There was a Ron Paul for President booth at the Fighting Bob Fest in Baraboo. Run by the Capital Times of Madison, can't get further left than that.

Featured speaker, Cindy Sheehan.

Linking a Republican candidate with a moonbat, for legitimization, that was good enough to make the LA Time. Tough to criticize Dem candidates for something Rep candidates do too. An excerpt. Like the KOS thing, Republican's have nutballs too. Happy to provide a citation of that approach in a Congressional race if you don't think it will be used. Or you can simply search FR, it's posted.

Across the political spectrum my *ss, the far left and one pseudo Republican candidate. And a "Republican" to write about.

Progressives party it up in Wisconsin--Off the usual campaign trail, a fair draws more people across the political spectrum to celebrate, or just to see, some old-fashioned liberalism.

BARABOO, Wis. — As Russell Beecher, a lifelong Republican, wandered through the political picnic at the Sauk County Fairgrounds this weekend, he was reeling from the celebration of all things liberal.
Inside the fair's pole barn, hawkers sold hundreds of neon-orange "Impeach Bush!" T-shirts and "Say No to War!" buttons. Grandmothers in floppy flower-print hats gabbed about universal healthcare coverage. Aging hippies, gathering petition signatures to pull troops from Iraq, stood side by side with volunteers for presidential candidates registering voters and handing out bumper stickers.
Suddenly, Beecher spotted an island of respite: A booth promoting Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.
But the campaign volunteers were quick to promote Paul as a "different" kind of GOP candidate and remind the crowd that "Republicans used to be the party of liberals."
The fair, known as the Fighting Bob Fest, is an annual celebration of old-fashioned liberalism -- the really, really old-fashioned kind.
