Fox News Cuts Ron Paul Instead of Thompson from Debate: Paulites Furious


Given the passionate activism of Ron Paul supporters, Fox News is asking for a really big headache by cutting Paul from this Sunday's New Hampshire debate.

Bill O’Reilly, Shepard Smith, Neil Cavuto and Brit Hume are beginning to feel the cyber wrath of the Paulites.

Ron Paul is beating Tennessee's Fred Thompsontwice as much support in New Hampshire as does Fred Thompson.

in most polls. Ron Paul has
Since Ron Paul is consistently outpolling Freddie Thompson, it is obvious that Freddie is the one who should be cut.

Fox News is exceedingly nervous about Ron Paul's consideration of a third party run. In the view of Josh Marshall, "Paul's out because he's not a Fox News Bush-clone."

ABC News is going to make cuts too, but since they are not the "fair and balanced" station, their debate cuts will be based on the results of Thursday's Iowa caucus. Fortunately for Freddie, he's "not particularly interested in running for president" anyway.
