Rand is just code for telling mindless anti-intellectuals to hate somebody. Hence the references to Paul Ryan and the Tea Party.
The fact of the matter is, on many occasions Paul Carr simply lies about what Rand said.
If Rand is so bad that someone should be embarrassed to be associated with her ideas--- why the need to lie about her ideas?
I'll answer that to you-- Rand's real crime is she demolish leftist anti-intellectualism and showed it for what it is.
It's not Rand they hate, its the mind. And their whole goal is to prevent you from being exposed to the ideas in Atlas Shrugged (which is why they focus on Rand, rather than the book, they don't even mention the book unless they have to and never the philosophy.)
"If Rand is so bad ..." the problem is that most people haven't read Rand, even so called "adherents" and "fans", and so they don't know what the heck they're talking about. the few people that have can see through the bull.
