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.

Excellent point.

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

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

It's reminiscent of the dustup over his newsletter/campaign flyer. It goes out as a piece authored by Ron Paul with a number of clearly racist comments, interestingly a comment on the evil Israeli lobby similar to remarks attributed above.

The explanation, not my feelings, someone wrote it for me. Fine as far as it goes, but leave open the question of why an outspoken racist would be in a position of trust sufficient to actually author something in Ron Paul's name. Very poor character judgement, or a tolerance for racists. Which doesn't make him a racist as his cultists will soon accuse me of saying.
