Ron Paul makes an ass out of himself on national TV watch!
youtube.com — This is an oldie but a goodie. Ronnie, then the Libertarian candidate for President of the United States, went on the Morton Downey Jr. Show and got his panties all in a bunch. His behavior was embarassingly juvenile and unbecoming of a man who aspires to be the President of the United States.

Did you watch the video before submitting it?
The caption @ 4:12 seems to indicate a bias against Morton Downey Jr.
but I didn't see any biased captions against Ron Paul to support your agenda.
Anyway - thanks again for promoting my favorite candidate.- jcm267, on 05/25/2008, -5/+4I watched the whole video before submitting it, Brad. It didn't backfire. Ron Paul looks like the fool that he is here.

- WhiskeyWrites, on 05/15/2008, -11/+17In contrast to Downey and the shrieking woman, he looked pretty tame there.
- jcm267, on 05/15/2008, -15/+18Why was he even there? Would you expect to see Obama or McCain appearing on the Jerry Springer Show? He's too stupid to have known that showing up for this show was a bad idea, but if he had any pride he would've either walked out or at least not have gotten all worked up like that.
- bamapachyderm, on 05/15/2008, -9/+11The same reason he goes on Alex Jones' nutter show (although Downey's show was very popular at the time, and far more mainstream) and knowingly accepts donations from white supremacists. He'll take what he can get from ANYONE. Just like he's taken all his gullible supporters' money for his little ego trip.

- KMye, on 05/15/2008, -3/+25I've only watched the first clip, and I hate to say it, but I actually completely agree with Paul on this issue, and everything he said in that first 10 minutes. His demeanor was not exactly becoming of a Presidential candidate, though it would be hard not not get a little crazy with the host being creepily aggressive like that. I agree with jcm's above comment about choosing to go and stay on the show, but definitely side with Paul and the guy on his right against Downey and that stupid ***** as far the issues go...
What weird show. - bohemianowl, on 05/15/2008, -13/+35this should be called: jcm makes an ass out of himself on digg.

- Herkimer56, on 05/15/2008, -13/+6Show me where I've lied, nutjob. Yes, I mocked you as the pathetic little worm that you are but the truth is on my side and I don't have to lie like you do.
- LadyKofNYC, on 05/15/2008, -1/+8You accused me of wishing all Jews die of cancer, you lying piece of subhuman garbage.

- oconnor11, on 05/15/2008, -7/+18I graduated high school in 1987 and one must understand the attitudes we had at that time. All those my age I'm sure remember things like the "Just Say No" club and the song "Hip to Be Square". There was a lot of anti-drug campaigning going on and most of us had never heard someone such as Dr. Paul try to re-educate people about personal freedoms. When Downey says a comment about it being ok to kill his young son, he is completely off track. Dr. Paul was talking about individual rights and freedoms that don't infringe upon the rights of others. And I'm surprised that he's there talking about "due process of the law" which is Constitutional and these people don't get it. They may never have read the Constitution themselves. I feel Downey's actions were for sensationlism and ratings. What I am most impressed with is that after 20 years, Ron Paul has fought for our Constitutional freedoms relentlessly.
- bamapachyderm, on 05/15/2008, -11/+4I'm about your age, and remember Just Say No well. The only people who actually OPPOSE abstaining from drugs are ***** idiots, then and now.
Go ahead, just try to argue that it's okay for kids to do drugs. I'm not talking about adults, I'm talking about KIDS - those at whom the anti-drug campaigns were directed.
After 20 years, Ron Paul has been a fringe idealist and absolutist with a complete disconnect from reality. - card51short, on 05/15/2008, -4/+6yes we NEED the government to prevent our kids from doing drugs.
- wishninja, on 05/22/2008, -1/+2No we do not. We need parents to stand up for their children.
- bamapachyderm, on 05/15/2008, -11/+4I'm about your age, and remember Just Say No well. The only people who actually OPPOSE abstaining from drugs are ***** idiots, then and now.
- onetimer, on 05/15/2008, -5/+14Actually Ron Paul's view on abolishing drug prohibition is one of the few positions I actually agree with him on. Though I think it's fair to say that the response he gave was not as mature and professional as it should have been. For all his negatives, he actually is usually pretty polite when it comes to making his points, so this does come as somewhat of a surprise to me.
- bosley34, on 05/15/2008, -10/+5Never thought I'd give a YouTube video with Ron Paul 5 stars.
- bamapachyderm, on 05/15/2008, -11/+5I loved that crazy show, with Mort smoking cigarettes and yelling at his guests. LOL. Good ol' Mort.
Love how RP said he "always voted Libertarian" and WAS a Libertarian then, but he switched because he's just another opportunist and knew the Libertardian Party is a losing proposition.
I *totally* disagree with legalizing all drugs, anyway - marijuana, yes; the other *****, no f'n way. RP's entire argument was based on ridiculously idealist theory, not at all on reality. - ssn697, on 05/15/2008, -9/+10Morton Downey jr. show. What a blast from the past. This is actually a fairly tame episode. He did a lot of "war on drugs" stuff that made absolutely no sense. The show was the height of garbage television. He didn't even do his trademark "blow cigarette smoke in the guest's face when he calls me out for smoking" bit...
Several times, Ron Paul calls out Sliwa for how she looks, calls her a Hells Angel at one point, but then is offended when he is "labeled"? Too funny, but typical.
The subject matter usually didn't matter much on Mort's show. This one actually held together longer than usual. It is mind boggling to me that Ron Paul would go on the Jerry Springer show of it's time. Nothing was EVER accomplished on that show. It was trash TV, period.
Good to see Ron Paul showing his lack of judgment has been a constant. This would be like Barack Obama going on Jerry Springer, to "debate" KKK guys.- card51short, on 05/15/2008, -5/+5"The subject matter usually didn't matter much on Mort's show.

Why is it mindblowing to you? Isn't Ron Paul starting a cult with the leftist and Al Qaeda recruits to shut down the Federal Reserve and destroy the economic harmony it has created for America in an attempt to fund his global plantations in which, due to the civil rights act no longer being in play, he will inhabit with black slaves and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!
Why does it surprise you that he would make this move? He's the worst person in the world who drinks the blood of small children, remember?
Conspiracy nut.
