Seems like trouble is brewing for Ron Paul and his liberty-loving acolytes.\u00a0 In two separate incidents this week, it appears that Rep. Paul is proving things aren\u2019t always as sunny as they seem in Paul-idise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first situation started when Ron Paul filed a complaint against his own avid supporters for the rights to domains containing his name.<\/span><\/p>\n

From<\/span>\u00a0RonPaul.com<\/span><\/a><\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier today,<\/span>\u00a0Ron Paul<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>filed an international UDRP complaint againstRonPaul.com<\/strong>\u00a0y\u00a0RonPaul.org<\/strong>\u00a0with WIPO, a global governing body that is an agency of the\u00a0United Nations<\/strong>. The complaint calls on the agency to expropriate the two domain names from his supporters without compensation and hand them over to Ron Paul.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They continue:<\/span><\/p>\n

If this is the real Ron Paul then everything we worked and fought for these past 5 years has been a sham and a waste.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems the originators of RonPaul.com worked hard for years to build and maintain the site, but if Paul prevails in gaining control of the domain name he will reap all of the rewards of their dedication.\u00a0 What a simply superb, yet\u00a0mildly<\/em>\u00a0ironic, life lesson in the cold, hard realities of extreme Ayn Randian self interest for them.\u00a0 As fun as that sounds, we think we\u2019ll stick to our commie, hippie liberal views.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out<\/span>\u00a0the comments<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0below the post about this fiasco on RonPaul.com.\u00a0 It\u2019s a sheeple-calling, libertarian Lord of the Flies-esque extravaganza!\u00a0 If it weren\u2019t so darned hilarious it would be very sad, indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also appears that Paul may have been being compensated twice for travel bookings\u2013once from supporters and again by that evil entity Paul and his supporters love to hate, the U.S. government.<\/span><\/p>\n

From<\/span>\u00a0Roll Call<\/span><\/a><\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Rep.\u00a0<\/span>Ron Paul<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0appears to have been paid twice for flights between Washington, D.C., and his Congressional district, receiving reimbursement from taxpayers and also from a network of political and nonprofit organizations he controlled, according to public records and documents obtained by Roll Call.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maybe, just like with<\/span>\u00a0the racist newsletters sent out in his name<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0for years\u2013that he likely earned untold amounts of money in subscription fees from\u2013Ron Paul isn\u2019t directly responsible for any of this at all.\u00a0Ron Paul: Freedom fighter, gold standard-lover, and bastion of personal responsibility.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
