Robert Patterson, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, said Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) gave "aid and comfort to the rioters and the protestors" with his op-ed in Time against the militarization of local police forces.

Appearing on Breitbart News Saturday, Patterson said that Paul was "outdoing" President Barack Obama's "attempt to show moral equivalence between the rioters and the police" with a Time op-ed that even Al Sharpton praised.

Patterson said that it is "another illustration of out-of-touch Republicans who are looking for love in all the wrong places" by "pandering to liberal and corporate elites instead of the middle america that the party needs to rebuild the center-right majority."

Patterson, who also worked for Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett, said Paul "wants the affirmation of the elites and the media" because it is "a lot more fun to be lionized to by the New York Times and Time magazine" and "sit in corporate luxury boxes" than to understand the middle class that Nixon and Reagan understood is "decisive" in any national election.

When I see a "former Bush speechwriter" has said something asinine, I automatically assume it's David Frum. In this case, I was pleasantly surprised.

Although, taken together, I'm thinking "former Bush speechwriter" could be a better euphemism than "special needs student".

Oh, you mean like YOUR "attempt to show moral equivalence between the rioters and" the protestors? Like that, you mean? ...

Fuck you, you mealy-mouthed asshole!

Mr. Patterson sounds even more moss-covered than McCain or Lindsey. I wonder if he realizes what a sad and dated caricature he represented himself as?

 

[thoughtomator]

All the Bush admin assholes who haven't had the courtesy to die off yet ought to be dumped in Iraq to fix the problem they created - on their own dime. They can come back when the mission is accomplished.

 

[jct74]

well I guess Mike Huckabee is guilty of giving 'Aid & Comfort' too, according to Robert Patterson.

 

[Kotin]

Oh so a bush lackey would know more about middle class appeal than a rural Kentucky eye doctor???

Excellent point, Rand was clear that the rioting was not justified, but this smear is attempting to blend rioters and protestors. One would think that a presidential speechwriter would have proper reading comprehension skills.

This is good. The old guard needs to start playing it hand. The sooner the GOP get through this the better.

He was a presidential speechwriter. Anything the guy says is going to conflate, obfuscate, and conceal the truth.

Have you ever listened to Bush's speeches?

 

[Natural Citizen]

I don't understand the logic behind using language such as "moral equivilence".

 

[anaconda]

I think the vehicle of delivery was the problem there...

 

[kcchiefs6465]

I think the vehicle of delivery was the problem there...

Definitely didn't help.

It doesn't take much to write the sort of speeches they give.

"9/11"

Go on...

"9...... 11"

When I see this:

who also worked for Pennsylvania Governor tom corbett

I automatically assume corrupt statist and corporate / MIC shill.

its always a good thing when cockroaches shine the light on themselves...makes it easier to spot.

Point taken.

And the comments are disgusting. I just don't understand how so many conservatives who want to limit the power of the government in general blindly trust the military and the police.

Paul didn't let this crisis go to waste. Nor did he waste time doing so.

Nor did he remove his head from an anatomical space where his head was, before he wrote that.

With respect to Rand , looks like the apple does not fall far from the tree.

When you read glowing reviews of Rand from the Washington Post and LA Times, it's a sign.

He might replace Christie as the new "Conservative Darling" of the leftist media.

I'd say at least 75-80%, if not more, of the comments are anti-Rand.

And why does that center-right, middle class majority need to be rebuilt, Patterson? Perhaps because they placed their faith in your boss and you helped him and his cronies destroy the middle class?

Somebody's peeved because Rand Paul is tolling the bell, and these clowns know for whom...
