Anyway, I thought I'd at least offer up one post for the weekend. (There may be more, but I can't make guarantees.) And anyway, this is just a little too juicy.
Neil Stevens at Redstate.com reports that Ron Paul has proclaimed public support for...the John Birch Society. Yes, the Birchers, whose anti-Semitic and conspiracy-theorist ilk William F. Buckley unapologetically ejected from the conservative movement. Is this a big surprise? Not to those of us who understand where people like Dr. Paul come from. I can't say that his domestic policy of decreased spending and low taxes is unattractive, but it's the isolationism, the veiled anti-Semitism and white supremacism, the paranoia that should always tip you off. Endorsements from neo-Nazis and the KKK...the discovery of a long string of newsletters filled with racist rants...now, this endorsement of the JBS should be the final indication of who we're dealing with here. It's the same ugly paleo movement that produced Pat Buchanan's later presidential runs, David Duke and his trip to the Holocaust-denial conference in Tehran, and LewRockwell.com.
This says it best: A "Ron Paul for President" sticker on one of the bridges across the Red Cedar River, which bissects MSU's campus, was written on by a jokester: "LOL No."
