Rand Paul: Iran Wants Nukes Because It “Feels Threatened”
David Horowitz's NewsRealblog ^ | Calvin Freiburger

Posted on 02/16/2010 2:05:11 PM PST by Michael van der Galien

It turns out that crackpot Ron Paul’s son Rand can understand why poor, innocent Iran might want nuclear weapons—they feel “threatened” by big, bad America (hat tip to Rand Paul: Too Kooky for Kentucky for the video):

Those crazy Iranians, and that nutty Rand Paul - how could they even think that the good old US of A is a threat?

Maybe because the US invaded and occupied them in WWII?

Maybe because the CIA overthrew their elected gov't in 1954?

And then assassinated the deposed prime minister just to make sure he didn't come back to power?

Put the shah in power & kept his brutal ass there for near 30 years?

Trained their secret police in the harmless arts of torture & repression?

Assisted Saddam Hussein in his war against them?

Provided Hussein with chemical weapon components that he used extensively against them?

Shot down one of their airliners, killing 300 innocent civilians?

Publicly threatened to attack them, continuously, for the last couple of decades?

Conducted (conducting) covert operations in their country for years?

Providing encouragement and support to Iranians, inside Iran, opposed to their elected gov't?

No, Iran is completely irrational in thinking the US is a threat.

Rand Paul is a fool to thinks so.

And in the real world, you neocons are some sick, twisted freaks.

Well, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. Iran’s propagandist couldn’t have rationalized its goal better. Hitler felt scared too for his race. The mad mullahs feel scared for their theocracy. Give them a nuke and we’ll all be fine. Such malarkey!

- where does the Constitution justify attacking a sovereign nation that hasn’t attacked us?

- please tell me which president really started this policy of foreign military intervention (hint WW) and explain how he was “conservative”.

- explain why it is smarter to do as the dems do with social b.s. programs but in regards to foreign affairs.

tick tock...

That's assinine. The people calling for the death of the Little Satan , who name their missiles after the battle of Khaybar, and who fund and arm the ppeople who kill Israelis and chant "Khaybar, Khaybar o Jews, the army of Muhammad will return", do not want ot change Israelis borders; they want to dance in Jewish blood.

Aside from half your facts being wrong or incomplete it is also relativist garbage. Iran is not producing nuclear weapons because it is threatened, it is threatened because it is producing nukes and killing Americans.
We are not about to invade Libya.

Must have been a short time-out. He was definitely purple-screened yesterday.

But I keep getting told that the Pauls are not anti-semites.

(They merely hate Israel.)

Oh, s**t! That was really dumb!

If he wins the primary, I’ll still support him, but this doesn’t help his credibility at all. This isn’t quite as bad as Debra Medina’s gaffe, but it’s bad enough.

Are you waiting for my reply? The Admin kicked me off last night but I’m back on today. I’m still waiting for a reply as to why. In the meantime, I’ll tell you what I told them. I’ve been on here since around 1999. I gave money every time I could including times that I was working two days a week and trying to keep the home that I bought so that my elderly parents could live in a decent neighborhood. When I had almost nothing to give, I gave.

I’m no longer in that position and I’m doing quite well. But the admin told me to stay off FR. Should I take my money elsewhere? Arrowhead, you posted “We are watching you.” Sounds pretty ominous and I have no idea what it’s supposed to mean but I pay enough to the feds to be “watched”, especially in my line of work. I don’t need to pay for it here. Maybe my money wouldn’t be missed. I don’t know. The leftists on college campuses shout people down when they don’t want to hear from them, I expected more from this crowd.

I posted this last week on a Degra Medina thread:

“She’s a Ron Paul acolyte. She couldn’t answer Glenn’s question because she was worried about offending the large contingent of “Troofers” in her support base.”

My reply:

Yeah, and Sarah Palin has endorsed Rand Paul who’s a weirdo just like his father, with the same goofy ideas. That’s two down for Sarah. Endorsing McCain and endorsing Rand Paul.

There have been some long time “trolls” who have been exposed and ZOTTED lately. Sometimes we are leery of some posters who just post off the wall threads or replies. We are vigilant here and try to keep them to a minimum. Sorry for any confusion.

Understood. I don’t know why so many liberals are so obnoxious, but I honestly believe its some kind of self-loathing disorder. I guess they think that if they’re loud enough it will make their b.s. true to others and then they’ll actually start to believe it themselves.

“Too late. She’s already explicitly and publicly endorsed him. He’ll win the primary, too.”

Great. If that happens the socialists will be able to say “Repubs are crazy” and they won’t be wrong.

Makes you wonder if Mrs. Palin has a method to her madness or is naive or actually libertarian. She seems to really like and admire Ron Paul and his son Rand. This needs to be noticed by her admirers.
