Fox GOP Debate, Shameful Tactics and the Smearing of Ron Paul



Never before in my life have i watched a presidential debate and was just left with nothing but disgust and anger over what i had just heard and witnessed. Last nights debate, Fox did everything they possibly could to smear and lie about Ron Paul. Despite the fact that a good majority of the audience broke out in huge applause for the Congressman, Fox deliberately boosted the audio microphones for Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, making sure that their sneers and giggling every time Ron Paul was asked a question was heared by everyone.

When we were watching it last night we thought it was someone in the audience laughing every time a question was posed to Ron Paul, but with my reading into some of the reviews of the debate, it was clear that Fox boosted the mics for Giuliani and Romney, so if you watch the debate the laughter you hear through the whole thing is from those two fuckers.


Ron Paul's first question revolved around a purposeful misquote of his position of allowing airline pilots to be armed. And from then on the public smearing of Ron Paul took place for another 90 minutes.


"The second question though revealed the unbelievable bias of Fox News," writes Anthony Wade. "In response to a question about Iraq and troops, Paul reiterated that we needed to pull the troops home, period. He has consistently said that we need to address the entire foreign policy and start protecting our own borders and our own country. In response to the false notion that there would be a “bloodbath” if we just pulled out, Paul quickly reminded everyone that the same people speculating that there would be a bloodbath are the same people who said Iraq would be a “cakewalk” and a “slam dunk.” He then correctly pointed out the faulty logic that says we need to stay for stability when it is widely reported that our presence on the Arabian Peninsula is what prompted the attacks of 911. The response from Chris Wallace was to pose his own follow up question which was, “So you are saying you would take your marching orders from al Qaeda?”
"Are you kidding me? The inherent bias in the question was disgusting during a debate forum and Chris Wallace revealed himself as nothing but a whore for the machine and not a credible newsperson. Thankfully, Dr. Paul was up to the task by responding that he would take his marching orders from the Constitution."


The last question was a "hypothetical" about Iran using nukes and threatening Israel. Ron Paul was asked first to set the stage for the rest of the panel to attack him on his answer.


Then after the debate the smearing just continued with Sean Hannity continually attacking the Congressman every chance he got. He even went as far as to say "Paulites" were cheating in the text voting of who won the debate because Ron Paul was winning by 33% with Giuliani a far second with 15%, even though you could not vote twice, clearing trying to dismiss Ron Paul's popularity.


Just the whole display last night was sickening to watch, but I have to give it to Ron Paul, he held his ground and didn't let it get to him. Fox is the most evil news organization in the whole fucking world! And remember to all you Hillary supporters out there, Rubert Murdock who runs Fox is one of the biggest financial supporters to the Hillary campaign.
