They have come to bury Ron Paul, not to praise him: Matt Welch of Reason dredges up some Ron Paul quotes from the 1990's in which he did *not* disavow his deplorable writings, despite his current claim to have done so. The Captain has more thoughts and background.
Oh dear. Not a Eulogy in sight.

OK, conspiracy theory time.
When was the last time the news media let a repub candidate slide on wack connections. That potentially might start a third party run. And draw down regular repub votes? (Anyone? Bueller?)
That would be Ross Perot. The first time a Clinton ran.
I've almost managed the full circle here; a little work and a lick of paint and I think it'll sell.

I pegged Pauliacs as Deaniacs months ago. Watch out at four o'clock.

Or racism.
Oh my gosh-- just compare this to the Macaca moment. How many times did the WaPo bring that up?

Well the silence of his otherwise dreadful minion on the internet is certainly welcome. You can tell something is changed, otherwise TM would be getting the most vile and vicious postings and hate mail right now from Dr. Paul's flock. Seems like the false flag ops, can not stand to march to a dirge composed by David Duke.
