Liz Cheney Accuses Rand Paul of Getting Talking Points From Rachel Maddow

Brace yourself Rand because AIPAC, the Military Industrial Complex and their foot soldiers in the media are about to unload on you, and now Jennifer Rubin has gotten Liz Cheney to go on the record blasting you.

The Post reports on another videotaped remark from now-Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) from 2009, via David Corn, in which Paul claims Vice President Dick Cheney’s association with Halliburton was the motivation for the Iraq war:
This revelation follows reports on other remarks slamming the military option for Iran and claiming U.S. sanctions helped bring about World War II and elsewhere defending his father’s remarks that U.S. foreign policy precipitated 9/11 (although Rand Paul says this didn’t justify the attack). The comments in their totality will reinforce criticism of his views as beyond the GOP mainstream and evocative of his father’s conspiratorial views.
I asked Liz Cheney, as someone close to her father and who worked on his memoirs, for her reaction. She said: “It’s not surprising since Senator Paul often seems to get his foreign policy talking points from Rachel Maddow.”

anyone with half a brain knows that US foreign policy was a root cause of the attacks. The idea that they would attack us just because "they hate our freedom" is absurd.

Perhaps Rand should invite Liz over for a beer, and then Dick Cheney.

The skin is thin when it comes to Rand. Prepare thy anus as no one gets through because they believe as you do.

Here's an interesting article from The American Conservative about the war on anti-war Republicans.

quote:
Walter Jones is the first target. The ten-term North Carolina Republican has emerged as a leading antiwar voice in Congress. As a result, he faces a primary challenge from former George W. Bush aide Taylor Griffin—and a barrage of hostile spending from outside groups.
The Emergency Committee for Israel has launched a six-figure ad campaign describing Jones as a convert to liberalism. “Once upon a time, Walter Jones was right for North Carolina but he’s changed,” says the narrator in the 30-second spot. “Isn’t it time your vote changed as well?”
A super PAC formed by TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts is also spending $156,000 on ads attacking Jones as some kind of liberal. Ricketts’ Ending the Spending claims Jones, one of the last members of the GOP class of ’94 in Congress, has “lost his North Carolina values.”
Carter Wrenn, the longtime Tar Heel State conservative operative who with Jesse Helms and Tom Ellis helped revive Ronald Reagan’s 1976 presidential campaign, told Roll Call, “It’s going to be a tough sell to say Walter Jones doesn’t have North Carolina values, but if they have money it will be real.”
A tough sell, indeed. Jones is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-gun, and has compiled one of the most reliable socially conservative records in Congress. He voted to repeal and defund Obamacare. He’s also voted against many big-ticket spending items supported by most Republicans, including Bush’s deficit-financed Medicare prescription-drug benefit, No Child Left Behind, and last year’s farm bill.
The real issue is Jones’s willingness to stand against his party on foreign policy. A man from a military-heavy district with patriotic instincts, he initially supported the Iraq war and famously led the “freedom fries” campaign. He came to doubt the intelligence used to justify the war and turned sharply against it—and most of the subsequent military interventions pushed by the bipartisan establishment.
Next on the list is Justin Amash, whose primary comes nearly three months later in August. “Over cocktails and chocolate-covered strawberries,” Newsmax reports, a group of west Michigan Republicans gathered at a Tudor-style home in Grand Rapids,” eventually settling on businessman Brian Ellis to challenge Amash.

If anyone thinks that Cheney/Bush has somehow regained credibility, they have already been left behind.

I guess it was predictable that a thread like this would bring out the warmongers.

Can we please be done with the Bush family. The Cheney family. Karl Rove. Dick Morris. etc......Good lord its like the walking dead of the GOP and they can't ever be killed.......I agree with going to war when its absolutely needed but I agree with Rand and his dad when it comes to the overall US stance on being the worlds police.....These people are the most dangerous...

I once shook Dick's hand, now i'd just shake my Dick if he offered his hand.
On a real note, you are starting to see more and more articles going after Rand. This is going to get ugly. I'm excited just to see his composure frick their heads up. Can't put Rand on tilt
