Ron Paul

Over at his Reuters blog, Jimmy Pethokoukis has been subjected to the same type of personal comments attack that CG&G's own Bruce Bartlett did for taking a similar position as Bruce on Rep. Ron Paul's proposal to have the GAO audit the Federal Reserve's monetary policy operations.  After looking at the comments, it's hard not to conclude that this was a coordinated assault (calling it a "response" would be far too mild).  In fact, many of the comments use remarkably similar language.

(Like Jimmy P's blog, CG&G moderates the comments it receives and some of the most vicious responses to Bruce's post were deleted.  We love comments that further the discussion, but those that are vile never see the light of day.)
