Unhappy With Rand Paul, Libertarians Consider Running Candidate In Kentucky Senate Race
Post Date: 2010-05-26 12:35:48 by Brian S
2 Comments
FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Libertarian Party is considering running a candidate in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race, saying GOP nominee Rand Paul — the son of a former Libertarian presidential candidate — has betrayed the party’s values. Party Vice Chairman Joshua Koch said Wednesday that Paul has been a black eye for Libertarians because of stands he’s taken on issues, including his criticism of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Koch said Paul is not a Libertarian. He called Paul and his Democratic opponent, Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway, “faces of the same bad coin.” Rand Paul’s father was the Libertarian presidential candidate in 1988. He is ...
Does Rand Paul Believe Private Employers Have the Right to Refuse to Hire Jews, Gays and Lesbians, or Women? [Full Thread]
Post Date: 2010-05-26 12:14:44 by Brian S

The recent Rand Paul coverage has focused on his rather startling suggestion that private businesses ought to have the right to deny service to customers because of their race. That was certainly an important part of the Civil Rights Act and an important issue for the civil rights movement, and it’s surprising to find a likely U.S. senator in 2010 who questions what everyone thought was a settled matter. Paul has claimed he would have marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. if he had the opportunity, but one of the central things King marched for was an end to this kind of discrimination. In fact, King was arrested and sentenced to four months in jail after a sit in at an Atlanta ...

The North Carolina Republican Party is going after Tea Party congressional candidate Tim D'Annunzio because he is a druggie, deadbeat dad who once found the Ark of the Covenant (in Arizona). And he is ahead in polls. The GOP has been steadily courting Tea Party candidates across the country because when you have smug assholes like Eric Cantor as the face of your party, well, you have an image problem. These days they're looking to tap into all of the populist rage that is sweeping across the Heartland by kissing the asses of complete nutjobs. So why is the North Carolina Republican Party attacking Tea Party candidate Tim D'Annunzio? Because he likes to party. And he's ...
Obama Gets Applause at West Point, Fox Erases It?

President Obama addressed the graduates at West Point Academy on Saturday, saying, "Adversaries want to divide us, but we are united by our support for you - soldiers who send a clear message that this country is both the land of the free and the home of the brave." His comments about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the threats of terrorism received applause from the graduates, but Fox News apparently didn't like it! Filmmaker Michael Moore posted the Fox video on Twitter, which features what seems to be an edited pause, making it look like Obama was met with silence when he said the country is poised to end the war in Iraq this summer. However, Michael Moore isn't ...
Tea Party Leader Mark Williams Rips Scott Stringer As 'Jewish Uncle Tom' For Supporting WTC Mosque

Tea Party Express leader Mark Williams has offered up more insulting rants regarding the proposed mosque at Ground Zero, this time targeting Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer. A Tea Party flamethrower blasted Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer Monday as a "Jewish Uncle Tom" for supporting a proposed mosque near Ground Zero. Mark Williams, chairman of the Tea Party Express, took to his blog to spew hate at Stringer after the politician compared him to Adolf Hitler at a press conference last week. Williams countered that Stringer is a "sniviling [sic] worm" and "a Jewish Uncle Tom who would have turned rat on Anne Frank." Stringer vowed not ...

During his fight to win Sen. Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts, Scott Brown was hailed as the Tea Party candidate. Now the newly elected junior senator is under fire from the very groups that are credited with his victory.Members of the Tea Party are infuriated that Brown has helped Democrats pass several key pieces of legislation. In February, he voted with the majority party to pass an important jobs bill. And just last week, Brown's vote gave Democrats the edge to break a filibuster on financial reform legislation.The executive director of the media arm of the Tea Party Patriots is livid.

(05-24) 17:01 PDT ATLANTA (AP) -- A North Georgia teacher is on administrative leave and could lose her job after she allowed four students to don mock Ku Klux Klan outfits for a final project in a high school class Thursday, administrators said. The sight of people in Klan-like outfits upset some black students at the school and led at least one parent to complain. Catherine Ariemma, who teaches the advanced placement course combining U.S. history with film education, could face punishment ranging from suspension to termination, Lumpkin County School Superintendent Dewey Moye said Monday. Ariemma has spent nearly six years teaching in the rural county about 75 miles north of Atlanta. ...

Haley have begun to be leaked slowly, piece by piece, to members of the mainstream media. I am told that at least one story based upon this information will be published this week."

Republican Chairman Steele Criticizes and Defends Paul on Civil Rights

May 24 (Bloomberg) -- Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele criticized Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul’s views on anti-discrimination laws, yet said he expects Paul to join Republicans in fighting for civil rights. Paul is facing a controversy because he questioned part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While Paul said racism and discrimination are abhorrent, he said he would have tried to change the provision that deals with private businesses. “His philosophy is misplaced in these times,” Steele said yesterday on “Fox News Sunday.” Earlier, on ABC’s “This Week,” Steele said he “wasn’t comfortable” with Paul’s ...

Breathless speculation in the aftermath of a recent explosion that tore the South Korean warship Keonan in half posited the massive blast may have come from a North Korean “human torpedo” crew, an “elite squad of naval kamikazes”, as Wired Magazine put it. The existence of the alleged suicide squad is disputed, but there’s a real “human torpedo” running for one of Kentucky’s two Senate seats in the 2010 election: Rand Paul. In a July 23, 2009 appearance on the right-libertarian, conspiracy theory oriented Alex Jones Show, Jones told Senate candidate Rand Paul, it’s so important to just launch more torpedoes at the enemy and I see you as a very ...

Is Rand Paul Being Thrown Under The Right-Wing Blogosphere Bus?

For the third day in a row, it's mostly crickets within the far-right reaches of the blogosphere as the Tea Party's favorite Kentucky Republican, Rand Paul, continues to struggle with growing controversies over his public, post-primary comments about the 1964 Civil Right Acts, as well as the BP oil spill disaster. The consensus, at least within the Beltway press and among election pro's from both parties, is that Paul is having an awful week making a series of very public --and unforced-- errors. And perhaps that's to be expected as the Tea Party movement backs political rookies in more and more races. What is not expected though, is the stunning lack of support Paul has ...

Here's one thing that can, plainly, be said about the controversy over Rand Paul and the Civil Rights Act: this is exactly what Democrats hoped would happen.The Democratic campaign and message apparatus has been banking, for months, on the rightward tilt of the Tea Party to damage the Republican Party in November's midterm elections. They put out a strategy memo to this effect in January.The idea is, basically: Tea Partiers are crazy, right-wing extremists. If the Republican Party elects them to run in November, the Republican Party will lose. Democrats have been saying this for months.Paul's statements about the Civil Rights Act, brought up last night by Rachel Maddow and ...

Meet the Tea Party's new hero, Rand Paul - a never-elected ophthalmologist from the land of bluegrass who is more red state than Sarah Palin's lipstick. How conservative is he? The 47-year-old Paul - who trounced establishment candidate Trey Grayson in Kentucky's GOP Senate primary Tuesday - wants to abolish the federal departments of education, commerce and energy, as well as the income tax. Like Palin, with whom Paul now stands atop the Tea Party cake, he is opposed to all government bailouts and earmarks, and President Obama's "socialist" health care law. He favors a constitutional amendment banning abortion, even in cases of rape and incest. But in a ...

If you want to know how Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) was driven from office, look beyond the Democratic primary he lost Tuesday. Instead, consider the role played by a small conservative group called the Club for Growth. Specter bolted from the GOP last year to avoid an intraparty challenge from the group's former president, Pat Toomey, who secured the Republican nomination Tuesday and will face Democrat Joe Sestak in November. The group also helped organize the GOP uprising in Utah earlier this month that toppled three-term Sen. Robert F. Bennett (R), and was part of a conservative coalition that forced Florida Gov. Charlie Crist out of the GOP as well. The organization, which is based ...

What do you think Tom Foley is up to these days? You know, the former speaker of the House of Representatives. What about Dennis Hastert? Don't know? Don't care? Although the job is an important one -- indeed, the only specific member of the House with a constitutionally-designated special position -- it's still an ignominious fate that waits for most speakers. After all, although speakers might imagine themselves as national politicians, and counterweights to the president, they're only ever elected by one district. And, of course, the speaker is also elected by the House, which is a pretty consistently unpopular institution. No wonder Foley and Hastert faded away. ...

The backlash against Rima Fakih, whose Lebanese heritage includes Christian and Muslim family, quickly hit certain fringes of the conservative blogosphere.

Sarah Palin's Political Bandwagon Is Wobbling Under The Weight Of Contradictions

We are seeing the first signs of wobble on the Sarah Palin bandwagon. This may seem a strange thing to say about a political superstar who has earned at least $12 million in the past 18 months from a publishing advance, personal appearance fees and a television punditry contract, not to forget a reality show about life in Alaska. Palin is such a boon to the struggling book world that her second opus, America by Heart - Reflection on Family, Faith and Flag, can already be ordered in advance even though publication is six months away. A return to the number one spot on the best seller list surely awaits. But other indices are proving less kind to the former Alaska governor. According to a ...
