Stupid thing to say. For someone the media is going to be gunning for, incredibly stupid. You can't rail on the exchange and then make jokes about it either.

People who will be offended about an obvious joke like this wouldn't vote for him any way. I've heard this joke a few times since the swap and laughed. I don't love it coming from Rand but it wouldn't keep me for voting for him. And it's certainly not going to keep Republicans from voting for him. Many independents are just as fed up.

Rand created a "two fer" for the idiots on the Left. First, they're looking for any excuse to bash Rand Paul. If anybody doesn't know why, well, those people probably dont even visit this board.

Secondly, nobody does victimhood like the Left. It is a core ingredient of their DNA.

PS - the Taliban wouldn't take those idiots, anyway.

Screw-the-media (MSM version). The sanctimonious/hypocritical liar have lost all cred, as they have become the Pravda of reportage.

Paul is doing the right strategic thing, in that he is applying the Alinsky MO of public derision...and if or when the MSM jumps in, he can whack them too. Candy Crowley...moderator in the Presidential debate. Sheeeshh! The MSM are sitting ducks. And the only ones that will howl are the Progressive bots who will never change their vote anyway.

Gloves off. Being "crass" - given the REAL and utterly farcical political dialogue in this nation - is more of a joke than a real joke.

Go get em' Rand! Gloves off.

It was funny. Have we finally reached that point where we can no longer laugh at the absurd without being offended by it? Anyone who takes offense at an obvious attempt at humor should be dismissed out of hand.

He may well run head to head with Hillary. You think there was any chance the media wasn't going to be gunning for him?
