Ron Paul on InfoWars

Rand Paul's father, Congressman Ron Paul, appeared on conspiracy-theory-friendly Alex Jones's Info Wars radio show. Alex Jones on the AquaBuddha story:

"It shows how desperate they are. This is some of the dirtiest tricks I've ever seen because they know he's a real bona fide true constitutionalist. And if he becomes the leader of the Tea Party, that is going to supercharge you perhaps even winning the presidency. We have to think big and realize that this is possible. And we have to realize that they are going to run more dirty tricks against you, and we've got to understand that that's why it's important to get behind Campaign for Liberty and donate, to get behind Rand right now, letters to the editor, everything. We've got to get him into the US Senate."

Ron Paul: "I assumed for many years if they ever knew what I really believed in, in how little government I believe in, I couldn't possibly get elected. So sometimes I even surprise myself."

Ron Paul on the lower Manhattan Islamic YMCA:

"I think it's a big distraction, a grand distraction from the real issues... To me it should have been a grand opportunity, and you really touched on the opportunity, because it's really a property rights issue, and who owns the property? And it's also a civil liberties issue. It's a freedom of speech issue... Property rights and civil rights are one and the same... drives the neo-cons nuts... I don't believe for a minute that the, quote, religion of Islam is our enemy."
