‘It’s Rather Silly’: Ron Paul Responds to Supporter’s Rick Perry Sex Ad Controversy

If you haven’t yet heard about the now-infamous “Have you had sex with Rick Perry” advertisement, you may want to catch yourself up. To summarize: Self-proclaimed Ron Paul supporter Robert Morrow placed a disparaging ad targeting Texas Gov. Rick Perry (and his sexual history) in the Austin Chronicle.
On Friday morning, GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul appeared on Fox News where he was asked to comment on the controversy.
When Fox’s Martha MacCallum asked, “What‘s your campaign’s response to this coming from one of your supporters,” he was dismissive, claiming that the issue was of minor importance and that it doesn’t deserve the coverage it is being given. He said:
“Well, I don‘t know how something like that qualifies as a question on national TV as if it’s something serious…it speaks for itself…I don’t know anything about it.
“This is news to me…for me to address that would give it too much credibility…it’s rather silly. How could this be a significant issue in a presidential race?”
As the interview progressed, MacCallum pushed a bit harder, asking, ”Would you encourage this person [Morrow] to stop saying he’s one of your supporters.” Paul’s response:
“My first impression would be, why pay attention to it? Why give it credibility? There’s a lot of things going on like that in a lot of campaigns…This whole thing doesn’t invite me or incite me…”
Paul says he has never discussed the advertisement among his campaign staff, nor has he ever asked anybody who Morrow is. Although, he never outright says so, his words seem to indicate that he doesn’t know Morrow personally. Watch the interview, below (the ad controversy is addressed around 6:00):
As an extra bonus, be sure to catch audio from “The Steve Gill Show’s” interview with Morrow. You’ll hear his claims (which are somewhat graphic) that a source told him that Rick Perry once abused cocaine, among other bizarre accusations. Listen below:

I can actually imagine him admitting he’s wrong about something if it were proven that he was wrong. Do people no longer have any appreciation for genuine people anymore?

That is why the MSM does their best to make RP seem to be kooky and unelectable, because he threatens their little crap game.

Ron Paul, who I personally have met and spoken with at length, is NOTHING but a class act. He will NEVER attack another candidate personally. He will shred their ideas, or policies, in a very tactful respectful tutorial way, but never makes it personal. If this country doesn’t wake up and vote for this man in landslide fashion, then they are going to DESERVE what is planned, and coming for them.
You see. It doesn‘t matter if it’s Ohmamma, Cain, Perry, Bachmann, or Romney. It is a lose/lose situation. I pray that you wake up, and quit being led around by the nose by these phony patriots, that act like they care about you. They don’t.

Posted on August 19, 2011 at 3:32pmYour comment presumes we are currently preventing or intend to prevent Iran from finalizing the creation of their own nuclear arms arsenal.
Iran, essentially unaffected by sanctions and dismissive of western warnings, is merrily chugging right along with their nuclear enrichment and missile development programs. Indeed, Iran is unabated and apparently acting with absolute impunity as a primary exporter of terrorism. Iran also defiantly continues to fund and arm our enemy in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems Iran is unconcerned that America’s military might certainly long ago should have and still could be, brought to bear on them.
Granted Iraq and Afghanistan do bracket Iran on their east and western borders, which could be a huge militarily advantage to us, if we ever decide to actually stop their nuclear weapons development by striking them militarily.
Do you see that happening or is Ron Paul correct by default?

Posted on August 19, 2011 at 2:19pmRegarding economics, America should listen to Congressman Ron Paul, MD, Lt Col, USAF, Ret., very carefully because he’s correct.
Except for Dr. Paul, politicians avoid the real cause of our economic problems, which is not the debt ceiling but the Federal Reserve. It’s caused a century of turmoil including the great depression and a 95% devaluation of our once ‘good as gold’ dollar, now replaced by fiat Federal Reserve notes.[1]
As Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy, Dr. Paul is more knowledgeable about monetary policy than any other member of Congress. He is absolutely correct about how to solve the economic problems threatening our jobs, our children’s future and the very survival of America as a free nation!
We don’t want to waste years with a detailed audit of the Federal Reserve that accomplishes nothing. We want to abolish the Federal Reserve and return to economic sanity!

“By not coming out and saying the ad was inappropiate he is tacitly approving of such behavior.”
I would disagree. Rather, by lending any credit to it, he would give the story more importance than it’s worth (and a few more days of “Ron Paul supporter slings mud at Perry” headlines). To Paul, it simply doesn’t matter, and he points out it’s silly that the MSM (which honestly now includes FOX) even reports on it.
This is unfortunately why he’s seen as an “extremist” in politics; he actually puts importance on the issues that others only pay lip service to (namely, big government and our finances), while the MSM and other candidates go on and on about social issues that Paul would rather leave to individuals and their local communities.

* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.

* Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.
* End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.

If you want to see a sleezy, slick politician, look to the establishment drone Rick Perry. That guy isn’t going to push for a new monetary system or a constituional, sane foreign policy of non-intervention. He’s just a politician that is tapping into the current political climate.
Your boy Perry chaired Al Gore’s Presidential campaign in Texas. He went over to Bilderburg a few months ago and impressed power brokers in banking, media, academia, and govt.
Ron Paul has been warning about all of this for decades. He predicted the bankruptcy of Freddie/Fannie, major banks, and the credit crash years in advance. He predicted what would happen in Iraq and Afghanistan. He predicted high inflation and skyrocketing prices for gold and silver when ole’ Glenn Beck was still in the dark.
What were establishment Republican drones like Bush and Perry doing over the last decade? They were cheerleading record high house prices and our crackpot foreign policy. Where has Rick Perry been on the issue of commodity money and the Fed. Res. until recently? He only attacks Bernanke individually, but notice that he doesn’t attack the idea of paper money and central banking in principle.

Paul is technically a libertarian, not a conservative (referring to social matters specifically). His believe is simple: less government, more individual freedom. If that freedom includes non-Christian ideas, so be it; leave it to the individuals or the local communities and states.

A private citizen, who came forward to claim responsibility put out the ad. Whether you like the ad or not, at least the individual had the guts to take responsibility. I don’t remember seeing such outrage when the Tea Party PAC in CA put out the video of the female candidate as a stripper, apparently working for a gain. As Ron Paul indicates this issue should not receive any attention and is a waste of time.

Posted on August 19, 2011 at 4:07pmMost definitely. Since the Bilderberg/George Soros group controls the media and they are afraid of Ron Paul, they are trying to make the media have him sound unelectable. Wake up people, the reason that you will not hear that much about him is because the powers that be don’t want us to know about him. Be intelligent, do your research, figure out where you stand, don’t let the media do it for you. Gone are the days of responsible journalism. Ron Paul is intelligent and the most patriotic candidate on the block. He wants to get back to using the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION as a backbone for our government and media says he is unelectable. He thinks that the federal government should stay out of personal lives and he is called a nutjob. He wants to end the federal reserve because our founding fathers were against centralized banking and the media ignores him. We see where the current system is headed and yet, all we hear about is republicans vs democrats. Are any of the other candidates suggesting any real solutions for our country or are they presenting us with more rhetoric and “business as usual” politics. Please take a serious look at Ron Paul. You will never agree with a candidate 100%, but God knows we can not continue doing the same things and expect any real change. Ron Paul has my vote.

Posted on August 19, 2011 at 4:08pmRon Paul is exactly what our country needs. They can call him an isolationist all they want, but the truth is, our country is in trouble in so many ways. Ron Paul would ensure we stop meddling in everyone else’s affairs, we are not the worlds police!! stop fighting wars we have no business being involved in, stop throwing money at anyone who “needs it”, and focus on our country and getting it financially and politically stable again. The kicker is, he would do it all LEGALLY, by following our Constitution, unlike so many of our other politicians who are re-writing laws and policies as they see fit. I wish that everyone would check him out: listen to some of his speeches, read up on his views. He will not disappoint.

Posted on August 19, 2011 at 5:08pmThese Scientology-like Ron Paul cult members will go to any extreme to install their troll in the White House. In 2008 Ron Paul’s supporters targeted members of FOX News for harassment pelting Sean Hannity with ice and snowballs in New Hampshire for a supposed slight to their “savior”.
Ron Paul is a new-age Xenu and his minions have been subjected to Scientology like mind control, in fact every one of his supporters I’ve met as a poll worker for eleven years have been in a trance-like state.

I don’t know what “tower7Fema’s” intentions are. I haven’t read a great deal of his/her stuff.
Here is the reality of the situation. People who call for limited Govt., ending the Fed, and activities related to that are being described as the new domestic terrorists. So welcome to the club “TeaPartyConservative”.
They are already trying to blame the economic collapse on the “Tea Party” as it is.
The “Tea Party” was started by RP supporters in 2007, and then was co-opted by Fox News, GB and Palin and the gang. It started as a pure entity, with good intentions and a solid platform that included BRINGING THE TROOPS HOME, not starting more wars, like they are preparing to do with Syria, and Iran.
Wake up and smell the propaganda.

Posted on August 19, 2011 at 8:11pmI am from TX, in the Austin area. The ad is a result of Perry’s strong reputation for this sort of behavior. I agree the ad is tacky but that‘s where it’s coming from. True or false this unofficial reputation does exist. There are a lot of people in the Austin area that have seen or heard (friend of a friend) of such behavior regarding Perrty. It’s more than just the typical type of rumors though, it’s prevalent enough to seem to be founded in some real truth.
Regardless, Perry is a lousy governor and will make an even worse president.

Its understandable how you might come to this conclusion. But, if you have taken the time to listen to him speak at length, I would hope that you could come to the conclusion that he is not sleazy. You will not catch him flip-flopping. You will not hear him weasel his way around a difficult question. What you will hear is an honest man trying to educate people in order to convince them that his way is the right way. I don’t agree with him on all the issues. However, I do think that he is a man of integrity and in no way deserves to be lumped in with all the other “politicians”.

Posted on August 19, 2011 at 11:08pmTOWER7FEMACAMP. I saw video of Beck talking about one of Ron’s Followers to be a terrorist. He Said Ron Paul Followers are “tapping into something real” something beck said he had been reporting on for some time. This video was posted in 2007. People, even Beck learns something everyday, and I am sure his knowledge has grown and his perspective has changed. Although I have been a BIG beck supporter for years, I am disappointed he has been endorsing global elite-campaign financed Neo-Cons and not a real, anti-establishment, constitutional, American that does not put global interests above America’s interests. He understands the Military / Industrial Complex is raping the tax-payers under the guise of “spreading Democracy”. He understands WE DO NOT have the authority to govern sovereign nations, no matter how “crazy” myself, you or your next door neighbor think they are. If Iran was a Direct threat to us, He WOULD destroy them. Our government was to provide for the common DEFENSE, not OFFENSE !!!! The sooner people get this through their brains the better off we will be.

Thanks for the link. Many share your sentiments regarding Congressman Ron Paul, MD, Lt Col, USAF, Ret., indeed much like the Tea Party his followers founded, Dr. Paul is often either unjustly ignored or much maligned by the media, and those who perhaps do not truly have the best interests of our nation at heart.
Have enjoyed reading many of your posts, keep up the good work!
Also appreciate the encouragement, have actually been a member of the “club” for awhile now. America is waking up to the urgent need to return to the Constitution to solve most of our biggest problems, as it is our first, best and last hope to restore limited constitutional government and economic sanity.

Regarding your request for an apology for “accusing me of making up the FACT that Glenn Beck called Ron Paul supporters terrorists …“ and ”Is there anything else you don’t know and want to learn?”
No, and don’t be so defensive and condescending. Considering the abhorrent image you post with, could you be playing at being a bit of a provocateur?
If you’re really worried you might be interned at a FEMA prison camp, why post your views? You are aware that your supposed anonymity can be cracked by government computers in about… ohhh, a 10th of a second? But I digress.
My post was only a request for you to provide a source. That hardly merits calling for an apology.
Your post neglected to mention that Glenn said this about fringe elements, long ago during a prior life at CNN. Context matters! Certainly it would have been thoughtful. But then most thoughtful people don’t watch CNN do they? So forgive me if I was unfamiliar with Glenn’s old comment.
This may surprise to you, but unless you like being lied to, there’s no reason to watch CNN. Except of course, to enjoy watching CNN liberal propagandists being knocked about by blinding rain and high winds of a hurricane, or other such similar dramatic events that they foolishly but quite humorously, choose to cover by endangering themselves.
Too bad they don’t use that courage to just report the truth.
Thanks for replying. Have fun at camp.

If you should happen to be a vet, particularly of the variant respectfully regarded as a “snake eater”, thank you for your outstanding service! Also thank you for the link clarifying Glenn’s past comment.
Given the unique spelling of your moniker, it could also be a recent reference to a CD by Vitali of Guatemala entitled, “De Opreso Liber Soli Deo Glori.” A philosophical exploration of life, that I personally know is undertaken by many a snake eater. Guatemala of course, is also an area common to snakes and perhaps those who covertly eat them, where one might also happen upon Vitali’s music.
For those who do not know, DE OPPRESSO LIBER (Latin for: To Liberate The Oppressed) is the motto of the United States Army Special Forces.
Should you enjoy dinning on the occasional serpent as a culinary delight from time to time, I would be interested in your thoughts on a prior post of mine here at The blaze regarding an article entitled “Report: Jihadists Could be Plotting to Bomb U.S. Military Funerals” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/report-jihadists-could-be-plotting-to-bomb-u-s-military-funerals/ (August 19, 2011) to which I posted a reply on August 19, 2011 at 9:14pm, to a comment posted by TimH on august 19, 2011 at 2:53 pm.

Posted on August 23, 2011 at 11:36amGlenn specifically mentions “some of his fringe supporters” may be a bit more “revolutionary” as in the old sense of the word. NOT ALL RP supporters. Their choice of Guy Fox as the one’s whose birthday to celebrate on a “money bomb” was indeed interesting. His report gave some facts about that and other things around the world and posed questions we should consider. I don’t see anything wrong with the report. In this case, some RP supporters perhaps didn’t really listen to the entire segment, took others’ knee jerk reactions about it as their own, or are overly sensitive. In plenty of other talks Glenn has given, he’s supported RP himself–so would he be calling HIMSELF under question too? I think not. Again, key words, people: “SOME of his ”FRINGE” reporters–not all–he didn’t even say it was a majority!
