Bernie Quigley - Rand Paul and the winged monkeys: Palin 5, Republican Establishment 0

*
Here are excerpts from Bernie Quigley's latest Pundit’s Blog column for The Hill:

Just as the winged monkeys descended from the huge UFO that hovers over Washington to slander and disgrace Sarah Palin when John McCain selected her for VP, MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow insinuates that Tea Party activist Rand Paul is a racist and an extremist in his first TV interview.

Maddow brings the classic old-school trade device of mnemonic slander to her interviews, the same tool used most effectively to reinforce institutionalized racism in the South for 100 years. In an earlier report, for example, she presented as a representative figure of the Tea Party a politician who had solicited a prostitute. She also associated the Tea Party with white extremists, including the fascist group Storm Front, secessionist groups and armed militia, adding that she “wouldn’t accuse the Tea Party of that, but... ”

We are today at a generational shift and will see the passing of Clinton liberals and Krauthammer/Kristol conservatives going off the cliff together like Sherlock Homes and Professor Moriarty. As the Tea Party event in Nashville a few months ago, featuring Palin as head speaker, suggested a political folk revival in the American heartland, Rand Paul is the rough-hewn folk hero rising from that event. And no question, Palin is the Grizzly Momma of this group, the majority of whom are women.

Kristol and Krauthammer can no longer sit back with a smirk and depend on the winged monkeys of the MSM to demolish the opposition for them. In NY-23, in Massachusetts, in Virginia, in the Texas primary and now in Kentucky we have seen the lineup of Cheney, Gingrich, Rove, Bush I and Bush II (by proxy) line up against Palin. The score so far: Palin 5, Republican Establishment 0.

Defending Rand Paul is a man who knows him well from being the #2 head of the GOP in Kentucky, attorney Marcus Carey. Marcus, who predicted the mass media would turn on Paul after the primaries... at Blue Grass Bulletin, insists that Paul is a patriot, and a statesman, saying, “Rand Paul is a bright individual who wants to switch from ‘dumbing down’ the electorate to having intelligent discussions about constitutional issues and is willing to take this approach in order to be a game changer.”

Marcus Carey, who has witnessed Rand Paul’s actions and character for many years in Kentucky politics, says Rand has taken the high road, instead of continuing the typical political path of ‘dumbing down of the electorate and that he is elevating political discourse discussions to those of principled constitutional principles and welcoming all American citizens to participate in their government of and by and for the people.

A new Rasmussen Reports poll of Likely Voters in Kentucky, show Paul earning 59% of the vote, while Conway picks up 34%. So the mass media has their work cut out for them!

And on the Laura Ingraham Show today, Paul clarified remarks he made on Maddow's MSNBC (Moonbat Sycophantic Neosocialist Barack Channel) show last night:
