Why people like the Ron Paul YouTube videos


On December 5, I drew our readers' attention to a YouTube video that features congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul chewing out Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke during his testimony before Congress.

I was surprised by the amount of traffic it received and the passion that it inspired on the part of our readers -- 21 of you saw fit to leave comments.

Now the USA Today is taking a look at the Ron Paul videos: "Video clips of Paul -- who supports the gold standard and has sponsored a bill to abolish the Fed -- ripping into Bernanke at congressional hearings are getting hundreds of thousands of hits on the video-sharing website YouTube."

While the videos are not getting the views that polished campaign videos from top-tier candidates like Barack Obama, they're getting a ton of hits for clips of a second-tier candidate arguing with the Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
