There is no hate here for Ron Paul, I can see. Many of us love his economics. But there’s plenty of hate from Paul fans for non-Paul-fans. We’re haters, warmongers, rinos, neo-cons, even idiots; anything they can say to cover up their complete lack of rational argument. I’m no “establishment” guy here, I’m mostly a Randian myself (You’d think that’d make me a Paul fan, right? Yaron Brooke isn’t either, so that’s not really so much the case.) What arguments they do have are outdated statistics, blatant assumptions, appeals to authority (most troops support him is my favorite) and a whole army of logical fallacies typically popular with leftists (most prevalent is false equivalency [they disagree with me; therefore they must hate me], which is the same conservatives are mean because they poke holes in our theories logic the Dems use.)

What you Paulites need to realize is that he could win if it weren’t for you. What hurts Paul’s campaign more than his naive foreign policy is his association with people the mainstream perceive as crazy. You do nothing with your irrational and emotionally charged rhetoric to allay that perception. I know you’re not crazy, for my part I think you’re naive and misguided, but you sure act like you’re crazy. I assume that is because you are passionate. More power to you. But you have to learn temperance. Not only do you offend and insult people like me, which has no bearing on you, but you make the rest of the electorate think you’re crazy, and by proxy, your favored candidate. Also, many of you use the style “He’s the only candidate who can…”. That looks worse from outside than you seem to think. It looks like worship.
