Do you even know what I'm referring to?

Rand Paul's fake Opthamology Board Cert:

Pretty #ing shady.

Ahh... so it's ok to lie through your teeth occasionally, just not very often... what's your standard? One major lie every six months ... once a year? A week?

You guys can't pretend these Paul folks are so moral and pure when the evidence points to something far more subtle. It's like the Obama madness all over again.

He had claimed to be certified by both boards, but Courier-Journal reporter Joseph Gerth quickly discovered that claim was false.

Patients have come to expect that a doctor who holds himself out as a “board certified” specialist, as Paul does, meets rigorous standards created by an independent body? And, if the American Board of Medical Specialties, the American Medical Association, the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure and the American Academy of Ophthalmologists don’t recognize Paul’s National Board of Ophthalmology, exactly what are the standards required for certification by that board? You can find the requirements of the American Board of Ophthalmology at www.abop.org. Paul’s group maintains no such website. Raising even more questions is that when asked more than a month ago which board he was certified by, Paul incorrectly said that he is certified by both his own group and the widely recognized American Board of Ophthalmology.

Though we won’t provide Paul with a full list of questions, we will present a few of them here, just so you know a little bit about what we’re looking for.

What does the National Board of Ophthalmology certification process require? Does it require additional continuing medical education classes — over and above what is required by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure — like the American Board of Ophthalmology requires?

Do doctors have to take a proctored exam to earn or maintain their certification? If so, what does that exam entail and who wrote the test?

The American Board of Ophthalmology recertification process costs about $1,500 every 10 years. How much does the National Board of Ophthalmology charge, and where do any proceeds from the organization go?

Those questions aren’t that tough. Neither are the rest of them we’d like to ask.

Cause there's a context in which you can justifiably call for the arrest of people for listening to a speech?

Answer that then I'll post the link.

And tell me, shouldn't Ron repudiate his son, for claiming to be supporting liberty, but actually trying to stifle speech?

Hmmm...?

So you're on the record, as a Ron Paul supporter, saying that there COULD be a justification for arresting people, based on NOTHING BUT listening to a speech? Yes?

If you go on and say that I'll post the audio of him, full context, saying that exact thing.

One more time, here's his (ENTIRE) quote:

"I’m not for profiling people on the color of their skin, or on their religion, but I would take into account where they’ve been traveling and perhaps, you might have to indirectly take into account whether or not they’ve been going to radical political speeches by religious leaders. It wouldn’t be that they are Islamic. But if someone is attending speeches from someone who is promoting the violent overthrow of our government, that’s really an offense that we should be going after — they should be deported or put in prison."

That's his words.

Are you willing to say that there's some context in which you, as a Ron Paul supporter would agree with those words? It's an easy question. If I ripped it out of context you'll obviously cry foul and say I did.

Very easy, would you think that, in ANY context, there a reason for throwing someone in jail for listening to a speech?

Not gonna post the link until you answer that.
