This is an interesting topic, though, and one that bears more reading/listening because I'd be inclined to back Ron Paul over all the other GOP candidates just due to the fact that he's the most consistent. The GOP establishment knows this and so they're going after him to make sure he doesn't distract votes from Romney or Gingrich or create a rift when they know that beating Obama is going to be tough anyway.
Here's some investigation and parsing of the four year-old Kirchik article that Chait just cuts and pastes: http://takimag.com/article/why_the_beltway_libertarians_are_trying_to_smear_ron_paul/#axzz1gd3LRVW3 .

From Matt: On today’s episode, we have not one, but two Lee’s! We have Think Progress investigative reporter Lee Fang here to talk about the Koch Brothers and the Astroturf money that’s funding right wing causes. We have comedian and satirist Lee Camp here to talk about his new album Chaos for the Weary , and the state of political comedy in America. We’ll also be joined by Cindy Sunday from the Best Church of God , we will have royal wedding coverage from New York Times Style Writer Evgenia Q. Hernanadez Flotts, plus we will boldy go where no Matthew Filipowicz Show sketch has gone before. Our writer/performers today were Lauren Maul , Frank Chow and Kate Ward.

Also, take a second and review our show on iTunes! It really helps! Thanks! Thanks again for your support and hope you enjoy the show! Chow!
I had to take the day off yesterday. Had an MRI; it turned out okay, so that was a relief. My doctor prescribed me stronger meds, which are working. Take your health seriously. Here are your highlights: NASA is about to launch a new telescope into space . The police want to spy on you daily. They're spending funds on more Flock cameras . "Illegal and baseless." Judge calls out the Pentagon for their attacks on Anthropic. Climate change affects those with less. Gary, Indiana its latest victim . The Natalie Harp stuff gets worse. This election cycle should be fairly simple for Dems. Gas prices up! While Trump destroys the White House. Food prices up! While Trump says he's renaming Lake Ontario . Rinse repeat. We've got serious issues, and we've got serious solutions. Trump and Republicans would rather slap his name on the Kennedy Center than help you. I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.
The most corrupt president in our history is a sinking ship. Michael Cohen pleads guilty, Individual 1 is Trump himself. Hold onto your butts. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message
