  1. The speech is awesome (eta: except maybe the part about government’s borrowing; I have a bone to pick with Ron Paul on some of his thoughts there).

    The images are manipulative.Report

  2. Many of the bits about foreign policy and intervention could fit in the speeches of many liberal/lefty types over the last three decades. They didn’t get taken any more seriously by the media. And of course the members of Paul’s party were more than happy to call them traitors and commies. So yeah the media/MSM consensus hurt Paul and plenty of people Paul would call terrible people for favoring liberal policies. The MSM approaches anybody out of the centrist mainstream questionably.Report
