Yah He may be a racist from his publication in the 90’s. I mean I wonder If John Mccain or George Bush ever got a donation from a racist. Especially since Mccain is going up against a black man. Further more is it Ron Paul’s job to know the ideologies and beilefs of every supporter? The publications from the 90’s may prove him to be racist. He denies he wrote them but he has been Pretty honest in the congess so far. Even Mccain said Ron Paul was the most honest congress man. Even if he did write them that was about 18 years ago. Maybe he realized his mistakes and has changed since then. Could he be a racist? It’s possible. Should it matter? He is going to make the goverment to small to discriminate so no. If you don’t like him because he MAY be a racist don’t vote for him. If you like his stances then check out Bob Barr and Dennis Kucinich.

Paul has not suspended his campaign like Romney has, so he’s not actually out, but for all intents and purposes it is over.

You're a month late. He's gone already, hotshot. The Paul Bearers are now in mourning.

I’m sure RP is a huge racist…who just so happens to want to support constitutionalism, liberty, and rights for everyone without any special treatment for any social group or class. Yeah, that sounds like a total Nazi to me! *E-Sarcasm* Anyone who degrades (or attempts poorly) to degrade RP is an absolute waste to society. Nothing that man has spoken in all of his years of active politics has been remotely untrue, unfair, racist, or inherently/morally wrong. NOTHING. When everyone - including the neocons and liberals alike voted to go to war in Iraq (hitlerly voted yes, don’t forget people) …RP was there to say NO. BEING A NON-INTERVENTIONIST and freedom-fighter is what makes RP so damn desirable to so many people. I love and support RP and his cause, and will continue to do so for years to come.

I challenge any of you to a debate over RP’s political issues. Just try to find me one other candidate for presidency right now and claim they are 1/10 as good. I will cut you down where you stand with historical evidence, proven political science, and real world examples.

*yawn*

To anyone out there claiming RP is a racist…

Go stick it. First and foremost, those comments weren’t even racist. Secondly, it’s beyond obvious that RP didn’t write them. Take some time and research it. Do you people even know how political newsletters work?

The Ron Paul Reports are shocking…

i was aware the The Ron Paul Reports had questionable content, but I was shocked when I saw just how ignorant they were. You must take time to read what is said in them.

With the exception of Fred Thompson (occasionally), Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama and Ron Paul (always) few of the candidates seem to take the *US* Constitution seriously anymore. Our economy and our Constitution are both imploding. This should give us pause or should it? Perhaps we should scrap it and start anew? After all, once in office our elected representative must swear to uphold the *US* (not foreign) Constitution for all people. This includes even their most hated adversaries. People at the extremes defend it because according to this document they deserve equal protection under the law just like everyone else. I support Ron Paul. I love people of all races, religions and sexualities. I happen to be straight and black if you must know. The Ron Paul supporters I know love their country passionately. They are not racist, sexist pigs with tin foil hats or 911 truthers. They are hard working, decent wonderful people who volunteer in their community and take the time to educate themselves on the issues. They are a threat to the establishment because they think outside the box. Please consider voting for Ron Paul. Thank you for your time.

On this Ron Paul is a racist comment. I am not sure if anyone here cares what Linder of the NAACP has to say about Ron Paul’s character. Go google NAACP and Ron Paul, and that should put the racism issue to rest. What you can nail Paul on regarding the newsletters is HORRIBLE judgment. You can attack him having poor judgment. But racism is out.

The newsletters in question were published while Paul was back to his medical practice in the private sector and out of politics. The newsletters (from someone) kept coming without his involvement. How many obstetricians need or stay on top of political newsletter? And this was 15 years ago. He accepted moral responsibility for them at the time even though he had nothing to do with their writing, publication or distribution during that time in his life.

The Neocon Republic is yellow dog trash journalism. I’m still not supporting their “preferred” candidate, Rudy Giuliani. Before they told us Ross Perot was Hitler. Noone died from the pie charts. Noone will die from any newsletter’s insensitive comments. Ron Paul took moral responsibility years and years ago now it is BREAKING NEWS. What is he supposed to stab himself in the back, bowing to the PC establishment in the process? I know we are supposed to judge a true patriot’s entire life on this. Another primary is coming up. ATTACK NOW. It is time to attack the only Constitutional Repubican in the race. QUICK. Your boomerang journalism does not change the fact that Dr. Ron Paul saves people from miserable lives by defending the Constitution. He always has. All Presidents are supposed to swear to uphold the Constitution, remember? Memo to the Neocons. Ron Paul is a faithful husband of 50 years. He delivered 4,000 babies, was a Vietnam veteran flight surgeon and has been a tireless civil servant. Still is. The Austin NAACP President believes he is a fair guy when he defends the civil liberties and Constitutional rights of those in his community. Time for the political opportunists to exit the glass house and put the stones down.

I love it:

According to Wirkman Virkkala, formerly the managing editor of the libertarian monthly Liberty, the racist and survivalist elements that appeared in the newsletter were part of a deliberate “paleolibertarian” strategy, “a last gasp effort to try class hatred after the miserable showing of Ron Paul’s 1988 presidential effort.” It is impossible now to prove individual authorship of any particular item in the newsletter, but it is equally impossible to believe that Mr Rockwell did not know of and approve what was going into the newsletter.

This matters because, while Mr Paul may disavow the sentiments that were expressed under his name over the years, he has scarcely disavowed Mr Rockwell, who remains a friend and adviser. Mr Rockwell is one of the congressman’s most vigorous online boosters, accompanied him to an appearance on The Tonight Show, and often publishes Mr Paul’s writings on his Web site. Mr Paul now says the identity of his ghostwriter is of no importance. But if the person responsible for spreading venom under his name for many years remains a close associate, it suggests that Mr Paul is at least prepared to countenance pandering to racists, however respectable his own views. The candidate owes his supporters a far more complete explanation than he has thus far provided.

Yeah, even funnier when the Ronulans actually ADMIT they will be repeating something they know not to be true, all in the name of making the lie a reality.

It’s funny that Paul supporters are supposed to be the conspiracy theorists, but that’s the first line of defense employed when we ask you to use your own reason to determine the validity of the smear.

By: Curt

Curt — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:00:54 +0000

Fabricated! Hmmmm, where did I hear this? Oh yeah:

All we got now is the signatures [that is, the claim that the signatures were "faked"], but the point is to repeat it over and over. we can make that thought reality

As usual, you PaulBots move fast. You get marching orders to deny deny deny and here ya are.

A sad pathetic bunch.

Why don’t you people read some things that Ron Paul actually wrote instead of debating this fabricated garbage. His views are quite contrary to what you people would like to believe as truth.

Two things you didn’t bother to talk about.

1)Kirchick is a Giuliani supporter.

2)Ron Paul would free the most black men since Lincoln.

I’ve detailed and sourced both claims here.

I look forward to your response.
