Rand Paul wants to challenge ‘hacks’ like Maddow to a gunfight over plagiarism charge

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/11/03/rand-paul-wants-to-challenge-hacks-like-maddow-to-a-gunfight-over-plagiarism-charge/

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Sunday vowed to be more careful citing sources but insisted that a “dueling” gunfight against “hacks and haters” like MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, who uncovered his plagiarism of Wikipedia, would be the ultimate solution if it were legal.


. “And like I say, if, you know, if dueling were legal in Kentucky, if they keep it up, you know, it would be a duel challenge. But I can’t do that, because I can’t hold office in Kentucky then.”


well, if it were legal, Chris Matthews could be her second . . .
I think . . . maybe

Loses the argument. Oh, and credibility, and their next election.

This empty suit got busted being a hack.
He fancies himself an intellectual and a thinker, but the most he ever engaged in scholarship was reading the CliffsNotes for "Atlas Shrugged" between bong hits and "Hail Aqua Buddhas" in college.

Oh that's right, he can't.

Why this fool continues to behave in a way that keeps shining a bright light on his wrong-doing is a mystery to me.

... you're still a plagiarist, Rand. This is not a difference of opinion. You got called out because you did something dishonorable. Killing the person won't undo the deed, it will only make things worse.

Listen to their radio shows. The life blood of the publicon party. Clear Channel lets them get away with their assassination fantasy on a daily basis.

They constantly say they want to kill us. When are we going to start believing them?

This is easily construed as a threat against her life and as instigation of others to do her mortal harm.
