The Company He Keeps

Here's a segment from conspiracy theorist Alex Jone's program "Thought Crime USA" where Rand Paul postulates, pontificates, and generally uses seriously hyperbolic rhetoric to talk about everything from healthcare reform, the swine flu vaccine, to questioning politicians - a stance he later reverses in rather dramatic fashion while on the campaign trail - to even comparing Obama to Hitler.



There's a lot of ground that Paul attempts to cover with as little substance as possible, but I think it's important to point out the fact that Rand Paul is completely comfortable with aligning himself with a man like Alex Jones, a man that has never been a friend of the Right.

Will the modern conservative movement ignore the fact that Rand Paul associates with Jones My guess is yes, considering they just elected the man to represent Kentucky in the Senate, that he is given an open and unchallenged platform on Fox"News", and is staunchly defended at every turn by the same people who have continually and vigorously decried Alex Jones as nothing more than a nutjob.

Predictable.
