Senator Paul to Speak at Berkley

That'll go over like a fart in church.

You gotta give Paul credit. He's not just giving lip service to minority and youth outreach, he's actually doing it. I think his views on foreign policy, the war on drugs, drone use and domestic spying will probably go over pretty well there. Check out what MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell had to say about him last night:

Today Paul goes into the belly of the beast. Does anyone know if we'll be able to watch it live somewhere?

anybody have a link to today's speech. I was stuck in class

He cherry picked the topic for this audience. He is very pro-privacy, which should actually play well with this crowd.

I will be interested to see what he says and how "far" he goes. I am intrigued by Paul but I am not a libertarian (though I appreciate many of their concerns and share some positions) and I also believe in a stronger foreign policy role than Paul's father (and probably than Rand, himself).

San Francisco Chronicle headline:

Republican Rand Paul fires up a Berkeley Crowd

Oakland Tribune headline:

Rand Paul, Republican presidential hopeful, finds support in Berkeley, of all places

The Daily Californian (Berkeley school newspaper) headline:

Rand Paul discusses domestic spying and privacy rights at Berkeley Forum event


And then there's the predictable.

Here's FOX News' headline:

Rand Paul rebukes Obama over spying in Berkeley speech

And of course there's The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin's headline:

Rand Paul panders at Berkeley



I guess Paul has replaced Chuck Hagel as #1 on Rubin's hit list.

EDIT: Rubin proves my point that when Paul runs for President, he will be attacked more from the right than from the left. If he gets the nomination, don't be surprised if some of the neocons endorse Hillary over Paul.
