lol. These are the kind of attacks Paul can expect if he runs.

This is the only thing consoling me...

So Rand Paul is a faux-libertarian in order to gain the support of the ever-essential constitutionally ineligible to vote 15-year old demographic.

[DrScholl]

For once, she's correct about something.

Do we realize that 95% of the things Ann Coulter says are irrelevant?

When I was fifteen and reading Ayn Rand, I worked on one of the most important congressional races in the country as an unofficial (and unpaid ) member of one of the most talented staffs assembled for the 2012 cycle. What a f[inks]ing b[inks]ch.

Which positions does Paul hold that were supporting by Rand but not Coulter herself? Rand was pretty hawkish, which is why she hated libertarians and denounced them as "the hippies of the right."

[Mr. Illini]

She's dumb.

[H. Ross Peron]

Randroids are just as fanatically hawkish and intolerant of Islam as Coulter.

This isn't true.

Ann Coulter should stick to talking about how soccer is ruining the moral fabric of America, or how Hispanics can’t be “real” Americans. I don’t know why she is taken seriously be certain circles on the right.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Interesting enough, I was 15 when I first read Ayn Rand lol

How surprising.

Rand Paul is a libertarian when it comes to Big Business and the role of government (except on the enforcement of the will of economic elites) and an authoritarian on all else. Coulter is right this time, if perhaps for the wrong reasons. If he is the GOP nominee he will have some major contradictions that defeat him.

In view of the media that we have, politicians are finding that saying opposite things to different audiences increasingly difficult to get away with.

This. Rand Paul is basically W and not W at the same time. They all are. For different reasons.

Love it.

Yep, Rand only cares about Big Business and the economic elites. That's why he's attacked the Chamber of Commerce and wants to abolish the Export-Import Bank and audit the Fed.

Not to mention his authoritarian stands like pushing for sentencing reform and felon enfranchisement while opposing wars and dronings.
