We have to combat this! We cannot let this one slide. They're trying to pigeon hole us, and if we don't fight back, they'll keep doing it. We HAVE to take action.
Here is the hit piece:

Here is a key part that we HAVE to fight (there's plenty in the article to compalin about, but this is key for many reasons -- it's subtle, but it's insidious.)...
Then, in the third-quarter fundraising reporting period, the 72-year-old political veteran surprised many political observers by raising $5 million, 78% of it online, and a total that's five times as much as the better-known Mike Huckabee, who is taken more seriously. But although Paul languishes in single digits in most polls, money talks in politics.
Who is taken more seriously by WHO!? Demand to know the answer WHO he is taken more seriously by. DEMAND IT. Call them up. Email them. DEMAND to know who Huckabee is taken more seriously by. If they're going to print that and just leave it hanging we NEED to hold them accountable for the statement. Ron Paul SHOULD be taken more seriously because Ron Paul has the money, and the supporters. Huckabee doesn't even have polling numbers to justify this statement.
DEMAND IT!
