I’ve been scratching my head on this one as well. Speaking for mainstream conservatives, we’ve known all along that Paul is a kook - or something. However, our left-wing friends have seemed to give Paul a pass. My guess is because they’ve seen the more effective and likable conservatives as bigger targets that they fear will pick up the centrist vote - much like what happened in 2010. No reasonable individual ever really took Paul seriously.

HAHAHAHA, yes, it’s liberals who’ve given Paul a pass. He’s part of your caucus, and his popularity is rising within it. Deal with the fact that he’s resonating with the Republican base right now because the Republican party’s latent racism is coming to the surface.

re: #28 NJDhockeyfan

I’m wondering, all these years the entire MSM has ignored all this. Why all of a sudden are they pushing this full blast?

Probably because right now he’s now a leading contender in the Anybody but Romney Sweepstakes. The major networks and newspapers haven’t paid much prior attention to him because Ron Paul never polled well outside the internet before. Now he’s riding a wave fueled by the promise of legalized weed and a repeal of the civil rights act, a redneck yokel’s wet dream.
