Well, let's see. So far we've got claims that Ron Paul is the following:
1. A NAZI.
2. A white supremacist (which Matthew Yglesias of Atlantic Monthly claims libertarians are as well)
3. A leftist
4. A Democrat
5. A racist
6. A big government advocate via earmarked spending
Oh yes, 7. crazy.
Have I missed anything?
The fact is that Ron Paul is one of the most honorable men to have ever been elected to the House of Representatives. Further, his reputation of a small government activist has been thoroughly vetted and well known for years.
Calling someone who advocates protection of private property, lawful Constitutional government, and full protection of rights against infringement by government any of the above is scurrilous and wrong. Anyone that has attended a Ron Paul rally or event knows full well that there's not a racist bone in his body, much less his policy positions.
