Oh Brother, Now The Wall Street Journal Attacks Ron Paul

I am not making this up.WSJ is reporting on Ron Pauls "extreme" portfolio:

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul marches to his own drummer in politics – and in his investment portfolio, too.

Here at Total Return, we’ve looked at hundreds of the annual financial-disclosure forms in which the members of Congress reveal their assets and trades – and we’ve never seen a more unorthodox portfolio than Ron Paul’s.
Then they put this in which has nothing, zero to do with Ron Paul:

(In fact, The Wall Street Journal revealed problematic trading in Congress more than a year and a half before the “60 Minutes” episode that recently raised a ruckus over the same topic, but that’s another matter.)
Here's more from WSJ on Dr. Paul's "extremism":

But Ron Paul’s portfolio isn’t merely different. It’s shockingly different...
Then we get this idiotic comment which clues you in the the article is a total hit job:

Rep. Paul appears to be a strict buy-and-hold investor who rarely trades; he has held many of his mining stocks since at least 2002. But, as gold and silver prices have fallen sharply since September, precious-metals equities have also taken a pounding, with many dropping 20% or more. That exposes the risk in making a big bet on one narrow sector.

The machine is scared...The establishment has been shaken to it's foundation...Ron Paul talks the talk, and walks the walk....The liars inside the beltway and wall street will have none of that and they will stop at nothing to tear him down...America better wake up and embrace the Ron Paul message of "freedom, liberty, walk softly and carry a big stick" before it is too late
