Candidate Dr. Rand Paul? Pothead? Kidnapper? Mocker of religion?

By Pablo Fanque

As you probably know by now, Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul helped *allegedly* kidnap a female student and tried to force her to smoke marijuana in a "prank" during his days at Texas's Baylor University, a GQ article reported.


Paul, with another member of a "secret liberal society" targeted a woman who was a teammate on the swim team.  The kidnappers were members of the NoZe Brotherhood, an organization of liberal-minded students at the Waco, TX Baptist college.

The woman told GQ "He and Randy [Paul] came to my house, they knocked on my door, and then they blindfolded me, tied me up, and put me in their car.  They took me to their apartment and tried to force me to take bong hits. They'd been smoking pot."

Later, they drove her to a creek in the countryside and forced her to worship a bogus God.  "They told me their god was 'Aqua Buddha' and that I needed to bow down and worship him," the woman said.

"The whole thing was kind of sadistic. They were messing with my mind. It was some kind of joke."

Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton told Slate.com it was weighing its options, including legal options. “We will not tolerate drive-by journalism by a writer with a leftist agenda."  Benton never explicitly denied the story.  That is telling in itself.

You have to wonder how Dr. Paul can possibly wiggle out of this one.  This can't play too favorably with his base, whoever they are. . .
