Posted at the request of a Paul supporter.

IMO essentially accurate, though it simply restates what's been said on FR for months.

Accurate? You've got to be kidding. Throw every smear of libertarianism against the war and see what sticks.

Let's juts look at the first sentence: "Champion of prostitutes, drug dealers, white supremacists and anti-war activists like MoveOn.org, Code Pink, libertarian Lew Rockwell and girl friend Cindy Sheehan,..."

"Champion of prostitutes", I guess this one comes from the new reports that the owner of the Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada is donating to Ron Paul. Ah, the Bunny Ranch is a legal business. Since legalization of prostitution hasn't come up as an issue, I believe Ron Paul is the only candidate, who supports the legalization of prostitution. That is a legal, not a moral concept. Unless you want to join the liberals in making everything illegal that you consider immoral, supporting legalized prostitution is a matter for public debate.

"Champion of...drug dealers...", now I have no idea, where this on comes from. Just as the mob opposed legalization of alcohol in the 30's, drug dealers oppose the re-legalization of drugs today. That would destroy their business and their gangs. Why would they want that?

The anti-war MoveOn.org types move to Ron Paul, not vice versa. Paul's the only opponent of foreign interventionism among the GOP. There's a difference between the lefty "anti-warism" and opposition to interventionism, which is the standard libertarian position and can be traced back to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Ron Paul is a patriot and loves America. MoveOn.org/Cindy Sheehan types hate America and want to turn us into another socialist hell-hole. They may agree on bringing home the troops, but for very different reasons.

Full disclosure, right now my candidate preference is #1 Duncan Hunter and #2 Fred Thompson, then Romney, Guliani and finally Paul. I just oppose the smearing and character assassination of people of good character. If people are of bad character (ie the Clintons), describing their characters is not character assassination. Ron Paul is a thoroughly decent, caring and concerned American, according to all the evidence I have. I've emailed Ron Paul as an '88 supporter of his, that he should return donations from the Don Black/Stormfront types, because that opens him up to attacks, like we see here and libertarians should not be associated with totalitarian types and this for any support coming from MoveOn.org types. Ron Paul disagrees, he believes he can take that money and promote the Freedom Agenda.

I've been disturbed by the activities of Ron Paul supporters and Paul's non-response. I think it's bad for Ron Paul, his reputation and the advancement of his agenda. I can criticize people without smearing them.
