Entry: Ron Paul Rising Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ron_paul_rising#7879 Post contents: Bob, "It was easier to smear Buchanan because he fought back and in ways they could understand and at a time when the public was not totally fed up with politicians." True, Buchanan played into the stereotype right after his win in New Hampshire by going to Arizona, donning a cowboy hat and hoisting a rifle over his hear. He became a caricature. He should have played against type and gone to a Soup Kitchen to boost the "little platoons" or to a factory and addressed those feeling the pain of "globalization". I agree though, Ron Paul should be harder to slime in terms of his persona, hard to label policy positions, and public disgust with the political class significantly more pronounced.
