Time / CNN article! Libertarians: A ( Not So ) Lunatic Fringe- Ron Paul, Barr discussed

I thought it was more pro- Ron Paul and way less so to Root and Barr! And they also put the video in of Ron Paul explaining the gold standard and pointed out our supporters are focused on integrity and consistency of principles!

Also I thought it was good to see (again) that Ron Paul is not going to be endorsing anyone!

It was, to me, a major improvement ( granted not perfect ) coming from Time/ CNN !

First off, I don't care for your attitude. You might wanna watch that. Secondly, this article stinks to high heaven of smear. I think it's about Time for a Revolution.

"First there was the Ron Paul revolution, in which an avuncular 10-term Representative from Brazoria County, Texas, raised more than $34 million as a pseudo-Republican candidate,"

so Dr.Paul is a crazy uncle pseudo Republican.........

"Now there's the Libertarian Party, which sold a little bit of its hard-line liberty-loving soul in exchange for the most respectable candidate it has ever had: recently converted former Republican Congressman Bob Barr,"

the most respectable candidate ever .........

"The selection of John McCain was a final insult--most libertarians view him, fairly or not, as pro-war, anti-gun, pro-environmentalism and anti--free speech (thanks to his advocacy for campaign-finance reform)."

fairly or not ...........

"As you might guess, things that come between a Nevadan and his land don't sit well, and over the past decade, there's been nothing more disruptive than the environmental movement's good intentions."

the environmental movement's good intentions ..............

What double standard? Obviously, Ms. Belle's point is that the article is an indication that the liberty movement is attracting sufficient support to mandate less blatantly biased coverage. The article is not without its condescending aspects, but it's an improvement over the usual, wouldn't you say?

What is your criticism?

This article actually came in my mail today from the libertartian party... which my husband belongs to!

excerpt on page 2 :

"Barr's moderation may keep him from tapping into Ron Paul's base, which rallied around its candidate for one of the most uncompromising campaigns in recent memory. In an interview in his congressional office, Paul told me there's a reason he had so much success, particularly with younger voters. "They're idealistic. They like consistency. They like principle," he said. For a sense of his hard-line heart, consider the fact that his signal issue was the gold standard"

There is also a video embeded in the article- Time interview of Ron Paul on the gold standard !
