I'd be shocked to learn that the article was not written from a liberal perspective. It's clearly not neocon in origin. Secondly, be careful if you're pigeonholing Salon as being anti-Paul, as Glenn Greewald wrote a remarkably fair and very nearly pro-Paul article for them. Also...

I'd imagine we could debate the finer points of cragginess for a good long while and not make a lot of progress. I think it's kind of a fun word and I can picture a bored staff writer typing out the phrase "craggy visage of their hero" with just the faintest smile on their face. I consider it...

Calling a relief of a face in a coin a "craggy visage" doesn't strike me as terribly inflammatory, and calling Dr. Paul a "hero" to a great many of his supporters is hardly controversial. This was the work of an anonymous staff writer. Are you seriously proposing that the campaign ignore the...

I view this almost exclusively as a failure on the part of Dr. Paul's campaign. Mr. Dobbs gave them a week to prepare some comprehensive numbers. Benton's reply looks like he put about two minutes of thought into it. Several posts here may a far more persuasive case than the campaign...

I'm reluctant to call this especially bad coverage of Dr. Paul. He says one or two fairly inflammatory comments, but overall it's a levelheaded analysis. He's got very left-leaning politics. Not a good match for a libertarian-leaning/constitutionalist Republican candidate. I skimmed his blog...

Are you talking about this post? It was in another thread. I think we now have three different threads relating to that same article, so the guy certainly got his money's worth out of it.

To read this article you might forget that Ron Paul is a man with a twenty year congressional voting record, who has dozens of lengthy speeches in the congressional record and who has written numerous opinion pieces himself. This guy seems to have a hard time coming up with any facts about...

Changed already, so good for them. Every style guide I've ever read would have "libertarian" capitalized in a title or headline, as well as words other than prepositions shorter than 7 characters, etc, so I'm sure they didn't intend it as we read it. Most folks don't draw a big- vs little-L...

May God help us all if we remain this thin skinned. It's a satirical youtube channel. It's as worth of offense as Beavis and Butthead or South Park. And, despite myself, I thought the first two videos were kinda funny.

Hi republicanevaluator, Firstly, the quality of writing on that blog is such that only a mother could love, so let's give up any silly pretense that the poster above and the author of that blog entry are not the same person, ok? Moving on, you should understand that you appeared here as a...

I agree with Bradley. We're running dangerously close to turning into a bunch of drama queens, jumping up in outraged indignation every time someone offers which is unfavorable to Ron Paul. From my reading of the article, the author believes Dr. Paul's views about the fed are impractical and...

It's an odd article. On the most part, he gets his facts straight. He offers a fairly correct rundown of what Paul would do in office. It's his commentary that's so off base. Maybe that's what happens when you let a journalism major start offering political commentary. I think where he made...

Wow, I was all set to read a full-on smear and have a lively debate. This is really pretty tame, and at times borderline respectful. If the goal was a Ron Paul smear I give them a D-. However, if the website is, as you suggest, government funded I'm much more offended by that than I am about...

What a juvenile and utterly inflammatory post. CBS should be ashamed of having such nonsense on their site. I'd say the best course of action is to contact them and try to have them break their ties with Washington Monthly over such awful content. And, apparently, Mr. Drum has noticed us...

Regarding the kook thing, I disagree with you pretty strongly. I'd dare say Google news disagrees as well. Have a look at this article, where the very pro-Paul author says "So what do I mean by the title of my article? Simply this: Ron Paul’s opponents thought they could ignore his message and...
