    Morris: Ron Paul is ‘the most liberal, radical, left-wing person to run for president’

    Ron Paul’s likely strong showing in next week’s Iowa caucus is causing him to take fire from all sides. The latest: Former adviser to Bill Clinton, Fox News Channel’s Dick Morris.

    Morris, in an appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Wednesday, was asked by fill-in host Eric Bolling what he made of Paul’s rise. Morris’ reaction was one of extreme disappointment and caution.

    “I think it’s horrible,” Morris replied. “I think that he is absolutely the most liberal, radical, left-wing person to run for president in the United States in the last 50 years. 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 an ultra, ultra-left-wing radical.”

    Morris said a vote for Paul is the same as a vote for incumbent President Barack Obama because Paul could not win as the nominee.

    “I pray that he doesn’t,” Morris said. “I pray the voters of Iowa recover their senses. Anybody that votes for Ron Paul might as well vote for Obama. There is nobody with any ounce of political sense that believes Ron Paul can defeat Barack Obama.”

      Morris makes a living attacking anyone that challenges the Establishment GOP. Fox News treats Ron Paul like a scary disease.

      Fair and Balanced my arse.

        To me the term deceitful implies some skill at lying --- This is just your common lying trash.

      'Left wing radical'. Still redbaiting we see.

      What does one expect from a corporate hack who supports torture, extrajudicial detention and murder, as well as crimes against humanity/peace and war crimes.

      Do not agree on many points with Ron Paul, but do agree on one thing, the empire has to go. The moneys wasted on it could be put to better use here in the Republic. To borrow from General Smedley Butler, "war is a racket."

      Ron Paul is ultra right wing, a strict libertarian who wants to follow the constitution. He wants to get the the government out of people's lives at all levels, and this includes the Patriot Act and sending troops around the globe in the name of defense.

        Rom Paul is also a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
    • Alex  •  College Station, Texas  •  4 mths ago
      Is anyone else starting to think that the GOP might just rig the election so Ron Paul doesn't win?
      • Charles D 4 mths ago
        Not exactly, but they'll do what they can to stop him. Then, they'll blame his demise on the Democrats.
      • Cracka 4 mths ago
        Conspiracy theories from the small but vocal Ron Paul army. Face it - the guy has zero chance of becoming president
    • Free Thinker  •  4 mths ago
      Based upon votes from 1937 to 2002, out of all 3,320 members of Congress and presidents that served, Ron Paul has the most conservative voting record.

      what is so radical about following the constitution? fox news and the RNC have been taken over by globalist freedom-haters.
    • Dan  •  Aberdeen, Washington  •  4 mths ago
      Dick Morris must think everybody forgot that Obama campaigned on abolishing the patriot act. Dick Morris must think the founding fathers were left wing nuts.

    • Stephen B  •  San Antonio, Texas  •  4 mths ago
      Dick Morris has zero credibility and not just because he works for Faux News. Here is a guy who fed off the Clintons in the good times and switched sides when it became financially advantageous to do so. With a history of cavorting with prostitutes, he doesn't miss an opportunity to criticize the alleged moral failings of others. The opinion of a lying hypocrite merits no attention whatsoever.
    • W  •  Phoenix, Arizona  •  4 mths ago
      This guy is a dummy.. Ron is a fiscal conservative/liberterian/constitutionalist. Just because you don't want wars doesn't make you a liberal, just because you think bad policy caused 911 doesn't make you a liberal and criminalizing drugs is unconstitutional. He is for eventually when possible getting rid of income tax, and reducing the size of this growing ferderal government parasite, now that is true fiscal conservative.

      Ron Paul, liberal? Morris is certainly living up to his (first) name. Paul is the only major candidate in this presidential race who ISN'T a liberal.

      Paul does NOT want to "dismantle the military." That's a plain lie. He simply wants to restrict its use to DEFENSE, not pointless wars that are bankrupting the US financially and morally.

      Paul wants to cut government spending and size by huge amounts. All of the other candidates in both major parties will only increase it.

      Paul is a strict constitutionalist and advocate of individual and states' rights. He supports free speech, gun rights, private property rights (including ownership of your own body, which drug laws deny you), and all the rest. He doesn't support anarchy; he just doesn't believe that people should go to prison for "crimes" that harm no one except the one committing them.

      If you hate freedom and goodness but love endless wars, big government, and the growing police state, then Ron Paul's not your man. For everyone else, RON PAUL 2012!

      What a sad man this DICK morris. He manages to confuse liberty with radicalism. Is it radical to demand privacy and the right to be free? Ron Paul is the man for liberty and the best chance America has at upholding its freedom. All the other candidates are a threat to every individual American citizen democrat or republican

      Constitutionalism is Left Wing now? Then Up is Down, Freedom is slavery, ignorance is bliss and I'm a leprechaun.
    • Bring'EmHome  •  Sacramento, California  •  4 mths ago
      Funny thing about liberals and neocons, they claim to oppose each other but they stand united in their opposition to Ron Paul. And we wonder why nothing ever gets accomplished in government. Two sides of the same coin.
    • Kelli  •  4 mths ago
      What's really scary is that people will listen to this guy. They'll base their opinion of Dr. Paul off of what this guy says. That is why it is so very important to keep flapping your jaws about Ron Paul. Keep talking, folks. Keep talking and posting and supporting. Show the media they can take a hike. Ron Paul 2012! NO MORE WAR.
    • Muchodiablo  •  4 mths ago
      I guess when idiots like Morris speak..it must be true. Ron Paul never said he wants to dismantle the military, HE actually served our country, unlike ANY of the other guys. HE wants a strong militay, a cost effective one, and NO MORE WARS. That is not dismantling... you paid for, scared little weasel...aka Morris.
