Ron Paul is resented because he and his supporters constantly claim there’s “no difference” between us and them. Of course, there isn’t, to any Liberterian.
If you can't understand the term "context," then I suppose you won't ever understand how comments made in 1988 relate. I think that if you take Dr. Paul's comments as a whole, it's clear he does see differences between Republicans and Democrats. However, the differences aren't great enough.
