Read it to the end. This is NOT a rave review of Ron Paul but a illustration of hypocrisy and jolt to reality.

He gets to describing Paul's horrible side at the end.

1. Great article.
I'll call out anyone who is not on the right side of the issue. R or D...it doesn't matter.

I like SOME of Ron Paul's views but there are plenty of people on the left who have his anti-war views, his views about wiretapping, etc.

2. LOVE this part
"One other point: intense, fixated mockery of marginalized, powerless people has the benefit of distracting attention from the actions of those who are actually in power. "
