NH GOP: include Paul, Fox News: exclude Paul
posted by acroso
Ron Paul has been exluded from the January 6th GOP debate in New Hampshire.
Please sign this petition to the RNC to get Ron Paul back into the debate. link
The DailyPaul recieved this response from the New Hampshire GOP regarding his exclusion from the Fox News Debate on January 6th. The Ron Paul forums were bombarding them with email so the first part of the email talks about that.
"They thanked me for my part in stopping the bombardment (which in my opinion they DID NOT DESERVE) and even noted that a few of you sent money to show your apologies were sincere. They appreciated that.
I defended you all by saying that you are faithful supporters of Dr. Paul's and correct to be indignant over this turn of events, but most want to deal with it by doing the right thing.
I can tell you that I know the NH GOP is in continual negotiations in support of Ron being included. The NH GOP has never done anything to oppose our campaign since the day it got underway on February 24th, 2007 and I have no reason to think they had any hand in this now.
I am sadly still seeing comments that suggest the NH GOP is the culprit here or has complete control over FOX. Please, stop perpetuating the myth that the NH GOP is responsible for, or complicit in this, either by their actions or inactions."

James Pindell also wrote a good online article about the exclusion where he quotes Ron Paul saying: "Fox News is scared of me"
"
PLAISTOW, N.H. -- Ron Paul said the decision to exclude him from a debate on Fox News Sunday the weekend before the New Hampshire Primary is proof that the network "is scared" of him.
"They are scared of me and don't want my message to get out, but it will," Paul said in an interview at a diner here. "They are propagandists for this war and I challenge them on the notion that they are conservative."
Paul's staff said they are beginning to plan a rally that will take place at the same time the 90-minute debate will air on television. It will be taped at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown.
"They will not win this skirmish," he promised.
The Fox debate occurs less than 24 hours after two back to back Republican and Democratic debates on the same campus sponsored by ABC News, WMUR-TV and the social networking website Facebook.
Paul, the Republican Texas Congressman, was wrapping up his final day of campaigning in New Hampshire until the Iowa Caucuses on Thursday.
He spent much of the day campaigning at diners in Manchester and Plaistow and downtown walks in Derry and Exeter."

The leftist blogs are starting to take the story too.
Thinkprogress has a blog up now. LINK.
O, and here it is up at the kos.

Benazir Bhutto claimed three senior allies of Pakistan's president General Musharraf were out to kill her in a secret email to Foreign Secretary David Miliband written weeks before her death.
Astonishingly, one of them is a leading intelligence officer who was officially responsible for protecting Miss Bhutto from an assassination.
The second is a prominent Pakistani figure, one of whose family members was allegedly murdered by a militant group run by Miss Bhutto's brother. The third is a well-known chief minister in Pakistan who is a long-standing opponent of Miss Bhutto.
Miss Bhutto told Mr Miliband she was convinced that the three were determined to assassinate her on her return to the country and pleaded with him to put pressure on the Pakistan government to stop them.
The disclosure is bound to lead to questions as to whether the Foreign Office did enough to safeguard Miss Bhutto.

This reminds me of a timeline essay. The ISI is the real government in Pakistan not the government.
[Washington Post, 2/23/02] Musharraf even brazenly stated, “Perhaps Daniel Pearl was over-intrusive. A mediaperson should be aware of the dangers of getting into dangerous areas. Unfortunately, he got over-involved.” [Hindu, 3/8/02] in “intelligence games.”
