Ron Paul: He's the Aspergian savior
A friend sent me this today, thought I'd share. This sums him up quite succinctly imho....

He's the Aspergian savior
Socially isolated, literalist white men who don't understand human behavior or motivation, but are quite attached to the pure idea(l)s. Ayn Randists, militant anarcho-vegans, cyborgs, anti-tax crazies - all of them latch on to this guy. He has sway with the leftist greenies I know, which is bizarre, since he would spell the end of the EPA, etc, so kiss your clean air/water goodbye.

1. Never heard the term "Aspbergers" used as a perjorative before.
Can't say I'm all that impressed.

3. Electioneering. No group is unscathed.
Like water off a duck's back, best to let it drip and paddle onward.

Anyone or anything can become a pejorative. If people want them to.

5. Would you want to see a complex dick?
And not the type seen in Playgirl either?

10. Another high brow response.
I never expected that.

(I should profile you and see whose responses you berate and which you applaud. If I cared enough.)

4. militant anarcho-vegans
Why disparage the militant anarcho-vegans? The ones I know support Kucinich. :P

Visit YouTube sometime, click open a popular vid and bask in the glory of RP spammer comments

12. Actually...
I don't like Ron Paul. He seems like an honest man with a bunch of really bad ideas. I want Edwards to be president, but any of the other Democratic candidates would be okay too.

15. Aspergian?
Are they SERIES??//?//??

For openers, there are plenty of people on the Asperger's/autism spectrum aren't white men. (How else did we end up with an "AspieGrrl"?)

I've never had the pleasure (?) of seeing video of Dr. Paul, and so can't even make a Fristian pseudo-diagnosis. I can, however, tell you that "Guess who has autism/Asperger's?" is a favorite parlor game in our nascent subculture; I once read speculation that Al Gore might be "one of us"!
