Not that anyone reads or pays attention to facts on these threads, but I think it's only fair to point out that Ron Paul has nothing to do with the Liberty Dollar other than their having appropriated his name for one of their products.

Ron Paul Dollar on www.libertydollar.org

"All this [the creation and sale of the Ron Paul Dollar] will be a big surprise to Dr. Paul. As Liberty Dollar's legal counsel pointed out, if Ron Paul's campaign was informed before the launch date, the Federal Election Commission could require profits in excess of $2,300 (the maximum individual donation allowed) to be distributed to the Republican Party! So the Ron Paul Dollar was created as an "independent contribution" and is distributed through the grassroots Volunteer Network.

(Emphasis added.)

Sorry for the interjection of reality. Please return to your Two Minutes Hate.

Actually, it was pointed out many many posts up that there is no indication that Paul is affiliated with this and the debates have been on the validty of the dollars, not on Paul.

I don't see a denial that L.Ron knew in advance. I don't see a cease-and-desist letter regarding L.Ron's name and likeness. All I see is an attempt to establish plausible deniability.
