you're referring to?
jack napier: that ron paul's wife and daughter are in the order of the eastern star (and he has ties to (other?) unstated secret societies) assures him of a win? really?
You are a goober an should be checked in a mental ward.. Although Ron should be elected, he will not because most of the people in the U.S are brainwashed by television, radio, and other media outlets. Expect Obama to be re-elected because our people are complete SHEEP!
I have a TOS account, if you made $165,000 in /GC today it would be there in your latest screenshot, under P/L Day...geez you are pathetic!
Wow! nice investigative work. The other day he was calling out Tmosely for making a bad call but on the other hand it was okay for him to make a bad call. Total hypocrite.
IEVI I think you exposed this guy. "Reset all positions" is not in a trader account. And that P/L showing "0" is a dead giveaway.
Fraudster. Lawlz.
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!!! Are you complaining about how I have my layout set up?
If you made $165,000 today, it would show under your P/L column. Right now, showing zero.
Exposed.
Here's the latest screenshots from his blog.
http://imgur.com/a/Mj1Ed
Where's your profit in G/C Bobby? You claim on your blog you made $165,000 today.
This is turning out to be quite the detective caper. Look at all the action on his site at http://tradeonfire.blogspot.com/
Awesome...
IEVI HOLY SHIT -- now he's altering his computer images to argue it was after midnight and the numbers reset. Yet you SAVED the image showing an 11:00 p.m. print on his screen. Plus his account shows it's still the same day.
Fucking exposed.
You guys better save that for when he comes back... Use it for future ammo.
Here's a screenshot of my account with a later time than his. Check out the P/L Day under /SIH2
Mine didn't reset and neither did his, we are both PST.
http://imgur.com/Ty1zX
IEVI, you have a screenshot with his computer at 11:00 p.m. So do I. Then he goes and changes it to 12:00 p.m., and tries to argue it "reset" at midnight. Fucking lawlz, TD Ameritrade doesn't work that way.
Stick a fork in him, he's done. As is that bullshit website. FINISHED.
Dabolina "account" showing zero activty and zero P/L with 11:00 p.m. computer timestamp: http://imageshack.us/f/831/bobdabolinaone.png/
And here is Dabolina "altered" image, now arguing it is "after" midnight because of computer screen time: http://imageshack.us/f/163/bobdabolinatwo.png/
Yeep, both accounts reflect not a fucking thing at risk, no positions, no money made/lost.
In TOS the futures reset at midnight CST. Since his platform and mine are set to PST the futures P/L would reset at 22:00 PST
His first screenshot shows a time of 20:01 PST and his second shows 20:49 PST ..both before the reset.
Proof of how TOS platform works:

All y'all, that is what is called "trading at the hard right edge" ;-) - Ned
I am disappoint, Bob.
Fuck all the establishment presstitute hores and everything else.
I'm voting for Ron Paul even if I have to write his name in.
The only thing I can add to this wonderful comment is to PRIMARY for Ron Paul ... that means register Republican! If you are a Democrat, what better way to scuttle the Republican odds against Obama than <cough/> getting Ron Paul on the ticket. What could possibly go wrong?

And THAT'S why I'm registered republican!
Would you prefer the grape Koolaid or the raspberry?
psst, Mom, Robo and I were on Facebook chatting, he's well, ... worried about you ... He is kinda' embarrassed that you are hangin' around his old turf. But, well, ... er ... that is OK by him, it is just that, well, he's kinda' embarrassed. 'cuz, when he was growing up, youi, well, insisted that he learn how to read. And, you see, he's worried that you can't see the entry on a post called, well "reply". You see, that allows you to actually, well, reply to the person you are talking to.
But that was always his ... er ... issue. You'd hang around, not answer to his questions, talk trash (I'm quoting here!), and, well, steal his girlie books.
So, he was wishing if you'd use the "reply" button. Thanks.

There may be a chance Herman Cain wins and chooses Paul as Vice President then Paul may have a chance but only if something should happen to Cain while in office.
Otherwise Paul hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of winning. :o
I admire Paul and do agree with much of what he says, however I believe to many of the uneducated voting populace thinks he's a kook. Come to think about it because of this Cain, if nominated which is another long shot, may have to chose someone other than Paul for VP.
I also respect Paul's persistence because he brings to light much of the contempt of basic Constitutional principles that policy makers often interfere with.
The odds right now are with Romney, Perry, and possibly Christie should he throws his hat into the ring. If Christie runs I believe he would have a chance of winning.
I was waiting for someone to mention Cain -
Go Cain!
RP is so ... yesterday ...
Fuckin Federal Reserve Bank Chairman?
Fuck That!
"Ident is so...fucking stupid". Shut up you vapid POS...you offer the same as the IQ 77 populace, nothing.
Cain ... the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City ... and Ron Paul as VP? Are you a fucking moron?
Regards,
Cooter
It's clear you're a douche, CrazyCooter
Cain bio, short form:
He is the former chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza and a former deputy chairman (1992–94) and chairman (1995–96) of the board of directors to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
Before his business career he worked as a mathematician in ballistics as a civilian employee of the United States Navy.
Cain's newspaper column is distributed by North Star Writers Group.
- - - - -
And I'll bet he could whip your butt, too, Cooter.
if he stands on his head you'll see the true meaning of his "999" plan.
I looked Cain up after the SNL spoof and there is quite a bit to like; certainly more than anyone other than RP. However, the one thing I am not hearing from anyone, and RP had the perfect segue in clip 3 above and passed on the opportunity, is that concentration of power allows the abuses Stewart referred to in the industrial era as mentioned in clip 3. If a company can grow organically to huge size, I have no real problem with it (after all, how often does that happen?), but to allow a bunch of wall street thieves to get rich from M&A promotion to create monstrosities large enough to buy the government is criminal. That is why the Sherman anti-trust act was created and is also one of the reasons I hold Teddy Roosevelt in esteem. Big enough to buy the government is no more acceptable than TBTF. I like what RP or Cain want to fix, and the way they propose doing it, but allowing these bloated multi-national corporations to continue to exist will insure that any efforts they make to fix the other problems will fail. What I want to hear, and the guy I will vote for, is the one willing to use Sherman like a fire ax to dismember big agro, big pharma, the MIC, the TBTFs, and all the rest. Then we can get some jobs back.
"9 9 9" upside down is "6 6 6". Sounds about right.
Congratulations! You have a death grip on the obvious.
Sometimes the only way to handle the truth is to kill the messenger.
By appealing to tons of bullshit about the Constitution and other patriotic crap, Congressman Ron Paul is able to seduce his brute and ignorant constituency while doing nothing at all in Congress (a clever way to make easy money). Besides that, Americans are just a bunch of stupid animals easy to manipulate and subdue. The sooner the US economy collapses the better, so these brutes will finally learn NOT to live beyond their means.
RON PAUL OR NONE AT ALL!
lad, if you actually can get into double digits of days, you'll see that your choice is rather jejune.

I'm sure the entire medical profession is behind this & are "marijuana pushers"...I really should have saved that for a GW thread ;-)

hey, guys, this place seems to be full of people looking to stir up something today, no?
What do you mean: "No?"
hey, tek, just seems like night of the living trolls...

Go on record here who's ever driving nmewn today. Are you for or against the good Doctor?
listen, fool! ned and nmewn are good people, go troll at cnbs or get a real job...
Darn - is it too late to kick Wanklord in the nuts?
well, took ya long enough, ya get to the good part watching sesame street, or romper room? oh, i see, your a quitter. just go join the ranks of all the substandard pondscum that couldnt make the cut in life.
back in the day we would have chewed you up, shit you out, and use you to fertilize Arlington, you meligering loafer...
The only honest post a sock puppet has ever made.
"...nmewn. A couple of real trolls sharing a special moment. Beautiful."
Your too stupid to even understand what just happened up here BI...look down thread...its called interference.
I must admit though, I'm getting a little fatigued beating the shit out of asshole LaRouche infiltrators (like Huxley on Banzai's post) while RP supporters stand there like stone statues on their "principle" of free speech and say nothing to defend him.
Which is the answer to your question...isn't it?...troll.
hey, bro, these trolls pissed me off, how you doing nmewn
Don't be a spaz. Try looking up Herman Cain. Srsly.
Dr. Paul and the treatment the MSM usually gives him reminds me of Barry Goldwater ("In your heart you know he's right!).
I think Dr. Paul should use this handle, "Ron Paul, better late than never".
I will support and vote for Ron Paul in the primary. He will not win in the current America. Half of Americans want to be taken care of by the government, including many Republicans. They expect and demand the government "do something" the fix the economy (meaning blow another bubble, any kind of bubble). Ron Paul doesn't promise to fix the economy, grow jobs, preform miracles, etc.... He could honestly do a Col. Jessip and tell America "You can't handle the truth", but that won't win elections.
Look for Obama vs. Romney, won't matter who wins they are both bought and paid for. Congress will still be split, and Rome will burn while they point fingers at each other.
There was a time when people immigrated to America because it was the best country in the world for honest, hard working people to start a new life. Many left behind next to nothing and established family lines and dynasties in our great country (as did mine on both sides).

All that is left today is a husk of our great lady. I am pissed off. I want ass kicking and leadership.
RP is the only chance we have left to retain the greatness we used to have, as we are about to be pushed aside by international bankers and relegated to colony status once again.

Cooter - if you're "looking for a leader" why not look in the mirror. You say your family made it great in America and you sound bitter it's not so good for you. Look in the mirror and ask yourself why you need a leader and need to be led? ...there in the mirror is the answer to your question of why you're rudderless, leaderless, moronicus staring back at you
Any twat wanting to follow these charlatans (politician) deserves the miserably life they've CHOSEN for themselves. You think voting for someone else will save you or make you better? What friggin zombie planet do you live on?
You think voting for one of these corrupt full-of-shit political parties with their sugar coated turds (promises) will change anything? Have you a choice to stop the 3 illegal foreign wars/occupations??? Is there anything in their manifestos to alter 98% of Govts course? Can you change the smoking ban? Can you change the EPA stopping forestors forest? Can you stop the Dept of Agri subsidising corn ethanol?
The voting system is designed to marginalise your vote. You are 1 vote amongst 100s of thousands. Your chances are greater to jump on a motorbike and hit Europe by taking off a ramp in New York. The voting system is rigged, you have no voice, you have no vote. When on will you fuking wake up and think deeper than a pizza about anything?
Here's the News: there's no colective that works. There's no organisation that'll help you out. You have to do it all for yourself. That's what made America the wrold leader (for a time). Until the charlatans, crooks and parasites of 'democratic Govt' trashed everything that was great: individualism, freedom, free markets.
The parasites of Govt and behind Govt bled the country dry. They impoverished America, the US Govt, by intervening in markets, by robbing productive people of their wealth. Go see the Russian Revolution, the French Revolution, the Chinese Revolution. All were impoverished people bled dry by a parasitical (unproductive) elite.
Only the French Revolution worked (for a time). 2 out of 3, China and Russia, replaced one set of a elite parasites with another set of elite aparsites (socialists-Marxists) who then continued to bleed their country dry and drive it down the sewer.
You are a sad reflection (pale shadow) of the individualistic drive that built a once great country. You are a living excuse of why the US is going down the toilet. You want to be saved, you're looking for someone else to save you. Do it yourself. Ron Paul won't, he wants smaller Govt, like a baby parasite, just to bleed you dry a little bit less (until it grows bigger)
Govt is the biggest shithole and criminal racket in every country. Ron Paul is a well meaning idealistic idiot (that's about as good as a politician will get). How many politicians or Govts do you need to fuck over every country on the planet, more than once, before you learn Govt is the toilet of society???????
...another 100 destroyed bankrupted countries???????????????????????????????????????????
Grow Up, Wise Up, Rise Up.... do it yourself or go top yourself and stop waisting space Blogging like a dribbling idiot
I am a software engineer. I am logical, methodical, pedantic, and obsessive about things I love. I love to learn. My father was an auditor for the RailRoad Commission of Texas. My grandfather was a land man for HL Hunt. On that note, my grandfather played professional foot ball in the days of cotton equipment, when a man was allowed a partial pint of whiskey on the bench and the pay was $10. He was a bouncer after law school, in clubs and such, during the great depression. The best work a Georgetown lawyer could get, because he was a a big man. When I pay cash, I peel out paper from a money clip he carried for many years; 1934 is the morgan silver dollar, the year he graduated law school.
I wanted to start a business many years ago. Then I learned what business is about these days. I did half my career consulting, the other half as direct hire/employee. There is no market for passion, talent, or innovation in my field, on a micro level. It is about sales, administration, and gaming the system. Consulting companies are built not on talent or value, but on cozy relationships, steak dinners, hookers, and blow.
That is not who I am; so I bide my time. Maybe one day, but only when the chains are gone. You want to know what I am really close to doing? Professional work through a local non-profit building online marketing systems for local businesses. I am looking at app-engine via google as a free platform to put any business online. I have the know how and I am about ready to give it away. But I live in a small town, where a man can pull his weight and earn a return in local social currency.
I can not save the world, as much as I would like to. I can only live within the parameters of the legal frameworks put in place by which I must operate. To do otherwise is ... well, foolish.
So go fuck yourself. Give me a marketplace based on competition and I shall build a business.

kk1532003, do you think Stewart will ever mention World Trade Center 7 and Larry Silverstein saying ''we decided to pull it''. Lol. Yeah, Stewart is not smart, he's a Bitch.

If you're kidding, you are hilarious.
Not many of these I personally disagree with, but then again, I am an "eccentric...clownish anarchist", so what the fuck do I know.
MDB absolutely rocks - I gave him his 2nd green+. Consider what we had deal with before MDB arrived on the scene: Harry Wanger, Hamy Wanger, RoboTrader, Johnny Rocket, et al. Bores, each and everyone of them, periodically serving scant offerings of derision & amusement.
I must hand it to Tyler - not only has he built a site that draws the best financial minds, but now the best trolls as well. The truly beautiful element behind MDB's posts is that, without any hint of irony, they reflect actual mainstream thought from around 3-4 years ago.
I agree, it stays in character and its an awesome performance artist. My next challenge to him would be to see him stay in character while actually engaging in back and forth debate with one of us. He does not actually fight at fight club. He does lay down some great material though.
walking and breathing irony. it's nice to have this to kick around.
He may not fight but he knows the site weakpoints and knows where to throw a jab that brings out the worst of the posters. To his/her credit, he knows the meat to throw the ravenous dogs that will get them foaming. Cries of troll and demands MDB be banned from the site reveals that many posters just don't get the joke and to many the supposed libertarian nature of ZH is great as long as the commentary of the other posters agrees with their own.
I junked you because I disagreed w/ your tear-jerk generalisation, your melo-drama. Who's demanding banning? Caning maybe, but no banning.
Ever been in flyover country?
If Mako's fin pops up too, I'm gonna need more Depends.
