Glenn Greenwald discussess the Ron Paul phenomenon.
I agree with many, but not all, of Paul's positions (we're diametrically opposed on Roe v. Wade, and I don't see how he squares his anti-abortion stance with the non-intrusive nature of many of his other ones), but I do agree with Greenwald's assessment that Paul's appeal stems from his "you political flacks are a bag of assholes who wouldn't know the Constitution if it fucked you with a '73 Buick" attitude.
