Nick Gillespie Talking Ron Paul Today on WBAL, Smerconish, and NPR (!)

I'll be talking about Ron Paul and the GOP presidential nominating race on several radio shows today. Here ya go, a schedule with links to easy listening sites:

10am-11am ET: NPR's On Point

12.30pm ET: Smerconish.

1pm ET: WBAL with C4.

To recap: Over the weekend, I published a Wash Post piece titled "5 Myths About Ron Paul" and did a live chat about same. It's generating some interest, especially given the fact the the 12-term congressman and previous presidential aspirant (LP 1988; GOP primary 2008) is the only guy from either major party running a platform that calls into question precisely the sorts of policies that have landed us in war, debt, and a dismal fiscal future.

More Reason on Ron Paul.

You know who else talks about NPR . . .

[Rich]

Break a leg, Nick.

I understand that today is about hyping RP, but perhaps in passing you can get C-4 to mention his (C-4's) epiphany, which may help enlighten some folks in the audience.

Seems David Horowitz and Co. just can't stop showing the love ? today's contribution:

Why the Republican Jewish Coalition was right to give Paul the boot.

[Heroic Mulatto]

So, Republican Jews in America, all three of them, don't like Ron Paul.

This is news, why?

[Fist of Etiquette]

They're the original odd couple!

[Libertymike]

Who else here thinks that Smerconish deserves to have some agressive Jerry Sandusky horseplay?

The guy is an annoyingly obsequious twit.

[Joey Deeson]

Now there is a dude that clearly knows what is going on. Wow.

Both Harry Browne and Michael Badnarik were both against NAFTA, so I don't think Ron Paul's (and Murray Rothbard's) position is strange.

[Brandybuck]

Not strange, but still wrong. NAFTA was a first step. We need to go FURTHER and take the next steps needed to get true free trade. Getting rid of NAFTA takes us BACK to the days of full blown protectionism.

And yet you will be denounced as a willing lapdog of the KOCHtopus actively working to undermine Paul's candidacy.

There is one other candidate running that addresses those issues.

"As someone who has written and commented widely and generally sympathetically about Ron Paul, I've got to say that The New Republic article detailing tons of racist and homophobic comments from Paul newsletters is really stunning. As former reason intern Dan Koffler documents here, there is no shortage of truly odious material that is simply jaw-dropping.
I don't think that Ron Paul wrote this stuff but that really doesn't matter--the newsletters carried his name after all--and his non-response to Dave Weigel below is unsatisfying on about a thousand different levels. It is hugely disappointing that he produced a cache of such garbage."-- Nick Gillespie
