Both Glenn Greenwald and Bill Maher decided to spread the lie that Rand Paul supports Pot legalization on Maher's show Friday night. They did so in an attempt to promote the idea that Rand Paul was uniquely positioned to attract the support/ votes of young people in the country. (even more so than Democrats)

But that claim is a provable lie.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has thrown his support behind legislation that Republicans could use to force President Barack Obama to crack down on legal marijuana in states like Colorado and Washington.
Speaking to Fox News on Thursday, the libertarian-leaning senator said he supported the Enforce the Law Act, which has been approved by the House. The legislation would allow Congress to sue the president for failing to faithfully execute laws.
Paul said that Obama appeared to be “writing his own laws whenever he feels like it.”
But a committee report submitted by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), one of the three congressmen who introduced the bill, suggested Republicans would also use the proposed law to try to force Obama to crack down on marijuana in states that have legalized its possession and sale.

Rand Paul doesn't support the policy.
So I have a simple question to ask.
Why are Glenn Greenwald and Bill Maher misleading voters in to thinking that Rand Paul supports policies popular with the left & young voters?
