Ron Paul is inconsistent.

Charen cites the Libby example as Paul being "inconsistent?" ROFL! This is a non-sequitur of biblical proportions.

Ron Paul is historically challenged.

Both Ike and Nixon did end the Korean and Vietnam Wars, respectively. Ike threatening China or whatever Nixon did isn't really germane to the discussion. Charen only included these points to convey that Paul would be a weak CIC, but Paul has always supported a strong defense and you can bet he'll retaliate against anyone who threatens our interests.

Ron Paul is unserious. Suggesting that you will eliminate the IRS, the CIA, the FBI and other government agencies within weeks of taking office is ridiculous. These are bumper stickers, not serious reform proposals.

Paul has stated on numerous occasions that he would work with Congress to build a consensus on abolishing federal agencies. Charen isn't a conservative if she's whining to keep the IRS, the Army would conduct intelligence, and Paul has never stated that he'll eliminated the FBI. Charen is your typical MSM conservative. The important thing is, is that he has swung the debate pendulum back to the right, after years of it being dragged to the Left & feckless Republicans.

4. Ron Paul is too cozy with kooks and conspiracy theorists. As syndicated radio host Michael Medved has pointed out, Ron Paul's newspaper column was carried by the American Free Press (a parent publication of the Hitler-praising Barnes Review). Paul may not have been aware of this. But though invited by Medved to disavow any connection, Paul has so far failed to respond.

All of this has been explained/debunked. Being a Rudy shill, Medved has no credibility.

"Jesse Benton, communications director for Ron Paul for President 2008, said he was unaware of the existence of Stormfront until just a few days ago, though Stormfront radio endorsed Paul in mid-October."

"As for what the campaign will do with the supremacist donations, Benton said white supremacists are wasting their money on Paul, a physician and long-time congressman from Texas. "We are not in the business of trying to track who is giving us money," Benton said. "If they want to waste their money on us we will take it and use it to promote freedom and individual rights, not their agenda."

Charen is just another one of those beltway conservatives, like George Will is.

Not like it would matter to all the closed minds - but is it OK to post this guy’s entire response here? http://www.theagitator.com/

She might be, but Ron Paul is still a kook

Yeah, you know, Charen really did fall short of the mark here. She forgot to mention that Prawn Paul is a traitor who gives aid and comfort to the enemy.
