A few people pointed out that Ron Paul does not run this business concern. His face may appear on some of the coins, but I don’t think this title is accurate, “Illegal Ron Paul Currency Seized [more deatils, re: the ongoing “Liberty Dollar” follies]”
While I don’t think it was wise of Paul to let them use his likeness on the coins, and he may have received financial remunertion, he wasn’t an official of the company.
I’m not a Paul supporter by any means, but I don’t like the idea of making it look like this was his company.
Free Republic rules are that the complete original title must be used, when posting.
point well taken...but from the 9-11 truthers to the white supremists to these loons, he attracts a lot of nutjobs which is a concern....
It wasn't "wise" of Paul to lend his likeness to counterfeit currency, but he did it anyway.
It wasn't "wise" of Paul to accept campaign contributions funneled through a Nazi website, but he did it anyway.
It wasn't "wise" of Paul to appear on a truther radio show, but he did it anyway.
It wasn't "wise" of Paul to write a column for a white supremacist magazine, but he did it anyway.
At what point do you conclude that either Paul lacks any semblance of common sense, or he's simply comfortable with these crackpots' views? Surely this whole "hey, I had no idea they were crackpots" schtick is starting to wear a bit thin, no?
