Ron Paul's nutbucket brigade strikes again
Ron Paul's supporters need to worry about gettin' their guy elected before they go about sticking his face on currency:
"Federal agents raided the headquarters of a group that produces illegal currency and puts it in circulation, seizing gold, silver and two tons of copper coins featuring Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.
"Agents also took records, computers and froze the bank accounts at the 'Liberty Dollar' headquarters during the Thursday raid, Bernard von NotHaus, founder of the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act & Internal Revenue Code, said in a posting on the group's Web site.
"The organization, which is critical of the Federal Reserve, has repeatedly clashed with the federal government, which contends that the gold, silver and copper coins it produces are illegal. NORFED claims its Liberty Dollars are inflation free and can restore stability to financial markets by allowing commerce based on a currency that does not fluctuate in value like the U.S. dollar.
"'They're running scared right now and they had to do something,' von NotHaus told the Associated Press Friday. 'I'm volunteering to meet the agents and get arrested so we can thrash this out in court.'"
I couldn't find a picture of a Ron Paul Libery Dollar. Reckon it features ol' Ron wearing a tinfoil hat?!
