Was Sarah Palin Snookered Into Endorsing a Stealth Anti-Israel Candidate?
David Horowitz's NewsRealblog ^ | David Swindle

Posted on 02/02/2010 3:19:28 PM PST by Michael van der Galien

Previously today NewsReal ran a Point/Counterpoint between Janet Levy and myself regarding Governor Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Rand Paul for Senate.

Janet expressed strong concerns regarding Paul’s foreign policy views and argued that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” in reference to Paul’s notorious congressman father.

I pointed out that while Janet’s concerns about Paul’s views were legitimate, it appeared as though he did not foster the anti-Israel impulses of his father.

Well, upon further research into the matter it looks like we have a reason why Rand at least looks different from his Pops.

From the great blogger Sultan Knish who unearths a Rand appearance on the radio show of the conspiracist lunatic Alex Jones:

“You’re basically what I would call a chip off the old block. Your policies are basically identical to your father, correct?”

“I’d say we’d be very very similar. We might present the message sometimes differently.. I think in some ways the message has to be broadened and made more appealing to the entire Republican electorate because you have to win a primary.”

In other words Rand Paul is basically a Paulastinian Alinskyite. He’s going to be much smarter than his Dad at hiding his true views so that he might stand a better chance at achieving positions of power to implement the policies he supports. It’s his way of utilizing the Alinsky tactic of boring from within.

This isn’t a Horowitz commentary.

You're right. It's a David Swindle commentary, who is writing an article in DAVID HOROWITZ' magazine.

The comment Mr. Swindle made about Rand Paul is disgraceful. I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend Dr. Paul today -- 'cuz there ain’t no doubt I respect this man. God bless the Pauls always!

Interesting you Paulbots are obsessed with pharmaceuticals. You’d have to be to quite loaded to find the Paul family freak show remotely suitable for office.

Maybe you need to go to the 14th Congressional district in TX & give the folks down there a good cursing for their own good. After all, THEY are the ones who have elected & re-elected him into office for several years. I’m sure you can set all of them straight.

Rand Paul compares himself to his dad.:

Notice that the quote unearthed by "the great blogger Sultan Knish" (lol) didn't see the light of day until after the Palin endorsement.

Beyond my criticism of the "blogger", I would also add that the Rand Paul quote is a red flag.

That said, at this point I've only seen conservative positions stated by Rand Paul.

He IS a constitutional conservative but he has to present his message in a sensible way to win over mainstream Republicans because like Palin said she doesn’t agree with EVERYTHING but probably 90%. Rand’s job is to emphasise that 90% which is smart politics in a primary
