And I know you didn’t put it there, but I’m sure you’d agree that placing this in Breaking News on New Hampshire primary day is silly.

[AppyPappy]

Then there is Gary North, who has worked on Paul's congressional staff.

The Y2K guy?

[mnehring]

Well, Drudge did seem it worth highlighting as new breaking news in bold red?

[jmc813]

It's clear that if he's not a racist and conspiracy nut, the highlights here don't support Jewhater, he's sure comfortable not only having these folk around, but if the paulistinian excuse is to be believed, writing in his name for over a decade.

For someone so godd at digging up research, your English composition is horrendous. How are people supposed to understand that?

[lormand]

There is a new link on Drudge with some more Ron Paul idiocy. The page will not open however. I guess the Ron Paul spam-bots are doing a denial of service attack on the website.

[trumandogz]

In my book, when one refers to a race of people as “animals” that is racist.

[elhombrelibre]

A lot of Run Paul’s supporters on FReeRepublic are gay, I’m sure.

[mnehring]

To be fair, for several of these comments, Paul supporters claim he didn't write them but a staffer wrote them and just put Paul's name to them. A lot, however, are newly discovered so they haven't had a chance to apply that excuse to those.

From the article:
In other words, Paul's campaign wants to depict its candidate as a naïve, absentee overseer, with minimal knowledge of what his underlings were doing on his behalf.

[italianquaker]

Not just a nut but a racist traitor to boot. What a disgrace this buffoon is to congress and with fat ted in there thats pretty bad

[jrooney]

Yes Drudge has picked it up. The wheels are going to come off Paul quickly. His campaign is toast and his days as a Congressman are numbered. His followers will defend him to the hilt no matter what he says or does. THE FREEPERS THAT SUPPORT PAUL GIVE FR A BAD NAME.

[mnehring]

That’s not nice. Many of them here are good folks. I just think they are the exception to the rule in that movement.

[mnehring]

Pajamas media just picked it up with pull quotes.

“The people surrounding the von Mises Institute—including Paul—may describe themselves as libertarians, but they are nothing like the urbane libertarians who staff the Cato Institute or the libertines at Reason magazine. Instead, they represent a strain of right-wing libertarianism that views the Civil War as a catastrophic turning point in American history—the moment when a tyrannical federal government established its supremacy over the states.”

And what is incorrect about that interpretation of US history?

[trumandogz]

Paul is responsible for every word in a newsletter that bears his name.

[bubbacluck]

Here in California I just heard my first Ron Paul radio ad. I am going to vote for theFred in February, but RP’s ad was very good. If I was to just go by what is said in radio ads I would be tempted to vote for RP.

National Review editor William F. Buckley having famously denounced the John Birch Society....

That's because RINO Buckley really is a member of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations and he's a gun grabber to boot! No surprise that CFR is antigun. The only way to force the USA to become a part of any viable NWO is to unilaterally disarm all American citizens first. Folks like William F. Buckley are just the other side of Hillary Clinton and Barak -YOmama- Obama.

[Captain Kirk]

I agree but the article doesn’t call black people animals. It refers to specifically to rioters. Ann Coulter could have easily said it....or much worse.

[elhombrelibre]

No, I think they are.

[jrooney]

Weeble, it is strange how you NEVER condemn anything Paul says or does but you like to point out how you play a grammar teacher on FR, since you stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.
