Ron Paul, Conspiracy Theories, and the Right - Conor Friedersdorf - Politics - The Atlantic

Ron Paul, Conspiracy Theories, and the Right - Conor Friedersdorf - Politics - The Atlantic


This is a good piece but as is often the case with articles concerning Ron Paul the comment section is also very instructive. Rapid and rabid defenses of Paul pile up, many of them obviously having failed to read the entire article. Many of them go off in a tangent from the article into defending Paul on relatively minor points mentioned and some of them just prove the point of the writer. In this case he refers to the conspiracy theories that Paul and more mainstream members of the GOP push and sure enough, some of the comments defend them as fact.
