Will Sarah Palin denounce Rand Paul as she did Jeremiah Wright? I certainly hope so.The following is a press release from the Friends of Trey Grayson.
Florence, Kentucky – Kentucky Secretary of State and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Trey Grayson released a new web ad today exposing Rand Paul’s statements that blame the 9/11 attacks on America’s actions.
The video, featured on RandPaulStrangeIdeas.com, uses multiple video clips of Rand Paul saying that America’s actions caused the attacks on September 11th. The video also shows the similarity of Paul’s statements to his Libertarian father, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, and to Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Rev. Wright said in one of his offensive sermons that “the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards.” Rand Paul has repeatedly made identical statements:
“They are in our face, in our country because we are in their country.” (Ron Paul's son Rand Paul in Montana, January 29, 2009)
“They’re have been a lot of people that have written about terrorism and the terrorists themselves will tell you why they come here. They come here because we’re over there.” (Dr. Rand Paul Rally Nashville part 3, Jan. 27, 2008)
“They do not attack for what we are, they attack us because we are in their countries.” (Ron Paul's son Rand Paul in Montana, January 29, 2009)
“We have to understand that there is blowback from our foreign policy.” (Rand Paul Remarks at Western Kentucky University, www.youtube.com, April 7, 2009)
“Rand Paul has repeatedly echoed his dad’s questioning of whether or not the US is responsible for the 9/11 attacks. While Rand Paul may now try to fudge his record for political expediency, he cannot run from his previously held beliefs that America’s actions caused the 9/11 attacks and that we should not have passed the Patriot Act, our best weapon to prevent future attacks. The extremist views that he shares with his Libertarian father and Rev. Wright are dangerous,” Grayson campaign manager Nate Hodson said.
Sarah Palin needs to show some Chutzpah. these populist opinions might be popular for some, but it does not show leadership.
