How can Ron Paul be a racist right winger AND "the most liberal, radical, left wing person" running for prez?

For the past week we have been told how Ron Paul is an extreme racist homophobe who caters to right wingers and militia types who are skeptical of the federal government.

NOW, apparently, Ron Paul is all of that AND he's a left wing liberal.

WTF? How is that this little old man has incurred the wrath of those on all sides of the political **establishment**?

http://news.yahoo.com/morris-ron-paul-most-liberal...

Ron Paul’s likely strong showing in next week’s Iowa caucus is causing him to take fire from all sides. The latest: Former adviser to Bill Clinton, Fox News Channel’s Dick Morris.

Morris, in an appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Wednesday, was asked by fill-in host Eric Bolling what he made of Paul’s rise. Morris’ reaction was one of extreme disappointment and caution.

“I think it’s horrible,” Morris replied. “I think that he is absolutely the most liberal, radical, left-wing person to run for president in the United States in the last 50 years. Nobody else wants to dismantle the military, including Obama, but he does. Even Obama doesn’t want to repeal the Patriot Act. But he does. Even Obama doesn’t say that we caused 9/11 and brought it on ourselves. But Ron Paul does. Even Obama doesn’t want to legalize heroin and cocaine, but Ron Paul does. This guy is no conservative. This guy is an ultra, ultra-left-wing radical.”

Update:

@louis......"he's 76 years old."

Not relevant to this question in the slightest.

    The same way Obama is a Fascist Communist who went to a Black Liberation Theology Christian Church and is also a Muslim, and who was born in Kenya and attended a school where only Indonesians could be inscribed, and happens to be Antisemitic and a Zionist puppet.

    It seems that everyone across the political spectrum is bad-mouthing Ron Paul. What is funny to me is that the local AM radio personalities are trying to convince the listening audience that Ron is the devil. Receint polls show that Congressional and Presidental approvals are very low. I think that the powers that be are terrified of losing their jobs.

    I turned the TV on earlier and watched part of "The Five." That lil monkey-looking guy said, "Ron Paul is like an old piece of Christmas candy you get at your grandmas house. You put it in your mouth and ewww." If that's all the RINOs have to say, then Ron Paul is going to win this.

    Have you seen this new Ron Paul endorsement?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rv0Z5SNrF4

    Bekindto..., grow a brain, stop repeating word for word what every FOX News contributor says. if his foreign policy is dangerous, please elaborate, explain to us why...

    Anyone who says Ron Paul is a radical Liberal doesn't know what they're talking about.

    Dick Morris is an idiot.

    He is a Libertarian, not a Republican. He is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. His foreign policy is off the wall. I like the fact he wants to get out of the UN and end the Federal Reserve charter. I also like it that he wants to be rid of much of the bureaucracy that is DC but his foreign policy is dangerous.

    Nobody has to tell me his foreign policy is dangerous. How do you think Hitler and Stalin happened in the last century. It was because nobody wanted to deal with it. We don't need 20 million people to die horrible deaths because our president wants to mind his own business. Then end up in another World War. Take your own advice. Read some history. Try thinking for yourself.

  • Nothing will change with anyone but Paul. The real power brokers know that.........he is a threat to their system.

    Ron Paul is just a small town John Birch member who panders to the ignorant voters of his district.
