Here’s a very logical dissection of the neocon-beltway libertarian smear of Ron Paul, the first serious libertarian presidential candidate since Grover the Great. It reminds me of the old adage: “if you are going to kill the King–kill the King!”
Ron Paul is Not A Bigot: Refuting the New Republic Charges
By James W. Harris
In a campaign of sleazy, flip-flopping presidential candidates loaded down with ugly personal and political baggage, Paul has been a shining exception. A ten-term congressman of incredibly consistent views, praised by ideological friends and foes alike for his character, integrity and friendliness. A devout Christian reluctant to inject public declarations of his faith into politics; a devoted family man, married to his high school sweetheart for over fifty years. A doctor who has delivered literally thousands of babies and provided pro bono medical care for the poor; a student who paid for his first year at college by delivering newspapers, selling lemonade, and mowing lawns. No skeletons, no scandals. A squeaky-clean straight-talking Mr. Paul Goes To Washington.
Until… now?
