On this weekend's broadcast of The McLaughlin Group, regular liberal panelist Eleanor Clift accused Senator Rand Paul of trying to "stir a revolt against the U.S. government."
ELEANOR CLIFT: I'm with John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who basically said this was over the top and creating a sense that the government is really just waiting for this opportunity to drop a drone on you. But, I'll grant you the point. The ACLU put out a statement siding with Rand Paul and this is where the left and the right do meet.

I pointed this out to someone in a private message, but the real thing that kills the Dems over this is not that president’s policy (or plans) of using drones to strike Americans on American soil has been exposed (because it doesn’t exist), but that the president’s policy of telling the Republicans to F-off, every time, when questioned by Congress was exposed.
What Rand really showed was the degree of hatred and contempt that the president and holder (and probably everyone else there) has toward the Republicans. A contempt that is so strong that they are unable to dignify an easy question that is irking millions of Americans, with an obvious answer. They just couldn’t do it - and that was too much for Rand and GREAT for him.
Clift: “The Tea Party is Revolting!”
McCain: “They stink on ice!”
I predict it will be MUCH later then. She does speak of literally tens of millions of socialists worldwide.
“Who cares what this skell says.”
She’s representative of what’s in charge now.
Her words are like hot coals.
IMHO
When government becomes the problem instead of offering solutions, it is time for rebellion. Revolt is way overdue!
