Why was a reading list scrubbed from Rand Paul's website?

In recent days the Weekly Standard and Washington Free Beacon have brought to light a now-scrubbed recommended reading list for students that had resided on Sen. Rand Paul’s website. Why the focus on a book list, and why was the book list scrubbed?

The answer to the second question could lie in the answer to the first: the foreign policy recommendations in the reading list take a variety of controversial stances, suggesting that the U.S. is to blame for the rise of Islamic supremacism in the Middle East, that the “Israeli Lobby” controls U.S. foreign policy to America’s great detriment, and other potentially toxic assertions consistent with views of many on the progressive left and even Al Qaeda’s rhetoric itself.

To save us having to go to Beck’s web site, what is the list?

The foreign policy titles on on the recommended reading list consist of: Ron Paul’s “A Foreign Policy of Freedom,” From the site:

Andrew J. Bacevich’s “The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War,” Chalmers Johnson’s “Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire,” Michael Scheuer’s “Imperial Hubris: Why the West Is Losing the War on Terror” and Patrick J. Buchanan’s “Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency.”

Same here. And it was underlined by the site almost crashing my woefully poor browser. And sorry about my tagging it as from there accidentally in the actual text I was pasting.

I had some hopes for Rand, but he turns out this way...

on to other possible candidates!

(we must win in 2016!)

Is Beck trying to take the attention off the fact that he's outed himself as a traitor to the nation with his ridiculous coddling of the illegal invasion?

Rand Paul hates neo-conservatives, no news there.
