Libertarians have always had a strong presence amongst the geeks.<BR/><BR/>I've been looking into it, and I'm not buying the "Ron Paul is a racist" line. The only substance to it comes from one issue of his newsletter back in '92 (when he was out of politics.) He fumbled that a bit, but it's pretty clear he didn't actually write it. Even the magazine that brought the issue up concluded that he "had never uttered anything remotely like this." <BR/><BR/>Wikipedia actually has a good summary of this incident (even weirder, the page is not protected!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_paul#1996_campaign_controversyChurchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12793960528548962421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042066.post-33897595046031043312007-11-08T14:16:00.000-05:002007-11-08T14:16:00.000-05:00Hey, I didn't say it was <I>true</I>; I just said there was a lot of weird buzz goin' on about Paul and the nerd community.Z.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955198622421067159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042066.post-7969858067144010632007-11-08T13:56:00.000-05:002007-11-08T13:56:00.000-05:00re: ron paul being one of us?-- so nerds now have a history of speaking and lending legitimacy to racist originizations? mc front raps about a new world order? ytcracker has a large and passionate white supremacist following?<BR/><BR/>No thank you.shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03213119350946237500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042066.post-37769639706127375532007-11-07T13:51:00.000-05:002007-11-07T13:51:00.000-05:00That Doc Pop thing sounds kinda cool.
