The Smear Distraction

Writes Bill Schetlick: “It’s no secret by now that the Neocon Right and Neocon Left are beginning the anti-Ron Paul smear campaign that we all realized would materialize as soon as Ron started raising serious money and inching up in the polls. No particular big-brainer there.

“What’s interesting to me is how little the Giuliani scandal de jour is ruffling the feathers of the AEI and Fixed News folks. It almost seems that these fine statolatrist institutions need a straw man to burn in order to distract from Benito’s problems; mischaracterizing Ron is the perfect prescription.”
