- jrskblx125, on 02/14/2008, -2/+6Agreed... that was damn good. i think Dr. Paul needs to talk in little kid language so the majority of america understands him and things like this don't get taken out of context. short sentences: i like apples, war is stupid, etc.
- Tdogg8008, on 02/15/2008, -2/+2It's too bad our country is that far down the education ladder that things explained to us has to be in a "little kid language". This is absolutely unacceptable. We deserve the government we vote for, and if we cannot comprehend the ideals and concepts in complex terms, then we are doomed to be led by corruption.

Or, alternatively, we - unlike you - aren't easily seduced by a cult of personality which spouts sophist ravings like gospel and expects us to drink it down like a ***** Mai Tai. Ron Paul is a naive, ignorant fundamentalist Christian who has absolutely no experience whatsoever with the things he talks about. Don't mind the fact that Hong Kong, where I've lived, employs libertarian principles more than any other nation on the planet and is an abject pit. Or that Chile and New Zealand failed so hugely under libertarian economic policy. Or that Scandinavia where I've also lived, comprised entirely of 'socialist' countries, consistently ranks as the happiest, most economically, socially and economically stable region on Earth. Surely libertarian THEORY is more indicative of reality than the results of libertarian PRACTICE.- Tdogg8008, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Oh, get your head outa your ass and see what's going on around here. Don't you have any idea the principles in which our country was founded on? Think about this - liberty, is more than just a theory. Liberty is why America has had it so good. But we're losing it! We're losing it because dumbasses like you keep following the beat to the new world order.

- BinarySeed, on 02/14/2008, -2/+3Thank you for writing this article. It clearly debunks 'factcheck' and I believe they should issue a correction online.
I like Apples.
War is Stupid. - zaero, on 02/14/2008, -2/+7Fantastic... Thank God! Someone wrote a point by point analysis of that Miller article from factcheck.org
- MiggyE, on 02/14/2008, -2/+5Newsweek is such a turd of a propaganda publication. Same with Time.

Write a brief but polite letter informing them of the potential damage this does to any reputation of impartiality of factcheck.org.
