Entry: Attack of the Reasonoids Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/attack_of_the_reasonoids#25082 Post contents: As I remarked over at Weigel's post: "Justin Raimondo releases plenty of venom to attack Reason for remarks like this one. I can’t see why such effort is worth it. Figures in the media and the academy who are content to discuss Ron Paul exclusively in terms of his alleged hatred and bigotry are typical and unremarkable. Why should I be any more upset because a crowd of self-identified “libertarians” belongs to the same team of cowards? Weigel is horrified that Paul might have allowed some unflattering remarks about ethnic minorities into his newsletter. That’s enough to delegitimize Paul in his eyes, no matter how noble Paul appears to be otherwise; no matter how urgently a movement like Paul’s obviously is needed; no matter how empty the field is of actual alternatives; no matter how vulgar and chaotic our political disorder becomes. So let Weigel go to hell with the rest of the establishmentarian priesthood. I won’t blink or lose any sleep." Sent at: 2008 05 16
