In much the same way that liberals' eyes glaze over when you start talking economics, the Ron Pauliens' and Truthers' eyes glaze over when you start communicating the severity of Islamic Jihad. It doesn't matter how many times you try to explain it to them, they will default to the Ron Paul position, which is: Muslims hate us because we're overseas and the violence we experience as a result is 'blowback.' That position taken just one tiny step further is that America's support of Israel is a problem. Many of the Pauliens believe withdrawing our support for Israel is necessary as well.
Ron Paul is the Jekyll and Hyde candidate. If you start talking to him about economics and auditing the Federal Reserve, he makes perfect sense and could actually lead on many of those issues. Once you start talking to him about the Muslim Brotherhood, Jihad, etc. you get incoherent ramblings that are on par with those of a toddler after too much cough syrup. As a Fed Chairman, Ron Paul may be the best candidate. As a president, he would be a disaster.
Here's Ron Paul on Hannity. Note how he says there are 'radicals in all religions.' Geesh.
