** Not to mention the ''Doompaul'' meme that jokingly claims that if anyone else wins it's [[World War III]] and [[The End of the World As We Know It]].
* [[Name's the Same]]: Don't confuse him with transvestite reality TV host Ru Paul.
* [[Old Shame]]: '''Do not''' mention "the newsletters" in the presence of Paul or his supporters.<ref>[[Tempting Fate|Screw that, we're gonna mention them anyway.]] In the late '80s and early '90s, a number of newsletters were published in Paul's name and sent out to his supporters. The content of these newsletters was... [[Unfortunate Implications|a bit]] [[Right -Wing Militia Fanatic|unhinged]], to say the least. While whether Paul himsel personally pen any of the offending/offensive articles (some believe that the pundit Lew Rockwell had been the chief ghostwriter) is ambiguous, he did have editorial control over the newsletters' content. Paul has spent his entire career since then treating the newsletters as an [[Old Shame]], making several public comments denouncing racism in an effort to distance himself from their content.</ref>
** Speaking of the Newsletters... <ref> there's a supposed leak by Anonymous' "Operation Blitzkrieg" that apparently ties Ron Paul with Neo-Nazi groups. Anonymous denies that they did it (or did they?) and it can't be found anywhere on their "Operation Blitzkrieg" site or any Anonymous-based site, which lead to claims that it was a setup by the government to ruin Ron Paul's image. Be extra careful when talking about this, especially when near Ron Paul supporters.</ref>
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Many of his supporters, along with many people who are disillusioned with Obama, hate the current Republican party, and in many cases, politicians in general, think that he's the only decent candidate, Republican or period.
