Health Care BS

In case you were wondering why the MSM is attacking Rand Paul about his position on a bill that was passed nearly half a century ago, the answer can be found here:

Rand Paul, riding the momentum of his big Republican Primary win on Tuesday, now posts a 25-point lead over Democrat Jack Conway in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race.

Yep. 25 points:

[A] telephone survey of Likely Voters in Kentucky, taken Wednesday night, shows Paul earning 59% of the vote, while Conway picks up 34% support.

Naturally, this has the Dems and the MSM (oops, I repeated myself again) worried. So they’re slandering him with the usual phony charges of racism.

Erick Erickson, over at Red State, provides the background on this predictable and incredibly dishonest smear (for anyone interested in the actual facts).

UPDATE:

Newsbusters points out that MSNBC alone ran eight segments in which Dr. Paul was accused of racism. The flavor of the coverage is captured in the following comment from Lefty academic Boyce Watkins:

I’m a fellow Kentuckian, just like Rand Paul. And I’m familiar with that brand of very subtle racism …

It’s “subtle” alright. Indeed, it is so subtle that it doesn’t exist. Rand Paul NEVER SAID he was opposed to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. How these lying scumbags sleep at night is beyond me.
