NBC appears to be playing their part in getting under his skin early and trying to get him pissed off. He may not be the nominee, but it's not up to the press to decide that. :twocents:
If he wants to be the nominee he is going to have to learn get control of himself. :lol:

Whats he going to do when the tough questions start getting asked? :?

Not Presidential timber. :ohno:
Okay, we get it, Denso. You will continually bash all non-Clinton candidates, 24/7 for the next 18 months...

...now, save everyone having to listen to your blather and go masturbate until next November.

All she did was quote him. Hes already falling apart and the tough questions haven't even started yet. :coffee:
Negative. She stated what hid positions were. Go back and listen, Densedawg.

She's framing her question about his shift to orthodoxy by literally quoting him.

Go back and watch. :dunce:

So if I’m getting this right, Rand isn’t allowed to change his positions? Or is he only allowed to change them AFTER he is in the WH? (i.e. Obama on gay marriage) :? :lol:

And good of him to slap down that “journalist” when she tried to put words in his mouth. :nod:

:lol:

She worked at MSNBC and married a hardcore Donk operative. It was an agenda driven interview with an attempt at a gotcha. Just compare her interviews with Obama to her interview with Paul.

Rand Paul was mean to poor widdle Savannah. :cry:

Here comes the war on wimmin again. :lol:

If you're pro-choice, you have to be pro-choice through birth. Anything short of that is contradictory. Did I get that right Cleets? 8-)

Don't care about Rand Paul, he's not going anywhere. I was referring more to your love of being consistent in one's views.

I wonder if he still feels the same today?
In the interview, Paul went on to take aim at then-President George W. Bush, calling him “ridiculous” for saying “they hate us for our freedom.” Paul said Americans should try to understand “why they hate us” and what policies create terrorism.

RAND: Yeah, Bush likes to say ‘They hate us for our freedom, our big cars, and the First Amendment. And that’s just kind of ridiculous, you know, on the face of it. And if you don’t really understand why they hate us and why they come here, we can never make any policy. And I think what’s important out of that is then some Republicans try to say, ‘Oh, you just want to appease the terrorists.’ Well that’s not true. I mean, you have to recognize what policy creates terrorism. Because you can’t kill every Muslim in the world. There’s a billion Muslims. We have to learn to live together to a certain point. That doesn’t mean we don’t pay back and go after people who attack us. My dad did vote to go into Afghanistan. But we have to get away from this whole idea that we can create sort of our own Western-style democracies in other countries. You know, Michael Scheuer, the CIA expert on Al Qaeda, he says Karzai in Afghanistan will last only as long as our soldiers are there. Because they do not want Western hand-picked leaders. They want to pick their own leaders.

Speaking of getting panties in a bunch...what was wrong with what he did? :suspicious:

He had her go back and ask the questions one by one...instead of her trying to paint him as flipping on everything.

Not sure why people are bothered by the whole thing...she tried to make a point (instead of asking a serious question), and he redirected the conversation to answer each of her questions individually, so that he could explain each issue, rather than allowing her to reduce the conversation to labeling him as being wishy-washy.

This type of thing is what happens when so-called news organizations decide they will shape the news instead of actually reporting it. The media outlets know they are playing to a particular audience and want their product, in this case, the interview, to tell their audience what they want them to hear. There is zero interest on the part of the interview to actually discover anything news worthy...it is simply to create a persona crafted specifically for their audience.

houndpuppy and kalm are making this out as Rand being some intolerant politician, and that is silly, but it exemplifies that hp and kalm fall right into the target audience of this network.

She didn't directly quote him at all. She confronted him.
As I said, compare that interview with any one of her velvet gloved interviews with Obama.

Just like her husband, she is a Donk operative, except she's the one who sits in the chair as a "journalist". :nod:
