Who's Afraid of Ron Paul?

The Atlantic.com's Ross Douthat penned an interesting yet mixed brief article on what he's coined "The anti-Ron Paul hatefest." The fact of the matter is that he's right on the button regarding the modern conservative movement's treatment of Ron Paul, especially with regards to his position on the war in Iraq.

Here's a snipped excerpt of a paragraph of the article in question:

[T]he reason Paul has been treated differently than Huckabee by the right-wing media is very, very simple, and it has nothing to do with size-of-government issues: Paul opposes the Iraq War (and war with Iran, waterboarding, and all the rest of what's increasingly defined as the right-wing foreign policy package) and Huckabee doesn't. Full stop, end of story.
