CAN’T TELL TRUTH FROM FICTION: Does Paul Ryan’s admiration for Ayn Rand make him pro-terrorist? Possibly, warns MSNBC guest.

UPDATE: Ben Domenech: Paul Ryan/Ayn Rand claim is a lie. “Always skeptical about the offhand, unsourced anecdote from Beam’s piece (which wasn’t even focused on Ryan), I reached out to several former Ryan staffers yesterday to ask them whether the Budget Chairman had required them to read Rand. While everyone knows Ryan is indeed a personal fan of Rand’s work, not a single one of them said Ryan had required them to read the books. . . . Suggesting people should read Rand is hardly a bad thing. But it appears the left thinks this is a dangerous thing.” The left is extremely frightened of Rand’s ideas. As always, that fear is displayed as a mixture of hatred and contempt, backed by lies.
