3 Awesome/Interesting Segments on Hardball today about Rand (2/10/2014)

[WD-NY]

1st segment = "GOP attempts to ‘kneecap’ Hillary Clinton"
on.msnbc.com/1g0FRCm

2nd segment = "Is Rand Paul stepping up onto the 2016 stage?"
on.msnbc.com/1lsnaZM

3rd segment = "Let Me Finish: Matthews on 2016: Things are getting rough"
on.msnbc.com/1lsnnw2

A few quick thoughts:
1.) Chris Matthews genuinely both likes & respects Rand... because of how good/skilled/savvy Rand is at the "game of politics" (which is pretty much all that Matthews thinks/gets excited about)... suffice to say, this is no small plus given that Matthews can demagogue/spin with the best of 'em).

2.) Uber DEM hacks partisans like Joy Reid are keenly aware of Rand's ability to disrupt many of their bs messaging efforts (e.g. "War on Women") and effectively flip-the-script.

3.) The way Rand is framing his attacks against Bill Clinton are rhetorically bulletproof - kudos to him and whomever else worked with him to craft these responses/talking points.



Will update with YouTube if someone can convert/upload

Wonder if Doug Wead is still around? He's got some savvy in this respect.

Did you guys catch that part in the clip where that lady Joy is trying to plant seeds that Rand Paul was defending Hermain Cain?

Well, he did. She, of course, used a bunch of hyperbole. He was not one of Cain's biggest defenders, but he did say:

‘In my election, I had an anonymous girl from college — who I still don’t know — make accusations against me. I don’t think you should print stuff like that. To libel someone’s character and not put your name on it, I think is inappropriate and shouldn’t be printed.”


It's a pretty easy one to beat back because he hasn't attacked Clinton on the numerous allegations, but the one proven instance on his laundry list of infidelity.

Good stuff! Rand is a freaking machine. I be the Dems are scared to death right now. No one can respond to their attacks the way Rand does. They're so used to bullying republicans with their demagogue attacks. The bullies better get ready to get punched back hard.

I find anything coming out of Chris Matthew to be awesome or interesting. But the middle link is the only one with any redeeming quality. Micheal Steele actually put out a good performance in the segment and also I have to say that this idea of Rand being the biggest defender of Hermain Cain is new to me.

I have to say one last thing, Rand should be careful to point out that this attack on Bill is just to show the hypocrisy of the whole war on women accusation from Dems. This is not be a guilt by association attack that would allow them to attack him later on by attacking Ron Paul and some of the people he associates with(hint hint Alex Jones)
