Matt Yglesias has been hammering the faux "libertarianism" of Ron Paul for a while now, and today TNC nails what Paul is: a cranky, old racist.
To me, Paul used to be what McCain was in 1999-2000: the crotchety Republican darling Democrats and Independents used to show that their hatred of Republicans wasn't irrational; after all, they liked McCain, since he was a "straight shooter" who said outrageous things and pointed out his own party's shortcomings. And yet, like with McCain, a closer look at Paul reveals him to be not only a shitty person, but quite literally a hazard to society.
