Comments on: They Report, They Decide? http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/01/02/they-report-they-decide/ Rory O'Connor's blog Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:48:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Jacky http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/01/02/they-report-they-decide/#comment-67725 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:09:52 +0000 http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/01/02/they-report-they-decide/#comment-67725 Interesting that you would write this after saying on Al Jazeera's Listening Post that a Ron Paul election would be a "farce." You said after insinuating he would use Swift-boat tactics to make the opposing candidate look like an "oaf," which he wouldn't. Ron Paul's the last candidate who would use ads like that. So what do you care, Rory?

So what do you care, Rory?

It certainly extends to Dennis K and Mike G, but for Paul, who's grassroots supporters raised record-breaking sums for his campaign, there is absolutely no excuse for them to ban America from hearing Dr. Paul's message. There's always a flip side to everything and in this instance, I see it as a waking up time for Americans, who've been slumbering away in front of their television sets for decades. Believing that television is giving them objective news, they've brainwashed themselves into a stupor and while asleep, the shadow government has crept in and taken over our government. I just pray that it's not too late to turn things around. Obama, who's looking like a frontrunner at this point, has several neo-con advisors-specifically, Dennis Ross and Susan Rice, and it appears he's not being upfront with his supporters or the American people about his true agenda. Ron Paul is the only guy I can think of that embodies "what you see is what you get." He's upfront about everything he believes in, no matter how popular or unpopular his views may be. This former liberal Dem is devoting full time to helping get Dr. Paul's message out. We're in desperate need of a doctor to do radical surgery on the out of control cancer in this country. Thanks for "listening." Thanks for writing about this despicable treatment of Ron Paul.

The thought of busting up these media conglomerates warms me to my toes. Perhaps we should resurrect that grand old law–the Sherman Anti-Trust Act?
