Found on Youtube: Ron Paul v. youth obesity


This video comes from a 1988 television appearance by current presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul. In 1988, Dr. Paul ran for president as a libertarian candidate and appeared on a talk show hosted by notorious nutcase Morton Downey, Jr. We're glad that Ron Paul seems to have chilled out a little since '88, and also that he's no longer inclined to insulting overweight kids.

We're not saying we support Ron Paul (actually, we were a little terrified when we saw him on The Colbert Report), but we are saying that we support Ron Paul being a BAMF. It looks like things heated up even more after the video cuts off - do you think the standoffish guy with the glasses or the angry girl diving at the microphone got involved? Youtube always leaves us wanting more.
