Rand Paul Book Filled with Fake Thomas Jefferson Quotes

More help from Rand in advancing the libertarian cause, The libertarian haters are having a field day.

Heather Digby Parton writes at Salon:
If there’s one thing most political media can agree upon it’s that Senator Rand Paul is as authentic as it comes. He’s a man of principle who doesn’t bend with the wind just because it’s politically expedient to do so. Indeed, he’s bravely running for the nomination for president in the Republican Party despite his courageous willingness to confront both the establishment and the base on the hard issues.
Well, it is true that he has waffled somewhat on foreign policy, which is supposedly one of the libertarian bedrock principles, but hey, he’s running for president and he needs to assure Republican voters that he will defend America from the bad people. Surely, he’ll return to his isolationist principles just as soon as he is elected. He’s also done a little plagiarizing.
And now, a book he wrote called “The Tea Party Goes to Washington” has come under renewed scrutiny, owing to the fact that it includes one fake quote from Thomas Jefferson after another

  1. Conservatives like Rand Paul twist the words of the founding fathers to fit their agenda of controlling the citizens of this country with the Bible, the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Military, the CIA, the NSA, the War on Drugs, militarized police, and prisons, so we will quietly submit to being enslaved.

    The stench from this strutting little Judas goat is beginning to finally push people away in droves.

  2. Rand is the Pied Piper of the Liberty Movement.
