Smear Job

If you would like to contact Joel Stein: thejoelstein@yahoo.com or jstein@latimescolumnists.com

If you would like to contact Tucker Carlson: tucker@msnbc.com

I have to say though, keep it civil. Don't give them any ammo to use against us.

All Ron Paul supporters should be taking this personal.
This is a slam to all of us.
I for one am not a fan of slander, and this is what it is.

All of you out there should be writing these two, and their bosses for allowing such rudeness and personal attacks to be made on American voters.; November 3, 2007 at 9:03 PM

Mr. Carlson,

I thought you were a "friend" in the media we could count on. After watching your msnbc interview with Joel Stein I guess I'm mistaken.

You had a great opportunity to clarify why Mr. Stein decided to trivialize all Ron Paul supporters as "nerds" in his Time hit piece when he obviously has a much more diverse following than just nerdy high school and college kids.

Several times Stein used the word "nerd" and "crazy" during your interview, needless to say I was a little disappointed. I would have loved to see you interview him and ask him some real questions regarding his article rather than play stupid like you don't know who Ron Paul's supporters are or why we are interested in him. You're a smarter reporter than that.

Being a Ron Paul supporter myself has given me the opportunity to meet many other Ron Paul supporters. One thing I'm amazed by from attending some of Ron Paul's rallies and other supporter planned events are the shear diversity of people that show up. There are libertarians, classical conservatives, and liberals. There are Christians, Muslims, and atheists. There are young and old. There are families and singles. Real reporting would be examining how diverse Ron Paul's following is or at least questioning Stein about his determination that we are merely a bunch of nerdy high schoolers.

Respectfully,
