Not just Rockwell, I think. There seems to be more than one writer, judging by the varying tone of the columns.
As I’ve said on other threads, a lot of the internet support for Ron Paul can be traced to Rockwell or Justin Raimondo.
Both Antiwar and lewrockwell used to have a banner listing the other as a sister site. Both are linked to the Von Mises Institute where lew rockwell is the president. Raimondo is a policy analyst at the Center for Libertarian Studies. CLS is formally affiliated with the Von Mises Institute. The links between Antiwar, Von Mises, lew rockwell are many. They are all avid supporters of Ron Paul.
Hey!! Ron Paul just won a straw poll! Maybe someone can finally see his support is NOT coming from conservatives.
A DEMOCRATIC PARTY STRAW POLL
It may be snowing here in Washington, D.C., but the sun is apparently shinning on Congressman Ron Paul, who edged out Senator John McCain in the 2008 Democratic Party Republican Straw Poll. Meanwhile, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani ended up in a familiar place: sixth.
Top 3 results: Candidate % Rep. Ron Paul 25.72%
Sen. John McCain 24.73%
Gov. Mike Huckabee 17.17%

It's time for a look at the real Rockwell and his agenda.
Check out this thread on another potential link between Rockwell and Ron Paul.

The essence of this thread is that the Constitution Party is courting Ron Paul.
According to one poster there, the Constitution party is linked to the League of the South.
FYI, Lew Rockwell was one of the founders of the League of the South. Also, there have been several pro ron Paul articles posted on the Constitution Party website.
One begins to wonder after reading the article starting this thread on Paul’s long term political strategy and the Constitution Party thread if Ron Paul may be pulling a gigantic scam on gullible conservative republicans. Here’s the outline of the potential scam. Ron uses his republican credentials to raise a large sum of campaign cash then uses this cash to run as the Constitution Party nominee.
