Matt Kibbe on NewsmaxTV talks about Rand Paul and 2016 field

[Jeremy]

I did not "judge a candidate based on [his] supporters" (in any "place," first, last or other) - I judged some of his supporters.

That is precisely why I quite deliberately - not to mention explicitly - referred to "Rand supporters" and not to Rand himself.

You threatened to "sit down", in other words stop supporting Rand. I remember conservatives in 2007 were criticizing Ron Paul for his 9/11 truther supporters.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Banana and Badgiraffe again.

Ron Paul is not an isolationist. *sigh*

[Jamesiv1]

Well yeah, but Kibbe's trying to woo PAC donors; not to throw red meat to the grassroots.

You threatened to "sit down", in other words stop supporting Rand.

No I didn't. This is what I said:

If this is what "Stand With Rand" means to Rand supporters, them I'm sittin' my ass the hell down ...

IOW: If Rand supporters think "Standing With Rand" means positively affirming & adopting the slanders used against Ron by his enemies, then I am NOT going to join them in doing so.

I said nothing about supporting or not supporting Rand himself, one way or the other.

I remember conservatives in 2007 were criticizing Ron Paul for his 9/11 truther supporters.

So what? I have not uttered a single word of criticism against Rand over this. I have criticized some of his supporters.
