Iowa held a tax forum in which the Republican candidates for President were invited to speak, they left Ron Paul off the guest list however, because they were afraid of what he would say. Paul decided to hold a little speech of his own right next to the Iowa tax forum. Ron Paul’s speech drew more people then the entire Iowa Tax Forum, that shunned him.
Downplayed! … Ron Paul’s Tax Rally Outdraws Iowa Tax Forum …

Two reports – from the Des Moines Register and Iowapolitics.com – put Ron Paul’s rally numbers around 600-800. But eyewitness attending the rally put the numbers at 1000-1200, or 200-600 more than the formal GOP forum.
Ron Paul’s campaign, in a press release posted at www.RonPaul.com on July 1, put the number at 1,000.
Ron Paul’s Statement After Speech
These latter numbers are seemingly confirmed by eyewitnesses and attendees of the rally. According to these reports, the Ron Paul rally had 1,000 seats to fill, and all of them were filled – plus other onlookers were standing on the sidelines, up to 200 of them. The numbers thus begin to tell the tale of a rally that outdrew the “official rally” by either 200 attendees at the low end, or actually doubled the turnout of the official forum at the high end. Additionally, the Ron Paul affair was reportedly “raucous” and high energy compared to the lower-key official forum
6 Presidential candidates spoke including Mitt Romney, yet more people showed up for Paul, it just goes to show how the mainstream media is lying about Paul’s popularity.

Official count was 1,000 – 1,200 and the AP story about party crashing was MISLEADING.
Anyone who prints nonsense from AP is not credible.
If Jim Guest was correct about the FCC suppressing the media, then that is a scandal of major proportions.

The controlled media doesn’t want Ron Paul to get any visibility or credibility. Once the American people start hearing what he has to say, they’re going to love him because he’s honest, and truly concerned about this nation’s future.
Especially if you’re an anti-war candidate, you’re going to be denied because it doesn’t serve the interest of those with big money that own the media, the banks, the defense and oil corporations.
It’s very simple, keep the wraps on true candidates like Paul, and provide attention to vassals such as Guliani (Mr. 0 foreign policy IQ), Thompson, (am I an actor or politician) and others that merely obey marching orders when the oligarchy speaks.
To understand this problem, check out who owns the newspapers, networks, TV, cable, radio, programming, entertainment, publishing, and most media related business. Once you’ve done that, it’ll become clearer why Paul is not a media darling. He’s rejected their payola and won’t be bought.
