What Is Ron Paul Thinking? Sues To Unmask Anonymous Internet Users
- noonespecial 15y agoRon Paul isn't really used to being a Big Deal. He's going to have to be super vigilant to keep "his people" from doing(1) some very un-Paul-ish things now that he is. I don't think he's going to be very good at it. (1) And advising him to do as he darts between appearances, where a distracted nod can authorize something that a moments thought would never allow.
- gyardley 15y agoI don't understand the mind of Ron Paul in the slightest, but if I had to guess, I'd guess he's thinking something like "everyone and their dog has criticized me for the content of my old 1980s-era newsletters and the handful of times I've let myself be photographed alongside some Klansmen -- if I want to put that line of criticism to bed, I'd better come down on this racist hard, with both feet."

I could believe that his campaign staff filed it, but if so, he better stop it quick. I feel a little dirty like I'm stretching to defend him. But this is pretty out of character.

- kls 15y agoTo me it seems like their may be more to the story, like possibly an indication that this was posted by another candidates PAC to make Paul look bad or something. If so it would be illegal and needs to be investigated. I don't have any information as to whether that is the case or not but it seems like the only plausible reason to go to such efforts.
- justncase80 15y agoMaybe he thinks he knows who they are and knows that being unmasked publicly would be really embarrassing for them? Such as one of the other republican nominees.
