The New Republic’s servers, apparently, are having some problems with the load this article on Ron Paul and his racist past (And present!) is generating.  You can understand why. And after reading it you can also understand why the Paulbots

I note with some amusement the flack Jonah is getting form the Left… such as Matt Stoller and Glenn Greenwald…for example, over this:

I fully recognize that taking Paul Krugman down a peg or three is akin to arm-wrestling an infant. The contest can only go one way, Krugman’s going to loose…and the winner is invariably left with the task of dealing with
