Rand Paul Hits A New Low By Begging People On The Internet For Dirt On Hillary Clinton
Rand Paul is soliciting information regarding the Clinton Foundation’s acceptance of contributions from foreign governments in his latest move to cast doubt on the former secretary of state’s candidacy.In his speeches, he has promised some mystery scandal that will destroy Hillary Clinton’s campaign. When pressed for details, Paul said nothing. The begging for dirt on Hillary Clinton on his campaign website suggested that he is open to any crazy unsubstantiated right-wing conspiracy theory.
“Do you have additional information about the Clinton Foundation accepting foreign contributions?” a page on Paul’s campaign website reads. Users can then enter their first and last names, along with their ZIP code, email address and the information they have. The form shared by Paul on Sunday via Twitter did not appear to include a secure HTTPS protocol.

Ron Paul Steers Paranoid Gun Lovers to Militia Groups in Right-Wing Propaganda Flick
'Midnight Ride' suggests the only solution to preserve civil liberties is to join armed militia groups.
Ron Paul and other right-wing figures will appear in a new anti-Semitic film encouraging viewers to join the Oath Keepers gun group to stop the threat of martial law.
Paul, the former Republican congressman and presidential candidate, will star in “Midnight Ride,” directed by 9/11 truther James Jaeger, reported Right Wing Watch.
Jaeger is a longtime supporter of Paul – the father of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a GOP presidential candidate
Paul has previously appeared in other films by Jaeger, including “Fiat Empire,” “Original Intent,” “Spoiler,” and “Molon Labe.”
Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes and top supporter Elias Alias will appear in the film alongside Paul, gun lobbyist Larry Pratt, extremist former sheriff Richard Mack, and apocalyptic preacher Chuck Baldwin.
The movie ties recent cases of police brutality to a “globalist” plot to impose martial law on Americans – and suggests the only solution to preserve civil liberties is to join armed militia groups.
The film — which is based on the book “Tyranny Out of Necessity,” by Edwin Vieira Jr. – also warns that U.S. monetary policy will trigger a worldwide economic collapse that will lead to the eventual enslavement of millions.
“The power elite is getting ready for a war – not a war on drugs or even a war on terror, but a war to protect themselves,” the narrator says. “Yes, they are the ones in terror – in terror because of their own deeds.”
Alias praised the film as a “very classy showcase” for the Oath Keepers and their ideals – including the “Ten Orders We Will Not Obey,” a list of dark fantasies about martial law, forced disarmament, and concentration camps.
The Oath Keepers, who helped fund the film, claim their membership is made up largely of former and active-duty law enforcement and military personnel who vow not to obey or enforce any laws they deem to be uncons utional.
They have taken part in armed demonstrations at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada and the Sugar Pine Mining Claim in Oregon, as well as armed patrols in Ferguson, Missouri.
Jaeger’s eponymous research ins ute serves as a clearinghouse for anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, blaming Jews for the Holocaust and accusing them of child murders.

Rand Paul, serial panderer: 5 major flip-flops that reveal his brazen hypocrisy
http://www.salon.com/2015/05/21/rand...talking_about/
Boutons,
Any reason you haven't mentioned him and Ron Wyden blocking the Patriot Act?
ter McGee
no reason. Rand's filibuster is look-at-me grand-standing, tying to separate his Klown act from the other umpteen Repug Klowns. Same Klown act Krazy Kruz's Asshole-I-Am filibuster, but just as useless.
If Rand were President he wouldn't, he couldn't do a ing thing to restrain the der-Heimat-Security/NSA/CIA/FBI/militarized-police-surveillance state, and he knows it.
Fox News includes Donald Trump in its poll — but not Rand Paul
http://theweek.com/speedreads/557730...-not-rand-paul
Except that him, Wyden, and that new guy Dem from NM blocked all of McConnels attempts at short extension through Unanimous consent which may allow the Patriot Act to not be extended unless a Rand gets a vote on bulk collection.
But then again, I actually pay attention to the political process. I can understand how this might be confusing to you.
ter McGee
Rand is gonna lose this fight in the long run (probably as early as next week), but I have a lot of respect for what him and Wyden have tried to pull off here... hopefully there will be a time where more representatives join them and we can put this orwellian bull behind us.
Surprise, Surprise: Rand Paul Has A Fake Thomas Jefferson Quote Problem
Kentucky senator and Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul’s first two books contain several statements falsely attributed to Thomas Jefferson and other historical figures, Buzzfeed reported. [3]
Records from the Thomas Jefferson Foundation indicate that “there is no evidence” Jefferson was responsible for five statements Paul included in his work, and that two other statements were taken out of context.
For example, Paul claimed to cite Jefferson while criticizing the Patriot Act in his 2011 book The Tea Party Goes to Washington.
“This sort of invasiveness is also precisely the reason we have a Second Amendment protecting our right to keep and bear arms,” he wrote at the time. “Or as Jefferson wrote ‘The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.'”
But according to the Jefferson Foundation, [4] “this quotation has not been found in any of the writings of Thomas Jefferson,” though it is allegedly often paired with the phrase, “No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms,” which is taken from his draft of the Virginia state cons ution.
Paul explains his opposition to the Affordable Care Act in the same book in part by stating, “When Thomas Jefferson wrote that a ‘government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have,’ he could have easily been referencing Obamacare.”
The foundation noted [5] that, while the quote has appeared in print as far back as 1953, it was not attributed to Jefferson — erroneously — until 2005.
“Neither this quotation nor any of its variant forms has been found in the writings of Thomas Jefferson,” the foundation stated, adding that it “became a popular saying among Republican politicians” after being copyrighted in 1957 by the General Features Corporation.
According to Buzzfeed, Paul also mischaracterized a statement by Benjamin Franklin in not only that book, but his follow-up, Government Bullies.
“Who’s to say the Tea Party won’t become the government’s next target under the PATRIOT Act?” Paul stated in the first book. “Benjamin Franklin once wrote, ‘They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety,’ and Americans who continue to support uncons utional intrusions into the private lives of their fellow citizens will inevitably learn the same lesson.”
But, as NPR reported this past March, [6] Franklin’s words are frequently taken out of context, since he was writing in support of defense spending and taxation in a dispute between Pennsylvania lawmakers and relatives of the Penn family, the “proprietary family of the Pennsylvania colony.”
“The legislature was trying to tax the Penn family lands to pay for frontier defense during the French and Indian War,” Brookings Ins ute senior fellow Benjamin Wittes told NPR. “And the Penn family kept instructing the governor to veto. Franklin felt that this was a great affront to the ability of the legislature to govern. And so he actually meant purchase a little temporary safety very literally. The Penn family was trying to give a lump sum of money in exchange for the General Assembly’s acknowledging that it did not have the authority to tax it.”
The senator has also attributed the following statement to George Washington: “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force … Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.” However, editors at the Yale Book of Quotations have stated[7] that there is no evidence that Washington ever made the “undoubtedly apocryphal” quote.
Paul has come under criticism for his sourcing before. MSNBC host Rachel Maddowridiculed him on-air in October 2013 [8] after portions of one of his speeches appeared to have been copied from the Wikipedia page for the film Gattaca.
He later blamed the criticism on “haters,” [9] without mentioning Maddow by name.

wombat hair Rand Paul LIAR, fraud, front seat in the Repug Klown Kar
One of those diehards is a man called Jack "Southern Avenger" Hunter, author of "John Wilkes Booth Was Right," and former chairman of the Charleston, South Carolina chapter of the extreme-right League of the South.
More importantly, Hunter is a close associate of Senator Rand Paul, the presidential wannabe who has announced plans to open an office in Silicon Valley in order to attract tech money for his own campaign.
How close? In 2011, Hunter co-wrote Sen. Rand Paul's first book, "The Tea Party Goes To Washington", published in 2011. He also served as Sen. Paul's head of social media, and was the Ron Paul 2012 campaign's main blogger when Rand's dad ran for president.
In 2013, the Washington Free Beacon was first to reveal that Hunter "spent years working as a pro-secessionist radio pundit and neo-Confederate activist." Stunningly, as the Huffington Post reported, Rand Paul stood by his "Southern Avenger," before later allowing him to resign on his own.
Still, as others pointed out, Hunter was hardly the first neo-Confederate on Rand Paul's staff.
In 2010, Rand Paul's senate campaign spokesman, Chris Hightower, resigned after a Kentucky blogger found all sorts of racist gibberish on his MySpace page.
In fact, Rand Paul's own "Suggestions for Further Reading" list in his 2010 book includes books by Thomas Woods, a neo-Confederate secessionist and former member of the League of the South;
and Murray Rothbard, the anarcho-libertarian who promoted the politics of Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke, and who supposedly ghost-penned Ron Paul's racist newsletters. Rand Paul has written that Murray Rothbard "was a great influence on my thinking."

Rand Paul overlooks Cliven Bundy’s racism to pander to the far right
Rand Paul is openly courting Cliven Bundy’s militia supporters by appealing to the scofflaw rancher at a campaign event Monday.
Rand had thrown his support behind the rancher in 2013, calling the federal government’s actions “overreach.” But he withdrew it after the New York Times reported Bundy made racist remarks about blacks, saying they:
abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.
But Paul seemed ready to court him again on Monday.
“I think almost all land use issues and animal issues, endangered species issues, ought to be handled at the state level,” Paul told the AP. “I think that the government shouldn’t interfere with state decisions, so if a state decides to have medical marijuana or something like that, it should be respected as a state decision.”
Paul also seems to have the support of David Lory VanDerBeek, a Nevada politician from the far-right Independent American Party who is also tied to Bundy Ranch. Last week he wrote on his Facebook page that he “loves” Paul’s position on the IRS.
VanDerBeek is linked to Jerad and Amanda Miller, a married couple who dropped everything in their home state of Indiana to come to Bundy Ranch to take part in the stand-off. They later gunned down two police officers and a Walmart shopper before being killed in a shootout with authorities.
VanDerBeek had communicated with the couple numerous times and acknowledges his criticism of police may have resonated with the couple.
