Yes, Ron Paul is a Bircher

[FLAprogressive]

The factual record on Ron Paul and the John Birch Society is clear, and his association with the fringe organization that made itself famous by alleging that Dwight Eisenhower was "a dedicated conscious agent of the communist conspiracy" cannot be so easily brushed aside. In October, Paul delivered the keynote address at the Society's 50th anniversary dinner; prior to his speech he released a statement praising the "great patriotic organization." Nor is his involvement limited to this one address. When I reported my story last year, a Birch Society spokesman told me that Paul had spoken to the group about a half dozen times over the past decade. Sorry, but this is not the stuff of Barack Obama being at a dinner in the presence of Rashid Khalidi.

1. Ron Paul is an evil bigot who has a nice smile when he feels like it.

Lots of people on the very right like him because they feel he is more acceptable than some of their more obvious bastards, and he can go places that Rush, for example, can't.
Like putting lipstick on a pig, as I have heard somewhere....
