If writers like this one fell off the face of the earth tomorrow, it would be a better place. What a dick.

Did you read it? I thought it was pretty decent actually. The title is misleading though.

they ALL say that. It also says he is different and the only GOP candidate who could show up without basically a riot. It does try to make it sound like there is something WRONG with individual liberties v collectivism but it really fails to justify that, so the comment seems out of place.

He makes a case that Ron Paul is different from the rest of the GOP. Definitely not a hit article.

It is a campus. Smelling weed isn't exactly uncommon at a campus.

Ya, but smelling it in several places within a large crowd in a small vicinity is generally indicative of a music or 4/20 event.

He is making this case to a very liberal audience too.

Also mentioned in the article, apparently on the same day of the speech, UC Davis Chancellor was censured in relation to the events the day of the pepper spraying:
