Dick Morris Calls Ron Paul ‘The Most Liberal, Radical Left-Wing Person’ To Run For President In The Last 50 Years

video
» 124 comments

Dick Morris appeared on Wednesday’s Eric Bolling-hosted O’Reilly Factor and made a bold proclamation that Republican frontrunner Ron Paul was “the most liberal, radical left-wing person to run for president in the United States in the last 50 years.”

RELATED: Dick Morris: Ron Paul Is By Far The Most Liberal 2012 Republican

Earlier this week, the Fox News commentator had said the plucky Libertarian was a “nut” and the most liberal of all the Republican candidates, but went the extra mile yesterday by grandiosely claiming Paul to be the “most liberal person” to run in for President in the last half-century.

Bolling asked Morris why Paul was polling so well.

“I think it’s horrible!” Morris exclaimed. “Nobody else wants to dismantle the military, including Obama, but he does. Even Obama doesn’t want to repeal the Patriot Act but he does! Even Obama doesn’t say that we caused 9-11 and brought it on ourselves. But Ron Paul does. Even Obama doesn’t want to legalize heroin and cocaine, but Ron Paul does. This guy is no conservative. This guy is a ultra, ultra left-wing radical.”

But does Morris’s claim that Paul is the most liberal person in modern times to run for president check out?

Here is Ron Paul’s ideological chart, courtesy of OnTheIssues.org, and as you can see, Paul lands in the high right section of the chart, indicating a libertarian economic stance and conservative positions on social issues.

According to On The Issues’ ideology chart, President Obama is considerably more liberal than Paul.

Dennis Kucinich, who ran in 2004 and 2008, is to the left of Obama on many issues, here’s his chart:

And, if we were to do an honest assessment of the most liberal, mainstream person to ever run for president in the last 50 years, the 2008 Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney might be the closest.

    Wasn’t Dick Morris the idiot who paid for prostitutes on the 90′s with personal checks?? Morris is not only a slimeball… he’s an ignorant slimeball!!

    which is why he was hired by Fox ;)

    This is the problem with labels of all kinds. Right, left , center does not really apply to any of the candidates or the sitting president. If you think of yourself in such terms than you will never be happy with any of the choices.

    He was hired by Fox for the same reason MSNBC hired Al Sharpton – who owes over $1 million in taxes – to talk about how the 1% should pay more taxes.  Yeah they are both ingnorant slimeballs, and are both hypocrits - but they produce ratings.  Or at least Dick Morris does, anyway.

    It is amazing to me how afraid the Republican establishment is afraid of Ron Paul.  I have for many years bought into the republican stance that they wanted to move the country back towards the original intent of the constitution..  Along comes Ron Paul who preaches nothing more than a constitutional government and the Republican establishment response is to wage war on his campaign…  somewhat instructive as to what modern republicanism stands for, something, anything, other than constitutional governance….  I am not necessarily a Ron Paul supporter as I do not think a Paul presidency could be effective in moving measures through congress as he would be opposed by both sides and his efforts IMO would be thwarted.  Having said that I firmly believe more in his message than I do in any other of the noise coming out of either DC or the republican campaigns…

    The propaganda war against Paul will find some traction… just enough ensure mainstream dominance over the right triumvirate (mainstream, evangelical, libertarian).  The big problem for the right is the long term cost of such eager cannibalism. The right needs a servant as able as Samuel.

    Seriously, what do you expect this lap dog to say, Paul is a conservative? First, FAUX News parades Chuck to ridicule the field. Now they have to ask the great Dick Morris to slam Paul so their zombies do not vote for him by default. Roger is getting desperate. This will be my last post for a while.

    Doesn’t Dick Morris and Fox News understand that most Republicans these days are Ron Paul supporters? The kind of agenda embraced by Paul is the heart and soul of the Tea Party and the radical evangelical conservatives that are all that’s left in the modern GOP. Doesn’t seem very smart business sense for Fox to bash Ron Paul when he is on the cusp of victory in the influential Iowa caucuses. Ron Paul has a fast track to the GOP nomination, for crying out loud!  www.sunstateactivist.org

    Can’t you see that Fox News is just manipulating you and technically making their decision your decision? Does it really make sense that Ron Paul is more liberal than Obama? DO YOU THINK THE MEANING OF THE WORD LIBERAL IS BEING CHANGED? Not to mean left-leaning but to be an all-encompassing insult for everything said commentor dislikes?

    Ron Paul isn’t liberal by any stretch of the imagination, Fox News has really met their match. If he wins, what will be the point of Fox News anymore? They’re technically useless, they hype all these nonsense/loser candidates, then Ron Paul comes along, the only one who has any morality or somewhat clear thinking, and they attack him relentlessly.

    Kind of convenient that Fox calls anyone they attack liberal now… sort of sad that their viewers don’t pick up on this.

    Dick Morris is worthy of his first name.  He defaults to big government and control, because that gives his paymasters more money with which to pay him.  My guess is that Adolph Hitler and the Nazis, excepting their treatment of the Jews, would have been over there on the Left with McKinney, Kucinich and Obama. The Patriot Act takes away liberty and gives power to the government in ways that violate the Constitution.  The National Defense Authorization Act takes away liberty and gives power to the government in ways that violate the Constitution.  Morris has no problem with that.  Obama has no problem with that. 

    Ron Paul defaults to small government and liberty.  Ron Paul gives a speech saying that they give Obama the power right to impose martial law.

    Morris deliberately confuses classic Liberal – more freedom, less governmental control – with modern usage of liberal, which means giving money to supporters to advance political control.  If you fall for that, you are either a fool or a fellow traveler.

    Ron Paul is left leaning in the same way one could say Dick Cheney  s a liberal. Ron Paul just prefers  to get the federal government out of the drug classification and war business. He has no problem if the the states make smoking marijuana a death sentence crime or want to give you life for possessing it. Whatever the states want to do on drugs is fine with him.I guess I just don’t see why that is considered to be
    libertarian. Just because you break up state power into fifty entities instead
    of one,

    Where do you guys dig up these headlines? Ron Paul is definitely not liberal or leftwing, but he is certainly the most radical candidate of this whole motley crew. Pauls’ problem is that he’s surrounded himself with bigots, racists and the dregs of society for many years. He is probably not a nasty person himself, just a blind, dispassionate extremist who has very little understanding of how the world and the human heart works. The Republican Party is imploding because of all its internal contradictions. Too much pandering to too many diverse groups. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men cannot put the Republican Party together again, at least not for the next four years.

    Fox News’ modus operandi: slap a label on anyone you don’t like, and then repeat n’ rinse as often as possible. Just as Obama is NOT a socialist, Ron Paul is NOT a liberal – but anyone with an ounce of intelligence should be able to resolve that Fox News is a crook organization, which only seeks to further its own agenda, be it to the detriment of the country.

    The labels people use in politics today are evolving. Like the line in “Princess Bride,” “I do not think it means what you think it means.” The term conservative used to mean that some did not want change. Today it means someone that wants to blow up what we have and put us back in some utopian dream. Actually, those types are radical fundamentalist, not conservatives. Similarly, Liberals used to mean people who advocated increased social structure. Now many political hacks are using the term to label anyone with whom they disagree. The most absurd case I have witnessed is this labeling of Ron Paul. Not just because Dr. Paul is far more conservative than his primary opponents, but also that the term liberal is so far from what his positions can be objectively judged. I guess a new definition of liberal is anyone that does not support the industrial military complex.

    I still have no idea what that link had to do with the topic that was discussed or how it made it into your comment.

    orris was also the guy who used his Miss Cleo-like powers to write the book “Condi vs. Hillary: The race for 2008,” so he rarely knows what he’s talking about.

    Morris the Hack is trying to blame the bigotry his own party members on the opposiotn..
    The rightwing loved Ron Paul in 2010, when his civil right-opposing son was running for Senate and they considered him a teabagger god. They ignored his hate when he was of use to them.
    It’s only now, when he’s threatening the ascension of Mittens, that they suddenly have a problem with his vile, racist past.

    Those charts are completely insane. Obama is nowhere close to Kuccinich when it comes to domestic and foreign policy. For example, look at these scores.

    “Strongly Favors
    topic 16:Stricter limits on political campaign funds
    (-5 points on Economic scale)”

    “Strongly Favors
    topic 14:The Patriot Act harms civil liberties
    (+5 points on Social scale)”

    “Favors
    topic 17:US out of Iraq & Afghanistan

    (+2 points on Social scale)”

    “Strongly Favors
    topic 11:Make taxes more progressive

    (-5 points on Economic scale)”

    Forget about what he has said, look at what he has done. These are erroneous and consequently, skew him more to the left than he really is. A person pursuing a neocon foreign policy, extending Bush tax cuts, adopting the 90′s GOP healthcare position, is not a “hardcore liberal.” Glen Greenwald would be offended.

    Although I appreciate your response, having supported the republican party for over 30 years, I would disagree with the simplicity of your words. Yes, conservatives have at times wanted to do little more than maintain the structure that was in place, but as the country became more liberal the republican party began the practice of fighting the so called liberal agenda by arguing that much of the programs and initiatives being championed by the democrats had no constitutional authority.

    It is funny that you use the word utopian dream in describing the far right, as that is pretty much the same way that I would describe progressive democrats, people who understand that many things in our society are broken and feel that it is up to intellectuals and scholarly types to work through the government to fix society which can only be done through consolidation of power and through usurpation of the freedoms of the American individuals and our economy. The funny thing that progressives don’t understand is that the more they fix the more they break. Freedom and free economies have done more to raise people out of poverty than any governmental program ever could, but progressives refuse to see this. They feel freedom only leads to anarchy and disorder, and that profit only leads to wealth and wealth in inherently unfair

    Consider this;

    “Senator Obama’s section of the Senate home page still features his support of the Global Poverty Act, a hugely expensive foreign aid program. We are told that the act is “supported by liberals and Christian conservatives.”

    Senator Obama explains: Our commitment to the global economy must extend beyond trade agreements that are more about increasing corporate profits than about helping workers and small farmers everywhere.

    Let’s look at the Global Poverty Act in the context of the 25 years leading up to the Obama presidency. With the collapse of the Soviet Empire, followed by the freest international trade regime in history (tariffs worldwide at about 5%, according to a Newsweek editorial), the world saw a huge surge in prosperity. An astounding three to four hundred million people in China alone rose out of poverty during that period along with hundreds of millions more around the world. India is well on its way to adding another 400 million and then China, India, and the rest of the third world could easily combine for another billion on top of all that over the next several decades. This explosion of spreading wealth might be called the greatest human accomplishment ever. Liberal ideology had little to do with this greatest human accomplishment so most liberals have little to say about it. In fact, they don’t actually even see much of it as it falls outside their sphere of interest and influence. Not because of ill will but because of ideological blinders, they remain essentially incognizant of the greatest human accomplishment, the greatest reduction of poverty ever, happening right before their very eyes. They focus their vision instead on those billions still mired at the bottom. Those who rise from the bottom rise out of their field of vision and become irrelevant to their calculations. Liberals stick doggedly to their own solutions which, though moral (in a sense), have historically proved virtually useless.”

    - Ledbetter, Mark David “Globocop”

    The founders democracies, republics, and they understood human nature and the nature of power they had studied all the republics that came before them and were well aware of why they fell… They studied what was then contemporary Europe and understood the lust of nations and empire building, we today do not understand our constitution because we as a people are to lazy to study our history and world history. They did not write a plan to govern our government so much as in our constitution they wrote a plan to contend with the nature of the human man especially with the nature of how power has a corrupting influence on man. The Progressive blinder is no better for our country than is the Republican blinder, neither side has a real plan for our future as our president now asks for an extension of the debt limit to $16.39 Trillion… up close to $11 trillion in just 11 short years… Both sides are just laughable.

    Yes I agree.  Foxnews really likes what Morris is saying, he was on last night and they had him on Fox and Friends this morning saying the same thing.  I expect they will have him on daily until the Iowa caucus.

    where was my comment in there?  Did I write that article?

    Uh… guess that I did not read the whole thread, I must have missed something or maybe I missed a lot.. just disregard my comment as it was not directed at anything that you may or may not have said in regard to the president.

    Oh no! Just looked at that picture and realize someone swallowed Dick Morris!

    I think they invented the word ‘sniveling’ when Dick Morris first opened his mouth.

    He did call the pres and let a prostitute listen in just to impress the prostitute. That led him to being fired. He’s a loser with absolutely no judgement. Looks sweaty and nervous on TV too.
