Matt Stoller: Why Ron Paul Challenges Liberals

Seeded on Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:38 AM EST (Naked Capitalism Blog)

Matt Stoller on why liberals struggle so hard to deal with Ron Paul. Useful historical perspective and critique, but like other leftists, Stoller won't call Paul out on his extremist opposition to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and consumer protections.

- I am shocked that MSNBC and other cable outlets are burying this story. Imagine if Tea Partiers were dragged off the street in handcuffs? Coralled and maced? It would be one of those 24/7 video loop lead stories. Shame on the so-called Liberal media.

- Of course cats will take advantage of food and shelter if it is offered, but are you stuck with the responsibility? Over time, your ad hoc rescue program will not be sustainable, as more and more cats survive and reproduce thanks to your efforts! There are healthier and better alternatives.

- What's most interesting to me is that, having worked with Microsoft employees for many years as an agency person, their culture is definitely rather mediocre. They rely on bad research, for example, that is laughable analytically, to make decisions that should be based on creativity and initiative.

- I was disappointed and distressed by your implicit endorsement of the Bush Doctrine last night. You stated that if it were possible to do regime change in Afghanistan, we would have a legitimate security reason to do so.
Will Andrew's version of 'Straight Up' finally be forgotten by the 'Idol' judges now?
Tue Mar 30, 2010
- I never thought he was as bad as the judges did. If you listen to him, like you would on an MP3, he delivers conviction every time.
