Exactly correct. The "Ron Paul is a nut" crowd is just repeating a well-orchestrated piece of Soros propaganda - some unwittingly, some quite deliberately. The goal is to kill the messenger before people start listening to his (once considered bedrock conservative) message in time to act against "The Agenda" that Soros, Obama, and the gang are putting in place.
That's because nobody "owns" Ron Paul other than Ron Paul, himself. Virtually all the rest are part of the globalist "let's rule the world" club, they are "under control". Ron Paul isn't.
I bet that they can't even find anything to blackmail Ron Paul with and that really frustrates them.
