By Ezra Klein, Published: May 11, 2013 at 12:42 pm
The New York Times calls Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) one of the Republican Partys rising stars. The Daily Beast says hes a smoother, more pragmatic political operator than his father, former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex.). All that seems true. So riddle me this: Whats the upside for Paul to put his name on e-mails like this one, which landed in my inbox this morning?
Its one thing for no-name pols to work on the fringes. But Paul, at this point, has a lot to lose. Yet here he is, suggesting the current president of the United States is working with anti-American globalists plot[ting] against our Constitution. And for what?
Heres the whole e-mail. Its on behalf of the National Association on Gun Rights, and it leads you to this Paul-centric splash page.
Gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made.
You see, only hours after re-election, Barack Obama immediately made a move for gun control
On November 7th, his administration gleefully voted at the UN for a renewed effort to pass the Small Arms Treaty.
But after the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut and anti-gun hysteria in the national media reaching a fever pitch theres no doubt President Obama and his anti-gun pals believe the timing has never been better to ram through the U.N.s global gun control crown jewel.
I dont know about you, but watching anti-American globalists plot against our Constitution makes me sick.

He's just another in a long line of useful idiots they trot out to go full on crazy.
It would be tiring if not so amusing.
