It's hard to equate being against abortion, and esp. the repeal of Roe v. Wade -- hard to equate that with anarchism, as I understand it. Some Paul supporters have said that equating his fans with "anarchists" is a smear tactic concocted by the anti-Ron Paul media. Remember, nobody likes anarchists, still. It's a smear term in realpolitik. But honestly, the cult of white twenty- and thirty-somethings that are attracted to this guy -- it just pisses me off. He says things like "I wanna abolish the IRS!" that gets cheap applause. But his libertarianism is pretty selective, like most so-called "Libertarians" in the US. Libertarian on this, heavy hand of govt. on that.

"Of course, there is no such effort by anarchists to support Ron Paul. Perhaps it's a good thing that major mags like Time are having circulation problems. They can't even bother with basic fact-checking any more."
