A few were purged (George W. Bush leaps to mind) but once the newsletters came out, the “it’s guilt by association, they did it to Goldwater” line was much harder to push.

“The newsletters’ were much ado about nothing.”

Among FReepers who are smart enough to do 3 minutes of web searching and verify information for themselves, these ‘Paul turned me into a newt!” threads are actually creating Paul supporters.

What’s happening to Paul is pretty sad. Read Booker T. Washington’s quote about black “leaders,” and you’ll understand where I’m coming from. So-called conservatives in powerful positions have a vested interest in continuing the status-quo. Ron Paul is smashing that left/right paradigm that the two-party system have used to keep Americans divided.

If the newsletters were much ado about nothing, why is the Paul campaign line "He was too busy to watch that" instead of "What, I don't see any racist stuff in there?"

If the newsletters were much ado about nothing, why are Paul supporters wrestling with it in the same way that Dave Bonior had to wrestle with the Monica mess? Example here.

And are you really supporting a guy for leader of the Free World who couldn't manage a newsletter properly?
