Ron Paul appears on "Meet the Press"

The liberal media conspires makes another strike against Ron Paul. This time, they've chosen to silence him by giving only one episode of "Meet the Press" rather than an entire month. The video is available online, as well as a transcript for people who don't feel like sitting through the entire interview.

In a nutshell: Ron Paul continues to advocate his magical taxation system without addressing any of the criticisms. Pork barrel libertarianism isn't hypocritical if your constituents really, really want them. You're not a hypocrite if you demand mandatory term limits to thwart the wills of voters and politicians, as long as you don't encourage voluntary term limits where you choose to resign on your own. The civil war was an evil plot by Lincoln to destroy the original intent of the public. Ron Paul doesn't believe in ghostwriters when Sinclair Lewis does it.

Missing from the interview are any news stories regarding Ron Paul's recent scandals involving his connections to white supremacists.

Not surprisingly, the Ron Paul martyrs of the internet are already on youtube crying persecution over the fact that there are journalists who are actually willing to take Ron Paul seriously enough to ask him some serious questions, rather than simply taking Ron Paul at his word.
