Ron Paul, race-baiter? YIKES!

Dear Congressman Paul:

Please explain what's so libertarian about those scary militia dudes and white supremacists you're so chummy with? I mean, the militia dudes are obsessed with the Second Amendment to the Constitution, but aren't too interested in the rest of the amendments. And that Christian Identity group that endorsed you? Congressman, you really should rethink that endorsement. They're a bunch of quasi-religious racist nuts.

While you're at it, please explain the bigoted commentary in that newsletter of yours. These kinds of statements have a way of coming back to haunt presidential candidates. Just ask Rudy Giuliani. Of course, Rudy never tried to dodge criticism claim that his writings were ghost-written.

It's pretty sad the way a purported "conservative libertarian" would see kindred spirits in people who don't share his much-vaunted for libertarian values.

Congressman Paul, perhaps you should go back and re-read the Constitution.

Update: Dennis Sanders of Neomugwump weighs in on Congressman Paul.

They forgot to mention "(C) fucking slow." Don't the people at the MTA feel really stupid when they say shit like this? MTA CEO Lee Sander said, "We really are sorry about the inconvenience that New Yorkers had to deal with. In terms of how it happened, we had three inches of rain in an hour. The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in...

Some perspective, please

Yes, President Obama isn't perfect. Yes, he should just close Gitmo already. Yes, it would be great if he'd act on his campaign promise of more transparency in government. But c'mon, people, he's not another George W. Bush. A quick comparison of their administrations will show this. Criticize the guy, sure, but let's not pretend it's still 2005, hear?
