- umjonny, on 01/11/2008, -2/+11"And so it’s understandable that over the past few months a lot of people have been asking why writers at the Cato Institute seemed to display a lack of interest in or enthusiasm for the Paul campaign. Well, now you know. We had never seen the newsletters that have recently come to light, and I for one was surprised at just how vile they turned out to be. But we knew the company Ron Paul had been keeping, and we feared that they would have tied him to some reprehensible ideas far from the principles we hold."
This speaks volumes about just how bad Paul's known associates are. The Cato libertarians had so little faith in these associates that they generally avoided associating with Paul. That may be a little paranoid as a general rule to live by, but it seems awfully prescient now. - Barbrady, on 01/12/2008, -2/+10Crazy Uncle Ron is toast.
- imwithmccain, on 01/12/2008, -2/+9Well written. If the "kindly" Dr didn't write them then who did? How did he not know about the newsletters? Why didn't he investigate them or bring a lawsuit to stop "them" from publishing the newsletters? You know what, Paul either wrote them or benefitted from their publications in the form of support or money. Does any other Prez Candidate have a problem like this? No. Paul benefits from this newsletters by the neo-nazi, skin heads, bigots, etc support he gets today. Writing them or not (I believe he did write some of them) he benefits from their publications. Time to get the neo-nazi supported Ron Paul out of the race.
- chaosium, on 01/13/2008, -0/+6Exactly. How the hell can you not know what's going on for something you received three hundred and sixty monthly checks for?
That's an insane amount of time to contribute information to a publication with your name on it, information about your life and career, personal messages from your family, and something you make a series of royalties off, and still not know anything about its operations. Considering that his own campaign staffers were/are involved, this is incomprehensible. - spankaccount, on 01/12/2008, -0/+6You have to admit, it's kind of easy to smear the crazy Dr, right?
- SpaceGoat1701, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5Whence did the meme come that Cato is "warmongering"? They've opposed the Iraq war from the start, and now, they're doing the same with any potential Iran war.

- inactive, on 01/13/2008, -1/+3OK. Great picture. Anyone can go have a picture taken with someone and even fund a few medals in their spare time. #1) So why then did he put out the newsletters with his name on them? #2) Why hasn't he filed a lawsuit against the parties involved? He has had more than a decade to bring a lawsuit and refute the words in more recent newsletters.

- nicmart, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2My support (including financial) ended with the disclosures about Ron Paul's newsletters and his known associates.
- sillyallah, on 01/12/2008, -2/+3Well written
- psients, on 01/13/2008, -1/+2This headline sucks, but it's an excellent article. It would be getting more diggs, if it first didn't appear so boring and generic.

- bigsid920, on 01/11/2008, -15/+3The Cato is the warmongering wing of the libertarian party (warmongering libertiarian? that's what they claim...is that possible? To CATO, it is). They have a small ax to grind to say the least. Buried. Go Ron Paul!
