There was a story here yesterday about it: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maddow-hamm…. Apparently, there's no actual evidence of her plagiarism and she addresses it head on. I'm sure your family would love the clip. :)

WHAT IN THE HELL DOES IT MATTER WHO'S SHE SLEPT WITH PRIOR TO BEING RAPED?!

Yeah, when you start trying to duel people you become a gun nut because you are a nut with a gun.

Jesus. I find it impossible to judge what a person would do after going through something so horrifying and traumatic.

I don't even like guns and I love this picture.

I had to like that, if for nothing else than "having the ovaries". Yes!

I'm glad somebody had the ovaries to call him out. He's behaving like an eight-year-old ... and one of the things that's irked me most when I've been privileged to work with highly-placed male progressives is that they can be strangely resistant to calling Tea Party types out openly on their bullsh*t.

Doctor Maddow is a very smart, very feminine woman and a precious resource for humankind... but she is TWICE the man I am... which means she is about five times the man Mr. Paul is. If she were not so mature and level headed, Mr. Paul should be running, and not stopping. Ever. Please.

I was watching the first report of this on 3 news. They were sure to mention that she wasn't a virgin at the time of her rape. Because as we all know, if she wasn't a virgin she was asking for it, right?

Stop making it so hard for me to be against the death penalty, you horrible little shits.

Pretty much, because while she likes guns she isn't a fucking idiot about about the 2nd amendment being infinitely powerful. There are a lot of liberals like that.

The I'm-rubber-and-you're-glue defense.

He hasn't taken responsibility for anything yet. He could hardly fire someone while still denying the truth of the charges.

Responding to the person rather than the charge is the entirety of the GOP playbook, at this point. If President Obama had done this Fox news would have already run a 1 hour special on it.

Awwww, does this mean Maddow is not going to be whooping his ass? I was hoping for the duel. Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Ah, never mind, my childish taunts are only likely to work on Paul...

What I can't believe is that they're still trying to pull that shit. The interwebz isn't exactly a new thing at this point. The amount software out there designed to catch smart, tech-savvy college kids copying obscure articles is pretty extreme. This idiot couldn't even cover his tracks past a single google…

YOUR HISTORY AND FACTS HAVE NO PLACE HERE.

It's not like this is something that the "liberal media" selectively reports on to punish Republicans. Joe Biden had to end his 1988 presidential bid after plagiarizing a speech by Neil Kinnock.

Yeah, given that Rachel is a gun enthusiast, I'm guessing Paul wouldn't want to face off with her, anyway. Good for her mature response, though.
