The media does such a good disinfo job that the average person ends up only finding a few people they are passionate about - and then everyone else is a letdown.. It's because the people the media portrays well are evil and it's easy to find bad things about them - and the media portrays good people as 'threats' or 'racist' or some other hyperbole. Ron Paul seriously should get some kind of medal for being called 'racist' for his entire career while all he wanted to do was get people to think in terms of liberty.
