Ron Paul's "Slip" during NHPR interview

[dspectre]

I don't think it is a huge deal, but you can email the campaign about it.

I wasn't trying to infer that it was a big deal. I just though it was interesting that Ron Paul had Buffett on his mind. Buffett was the Ron Paul of the House of Reps. in his day (late 40's to early 50's)

Maybe he meant to say Jimmy Buffett

When Ron Paul was being interviewed by the Laura Knoy of NH Public Radio, she asked him about welfare and how the poor would be taken care of. RP mentioned that in a wealthy country there would be a lot more "Bill Gates's and Howard Buffett's". Of course, he meant Warren Buffett. This wasn't a complete slip, though. Howard Buffett was Warren's father and a Republican congressman from Nebraska. He was also part on the Old Right, an antiwar libertarian. Here is a brief biography:

Maybe he ment to say Howard Buffett.

Does Warren share his father's libertarian views?

Was howard known to be a generous philanthropist? If so, then the point stands

Unfortunatetly, no. I think Casey's characterization of Warren is spot on. He regards him as a 'limousine liberal' 'idiot savant.'

Unfortunately, I don't think he does.

Are the posts in this thread out of order?

Yes. Josh has mentioned that he's aware of the problem in another thread.

This article, http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north538.html, on Lew Rockwell's site talked about Howard Buffet.

It is clear to all sides that Ron Paul is the most ideologically committed politician in the country. There has been nothing like him since Howard Buffett retired in the early 1950’s. Nobody remembers Howard Buffett today except hard-core libertarians and his son, Warren.
