The better question: Why does Ron Paul have followers??
Pot causes paranoia...

Why are they so touchy? It’s the drugs.
It's the crack.
The worst that is said about the other candidates is that they are flip-floppers or hypocrites or merely idiots.
Not a Ron Paul supporter...but I know I’d be a bit touchy if my candidate (if I had one) was off handedly dismissed as a nut w/o explanation.
I think conservatives should hold themselves to a higher standard than liberals. Simply stating “Ron Paul is a nutter” without any evidence to support that statement is no more valid than yelling “Bush lied, people died” when discussing the war
I’ve noticed this too, even from friends who support him. I think the reason for the defensiveness is simple. They realize he is a glass cannon - powerful in some respects, impractically fragile in others.. He makes some very cogent, valid points about liberty and limited government. He also makes some indefensible Lyndon LaRouche type magical mystery tours. Don’t kick the wheels on the glass cannon. They want it to shoot before it breaks.
My 1/8 of a cent... He is a Constitutional Purist, that means sovereign nations are sovereign regardless of their danger or our opinion of their danger to others. Every day I log on to FR and see many rabid anti- RP posts calling his supporters and the man himself a host of names. I look at The Constitution and find he is much closer to having true Constitutional ideas than most. Makes you see just how far we have strayed from the Original Intent by transferring wealth to whatever the cause de jour is. I have run into candidate pimpers on the board lately that support people I cannot imagine supporting. I think fear is driving people into some state of irrational behavior, hence the name calling. Romney & Huntsman supporters make me scratch my head. Obviously, FR has become infected with Libs. I call them FRINOS. Maybe after this cycle, sanity and debate will return. I never knew about the Federal Reserve Scam until a RP supporter discussed it with me. Now I could have just labeled him crazy and trusted the establishment on that one. I chose to listen find the truth for myself. This debate goes on in my house because my DH thinks only we can save Israel, while I trust God.
Lyndon LaRouche also has maniacally faithful supporters.
Mommy didn’t love them and daddy was never home? They’re tired of living in Mom’s basement? Obama hasn’t legalized pot and same-sex marriage yet?
Because they are defending the indefensible. It always makes people touchy.
He's been fingered by the mob?
Exile him and his supporters! Preferably to Pluto.
I don't think a Repub or a conservative wrote that.
So, maybe there's your answer.
Borrowing 43 cents for every federal dollar spent makes some people upset. 16 trillion in debt with unfunded liabilities for another 75 trillion makes some people upset. No knock laws, hate speech laws, property seizures and now warrentless searches makes some people upset, go figure.
