Here is my article at Liberty Maven denouncing the recent Newsweek hit piece on Ron Paul.
http://www.libertymaven.com/2008/02/13/newsweek-swings-and-misses-at-ron-paul/
Newsweek’s Joe Miller has published a “web exclusive” article on Ron Paul denouncing him on three points:
1. Ron Paul supports the “conspiracy theory” of the NAFTA Super Highway and the creation of a North American Union.
2. Ron Paul has stated that America could save $1 trillion by cutting foreign spending.
3. Ron Paul has flip flopped on the support of Ronald Reagan.
I’ll ignore the merits of allowing these types of inconsistencies to sway your vote one way or another for now. Instead let’s investigate them one by one.
On the NAFTA Superhighway and the NAU, Miller accuses Paul of believing in conspiracy theories that are far from truth. His argument can be summed up thusly, “Ron Paul is wrong on the NAU and NAFTA Superhighway because the organizations that are advocating and funding these projects told me they don’t exist.” This is “hear-no-evil, see-no-evil, speak-no-evil” journalism.
