Huh? Fox stages fake debate between Ron Paul, Obama impersonator

You�ve heard of a �staw man� argument, but this is ridiculous.

In a Fox Business broadcast, libertarian opinion host John Stossel hosted Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) in a fake debate with a pretty lousy Obama impersonator.

In his best, uh, what Wonkette called �squirrel voice,� the presidential impersonator delivered up thinly veiled talking points culled from Obama�s speeches, offering very little competition to the iconoclastic Texan and smiling as if he were �in� on the joke.

It almost defies description. Just watch.

This video was broadcast by Fox Business on Thursday, April 28, 2011, as snipped by liberal watchdog group Media Matters

6. Maybe Ron Paul thinks he was really debating Obama?

:shrug: Individual Achievement is very important for disabled thinkers like Ron Paul and John Stossel.

8. Maybe it would have looked better to FOX viewers

If Ron Paul had debated a card board statue of Obama. (or a hand puppet)I am sure they would claim it to be fair and balanced too!

The people at Fox News just make me shake my head, they are living in some fantasy world bubble, thats kinda sorta Parallel with some form of reality...obviously not ours.
