My Comments
Is this what hipsters are doing for fun these days? I get it - you don't like Ron Paul. He's not my candidate either (that would be Barack Obama) but this is just mean-spirited. The man's views on foreign policy are much more well-informed than those of every other GOP candidate. Somewhere along the way Asperger's Syndrome became every armchair psychologist's favorite thing to diagnose more idiosyncratic individuals with. OK, he can be socially awkward, has nervous twitches, and has an intellectual focus on the gold standard (a less popular concept than, say, "change" or "9/11") - suddenly he has Aspergers? Oh wait, some people who support him have Aspergers, that means he has it too. I guess that means Rudy Giuliani is a straight-up retard (oh wait, that might actually be true).
