The Five: Why Would Ron Paul Fill His Ad With Only Liberal Supporters?
Today on The Five, the gang discussed Sarah Palin’s talk of possible third party candidates and focused on Ron Paul. After Eric Bolling joked that Paul’s fans may be “too stoned” to make it to the polls, the topic of conversation turned to a recent ad for Paul which featured a number of liberal commentators. The hosts questioned whether it would be effective or simply a turn off.
Sarah Palin To Donald Trump Critics On Fox: ‘Shut Up About It’
The ad, entitled “Believe,” will be airing in New Hampshire and Boston and features Ron Paul supporters talking up the candidate’s strengths and ideals. Amongst them are quotes and sound bites taken from different cable news shows featuring positive quotes from pundits. The issue, however, is that the pundits (Bill Press, Jonathan Alter, and Michael Eric Dyson) are predominantly left-leaning. “I thought I was watching an ad for the New York Times!” joked Greg Gutfeld.
Bolling, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Dana Perino questioned the strategy of putting liberals in an ad for a GOP presidential campaign. Bob Beckel, however, pointed out that, firstly, the pundits weren’t identified in the ad and, secondly, many of Paul’s fans are younger and more socially liberal. But, when asked point blank whether or not the ad would help, Beckel said no. “It’s about as helpful as Herman Cain’s smoking ad.”
