Ron Paul Followers Using Internet to Protest Absence at Sunday Fox News Debate

The outrage by a number of Ron Paul backers over his being left out of a Fox News debate is justified in my opinion, as his showing in Iowa definitely has earned him a place at the table.

When looking at the results on the Republican side for the Iowa debate, you see Rudy Giuliani, who was only able to muster 3.5 percent of the vote being asked to the debate by Fox, as well as Fred Thompson who only received 2 percent of the vote, yet will be included in the Sunday debate at Fox (NWS-A) also.

For Ron Paul, he received 10 percent of the vote in Iowa, while finishing fifth among the Republican contenders.

That has Paul supporters up in arms, and they've done a couple things on the Internet in hopes of changing the decision of Fox.

First, they poured comments onto the Fox News Web page, with hundreds of comments telling them what they thought about the exclusion of their candidate.

Second, they created a "Protest Fox" Web site which says: "We need to send a message to Fox's Rupert Murdoch & his fellow Neocon buddies that he is not Musharraf and the US is not Pakistan, yet! Fox News cannot just stifle public opinion. debate and impact a primary election by excluding Ron Paul just because they don't like his message of freedom and liberty."

Paul says he thinks the exclusion is because of his opposition to the war in Iraq, which is strongly supported by the majority of Fox News hosts. He called the channel "propagandist" concerning the war, with views that aren't consistent with traditional conservative foundations.

So far Fox hasn't released any information on why they're excluding Paul from the proceedings at Saint Anselm College in Machester, N. H.

and why should they? If Ron Paul doesn't like how Fox News is using its private property he can get his own TV network. What part of private property rights don't RP supporters get?
