Rand Paul lures them in with his position on pot and, now, what he pretends is his position pnwmom Jun 2013 #65

I know what Rand Paul is Andy823 Jun 2013 #24

I do not agree with Rand Paul on much AverageMe Jun 2013 #45

I am not with him even on issues where he agrees with me AgingAmerican Jun 2013 #61

I actually agree with you DonCoquixote Jun 2013 #74

good analogy Blue_Roses Jun 2013 #112

You do know that the only reason why he's taking issue is because he absolutely HATES government Liberal_Stalwart71 Jun 2013 #102

No he isn't a lberal, if he agrees with me on an issue, Progressive dog Jun 2013 #154

And sure, that's fine. But there are too many people who because Paul may be right on one or two Liberal_Stalwart71 Jun 2013 #160

No one asked you to put up your hand, now. MADem Jun 2013 #25

Oh, no, I've been outed! Hissyspit Jun 2013 #34

You're outing yourself--when no one put you in the "pile" in the first place. MADem Jun 2013 #35

I'm not. Hissyspit Jun 2013 #37

Methinks thou doth protest too much...! MADem Jun 2013 #39

You have also summed up the "stop calling me a racist1!" angle too Number23 Jun 2013 #46

False implications of racism can also be construed as racist AgingAmerican Jun 2013 #67

So can being a racist. Number23 Jun 2013 #70

Then we are in agreement AgingAmerican Jun 2013 #72

You think there were accusations made and that they were false Number23 Jun 2013 #80

I did not say "Accusations" AgingAmerican Jun 2013 #85

Exactly. Too many people basically shone the light on their true feelings. None of those OPs Liberal_Stalwart71 Jun 2013 #103

Absolutely. There's no disinfectant like sunlight. All that screaming and scurrying just showed me Number23 Jun 2013 #111

Do you think that every damn thread is directed at you? Yavin4 Jun 2013 #29

When you make broad sweeping statement, yes. Hissyspit Jun 2013 #33

Rand Paul Followers Yavin4 Jun 2013 #52

Who do you think are Rand Paul followers here? Hissyspit Jun 2013 #57

Apparently if you do not like the NSA activities AgingAmerican Jun 2013 #78

Um. Where the fuck did I say anything about the NSA in my OP? Yavin4 Jun 2013 #108

I wasn't addressing your OP AgingAmerican Jun 2013 #123

Awfully defensive Yavin4 Jun 2013 #96

As have the apologist, Unfortunately.. NT bahrbearian Jun 2013 #19

Yup, we thought it'd be fun to come on over Bradical79 Jun 2013 #136

Ed Schultz and Al Franken are members of the Dick Cheney Fan Club? MADem Jun 2013 #138

Paulians ... MindMover Jun 2013 #146

Oh, that is good. Thanks. Here's an elaboration on that, worth the read, I think: freshwest Jun 2013 #147

Brilliant! That, and pot smoking for Republicans...! nt MADem Jun 2013 #149

riddled with them since the Ron Paulite Snowden story. Whisp Jun 2013 #158

And Snowden thought he was doing something to make Paul proud NightWatcher Jun 2013 #2

Sad isn't it Andy823 Jun 2013 #4

I am not so convinced that all of them are gullible. There are two rather incessant Obama bluestate10 Jun 2013 #50

Only two? Kolesar Jun 2013 #60

There was a word for that in the 80's thelordofhell Jun 2013 #98

And, then his buddy Rand Paul gets on the US national tv and gives Cha Jun 2013 #17

I said from the Git-Go that the leaking little fart should have gone to Rand in the FIRST place. MADem Jun 2013 #28

I guess his libertarian buddy Glenn Greenwald had a better Cha Jun 2013 #44

Yes, he who votes to rescind civil rights, is being repressed! freshwest Jun 2013 #69

You're welcome, fresh! Cha Jun 2013 #79

I agree that his choices of icons and imagery are nothing short of dunce-a-licious. MADem Jun 2013 #114

Yes, one does wonder what's going on in that Cha Jun 2013 #122

The idiots cannot see that the Libertarians are playing them for fools. Ikonoklast Jun 2013 #157

Willing fools.. Cha Jun 2013 #169

Maybe he did go to Rand first Andy823 Jun 2013 #100

He didn't. Rand wouldn't have blown that off. MADem Jun 2013 #106

Could be Andy823 Jun 2013 #113

The documentary filmmaker is the glue that holds all together--WAPO, Snowden, and GG. nt MADem Jun 2013 #134

... Blue_Roses Jun 2013 #128

wonder how much of this is Blue_Roses Jun 2013 #124

Really. Link to that "thought" that Snowden had... or did you just make it up. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #51

But Snowden supported Ron/Rand Paul. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jun 2013 #104

So many here are hoping for the same thing... SidDithers Jun 2013 #131

Recs, recs, recs...and threads, threads, and more threads... Liberal_Stalwart71 Jun 2013 #162

Uh oh Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #5

Great I love the descriptions Thinkingabout Jun 2013 #23

That's funny! JustAnotherGen Jun 2013 #26

This is hilarious and spot on! BumRushDaShow Jun 2013 #27

Jesus--that's a work of art! MADem Jun 2013 #36

Sweet Lord, "petulant" and "arrogant" should be the poster children for this forum! Number23 Jun 2013 #43

Hilarious. Bobbie Jo Jun 2013 #71

Perfect. Very good. mountain grammy Jun 2013 #75

I love the cartoon cpwm17 Jun 2013 #81

You missed the great Paul outings in 2012 and the Rand Paul love fest for the last few months. freshwest Jun 2013 #107

They have the exact same viewpoint and that's why I refer to them interchangeably: Ron/Rand Paul! Liberal_Stalwart71 Jun 2013 #165

This quakerboy Jun 2013 #148

Can't wait to post this on a couple other forums AgingAmerican Jun 2013 #88

Spot on.... paleotn Jun 2013 #89

Greatness... Flying Dream Blues Jun 2013 #99

That's awesome... SidDithers Jun 2013 #130

Don't forget that you are part of the tea party now Harmony Blue Jun 2013 #16

It is not a laughing matter to be a liberal Harmony Blue Jun 2013 #32

I didn't call you anything. Yavin4 Jun 2013 #31

The entire scope of the "STOP CALLING ME A RACIST!!1" posts have been beautifully illustrated Number23 Jun 2013 #40

I'm not saying don't do it at all. I'm saying do it because I don't give a shit what you call me. liberal_at_heart Jun 2013 #48

Why do you think anyone is calling YOU anything? Or talking to you? Or thinking about you at all? Number23 Jun 2013 #54

then you are in the wrong place Blue_Roses Jun 2013 #137

Except that that is not what at least two posts said. Hissyspit Jun 2013 #55

The posts I saw were very specific. And people still whelped and squealed. Number23 Jun 2013 #59

If that many people took offense, Hissyspit Jun 2013 #64

People chose to take offense. Maybe it was because they knew the post was directed at them Number23 Jun 2013 #68

So who ARE you calling out by posting this? Union Scribe Jun 2013 #125

Now, now, don't take away their fun... sibelian Jun 2013 #156

I doubt that there are many Rand Paul followers on DU - they usually get zapped by MIRT within a Douglas Carpenter Jun 2013 #22

Then you've missed threads with long term members, saying they'll vote for Rand in 2016. freshwest Jun 2013 #115

no Ihave not seen any such threads. Still I'll take your word for it that there might be a few. Douglas Carpenter Jun 2013 #121

True, but MIRT has no power over long termers as you know. And while depressing the 2014 vote now freshwest Jun 2013 #132

that policy might change soon. Lots of Paulites here and even EarlG is on their side. Whisp Jun 2013 #166

I don't believe that. I have known any number of Paulites in real life and I know how they think. I Douglas Carpenter Jun 2013 #170

Sounds like "if you're not with us, you're against us" (nt) nessa Jun 2013 #53

apparently if your view on a subject ever aligns with those on the other side then you are with the liberal_at_heart Jun 2013 #56

Good point. I guess it's ok to support George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John McCain, and John Boehner nessa Jun 2013 #66
