Mark Levin: "Ron Paul is different than Rand Paul"

[ObiRandKenobi]

more hatred of christie than love of rand but i'll take what i can get.

He looks like Bernanke. That's enough reason to hate him. Plus that whiny, nasally voice.

That said, as long as he's helping Rand....

i missed this interview with piers morgan last month and just discovered it recently, but here's a bit of what a gloves-off, unfiltered rand would sound like:



ron paul still energizes me with his no-bs approach like none other but god pls, no wedge issues at this juncture

did mark levin actually pick up one of those internet comment-box terms "repub(k)e-lican?" lol

edit: hmmmm that was actually a decent rant he just said something to the effect of "libertarianism is too broad a label to mark anyone with" and cited various types of people calling themselves libertarians, and he said ron and rand are two different types of libertarians but didn't elaborate much more on that, didn't throw anything negative at ron paul either, and it was barely a point of focus during that short clip

Ron's libertarian
Rand's republican conservative w/some libertarian views
IMHO

Isn't anyone going to call and tell him there's only 1% difference between Ron and Rand? Sounds like Mark is driving wedges.

I loved the very the end "...Governor Christie."

 

[jtstellar]

sarcasm or not he only used it as example to point out varying streams of libertarianism..

also used neal boortz and nick gillespie so ron is just 1 of 4 names mentioned in a 3 second span

No need, the cue cards will change when necessary:




The media will do what they need to do for ratings. In an off season, like now, hating on anything President Obama is doing and passing makes a lot of sense. Only when the election comes around to they need to unify the talking points behind a big government RINO and tell their listeners why someone is good/bad/unelectable.

That's not the host or the unbrainwashed audience that that would play well in. In this instance, I'm perfectly happy to have Levin on the farm and spreading the Rand holiday cheer to the masses. That said, you've had enough fun for one day.

I don't think Mark is brainwashed. His listeners sure, but Mark knows what he's doing. Either Rand has tricked him, tricked us, or Levin is planning a betrayal.

Personally I think the third option is most likely, but any of the three are possible.

I was differentiating between the host and the audience as they've been conditioned to think what they do about Ron and that's the point I was making. Levin has stated before that if Rand was anything like his dad that he'd want nothing to do with him. I'm betting on Rand cogently adhering to his realist foreign policy and not giving Levin or his ilk anything too radical to go on and thus keeping him as an honored conservative guest and namesake on the program. Hence, in this situation I wouldn't attempt to call in with cajun's advice (using Ron's words) because that's the opposite perception that I want Rand to have outside of our peeps. I'm a genius, yeah I know.

I still don't believe the 1% quote. I believe Ron when he says Rand is "Somewhat similar to him" but I think 1% was being way too generous. Yeah, I said it, I think Ron Paul was wrong, like he is 1-2% of the time.

That said, I'm gonna support Rand. I'm too scared of everyone else, and I'm rolling the dice that Rand is close enough to Ron that he'll actually stick to his guns and get something done once he gets into office, even if he's not perfect.

But 99% of Ron Paul? I don't buy that, sorry. Sanctions alone is probably more than 1%, TBH.

I'm still laughing at this post. Can I put it in my sig?

I disagree there's any major substantive difference, which is what I assume he's implying. They are different though, they're different people with differences in strategy and approach and personal qualities. Which I think is just superficial and mostly irrelevant.

Think about what you are saying and to whom you are speaking... Levin. Then, realize how asinine your statement is.

Murray Rothbard and Milton Friedman are both libertarians and very similar, but they get very different treatment by different groups. I personally like both but they seems to be a minority position.

The analogy of Rothbard and Friedman is probably appropriate for Ron and Rand. I happily voted for Ron, but he says and does a lot things that show very poor judgement. He is going to shutout people whereas Rand sounds more reasonable to the average political watcher.

I like Rand Paul, you like Rand Paul, Levin likes Rand Paul. Don't Shoot Yourself In The Foot With Egoism.
