I’ve been following the Ron Paul threads here quite a bit. I’ve discovered an irrational hatred of the man and a complete refusal to actually read his positions on war, terrorism, government, taxes, etc. His statements are frequently taken out of context or mis-reported (is that a word?) I finally realized tonight that it’s useless to try to point this out to the anti Ron Paul crowd because they won’t listen or think.

I don’t recall the outrage against Bill Clinton as hateful as that against Dr. Paul and anyone who supports him. Truely an oddity on a conservative forum.

I don’t recall

Is that you Hillary?

Good points. I've said it before, it appears there is a new "derangement syndrome." The over the top hatred, ugly nastiness, knee-jerk reactions and jumping to absurd conclusions... it IS an oddity and pathetic, imo. And you're right that many of them don't look into his actual positions and will believe the worst (this thread is a good example of that). But I don't know if it's entirely useless yet. I'm the kind of person that hates to see misrepresentations or lies just sit there, unresponded to. And I think there are some people who don't support Paul but are still somewhat reasonable and don't have PDS. ;-)

Ron Paul is not even supported by FR’s founder or management. There is a reason. The fools that follow this clown are no conservatives.
