One of these books (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/145550145X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=libert0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399349&creativeASIN=145550145X) is not like the others. Can you figure it out? (Thanks to Lew Rockwell’s indispensable new Political Theatre blog (http://www.lewrockwell.com/politicaltheatre/).)

Only one of those books is about the message, the others are about the messenger.

That is pretty awesome!

Ron Paul wrote "Liberty Defined."

I'm am curious how many of the other books were written by 'ghost writers.' Does anybody know?

I don't know, but this one (http://libertymaven.com/2008/09/02/did-thomas-woods-write-ron-pauls-manifesto/1654/) may have been.

That book cover collage sends a pretty striking message.

I don't know, but this one (http://libertymaven.com/2008/09/02/did-thomas-woods-write-ron-pauls-manifesto/1654/) may have been.

The Washington Post lost credibility with me long ago. They distort the truth, so I never know what to believe when I read their crap.

This Washington Post article first makes a statement to discredit Dr. Paul, and then they contradict the statement within the article with a quote from the 'ghostwriter.'


The best-selling "The Revolution: A Manifesto" has become the centerpiece of a counterconvention by Paul that he has predicted will attract thousands of supporters to the Twin Cities.

But although the congressman from Texas has repeatedly called the book his own work, it was largely written by an unacknowledged ghostwriter, and it is unclear how much Paul contributed to the final product.


Woods confirmed in an interview that the letter is authentic, but said it overemphasizes his role in writing the book. "This is Ron Paul's book in every way," Woods said. When asked if Paul used a ghostwriter, Jesse Benton, his spokesman, said "They are all Dr. Paul's words."

Which is it? The Washington Post article is unclear.
