Ron Paul supporters "white supremacists, anti-semites"

That's according to Joe McQuaid, publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader in an op-ed yesterday.

He worked the "truthers" into his rant too. I'm not sure what a "truther" is. I thought it was a reference to people who don't believe the official 9/11 story. What that would have to do with the Paul campaign I'm not sure.

What the anti-semite and racist references are intended to do I'm not sure either. Looks like a salvo of irrational name calling. Sometimes that happens when you don't actually have any arguments.

A good deal of McQuaid's opprobrium seems to focus on a distortion of Paul's stance with respect to Iran's nuclear program; it's not America's job to attack Iran. This becomes, in McQuaid's fevered imagination, Ron Paul wanting Iran to have nuclear weapons.

I think what's really got McQuaid's shorts in a twist is that he came out for Gingrich back in November and the Gingrich campaign has been sputtering ever since.

Take it easy, Joe. Look around you. Being the World Cop is bankrupting America.

It's time to change course.
