personally I don’t care one way or another.. I do agree with Newt on the reason NBC wanted no audience reaction but I have seen many debates where the moderators asked for no applause until the end and have never seen a candidate use the freedom of speech excuse for slamming the moderator’s wishes..nobody in here can tell me they weren’t tired of Ron Paul’s people cheering every sentence he spoke in 2008.. it was obnoxious and took away from the debate.. I dare say we look back at the remarks on FR about Ron Paul’s people back then and you won’t see one post about stop the bitching it’s his supporter’s free speech
—nobody in here can tell me they weren’t tired of Ron Paul’s people cheering every sentence he spoke in 2008.—
So the tactic backfired.
