FoxNews Hit Piece Ron Paul, says Paul should be kicked out of debates

[Godwynn]

More people know about Ron Paul now, thats for sure.

Of course their hacks, but the difference is they actually genuinely believe their own ********. Ferverently. Even if I offered Hannity a raise over what Murdoch was offering, he wouldn't become a hard line leftist for me, because his views aren't for sale. When you cross that line, you're not just a hack, you're a whore.

Well, technically we're all whores because we all sell our bodies and the labour produced by them for money...

Your entitled to your opinion, but it still opposes conventional wisdom. Show me a political analyst that is not paid and I'll show you an honest liar.

They're paid to say what they think.

Honestly, making such easily debunked arguments makes me think you're either being disingenuous or, well...

Wait a minute, are you saying that Armstrong is presenting an argument that he does'nt personally endorse? that he is being paid to say things he does not agree with? I'm not sure I follow you here.

What exactly did you debunk? The argument I am presenting is veridical brother, attacking the author or the credibility of the author constitutes ad hominem. Even if the author/speaker is "paid off" or a "hack," it doesn't follow that his argument is false.

Pundits get paid take money to speak yes. But they speak their minds, and speak their views. As much as I disagree with Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity, they at least have some integrity. I honestly believe that I could not get Hannity or O'Reilly to argue for something they honestly didn't believe for any amount of money. This guy took what is essentially a bribe, in order to put forth someone elses ideas.

The bulk of his argument is what you would expect from an intellectual whore, OMG teh democrats were pro-segregation! OMG Lincoln was a Republican! etc.

You are etitled to your opinions regarding O'Reilly and Hannity, it just seems odd that you did not mention the other "hacks" such as olbermann, Colmes and Chris Matthews.

Where is your evidence that "this guy" took bribes? How do you know for certain that Armstong is just aping somneone elses opinion? if you show me some proof I will agree with your allegation. Regardless, even if Armstrong is just rehashing someone elses opinion, it does not mean his argument is false.

So to summarize, you get your concepts of Geo-politics from either Civilization or Trotsky.

Niether, although I admire Trotsky's courage I do not share his political vision.
