The attack on Ron Paul continues unabated. This time from (wait for it) Neo-con trolls at some FreeRepublic knock off.

Effective immediately, new users may *not* shill for Ron Paul in any way shape, form or fashion. Not in comments, not in diaries, nada. If your account is less than 6 months old, you can talk about something else, you can participate in the other threads and be your zany libertarian self all you want, but you cannot pimp Ron Paul. Those with accounts more than six months old may proceed as normal.

Sure, that's the recipe for success to the Republican party. Censor someone that wants to discuss something outside the box of boring, pointless election year tripe. Here's a guy that has more honest to god conservatism in brown flushable chunks than the red-diaper baby neo-cons have in their entire hateful bodies. But I digress. Then there's the response from some other guy I'm proud to say I've never heard of before:

Having been to the CLC, I disagree with Leon's assumption that these Paul supporters are all or mostly cryptoliberals. Plenty of libertarian-leaning Republicans exist in the party, along with the former Buchananites and isolationists of the GOP. Instead of cutting these people off, it might be better for Redstate to keep engaging them. After all, Paul will not be in the race all that much longer, and we need those voters to stay in the GOP when Paul disappears. There are worse impulses than libertarianism.

Holy Crap, do you mean it's OK if someone disagrees with you? That can't be. And what in the hell is a "cryptoliberal?" Judging from the context, I'm going to have to say it's someone that doesn't 100% buy every line of bullshit that drops out of the mouth of Bush or his legions of loyal sycophants.
