Rand-Aid for Israel
Teahadist Sen. Rand "Sprinklerhead" Paul might want to prepare for incoming bombs from the American Likud after his off-message comment that we should cut aid to Israel. Chuck Kraphammer, Wee Willie Kristol, Jonah "Doughy Pantload" Goldberg, et. al.: are your pudgy little fists clenched in rage?
Sprinklerhead's apostasy highlights a rift in the far right between the neocons / social conservatives, for whom Israel (and specifically the Likud Party) can do no wrong, and the libertarians and paleoconservatives, who have both fiscally conservative and anti-Semitic roots. Let's see how this latest kerfuffle plays out on the far right.
