Court journalist Howard Fineman thinks he is criticizing Ron Paul because Ron doesn’t look like what “Hollywood” says a presidential candidate should look like. He looks like a real working person, a retired baby doctor, even, says Fineman in disgust. In Fineman’s world, this is weird and unacceptable.

While he pretends to be a “journalist” and not just a political hack for the Demopublicans in D.C., Fineman simply makes up some of the “facts” that he “reports.” He’s full of hot air, in other words. For example, he claims that “much of the world dismisses Paul as a libertarian crank.”

Really, Howard? And how do you know this? Did you conduct a scientific poll of the entire planet? Did you include the Aborigines? How about the Eskimos? What do the folks in Bangladesh think of Ron Paul, Howard? (And do they not think Dub-Yuh is some kind of crank?)

Ron Paul has raised millions of dollars in small contributions from Americans from all over the country. Could you raise a hundred bucks in this way, Howard, if you ran for dogcatcher? I doubt it.

He has also stood for election in Texas and won, several times. Have you ever subjected yourself to anything like this, Howard? No, of course not.

You have to look people in the eye to be a successful politician. Fineman’s problem in that regard is that his nose is permanently stuck straight up in the air.

Whenever anyone says, “I’m for freedom,” the entire Washington Establishment, and especially the Neocon News Networks, goes berserk.
