Here’s a fun fact: It turns out that another Senate candidate is involved with the right-wing doctors group that has dabbled in such topics as birtherism, HIV-denial and opposition to Medicare. It’s none other than Rand Paul.

As we posted earlier today, Sharron Angle will be headlining a Tea Party rally organized by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. They have stated that the establishment of Medicare in 1965 was “evil” and “immoral”; they have denied the link between HIV and AIDS; they have dabbled in birtherism; they have argued that President Obama may have used “covert hypnosis” to rally his crowds; and have suggested that the Food and Drug Administration is unconstitutional.

But it should be noted that Rand Paul is also a member.

Here’s an interview that Rand Paul did on Fox News this past April, talking about his own associations with the group and his support for their lawsuit to have the new health care reform law overturned:
