    Looks like CNN use alot of editing in this viideo to show that Paul dodged these questions. Seems to me he answered the question 3 seperate times.

    MSM media folks. You want to believe it, just like Santa.

    Ron Paul should have given that annoying CNN reporter a wedgie, and follows that with " Merry Christmas and a Happy New year you filthy animal".

    ToyCen: What editing are you referring to? From the video you posted, it was more than eight unedited minutes where Ron Paul answered fairly to fair questions.

    I'm not offering an opinion on Paul (I thought he handled the interview pretty well overall), but I don't understand your references to criticizing CNN -- in fact I felt "CNN" (the interviewer) gifted him with regard to questions pertaining to foreign policy.

    When you write "CNN at it again", what do you mean? Do you not like Gloria Borger? Do you not like CNN?

    I'm very confused by your seemingly iniquitous, superficial assessment, and, personally, I don't think you watched the entire video.

    It was edited when it ran on TV.

    He is talking about the edited one on tv that had a headline 'Paul storms out of interview' or something similar, it made him look terrible as if he was refusing to answer anything. It also showed him getting frustrated and leaving mid interview when now its obvious he stayed and walked out after the interview concluded.

    Can CNN get in trouble for that like character defamation btw?

    Just doesn't seem legal in what they did

    this was posted in your own thread yesterday before abovetopsecret put it up as the main headline.

    talk about believing whatever a news source tells you. it's funny that you put that Santa Claus line in there, lo and behold the story "The Santa Myth: Should we perpetuate the lie to children?" is filed under General Conspiracies under the popular topics forum on the front page of ATS.

    TV News edits footage so that it fits their argument to get better ratings?!? I am shocked....

    but what I saw was a clearly frustrated and visibly uncomfortable Ron Paul dictating the end of the interview.

    it's not an editing hit job when someone takes their mic off and walks out the room with his staff.

    the questioning clearly frazzled him.

    nice try but 20 years of the same question after giving clear answers frazzled him.

    If he can't handle the stress of interview questions about something he's had the answer for 20 years (though the answer changes regularly), then he might not be suited to handle the stress of the Presidency.

    He means they failed to mention that Paul is at 52% in Iowa.

    except for when they did, it was the mainstream media not being able to hide the numbers anymore

    next on "D&D with ToyCen428"

    U.S. District Court Rules Iran Behind 9/11 Attacks
    http://www.bloomberg.com/article/2011-12-23/aYoOcZ6NT3wo.html

    it's actually interesting info from the newswire, but it will be spun as Obama's perfect timing to go to war with Iran...

    ...'cuz, you know Bush is responsible for 9/11



    oh, and sheeple
