In the political year that just continues to be an outlier, the junior Senator from the state with a stupid fucking ark was attacked over the weekend and sustained 5 broken ribs. The initial reports indicated minor injuries, but that doesn't seem to be the case. He was allegedly attacked from behind by a neighbor as Rand was mowing his lawn.

article said:
Sen. Rand Paul calls it an "unfortunate event." Police are calling it assault — and many people are trying to figure out why Paul's neighbor, a fellow medical doctor, might allegedly have attacked him with enough force to fracture five ribs. Paul was reportedly tackled while he was mowing the grass at his home in Bowling Green, Ky.

Police who were called to Paul's home shortly after 3 p.m. local time on Friday say they arrested Paul's neighbor, 59-year-old Rene Boucher, and charged him with fourth-degree assault.

This little investigation confirmed that the Rene Boucher who attacked Rand Paul is also the Rene Boucher who reposts anti-Trump memes and stories, and shares posts from Bernie Sanders.

Boucher shared a meme from "Proud Liberals" calling Trump a liar. In May, he shared a post from the page "Impeach Trump, Impeach Pence, Keep Impeaching." He shared a photo of the Time magazine cover with the White House turned into the Kremlin. He quoted an ex-CIA official who called Trump the "Sissy in chief."

Boucher did not share many original thoughts, but there was this nugget from May 17: "May Robert Mueller fry Trump's gonads."

"Trump firing everyone who investigates him. TOTALITARIANISM," he wrote in another May post. Then there's this: "SUB-ZERO: The intelligence level or [sic] Trump supporters."

Perhaps more importantly, Boucher has repeatedly supported Sen. Sanders' proposal for universal health care. He shared a Sanders meme depicting the U.S. as the "only major country" without universal health care.

Boucher also shared a video of Bernie Sanders mocking President Trump on universal health care.

So, his point is that if we had universal health care, the government would pay for Paul's medical treatment?

That makes no sense. As a government employee, he already has the government pay for his medical treatment.

I'm starting to think that crazy guy might just be crazy.
 
His party affiliation is not why he attached. As neighbors, they have an on-going neighbor feud, like the Hatfields and Mccoys. Boucher probably saw Rand Paul mowing his lawn with Boucher's lawn mower he stole 5 years before and said he didn't have...something like that. So, he body slammed him terribly. Not justified (unless you're a propertarian), but nothing to do with politics.

I predict BernieBro is going to be paying for someone's medical expenses in the near future.

Maybe in the near future you can stop thinking like a 5-year-old with a hammer.

Prominent? Is Rand Paul even an actually certified doctor?

Well, that dull. If it's just some lame assed domestic dispute, how the hell do we shoehorn it into our preexisting narrative in order to demonize our political opponents?

Stupid reality always getting in the way of preconceived theories. :mad:

The same way we blame a person's whiteness when someone shoots people with hispanic names, but ignore a person's atheistness when he shoots 26 people because of a personal dispute with his mother-in-law.
 
Yes, he and his crazy father are both real doctors. I think Rand's an opthamologist or something.

My father worked for years as a nurse anesthetist, and he was quite clear on the subject: "Just because someone is a doctor, that doesn't mean they are smart."

Nobody here actually does that. We do it to show you what it's like when some isolated incident pops up and someone like you or Derec decides to use the given tragedy to propagate your own hatred for people different than you.

Well, as long as we're able to hold a group accountable as a whole, that's all that really matters.

Libertarian Rand Paul, the eye doctor turned Republican Senate candidate in Kentucky, may not be a "board-certified" ophthalmologist, as he reportedly claimed. Paul's certification comes from a board he incorporated and heads, but he hasn't been certified by an organization recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties for five years. When reporters asked Paul to explain, he said, "What does this have to do with our election?" He subsequently released a statement saying he had a certification from the main medical board until 2005, but let it lapse to protest a decision to make doctors get recertified every 10 years. Will the confusion hurt Paul's candidacy?

Huh, that does sound a little shady. However, he actually has the MD and was certified at one time, so I believe its fair to call him a doctor despite his liscense to practice lapse.

I have no problem with the "doctor" part (he was licensed for 15 or so years), it was the part of "prominent" doctor that bothered me from the article.
