Rand "Poodle" Paul Is A Honest As Your Average Wingnut Blogger

Buzzfeed lays out the not particularly shocking news that Rand Paul's ghostwriter exhaustively researched Paul's books in the comment sections of Free Republic and the e-mail forwards of your mentally unstable uncle.

One of many examples:

Then, Paul cites a fake Thomas Jefferson quote again to lead off the chapter “Living Everyday in Fear of Your Government.”

“When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny,” Paul cites Jefferson as saying.

But again, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation notes they “have not found any evidence that Thomas Jefferson said or wrote” these remarks.

I suspect that Poodle Paul's books also didn't explore the contradictions between Tommy's rhetorical opposition to tyranny and his practices of enslavement and rape. Because of a little fact that Buzzfeed forgets to mention, namely, that Paul's literary collaborator, Jack Hunter, is a racist piece of shit.  For Paul and his pals, liberty is a whites-only proposition.
