I thought the article was an interesting take on the Rand phenomenon. I had no idea that Rand was above criticism here, nor did I imagine posting an article critical of her would lead to personal insults and so forth.
I have lurked this site recently, and my conservative friends have told me it is fun to post something here occasionally, so I thought I’d try it. I must say that so far, the fun seems a bit muted.
Since I have no desire to stir up rancor on this forum, I guess it’s back to lurking for me. Apologies to all for the controversy.
Leftists Using Ayn Rand to Smear Republicans, Conservatives
Don't let the name "American Values Network" hoodwink you. This organization is run by a bunch of dhimmicratic leftists like Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. Recently they put together a video that contains a small segment of Mike Wallace's interview with Ayn Rand. The segment showcases Ayn Rand's hatred for religion, God and Christianity. Then the video features a photo of Rush Limbaugh and quotes him as saying that Ayn Rand was "brilliant". Completely removed from the context of course. What the AVN makers of this video did was to feature a brief segment of Rand bashing God--and then--a photo of Rush Limbaugh quoted as saying "brilliant".
As if to imply that Limbaugh believes Ayn Rand to be brilliant because of her rejection of God.
If you can't win an argument with facts, then distort the facts. The method used most vigorously by the leftist/islamist alliance in America.
There is also a brief spot of Rand Paul likewise giving praise to Ayn Rand.
Just because Limbaugh, and other conservatives, may agree with some take of Ayn Rand on fiscal matters pertaining to free-market capitalism, that does not equate with an endorsement of her rejection of God and hatred for Christianity.
Unbelievably, that is exactly the smear this video wants to imply.
You have as much right to post as anyone and FR without a little rancor just wouldn't be fun anymore.
