WaPo: Media Gatekeepers Must Marginalize Ron Paul

Says a typical warmongering, State-shilling WaPoite, who calls Ron a "nut":

"Wednesday night's debate proved that the country's news gatekeepers were right to begin with — best to ignore this chap. The media 'correction' is what now requires a correction. As The Washington Post's Charles Lane explained yesterday, Paul's ideas are loopy and baseless. The 'silver dime' moment, the air-conditioning-FEMA moment, the Sept. 11-guns moment — how close to the White House could a guy with these ideas ever get?"

Won't you be surprised? But at least David Sirota's  statement on why Ron is ignored is reproduced (to ridicule it, of course):

"Because Ron Paul doesn't fit the narrative. And we were talking about other narratives that are embedded in our media debate in this country, our political debate.

"Ron Paul is an antiwar, pro-drug legalization, pro-civil liberties Republican. That doesn't fit into not just Republican politics, it frankly, unfortunately, doesn't really fit into Democratic politics either. And so he's being sort of written out of the story because he can't be put through the prism, necessarily, of that red versus blue, summer-camp-color-war idea that dominates so much of our politics.

"It's really sad, because here is a guy who has had political success, who, by every other metric that any candidate would be judged by, would be included as a front-runner, or at least in the debate about who is going to win or could win the Republican nomination."

Ron Paul Widens His Lead

In the post-show MSNBC poll.

Is Bachmann Broke?

What's happened to her once ballyhooed ? She apparently feels she was over-managed, and the even hidden, by campaign operatives she has now dumped. In any event, call it a day, Michele. The money's gone. Go back to supporting your favorite foreign pols with US taxpayer money in DC, and the rest of your Christian war agenda. Until the MN voters can you, anyway.

Ron Paul's Secret Weapon

It's the silver dime he held up at the MSNBC show the other night, explaining that it would still buy a gallon of gasoline; gas hasn't gone up; the dollar has collapsed, thanks to the Fed. In fact, thanks to capitalism, the real price of gasoline has gone down. It used to cost a silver quarter a gallon before LBJ foisted the cupro-nickel baloney sandwich coins on us.
