Although Mr. Liberty threatened to clamp down on free media and denied kidnapping the victim, Rand Paul did not deny using pot, and did not deny the Aqua Buddha worshipping incidents at Baylor, although his non-responses are every bit as pointed at deception as his refusal to correct interviewers who said to him that he graduated from college, when in fact he dropped out after 2 & 1/2 years.
Meanwhile, of course, there are thousands of posts, reports and slams circulating. One of the best is here.
And Paul even managed to whip up another lie, this one designed to alienate the voters who hosted Fancy Farm and to offend all the parishioners of St. Jerome:
Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul angered a small-town Kentucky church on Tuesday by saying politicians who attended its fundraising picnic had to worry about having beer thrown on them, a claim parishioners say isn’t true.
Paul described his view of the picnic to conservative radio personality Sean Hannity while talking about how objects are sometimes hurled at politicians.
“We were in a place called Fancy Farm, which is just a wild picnic where they boo your entire speech,” Paul said at the end of the show. “And it’s a very partisan thing, and you do worry about people throwing beer on you and throwing things at you, so it is kind of wild thing to run for office.”
Though there was plenty of booing, nothing was thrown at politicians at the picnic on Saturday. It annually draws politicians who spend the day glad-handing with voters and delivering stump speeches. It has been a good fundraiser for the western Kentucky parish for 130 years and has evolved into the traditional kickoff of the fall campaign season in the state.
Parisher Mark Wilson, who helps organize the picnic, said the comment simply wasn’t true, that beer sales aren’t even legal in the tiny farming community served by the church. He wants Paul to take it back.
“We have never known of any objects being thrown, and especially we’ve never heard of any problems with beer being thrown,” Wilson said. “It’s the perception that we just have a bunch of rowdy, beer-drinking folks there, and that’s a perception we don’t want at St. Jerome.”

Good ole Rand… never fails to deliver the goods. What a ride, as he slowly twists and turns (and flipflops) in the wind.
Who needs the Comedy Channel on cable with stuff like this on the news?
