Prepare for the quote-mining from the anti-Paul mouth foamers.
No doubt.
As to the interview itself, I think RP did himself some good. O'Reilly scored some points but so did RP. All in all, O'Reilly didn't go for some total hitjob on RP the way you'd see with Hannity. As interviews go on The Factor, this one was pretty fair.
You know, Ron Paul gets criticized for having appeared on certain shows, like Alex Jones. But Ron Paul pretty much goes anywhere he's invited, schedule permitting and first-come-first-served in his priority. And that includes Fox News. So I don't agree with a few people who are saying he shouldn't have appeared on Fox News. Like most things about RP, he's pretty consistent about obliging all interview requests.

As Dr. Paul has said, if he only went on shows that he agrees with, he'd have to avoid all the major networks. It's just that you know that when you go on O'Reilly's show he's going to approach it as a hit job rather than an attempt to educate his audience. You're just going to end up spending all your time on his show deflecting his BS instead of making the arguments you came to make.
