Jennifer Rubin’s Rand Paul obsession

Jennifer Rubin’s Rand Paul obsession

In February, Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) was asked during a panel what he thought about Washington Post conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin saying negative things about him. Amash dismissed it and suggested people should go look at how often Rubin criticizes Rand Paul instead.

So I did.

Jennifer Rubin mentioned Senator Rand Paul’s name 143 times in the first three weeks of March (March 1-21) on her Right Turn blog. The only other political figure mentioned more often than Paul was President Obama at 206 times (not including “Obamacare,” but just President Obama specifically).

The most frequently mentioned named after Sen. Paul was Russian President Vladimir Putin at 87 times and then Senator Ted Cruz at 59 times. Senator Marco Rubio was mentioned 40 times, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, 31 times, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, 26 times and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was mentioned 8 times.

Rubin also wrote more headlines specifically about Paul (9 headlines) than other figure except President Obama (10 headlines).

Every headline Rubin wrote about Paul was negative in tone: “Rand Paul’s Shape Shifting” (March 21), “Rand Paul panders at Berkeley” (March 20), “Ted Cruz 2, Rand Paul 0” (March 19), “Rand Paul under fire” (March 14), “Rand Paul seems confused” (March 12), “Where are all those Rand Paul voters?” (March 11), “Rand Paul’s fake foreign policy” (March 10), “Paul the Younger: Libertarian vs. the GOP” (March 7) and “Rand Paul is the odd man out of the GOP on foreign policy” (March 4).

She secretly has a ladyboner for Rand.

Not so secret.

As soon as I see a negative article about Rand, I can almost always bet it's written by J. Rubin, or Huffington of course, but at least they don't make any claim to being "conservative writers". I don't even click on it once I see the author.

Or Christian science monitor. I come to the point where I dont even bother clicking on it anymore

So does Rubin like Cruz? If so, that should tell any fence sitter where Cruz' loyalties actually lie...

This woman is a mouthpiece of the MIC.

Pretty shore she hates Cruz aswell if for other reasons.

Just another rabid Israel-firster with a media platform to smear from, that's all.

 

[Okaloosa]

Getting her out of the media and taking out Peter King as Congressman would be a major victory against these attack dogs. Oh and Rubin sabotaged Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia and will do the same thing against Rand in 2016.

 

[ObiRandKenobi]

i always get jennifer ruben confused with that paul-hater rabinovich at wsj

 

[jct74]

she only mentioned Rand twice in her latest column "The shutdown squad sides with Putin". (Amash and Massie also got honorary mentions as well)

 

[Dianne]

All I know, is Rand will crucify Hillary Clinton. I'm beginning to have my doubts that Hillary will run.

 

[anaconda]

I think it was four hit pieces last week. Two so far this week I think. She really gets destroyed in the comments section on these hit pieces.

 

[anaconda]

Do you really think she has this much power? She writes like a high school kid and her biased vitriol is pretty transparent. Sometimes she gets hardly any comments on her pieces. Makes me wonder if anyone reads them much less gives them serious consideration.

 

[TheTyke]

Hey now... in all fairness, occasionally takes a break from the Rand-bashing to bash Matt Bevin.

 

[Spikender]

Platforms with which to have your voice heard are wasted on the weak.

 

[fr33]

What's scary is that's the most attractive picture of her that I've ever seen.

I was just thinking the same thing. In fact, I didn't even believe that was her at first!

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Who cares? She's just another political pundit, a troglodyte class of people who's job is to reaffirm people's point of view, and mold acceptable opinion. Getting mad at her for attacking Rand is like getting mad at a bird for flying, or a wave for breaking. Money is driving her behavior.

 

[anaconda]

Wow. She's at it again. Another Rand "bashing" today (on a Sunday even):

(Except that when she tries to bash him it often sounds more like praise to me)
