[takecontrol]

it’s working at least and they look on schedule... testing 1,2,3

[Falcon28]

Will Rand answer why he is a regular guest on the radio show of 9/11 Truther Alex Jones? Didn't think so.

Bill Johnson for US Senate

[takecontrol]

Lame

[takecontrol]

stream just died ! call the police

[Falcon28]

There's a great response. A mighty rational and sound argument you present.

[takecontrol]

stream is back. pledge of allegiance

[takecontrol]

Amen!

[takecontrol]

stream keeps going off :(

[takecontrol]

Rand just knocked it out the park in his opening statement

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Paul doesn't support Jones or the Truther movement.

Going on Alex Jones is no different than going on Chris Mathews' or Keith Olbermann's show.

[takecontrol]

I would argue Mathews is even more extreme.

[Falcon28]

Alex Jones is the biggest 9/11 Truther in the country. Why would Rand choose to go on his radio show on a regular basis. Rand proudly excepted Jones’ endorsement. That’s a whole lot different than going on Matthew’s or Olbermann’s show to debate the issues. A whole lot different.

[ChrisInAR]

As soon as Mr. Johnson said that he supports the PATRIOT Act I lost all interest in him. I thought that he was a strong defender of the Constitution (despite the fact that I support Rand Paul)...but I guess I was wrong.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Jones is a nationally-syndicated radio host.
If Obama went on Rush's show, would it make him agreeable to conservatism?
The questions Jones asked of Paul (both Pauls, BTW) had nothing to do with Trutherism or 9/11 they were more about privacy rights, foreign policy, and libertarianism. BTW, both Pauls have rejected Trutherism and the elder Paul has publicly stated he doesn't agree with Jones' views.
I personally wouldn't appear on Jones' show if you paid me. But if Rand feels that he can reach a wider audience of potential voters by appearing on his show, that's his prerogative.

[Reagan Man]

Didn't you tell me you rejected Ron Paul?

Don't tell me you support Rand Paul?

Its a distinction without a difference.

[Maelstorm]

Going on a show doesn’t mean one adheres to the beliefs of the host. Rand Paul is not a truther and it is disengenuous to suggest so. If anything he has disappointed some of his fathers faithful because he refuses to take the isolationist stance of his father.

[Maelstorm]

It really isn’t different most of the nutty leftists are truthers. Rand has never professed to being one. He is a passionate well spoken proponent of liberty and conservatism. I trust him to stand not just against liberals but also against big government Republicanism.
