I don't enough about Rittberg to characterize him, but Paul and his supporters do, and it's their opinion that counts. That Ron Paul would retain a total wackjob, a liar, and advocate of prostitution, a veritable lunatic, as a valued staffer, in fact in supervisory positions, for over a decade points to Ron Paul's complete inability to judge character, imo obvious from the places he accept support. This is not a good recomendation for even a supervisory position in government, say postmaster, much less a position from which he'll be appointing judges and Cabinet members.
My guess, if Rittberg wore a "Pull the Troops out NOW!" T-shirt, he'd be described as an accomplished long term member of the Paul team.

Ron Paul is perfectly willing to hire Rittberg and to appear on Alex Jones' program.

Rittberg was more conventional early on. He just became more and more a nutjob over the years. Finally, Ron Paul and the Republican Liberty Caucus and the Libertarian Party all disavowed him.
Dondero/Rittberg did this to himself, no one else. You know, at the end, he even called in and attacked Harry Browne on his last radio broadcast. The rest of the RLC, Ron Paul, the Libertarians Rittberg hung out with didn't change. Rittberg did.

Guess again. Rittberg wore out his welcome pretty much everywhere years ago. He's only relevant to anyone now because Ron Paul is running for president.

...[an] advocate of prostitution ...Not to twist the topic of the thread, but I'm curious -- what would be the problem of legalizing prostitution?
