Comments on: Ron Paul talks with Alan Colmes on secession, piracy, torture memos and more http://libertymaven.com/2009/04/22/ron-paul-talks-with-alan-colmes-on-secession-piracy-torture-memos-and-more/5410/ For Liberty, One Individual At A Time Sun, 12 Feb 2012 08:44:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Greg http://libertymaven.com/2009/04/22/ron-paul-talks-with-alan-colmes-on-secession-piracy-torture-memos-and-more/5410/comment-page-1/#comment-3694 Greg Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:20:26 +0000 http://libertymaven.com/?p=5410#comment-3694 I think it's weird how shallow -- or maybe it's just dumb -- Alan Colmes is. He shows an inability to hear a statement in the context of the particular argument. His arguments are one misinterpretation after another, and he no use for facts since his arguments are emotion-based and unsupported assertions.

It's not playing politics like most play politics these days (changing positions), but rather emphasizing the portions of his beliefs that will resonate with his audience the most. Enjoy. Thank you… you hit my exact meaning….

It's not playing politics in the same sense as you would say that a typical politician might play politics (misleading, avoiding a stance, dodging questions, tit-for-tat, etc), but in framing the conversation for certain audiences, you can appeal to their bias on a given issue and be more effective in communicating an entire framework of thinking. One thing I've seen him do often is leverage issues against each other to reveal inconsistencies. Framing the conversation is what Ron Paul does so well, and the rest of the libertarian world could learn a lot from him. Great observation and commentary in my opinion.
