A lot of people were asking to hear this. Here it is. Sorry for the single channel. I'm a complete noob to video & sound editing.
+rep, thanks
Rush Limbaugh says Ron Paul did not start the Tea Party? Hmmmm facts say otherwise.
And I sent him a link to the 2007 Tea Party video promo. : )Originally Posted by The Dark Knight
He cites the gallup poll about how only 7% of people who identify themselves as the Tea Party support Ron Paul. I don't really doubt this, but that doesn't mean it didn't start with him. As we know it's been co-opted by much different interests.
thx
This guy spews more lies and disinformation in 5 mins than most. He probably takes the record
I tweeted him that the Tea Party was started by Paul supporters and quickly co-opted by neocon statists. Like he doesn't already know that...
Cliff notes:
Truth:
Paul has said that our presence in the Middle East provided the main motivation for the 9/11 attacks. In any terrorist attack, only those committing the violent act can be blamed.
Rush's Spin:
Paul blames America for 9/11
Truth:
Paul said those those at Occupy Wall Street can be categorized into those who want more handouts and those who are tired of paying for them. He is with those who are tired of paying for them
Rush's Spin:
Paul supports Occupy Wall Street 100%
Truth:
Paul blames the current recession on Federal Reserve manipulation and excessive debt created by individuals, corporations, and government.
Rush's Spin:
Paul blames the recession on Wall Street
I think I just threw up a little...and the sad thing is people listen to this guy blindly without doing research.......
Privatize the profits, socialize the losses. - Government at its best.
Rush: "There's nobody -- no other Republican running [...] that has a foreign policy that's anywhere near
Ron Paul's."
Exactly.
No one but Paul.
Couldn't have made the case better myself. Thanks Rush.

Rush is kinda right though, the Tea Party isn't what they used to be anymore, and really tend to not associate themselves with Ron as much now. Hell, you rarely hear Ron even mention them. For whatever reason, some of them have shifted left, some went more right, and i don't even think most of them know wtf they even are anymore, just one big blur it seems.
It doesn't make sense to me why Rush has this utter disdain for Paul and libertarians. I mean, his most popular guest host, Walter Williams, is openly libertarian and supports Paul.
I think he hates Paul more than McCain.
The one-word answer is: CO-OPTED
Rush needs the reading list Ron Paul gave to Guliani.
The 9-11 Commission Report, Final Edition. National Commission on Terrorist Attacks. Barnes & Noble Publishing: NY, NY, 2006
Imperial Hubris Scheuer, Michael. Potomac Books: Washington, DC, 2004.
Blowback Johnson, Chalmers. Henry Holt and Company: New York, NY.* 2000.
Dying to Win Pape, Robert A. Random House: New York, NY, 2005.
Rush is a pig; spewing false, misleading, and deliberately inaccurate vitriol.
He was saying first Paul but also Santorum and Bachmann secondly,
Lol really crafty call because anyone who votes for Santorum or Bachmann is probably just taking votes away from Gingrich or Romney and indirectly helping Paul.
I heard this and wanted to scream. As said, people will sadly believe him and it hurt's Paul's chances.
I would say that we need to have some well educated, and spoken, supporters phone into him but I'm sure he'd ignore it or cut it off quickly before making him look bad.
Mother should I trust the government?
We started the Tea Party right here on these forums back in '07. Back then it was a conduit for fundraising for Ron Paul's campaign. We felt like we were bringing back the spirit of the original Boston Tea Party by casting off the shackles of unrestrained government with our support for Dr. Paul's campaign, and the theme seemed like a good fit. It worked. Obviously we struck a chord with a lot of disaffected individuals. The campaign raised over $6 million dollars that day. But the establishment took notice of our tactics. After Paul failed to capture the nomination in '08 something different happened to the Tea Party...
After the nomination was over, the followers of Ron Paul's campaign mostly slid back into apathy or channeled their energies into Ron Paul's side-project - Campaign for Liberty. The Tea Party began to slip from our grasp as guys like Dick Army and the Koch brothers took hold of our "Tea Party" label. Army's "Freedom Works" foundation co-opted the term, and twisted the original spirit of liberty and prosperity that our Tea Party once stood for. They mutated the Tea Party into simply an anti-Obama platform for the establishment right. Neo-cons and rank-and-file Republicans fell in lock-step with the new anti-Obama agenda of the Tea Party and embraced the term, and whatever spirit remained of the '07 Tea Party we conceived was then lost.
Well, there was also that financial guy on tv who said something about how we should have a Tea Party like they did in Boston. Remember that rant? Can't remember his name...Was it Rick Santelli? But this was WELL after our 2007 Tea Party.
He should have called, and said...
Hey Rush did you know that you're the star of the new Ron Paul anti-Newt ad in Iowa. It's the best ad I've ever seen! Please search for it on youtube.
I love the quivering fear in Rush's voice.

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
Rush sounds like that all the time now, it isn't fear, he just isn't healthy.

He's wrong and probably knowingly lying. We had the first tea party on December 16, 2007. We used it to raise money, but the focus and symbolism was already there and it was nationwide. Paul supporters had already adopted the gadsen flag and focused on the importance of the constitution and the founding father's. At the time, Glenn Beck was calling us terrorists for using violent rhetoric ie "money bomb", "revolution", but obviously noted we were building a movement. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rc4OJWH1nE&NR=1 After Obama was in office, FOX gave Glenn Beck a national stage so he could co-opt our movement and ruin it. It worked to a large extent, but not completely. All of us are still here!

This country is $#@!ing screwed. I'm moving to Switzerland.
I'm thinking about leaving too. However, if I sit it out, I'll probably be able to get some bargain basement deals with my silver when the government destroys the economy and the parasites in the regime pick a new country to base their empire from.
Walter Williams doesn't support Ron Paul, he does the whole I agree with Ron Paul except his foreign policy routine. Just another paid for NeoCon radio host.
Damn Rush has sunk so low, when the lies are so outright ridiculous, you can tell he's uncomfortable having to lie. Another paid off by the Israel Lobby.
