This is a fascinating point Kleiman brings up. I wrote an essay about 15 years ago positing that the same personality type gets involved in Amway multi level marketing as in far right politics. And of course the DeVos family (Amway founders) is seriously...

Citing "property rights" in your stupid...
How many times have we heard this from the nouveau libertarian: “Ron Paul isn’t racist, he’s for private property rights, that’s why he said he would have voted against the Civil Rights Act. Doesn’t a black restaurant owner have the right to ban a KKK member from eating in his restaurant?”
You effing morons. A KKK member (or your hypothetical Westboro Baptist...

Politicalprof: Coding Race →
This is a topic I’ve been trying to “educate” the younger Paul supporters who honestly don’t know this recent American history.
politicalprof:
Let me offer some thoughts about an important issue in American political life that is informed by the Ron Paul flap, but that many Paulites might not be thinking about as they defend him: the concept of code. (Note that this...

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 2, Episode 3 - "Trick...
Scene in front of a movie theater, crowd waiting to enter the theater. Larry David, standing in the crowd, is whistling one of Wagner's symphonies.
Man (to Larry): Are you Jewish?
Larry David (surprised): What?!
Man: You're a self loathing Jew, Wagner was Hitler's famous composer.
Larry David: I do hate myself but it's not because I am Jewish.
Hilarious episode because at the end, Larry finds out where the man lives, and also finds out that the man's daughter toilet papered and egged his house at Halloween. Larry sets up a small orchestra on the man's lawn to "serenade" him with the Wagner symphony.

“Newt and I agreed that the analogy is December 1941.”

A little U.S. history lesson for state's rights...
In June 1958, Mildred Jeter (a black woman) and Richard Loving (a white man) were married in the District of Columbia. On their wedding night in their Virginia home, police broke down their bedroom door, hoping to find them in the act of sex (another crime, in addition to the violation of Virginia’s Racial Integrity law banning interracial marriage).
In 1959, the Lovings pled guilty in a...

2010 Redux: That election saw ignorant candidates...
Now we have Ron Paul supporters who think reading his website makes them experts on the Constitution, federalism and state’s rights — the faux libertarian’s wet dream, with no basis in reality. Paul and his son Rand believe the Civil Rights Act was unnecessary, because the free market will eventually take care of a restaurant that denies service to blacks. Think about that: the...

Ron Paul vote AGAINST Martin Luther King Jr. National Holiday
Ron Paul was the ONLY nay vote AGAINST awarding Rosa Parks the Congressional Medal of Honor. Now claims it was because of the cost. How much does THAT possibly cost?
And then in addition to racist votes, here are a handful of HUNDREDS of examples of Paul being anti-human in general

GoDaddy withdraws SOPA support - Money talks →
GoDaddy still sucks though. But as soon as Lamar Smith and the House committee pushing this monstrosity through the Congress start to hear rumblings from their corporate masters, this thing will die. Keep up the company boycotts, letters and protests.

GOP just desserts
So Paul leading Romney by 10% in Iowa (28%-18%) while the Gingrich freefall continues. Meanwhile in New Hampshire, Romney trying to survive while some NH officials still endorsing Gingrich, leaving another door open for Paul to pick through the rubble. Oh a girl can dream: Dr. Ron Paul wins the first two primary states, Gingrich runs out of money, and Romney loses the third state of South...

Excerpt:
GOP leaders demanded that C-SPAN turn off the cameras so the public couldn’t hear the debate any more. Classy. I know Republicans think they’re in “Braveheart” but I don’t remember the scene in the movie in which William Wallace decided he’d rather run away than fight.

I say we leave Ron Paul's record alone for now
Let’s stop trying to educate Republican primary voters of the sordid history of Dr. Ron Paul. If the GOP is dumb enough to nominate him, the 2012 Obama reelection will be so damned entertaining.

Ron Paul’s supporters are an interesting bunch, ranging from far lefty liberals (who like him because he’s against war and for legalized pot) to the Aryan Nation.
