Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Hetep and Respect DONALD TURNBULL, now that was funny, LoL. The people are catching on, you can't fool them for ever. I am clipping it to my column.

I am not a Republican but Ron Paul has money and votes and should be in the debate.

Though I dislike the fact that FoxNews has shown its bias and though I disagree with much of what Sean Hannity has to say anymore, behavior such as this might place the Paul campaign in a bad light.
On the other hand, I really can't blame them, people are sick and tired of news outlets pulling this kind of garbage.
I'm waiting to see how this gets spun from the Hannity camp; fortunately, it is on Youtube so he can't claim he was physically "assualted" or some other victim-type verbiage.

Thanks for the seed Donald, After seeing that I would rather vote for Hillary or Obama. This just proves to me how stupid people are. If more people supported Paul he would have been on FOX, but instead they decide to play victim and chase Hannity. Thanks again for helping me realize how far gone some of Pauls supporters are.

OK but does it make sense to chase Hannity no matter how"funny" people might think it is. To me it is @!$%#ing ridicules and proves what some of the people who support Paul resort too. Just my 2 cents. I agree he deserves to be in the debate but I am not in control of Fox and neither is Hannity so don't chase me now please:)

Disagreeing with a Ronulan is about as fruitful as engaging a member of the Christian Taliban on the topic of evolution. More and more they are reminding me of the slavering followers of Lyndon Larouche.

On the other hand, he should be in the debate if Rudy is. If they are excluding him after his showing in Iowa, then keeping Paul out at least has some justification.

Whatever helps you Ron Paul people sleep through the night man. I really don't care. I know it doesn't excite me about Ron Paul and I doubt it will make Hannity or Fox do anything for him in the future. Oh well it is not like I thought Paul had a chance anyway. But I do agree he did deserve a few minutes in the debate so now we can stop arguing right.

Ecch, while we're indulging in platitudes, there's that old chestnut "what goes around comes around". While that lunkhead Sean Hannity walks the earth, outside the safety of his studio, he should know it's not Hannity's America. It's still ours.

Sometimes platitudes are all we've got: I've not noticed a particularly high level of thinking from most of Paul's supporters. Complexity seems to elude them, although I will freely admit that they are far from alone in that respect.

When I first read the headline, I was like nah, you don't literally mean he got chased; but lol, he did.

And look at the end Shawn let a woman step in between him and the crowd to come to his defense as he walked on away without saying a word to them. I always knew he was a punk ass chicken hawk; but daaaamn!

And I always knew Ron Paul fans were kind of flakey; but now they're kind of scary!

He'll be on Leno or Letterman tonight; I forget which one.

Folks, please forgive me. I have not seen the video (I'm at "work" and have no sound card and they frown on streaming here...) but I'd like to ask the reasons given for Paul not be included in the Republican debates. It seems I saw Alan Keyes at a debate and I had no idea he was even running for president. I thought I had heard the reason Paul is not included in the debates is because he is not polling 10% nationally; that seems, in the words of you kids nowaday, "pretty whack". If somebody out here knows more about this issue, please toss this old man the lantern of your knowledge. On a related note, is Fox the only organizer and/or media outlet for the Republican party?

Someone just told me, Sean Hannity is talking about it right now on Fox. With the title, Sean Hannity attacked by Ron Paul supporters... So, now we call this attacking? So, paparazzi can be said to attack stars now? He was walking, not running. The supporters were just doing what they do to all the other candidates. Like when they show up at a Giuliani speech. Just voicing their protest. If, they did throw snowballs, then Sean is being a puss. I mean come on, snowballs?

On one hand I think that Paul should be in the debates - he is a recognizable candidate and it's a good thing for people to see just how crazy he is.

On the other hand, I have believed since near the beginning that the not-a-chance-in-hell candidates were distracting people from getting better acquainted with candidates who may actually win the nomination. I'd rather hear two minutes of a position from Mitt Romney than 30 seconds each from Paul, Keyes, Tancredo etc.

This goes for Dems too. We should have been focusing more on Obama, Clinton and Edwards and less on Kucinich, Gravel, Dodd.

Excluding Paul may upset some of his brainwashed fanatics but it does the potential voters a service by not wasting their time on phantom candidates.

Even if Paul doesn't win, he can keep the other stooges in check. As the one candidate that speak the truth, and the only one who is economically conservative - he represents an ideal that the other candidates wouldn't have a chance in hell of standing up against, if he spoke like Obama.

I don't need Fox News to do my thinking for me. I know that's hard for neoconservatives such as yourself to understand.
