Courier Journal: Rand Paul Spokesman Resigns Following Controversial Comments

A snip:

The spokesman for U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul has resigned after two political blogs claimed he had blamed the U.S. government for the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and had allowed racist remarks to appear on his myspace.com Web site for nearly two years.

The resignation came five hours after Christopher Hightower told a Courier-Journal reporter that he had never been a member of myspace.com and that the words attributed to him on the site were not his.

David Adams, Paul’s campaign manager, said Hightower resigned because of the Internet posting.

The blogs: Barefoot & Progressive and Too Kooky for Kentucky. Joe Gerth is the only Kentucky reporter to pick up on the story.
