Top 10 Dumbest Democrat Attacks on Rand Paul Debunked

by Josh Guckert

Since announcing his presidential campaign on Tuesday, Rand Paul has quickly become one of the most talked about people in the country. With his rhetoric on the campaign trail in Kentucky, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Iowa, he has shattered the image of what it means to be a Republican and a politician in the United States. Incorporating into his rallies men and women of different ages, races and backgrounds, Paul has proven that he is a candidate who can unite America in a way which has been lost during the Obama Administration.

However, as his popularity has risen, those over at the Democratic National Committee, ever divisive, have decided to smear and criticize Senator Paul using rather dishonest and juvenile tactics. Here is a list of just the top 10 most ignorant attacks levied against the junior Senator from Kentucky.

1. “Rand Paul doesn’t believe in gay rights.”

Posted on their Facebook page on March 31, one whole week before Senator Paul announced his candidacy, the DNC presented a 6-second clip, wherein Paul states, “I don’t think I’ve ever used the word ‘gay rights’ because I really don’t believe in rights based on your behavior.”

Blasphemy! Is Senator Paul suggesting that gay Americans have no rights and therefore should receive no protections from the Constitution? Not quite. In fact, as one can see from watching the entire question, Paul states quite the opposite. He says that he is in favor of “rights for individuals,” and against “judging individuals based on their behavior.”

He goes on to laud “blind justice” under our judicial system, including toward gay Americans.Quite ironically, and somewhat prophetically, just prior to the out-of-context quote used by the Democrats in their Facebook status, Senator Paul also derides media outlets which put “inflammatory” words in headlines in a way which misleads readers.
