Rand Paul is desperately trying to claw his campaign back into relevance after Erick Erickson called for him to stick a fork in it. So how better than to make outrageous comments about Bernie Sanders?
Right Wing Watch via LGF:
It amazes me and it actually kind of scares me, Paul said. Ive been spending more time going after Bernie and socialism because I dont want America to succumb to the notion that theres anything good about socialism. I think its not an accident of history that most of the times when socialism has been tried that attendant with that has been mass genocide of people or any of those who object to it. Stalin killed tens of millions of people. Mao killed tens of millions of people. Pol Pot killed tens of millions of people. When you have a command economy, when everything is dictated from one authority, thats socialism, but it doesnt come easily to those who resist it.

He's ignorant and not bothering to try and alleviate that ignorance. If he'd even watched the Dem Debate, he'd know that's not the sort of thing about which Sanders is talking.
