Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul says that a recent GQ story alleging that he kidnapped a female friend while a student at Baylor University and attempted to force her to take bong hits is "absolutely not true"
Appearing on FOX News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, Paul said that the story, which quotes his accuser anonymously, is "outrageous and ridiculous" and that the magazine deserves to be sued for printing it.
Paul dismissed a question about whether the incident was a prank that has been mischaracterized, saying, "I'm not really going to try to go back 27 years to remember everything I did in college."
But, he told the FOX News host, "I think I would remember kidnapping someone."
"I absolutely deny kidnapping anyone ever," he said.
Here's the key excerpt from the story:
The strangest episode of Paul's time at Baylor occurred one afternoon in 1983 (although memories about all of these events are understandably a bit hazy, so the date might be slightly off), when he and a NoZe brother paid a visit to a female student who was one of Paul's teammates on the Baylor swim team. According to this woman, who requested anonymity because of her current job as a clinical psychologist, "He and Randy came to my house, they knocked on my door, and then they blindfolded me, tied me up, and put me in their car. They took me to their apartment and tried to force me to take bong hits. They'd been smoking pot." After the woman refused to smoke with them, Paul and his friend put her back in their car and drove to the countryside outside of Waco, where they stopped near a creek. "They told me their god was 'Aqua Buddha' and that I needed to bow down and worship him," the woman recalls. "They blindfolded me and made me bow down to 'Aqua Buddha' in the creek. I had to say, 'I worship you Aqua Buddha, I worship you."

I just hope the WHOLE STORY COMES OUT! He can't remember a "wild night smoking pot" probably because he did it so many times. It always happens this way, a person does all sorts of debauchery and then ' SEE'S THE LIGHT" AND BECOMES THE TOTAL OPPOSITE. They think they "are saved" from their past because "they have changed to serve GOD". They are only serving themselves with their stupidity, I'm sure all those people back then remember him and laugh at him behind his back. THEY KNOW WHAT A FRAUD HE IS AND THEY ALWAYS WILL.
Has anyone seen his birth certificate? Or his kindergarten transcripts? Is he a citizen? Is he a Muslim? Can he prove he is a citizen and not a Muslim? Is he related to Obama? I bet he is an illegal alien! Has anyone seen his green card? Or are these questions only for Democrats?
Now Thats funny I don't care who you are!
LMFAO at the mainstream media.
can't remember everything...what a joke...guilty as charged for another tea bagger hypocrite!!!!!!
Not a big Rand Paul fan, but really is this a big deal? The 'kidnapping' sounds like the kind of stuff that went on a lot in college. Got stoned a great deal in college, but always found it better when in the company of a hot stoner chick.
If anything, this would give me more reasons to vote for the guy, doesn't make him seem as douchy.
Really tho, anyone on this board changing their vote based upon this? Really?
Getting stoned in college is one of those 'elitist' things. 'Real Americans' do crystal meth.
Thanx for the Definition of "Real American".
LOL, almost fell outta my chair when I read this. Keep it Up.
In Kentucky, this is the best news all of us SANE people could have. We must elect the democratic nominee, Jack Conway, to the U.S. Senate!
I don't know why this ding-dong-bonger is even still in the running at all. He should have bowed out after his "segregation is a good thing" comments. He's weird as well as a racist. Only in some circles, I guess it's OK to be a racist but not OK to be a weird bong-smoker as well.......
I think he's still doing what he's accused of, he just doesn't remember he never stopped. Look at that bright blue tie with that orange shirt.
You think that because you want to think that. But that isn't thinking. That is prejudice and self delusion. It is obvious that you disregard facts when they don't fit your fantasies.
Sort of like a tea-booger does? Or is that different?
Logico
Odd name coming from a teabagger. I didn't picture logic and teabagger together. But besides the point, lets get the hyprocisy out of the way first. You damn Clinton & Obama to Hell for their drug use, but the Lil Shrub and his cocaine use, alcoholism, and plain stupity and Rand Paul's alleged bong hits and kidnapping charges are ok? Are you sure you're not doing the bong hits and this is some alternate reality where only if your a Dems, fast track to Hell and Repubs get rehab and second chances?
How many stupid things did you do as a kid?

Nothing that stupid
You liberals will stop at nothing. You are scum.
Brian-1176393
Conservatives are beneath scum, inbred teabagging chicken f*$%er
The radical left has kidnapped, raped and murdered the truth. They will do anything to get what they want.
I guess that would be better than kidnapping a real person, right? Or do the rules not apply to tea-boogers?
logico
And the extreme right has done even worse. Now they have teabaggers kidnapping people and making them pray to the "Great Green God" Aqua Buddha. And for the record Bush and his cronies got away w/ even worse
Another Lib Hatchet Job. Election day can't come fast enough. Any time you "journalists" are ready to close up shop, well, feel fre to do that as well. What a joke story. Even the MSNBC morning crew wasn't buying this nonsense as they ripped the story to shreds as baseless, without any proof whatsoever, not even a report on the so-called event 20 years ago.
Is that because the longer that it is till the time to voter the more screw ups you guys get caught up in? Don't rush it, your hero's have plenty of time and rope to hang them selves with!
I see Crazy borrowed the teleprompter.
Brad: Is that the best insult you have? I know you can do better than that! Go ahead be a good little tea booger and kick a good insult out there!
He did not deny smoking pot.
Even if true, this seems more like a college hi-jinks than anything serious, except, of course, for the dope. It is part of the Libertarian credo that an individual should be able to smoke dope without the government arresting him. That's OK with me, but I have a hard time believing all those fundamentalists Christians who constitute a big portion of the extreme right wing that he is appealing to will be happy with this particular tenet. How about it, all you right wing Obama haters. Will your hatred of Obama trump Rand's peculiar belief about dope?
When you are talking about dope, are you describing yourself? Just wondering...
Hoo boy. A play on words. Better than dealing with the issue any time.
Here come the commie attacks....ha, this is only the beginning. Where is the.......there was no black person smoking the bong, how racist, he didn't share the bong with the community, Bush told him too....
No, I was there. It really did happen that way, like she said, except she did do the bong and went to sit in the corner. The rest was a trip she took. Aqua Buddha, that's what we called the bong. I did the bong and it cured me from being a Idiot and supporting Bush. I don't know what that makes me but you're going to have to do better than this because I'm drafting Senator Paul for president in 2012. We're legallizing pot nationwide and letting people do their own thing. The only thing worse than an anal democrat is an anal republican.
They had to pray to Aqua Buddha because the Flying Spaghetti Monster had not revealed himself to the world yet.
Hey tea boogers, if this had been a Democrat running for office, would you be acting the same way as you are now? How about when Clinton was asked about his drug use? Is your motto such that only Democrats can be asked and condemned for using drugs? Is this where you want to take this country back to? Do you agree that if a Democrat can be ragged on for alleged drug use, then another parties candidate should also be treated the same? Why no out cry from the Cons about this mans alleged drug use?
No, I don't care what Ron Paul did 27 years ago. I don't care that Clinton never inhaled. I don't care that George partied at college. I don't care if President Obama did coke at one time. I don't care if V.P. Gore got creepy with a masseuse (especially that...since that's most certainly not a vision I want in my head).
Slow news day? Is MSNBC reaching for something negative to report? With everything wrong with the country, is this really important? Really.

Where was the outrage was the lil shrub was snorting coke, or his DUI? Odd how some people (teabaggers) have it out for any Dem no matter how small an infraction, but are good christian folk when it comes to their own. I guess they put a large amount of hyprocrisy in that tea their drinking
Man, they'll try anything to get rid of Rand Paul won't they? Why is the Globalist Fascist State so TERRIFIED of this guy?
Some of us are not the least bit afraid of Mr. Paul! I actually find him rather amusing! Why do you think the Republicans (the Globalist Fascist State) are scared of him? If I lived in Ky, I would vote for him just so the Republican Fasicist's would have some company in DC! Well then again, I guess I wouldn't because then you folks would be in power and the world would end, or something!
Maybe he's hitting the Crack Pipe
Hahahahahahahahahah OMG your so friggin funny, oh man that was hilarious
Your a Freaking idiot!!!
Her excuse for not giving her name when making such a serious accusation is that she's a clinical psychologist? Maybe she's not qualified. A clinical psychologist, of all people, should recognize how unfair and unethical to throw this out while hiding behind anonymity. I hope and pray Paul loses his election, but this is really low. And if you can't say her name and have no corroborating witness, then why are you publishing it? Disgusting.
Exactly. There's no credibility to a story that uses quotes and recaps of events by anonymous sources. I once counted 27 times a single Newsweek story wrote "said on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue......"
How scary is it that people can say anything anonymously and ruin other people's lives ...and the media runs with it. Very scary. Very sad.
Candice: Are you sure you were not reading one of Rupert Murdoch's publications? That is his trade mark, he owns the copyright! How many times do you hear that done on Fake News Network by glen or bill or the rush pillguy limburnuts, but when it is done to one of yours suddenly it is wrong?
Limbaugh never uses anonymous quotes. He far prefers that everyone knows the idiot he is pillaging at a given time.
And Candice clearly attributed Newsweek, so the whole segue into Fox was really stupid and cheap on your part.
Irrelevant, too, except as far as it goes in exposing your ignorance.
silly frat boys grow up to be GOPs
weird!
And we are to believe this woman hasn't retained Gloria Allred and told her story to Nancy Grace.
