If you don't think this country is headed for a change this video might make you want to re-think that.
Ron Paul, a candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination, was excluded from Fox News' forum of Presidentials hopefuls which aired last night and was moderated by Chris Wallace. Allegedly Wallace's set was designed only to house 5 candidates and the moderator and Fox decided to allow Rudy Giulianni, whom Paul had defeated in Iowa by 3 points, to take up one of those precious five chairs.
Well, check out the video below and see how a crowd of Paul supporters react when they spot Sean Hannity walking along in New Hampshire.
They are a bit scary that's for sure; angry mobs tend to be. But I'm certainly not one to weep for Hannity. What's that saying? The enemy of my enemy is my friend Seems appropos somehow.
But seriously, Ron Paul has been the only candidate on either side to bring up the issue of Blowback and American militarism. Gravel and Kucinich talk about it on the Dems side but Paul has been a lot more vocal it seems.
Ron Paul has gone toe-to-toe with McCain and Giulianni on the concept of blowback in the debates and he has been eloquent in describing the perils of our American Empire.
What Fox did by excluding him last night was insure that their viewers would not have access to the one and only Republican candidate talking about non-interventionist foreign policy and de-militarizing our economy.
Plain and simple, liberal and conservative Americans are sick of this war and we don't want to continue sewing the seeds of future blowback. Fox News clearly doesn't want Americans to hear that viewpoint echoed in a candidate.
Perhaps we can ask Sean Hannity about potential blowback from Fox' decision. Well, we don't have to ask, just watch...
