In reply to the discussion: Assange Says Rand Paul Is The Only Hope For America [View all]brush
(53,765 posts)29. Assange just lost me
Talk about irony he of all information is so misinformed about US culture, politics, and apparently our politicians.
Rand Paul is as much a closet racist (but not really that much in the closet), and therefore not suitable, as his father, and this is who Assange thinks is the savior or the repugs?
Guess being isolated in an embassy leads to forgetfulness of such minor details as racism and sexism if someone claims to be anti-war.
Under Paul ff we were fortunate enough to get out of the wars and drone campaigns we'd still have his positions on race and civil rights laws good for the Afghans and drone victims (a good thing) but not so good for African-Americans, Latino-Americans and women.
Nah! Assange your opinion on this stinks.
