Rush Limbaugh’s Fake Ron Paul Ad Will Not Be A Hit With Ron Paul Fans

At this point, Rush Limbaugh‘s offensive against Rep. Ron Paul has become something of a regular feature on his program. So it’s not entirely surprising that Limbaugh’s anti-Paulism has seeped into his commercials, too– or at least in parody. This week, Limbaugh debuted a “pro” Rep. Paul ad that featured the “candidate” arguing “the greatest danger is not from Iran, it’s from us overreacting.” Surely this will go over well with Paul fans.

“Ron Paul has recorded a commercial for us,” Limbaugh joked, before a commercial played featuring a fairly good (albeit a little caricatured) voice of Ron Paul arguing, “the greatest danger is not from Iran, its from us overreacting. Yhy are we flying drones over there–we are the problem here!” Followed by an anchor delivering the punchline: “Vote Ron Paul: Because Newt Gingrich is too zany and weird.”
