Dennis Hof on Why He Started "Pimpin' for Paul"

"I kind of like the way Ron Paul thought. I'm a libertarian, no question about it, just like John Stossel," says Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel, famously featured on HBO's Cathouse. In 2008 and 2012, he began raising money to donate to the Ron Paul presidential campaign under the banner "Pimpin' for Paul."

"States rights, make your own decisions. [Paul] doesn't want the Feds dealing with the states, and that's what Nevada's all about," he says, in this Reason TV excerpt.

States don't have rights. People have rights.

How is that tolerance thing going, proglodytes? Not so well, eh?

"Pimpin' for Paul."

How did such a winning tagline not propel Ron Paul to victory?

[Mint Berry Crunch]

This guy might present himself as a harmless pimp, but don't be fooled! "States' rights" is code for "I want to bring back slavery."

[M. Samuels]

"States' rights" means that the tyranny of the majority is A-OK when it happens at the state level but downright evil when it happens at the federal level.

[Free Society]

"States rights" as concept is discussing federalism, relationship between levels of government, not natural or electoral law. Albeit a dumb title, since "States" don't have rights per se.
