Ron Paul is still a racist asshole

[freshwest]

12. WTH is up with the script? It doesn't match at all. Is their transcriber a Paulie?

Seriously, the Paulies dismissed what he cited in 2007 and 2008. But like Rush's dialogue, those deleted comments, planted seeds.
I know a number of Paulies and they have blinders on about this and filter out any argument that they sense comes from liberals or Democrats. Most of them fancy themselves as well-educated and amateur philosophers.

A more effective way to make them understand where we are coming from is less name-calling and more information. I urge anyone talking to a Paulie to not fall into identity politics. That is a tool of the 1% and only gets their hackles up.

I'm linking an article here that gives tools to expose what Ron Paul represents in a more effective way than calling him a racist. Ask them to refute this:

'How Freedom Became Tyranny'
