>The extraordinary lack of coverage of Ron Paul  - Eric de Carbonnel - Market Skeptics
As I mention in a response to another article this 'snubbing' of Ron Paul, probably true to some extent, may be more a reaction to his inane and naive foreign policy views than his encomic accumen or perceived threat to the status quo. In the recent debate his let out two whoppers: that he would allow the States to coerce their citizens into paying for health care, and that he could care less if Iran had nukes.

Forcusing on Iran, Paul brushed away Iran's many vocalizations that they will destroy Israel...and the United States (still the Great Satan). Paul also questioned Iran's ability to deliver a nuke without a missile system, overlooking their continued testing of missles and the ability to set off dirty bombs without such a system.

And months earlier, Paul had said that Obama should have consulted with Pakistan before going after Bin Laden...the most naive comment I've ever heard a serious politician make!

In fact, better for Paul to be snubbed than for these views to be widely spead by the media.
