Rand Paul said today that Hillary Clinton should return donations she’s received from Planned Parenthood, as the GOP ratchets up its focus on the group over several controversial videos about harvesting fetal tissue.

According to The Washington Post, Paul spoke at an anti-abortion rally on Capitol Hill today (where other Republicans spoke) and said, “Hillary Clinton’s hands are stained by accepting this money. She needs to immediately return every red cent she has received from Planned Parenthood employees.”

Paul cited stats showing Clinton’s received over $10,000 in donations from the abortion provider. He called out media double standards and asked why it is that Republicans are always called out for money they get from “unsavory organizations” but Democrats get a pass when it comes to something like this.

Clinton most likely won’t be doing that any time soon, because as recently as last week, she was publicly defending Planned Parenthood from a “concerted attack.”

Because nothing says "libertarian" like forcing women to remain pregnant by order of the state!

Baby Ron Paul jumps of the latest James O'Keefe hoax and tries to lecture us on dirty campaign money.

Which is interesting because he had nothing to say when the head of white nationalist/neo-nazi website Stormfront was making fundraising pitches for his senate campaign in 2010:

Surely, if Paul doesn't return money from members of Stormfront, his hands are stained, right?

I bet the "liberal media" will get right on that.

And let's not forget his daddy Ron Paul, who was endorsed by Stormfront and happily accepted donations from them.

Here's Daddy Paul with Mr. Black, a former KKK grand wizard and member of the American Nazi Party:

Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has received a $500 campaign donation from a white supremacist, and the Texas congressman doesn't plan to return it, an aide said Wednesday.

Don Black, of West Palm Beach, recently made the donation, according to campaign filings. He runs a Web site called Stormfront with the motto, "White Pride World Wide." The site welcomes postings to the "Stormfront White Nationalist Community."

That was in 2007.
Here was Rand's response:

He went on to proudly endorse daddy's runs for president in 2008 and 2012.

OK, so maybe it's unfair to say Paul is stained by the donations of white supremacists.

It's not like he said:

Maddow:... How about desegregating lunch counters?
Paul: Well what it gets into then is if you decide that restaurants are publicly owned and not privately owned, then do you say that you should have the right to bring your gun into a restaurant even though the owner of the restaurant says 'well no, we don't want to have guns in here' the bar says 'we don't want to have guns in here because people might drink and start fighting and shoot each-other.' Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant? These are important philosophical debates but not a very practical discussion...
Maddow: Well, it was pretty practical to the people who had the life nearly beaten out of them trying to desegregate Walgreen's lunch counters despite these esoteric debates about what it means about ownership. This is not a hypothetical Dr. Paul.

or co-authored a book with and hired a guy for his congressional staff who said:

(Pictured: Former Rand Paul aide Jack Hunter)

As the arguably white nationalist Southern Avenger, Hunter praised the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, saying he “raise[s] a personal toast every May 10 to celebrate John Wilkes Booth’s birthday,” compared Lincoln to Saddam Hussein, and suggested the great American president would have had a homosexual relationship with Adolf Hitler, had the two ever met. He also advocated against Hispanic immigration and in favor of white pride, warning that a “non-white majority America would simply cease to be America.”

Rand, of course, stood by Hunter and was angry and dumbfounded that people dared call the guy a racist:

So, yeah, who better to demand the return of campaign money than the outstanding "libertarian" wonder boy?

Look for this question to be posed to Paul on a cozy Sunday show in......oh, about....never.

3. I'd like to hear her tell him to STFU nt

[olddots]

4. poor little Ayn Randy Pauly

he is getting upstaged by Donny

[TreasonousBastard]

5. I am not nearly as upset by him saying this...

as I am by the people agreeing with him.

He has the right to say any stupid thing that comes into his mind, as we all do, but only a diseased society will give him the time of day.

[muriel_volestrangler]

6. Looks like it's donation from PP employees; the campaign should keep that, and if she has personally

donated to PP itself, she should publicise that (or consider making such a donation, if she has not).

[Hekate]

7. I've been a PP donor since my college years and I'm now a grandma. I'm very proud of that.

In college I could only give sums like $5 or $10, but now I can do things like sponsor book tables at our annual giant book sale. They do good work.

I've written LTTEs, Op-Eds, held picket signs, marched in D.C. ...

Rand Paul is a loathsome soulless cockroach, who confirms my worst opinion of Libertarians: He's got his, and everyone else is SOL, including (especially!) women and children.

Rand Paul can shove his copy of Atlas Shrugged where the sun don't shine.

[BlueMTexpat]

8. Just. Another. Republican. Idiot. eom

[JackInGreen]

9. It's too early

For that kinda stupid.
She should be proud of that 'stain'.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. They're inconsistent liars

They talk about family and values and Christian families and Christian
values ............

Do they or their supporters realize that some of the (unwanted) children
they hope to force these women to breed are not going to follow their
dictates

and could become or remain poor and require public assistance and
food stamps that they keep slicing with their Social Darwinism
survival-of-the-fittest budgets?

Do they make any sense to anyone other than themselves?

11. Fuck Rand Paul!

13. Rand Paul is an idiot. I don't like his father either, but at least his father is not a complete

idiot.

[jtuck004]

14. The words "stain" and "rand paul" should always accompany one another. n/t

[blackspade]

15. Paul needs to STFU.

Idiot

[Beacool]

16. Rand is desperate to maintain his relevance in the GOP's presidential clown car.

Inside Rand Paul's downward spiral
He was once a serious contender for the White House. Now, his campaign is fighting over what went wrong.

Rand Paul, once seen as a top-tier contender, finds his presidential hopes fading fast as he grapples with deep fundraising and organizational problems that have left his campaign badly hobbled.

Interviews with more than a dozen sources close to the Kentucky senator, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity, painted a picture of an underfunded and understaffed campaign beaten down by low morale.

Has Rand Paul stalled?

A year ago, Rand Paul, the libertarian-minded senator from Kentucky, was among the leading potential candidates in the GOP presidential race, topping at least three national polls in spring and early summer.

Now, he is stuck in seventh place in the RealClearPolitics (RCP) national average, with less than 6 percent support.
The Kentuckian’s campaign, once the subject of intense media interest, is struggling for attention, and faces the danger that it could fizzle.

“There are so many new entrants into this sweepstake that I think he has been overshadowed by all the attention given to every new declaration of candidacy,” said Ross Baker, a professor of political science at Rutgers University. “I think he, and his message, are getting lost — and it shows the dangers of a too-early announcement.”
