The Five On Ron Paul’s Iowa Lead: ‘Crazy Uncle Is Driving The Car’

video
» 91 comments

With the Iowa caucuses a week away, The Five revisited the 2012 Republican presidential landscape to find what the polls were looking like in the week between Christmas and New Year’s. And it appears that, despite a rough week of racist newsletter coverage, Rep. Ron Paul is still on top. What did the panel compare this development to? Greg Gutfeld noted that, to some that had worked with the Congressman, it was as if “Crazy Uncle got too far.”

Gutfeld cited a “great blog post” by a former Rep. Paul staffer who had described the experience of working for the Congressman, and appeared somewhat surprised at the heights the Congressman had risen to as a presidential candidate. Dana Perino noted that this may be why many voters are asking themselves why they had not heard of the more extreme problematic issues with Rep. Paul as a frontrunner before, despite him running for president twice (once as a Republican and once as a Libertarian)– because the media didn’t bother to vet him as strongly as they had other candidates because no one anticipated his rise in the polls. Gutfeld joked that seeing Rep. Paul in the lead for Republicans must be like “crazy uncle is driving the car.”

As for Rep. Paul’s chances, the panel noted Mike Huckabee‘s comment over the weekend that the weather would be pivotal in whether Rep. Paul wins, because his supporters would be more willing to travel in bad weather than other candidates’. “Paul people will go through a snowstorm from Hell to get there,” Bob Beckel argued, adding that Huckabee was particularly informed about the workings of the Iowa caucuses (Kimberly Guilfoyle added her prediction that Huckabee would have won Iowa in 2012 just as he did in 2008 had he ran).

Amid this conversation, Beckel made an interesting observation: since when is no one talking about Newt Gingrich? Beckel also proposed (with some mild praise for Gingrich that did not go unnoticed by Eric Bolling) that the rise and fall of candidates appeared “almost systematic,” to the point that he believed Mitt Romney was behind the cycle.

    Ron Paul wasn’t vetted?  These media talking heads are clueless.

    He’s been blasted for these same things for the past 4 years in the media.   It’s ALL rehashes from before.

    Why didn’t he drop in the polls after being “vetted” over the newsletters?  Because most everyone already knows.

    Just goes to show how full the media is of themselves.    Apparently they believe if they didn’t tell you something, then you don’t know and it didn’t happen.

    When it comes to foreign policy, the so called “Crazy” things, are the reasons we support him.    Because you(the media) call things like voting against the loss of civil rights crazy.

    The media likes to throw out poll numbers.   Why don’t they throw out the ones where 70% of the population doesn’t trust the media.

    Maybe it’s time we vetted the media.

    Greg Gutfeld disgusts me. He has said in the past that he “agrees with just about everything Ron Paul says.”  But then he insists on insulting the man and playing bash Ron Paul to fit in with his four clueless friends. What a spineless weasel.  Ron Paul is a giant compared to such media wimps. 

  • Brewzer

    I bet you think he is a “Damn good Candidate” Bob! He would be a good candidate for Obama and the liberals to destroy, which I am sure you want.

    It is sick to hear Eric Bolling say in the same interview:

    “Ron Paul has boatloads of Baggage”

    and

    “It is about time someone said something positive about Newt”

    Anyone see the irony?

    NO ONE BUT RON PAUL 2012! End the Fed, End the Wars!!

    Greg Gutfeld used to be a Libertarian, but to make it up the Fox News corporate ladder he needed  to sell out to the Roger Ailes neocons. A few weeks ago when Gutfeld actually said Al Qaeda attacked us on 9/11 “because of who we are,” I nearly threw up my tiramisu.

    From political pundits, yes. They are part of the machine, they use divisive language to split the body politic into seperate factions. They stereotype entire groups of people and pander to their listeners. They are mouths for hire and their words often reflect those of the person who signs the check.

    There is no manner in which Ron Paul’s well documented past of racially insensitiv­e writings and publicatio­ns can simply be explained away or ignored. Every American that hears what Ron Paul believes in regard to race will be shocked and deeply offended. The Constituti­on does not protect racist lies or vicious hate speech. Ron Paul must apologize for his behavior and then drop out of the Republican race immediatel­y. He is an embarrassm­ent to his party.  www.sunstateactivist.org

    The story so far: apparently Ron Paul was scheduled to appear on the notorious radio show “The Political Cesspool,” a talk show in Tennessee connected to the white separatist Council of Conservative Citizens and the Holocaust denial group Institute for Historical Review.The announcement of Ron Paul’s appearance was posted on the blog of Political Cesspool co-founder Austin Farley: Congressman Ron Paul TONIGHT On The Cesspool.http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/39664_Ron_Paul_Was_Scheduled_to_Appear_on_a_White_Supremacist_Radio_Show_in_2006

    “The Five On Ron Paul’s Iowa Lead: ‘Crazy Uncle Is Driving The Car’”

    You know, I’ve noticed in the last few years that there really isn’t a difference between the Democrats and Republicans. They both try to grow the influence and power of government, they will use any excuse possible to go to war, they will run up the debt without apology or hesitation, they both continue to happily use Keynesian Economic(crony capitalism) to destroy our currency and fiscal standing, and they both continue to create and pass legislation that erodes away our liberty’s.

    Every once in a while a politician will say that what they’re doing is wrong and they will change the way things work. Then they go back to work and do the same thing over and over and over again.  When somebody does something continuously again and again while expecting different results, last I checked, is a sure sign of madness.  So… knowing the way our government continues to work, including the people who support it, is insane. Maybe the reality is Ron Paul, the only guy proposing to do things differently, is the only sane guy in the room and everybody else who wants to keep things status quo are the crazy uncles driving the car.

  • Pablo

    Because you said so, right? I don’t know about you, but I don’t say what I don’t believe, unless I’m being sarcastic. Pundits can always find an ideologically aligned outlet for their views, and you don’t often see anyone insisting that their ideology be adhered to outside of academia.

    It’s been reported on constantly.   Even in the major media.  CNN ran the story back in 2008.

    They always bring it up.   Heck, people bring it up comments all the time.   If someone didn’t know, it’s because they don’t follow politics at all, probably don’t vote, or would just be voting for whoever the media told them too anyway.

    Let me put it another way.   People don’t just up and support Ron Paul on a whim, and it’s doubtful they ever will considering the way the media treats him.   As such, the people who support him mostly knew already because we researched the guy, and anyone who was ever going to vote for him would likely have done the same.

    Outside that, I personally believe most people just use it as an excuse because they don’t like his policies, not because they believe he actually is a racist.  It’s painfully obvious to those who follow this stuff.

    Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of anthropology and sociology would have understood that making the news letters an issue, for a third time, was an insult to the voters. The issue had already been vetted. Besides, it ignores the basic human survival instinct toward suspicion of outsiders. Such political correctness hasn’t fixed racism, it has only driven it under ground, in the closet. Ron Paul is not a racist, but a great many average people, of all colors, still are, and the are resenting the high- handed was of these attacks. It is no wonder they are back firing.

    Not only do his core supporters have NO PROBLEM with the racist views in the newsletter, they apparently had no problem being duped out of their money.

    The Media is too stupid to focus on the right issue in regard to the Newsletter…ie catching Paul in his obvious attempts to obfuscate his role in writing the newsletter.

    I’m more concerned with what he ACTUALLY admits:

    Yes, he was the publisher. Yes, he signed the Newsletters. Yes, his subscribers believed they were buying his views if not his actual writings. And, yes, he made money off them.

    That’s textbook FRAUD.

    I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you are right. People were paying for something that they were led to believe was Ron Paul’s ideas, or at least ideas that Ron Paul endorsed. Having no bylines even shows intent. They were defrauded — in Ron Paul’s name.

    Those who are trying to defend Ron Paul by saying this is all old news are being wrong-headed. This story has legs, and it is revealing something important about Ron Paul’s character. People will want to know more, and barring some other big news story, we will be seeing more and more details of these newsletters.

    No, it’s not textbook fraud. It’s textbook the way things actually work in such a business.

    He said he puts it out, as in he publishes. He did. In no manner does he say that he writes it all, and all this stuff you say. He did contribute at times, mostly on economics(which is what he is usually promoting as well).

    This is a textbook case of you not liking Ron Paul’s policies, and looking for any dirt and way you can to assassinate the mans character, rather than debating on the issues.

    If I thought the man was a racist or would in any manner promote things that would treat people based on race, I wouldn’t vote for him, much less support him.

    It’s clear to me it’s not even close to being true. Some of the most true words on the problem of racism I’ve ever heard came from Ron Paul. He correctly sees and defines the ignorance of it. A racist is unable to make that connection and views people as being group based rather than individuals.

    I suppose all those people who buy political biographies that make no mention of the fact that they were ghost written are also victims of actionable fraud? 

    At the press conference introducing his ghostwritten
    post-presidential autobiography An American Life, Ronald Reagan
    quipped “I hear it’s terrific. Maybe someday I’ll read it.”  I don’t remember Reagan getting thrown in jail for fraud, in fact, the book sold pretty well.  Your argument for fraud is silly, since legal contracts regarding ghost writing are upheld in our code of law.     
    Should Paul be criticized for failing to properly exercise control over a publication that bore his name?  Yes.  Should he be smeared as a fraud and a racist for admittedly being neglectful about the publication of his newsletter?  No.

    This is an old story from 2008 and then like now it lacks any significant traction. Dr. Paul’s soaring numbers in the polls is evidence of that. Scam you say? Who got bilked? It didn’t effect his 11 successful bids to congress where he is the chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology. Your desparation is apparent, after you realized the racist thing was going nowhere you changed your tune and tryed the fraud angle. Tsk tsk tsk…clutching at straw. It’s not too late for you to embrace real change and throw off the shackels of false hope.

    Comments such as Huckabee’s imply that passion in a candidate’s followers is a bad thing — at least when the candidate is Ron Paul — because you’d have to be crazy to brave a blizzard to vote in a caucus (or something like that). When will the GOP leadership  wake up and realize, hey, we NEED these passionate people if we are to have any hope of beating Obama?

    USS, this is a case of media, NeoCons and Socialists wanting to make Ron Paul go away. They all know what will happen with Ron Paul in the White House. NEW GAME!!

    There is so much to lose for the crooks in Washington, Wall St. and Media, that they are going to fight Ron Paul right up until he stands up and places his hand on the bible in 2013.

    Stevil, you are correct about that. This attack is not about the racism, it’s about Ron Paul’s key issues that threaten the fortunes and corrupt factions in our national government and corporate oligarchy. It’s also about preventing any national discussion on our very corrupt relationship with Israel. The ruler elites are trying to maintain their obscurity in the public eye because they know what Ron Paul’s transparency means for their futures.

    we are buying his ideas of liberty.thats what he is selling thats why he has strong support.he wants to make the president’s pay the same as the avarge  tax payer does that sound like a man bent on gaining wealth or someone who believe in in the importance of his ideas..those kind of actions don’t seem to fit with him being fraudulent

    he criticized himself for not exerciseing control over what was being writin in his name i was glad to see him admit that but him  being such a unknown statesmen way back then i could understand how he could miss it.

    Because it’s not fraud  – It’s negligence, and while that’s not orthodox either, it’s certainly forgivable.

    It’s very simple: People who do not want to like Ron Paul, will accept the controversy as fact, and those who feel contrary will not.

    The newsletters are indefensible.  He should address it and admit his mistakes.  Until he does that, he’ll have to deal with the repeated smears.

    keep in mind the media is not a non profit enterprise; it is run by the same corporations whose lobbyists are backing the other candidates.
