Is Jesse Benton Blackmailing Rand Paul?

NYT best selling author and prominent libertarian Tom Woods, who was an adviser to the Ron Paul campaign and certainly knows his way around insider libertarian politics, during a recent interview proposed the theory that the only reason that Rand Paul is keeping Jesse Benton as part of his political campaign team is because Benton may be blackmailing Rand.

Wood's said he was unsure about Rand by the very fact that he hired Benton, whom he called the biggest boob in the history of politics.

The comment starts just after the 23:00 mark.

  1. Good interview. Thanks for posting this. The real dissent that Ron Paul inserted into the national discourse was moral action. Ron injected a moral discourse that had not existed. Maybe ever. Ron tied fiscal responsibility to moral responsibility. Once that part of his message was established, he drew parallels between individuals and nations and how moral action cannot be trifled with. That is real dissent.
