talk about name calling!

and your premise that because he won't win, it's paranoid to discuss what he says or believes is ridiculous.

his ideas get lots of coverage even when we do not discuss them. discussion here helps people understand not only things Paul has said, but the flaws in what he's said and responses to his arguments.

the idea that you are calling us paranoid for discussing Paul is insulting and wrong.
