On December 15th, Jeff Lord predicted that Ron Paul would have to “seriously answer” for his newsletters as he ascended in the polls in Iowa. As Jeff points out these questions were raised in January 2008 in Reason by David Weigel and Julian Sanchez. I would add that their reporting built on the groundwork laid by James Kirchick in The New Republic earlier that month.

Six days later, Paul failed to formulate anything resembling a serious answer in an interview with Gloria Borger of CNN and ran away with his tail between his legs when the questions got too tough. This a tactic Paul simply cannot deploy in the White House.

Now, of course, it may very well be the case that Paul didn’t write the actual content of his newsletters but it’s hard to imagine he was unaware of it especially considering it was being released under his name. And it isn’t like this was a one time incident. The incendiary language kept popping up again and again. Thus a reasonable person could conclude that the views expressed in the Ron Paul Newsletter are the views of Ron Paul.

But let’s say that Ron Paul was, in fact, completely unaware of the content of his newsletters. In that case, it demonstrates a lack of judgment, responsiblity and due diligence on his part. Such shortcomings neither inspire confidence nor are they the makings of an honesty and trustworthy President.

Ron Paul’s SuperPac Chairman Is Listed As Co-Founder Of Hate Group link--> http://ow.ly/88w6v

Jay| 12.23.11 @ 1:15AM

When is the Southern Poverty Law Center going to list the American Spectator as a hate group?

Further, when did American Spectator readers start crediting Southern Poverty Law Center with objectivity and accuracy?

Jack in Wi.| 12.23.11 @ 6:53AM

End the terror. End the hate. Integrate the Israeli state. Equal right for all Muslim, Jew, and Christian. The Holyland belongs to the whole world not just to a few nasty squabling Jewish sects. Mr Goldstein, The New Republic and CNN defend the most racist entity on the face of the earth, where half the population is treated like scum, because they are Muslims or Christians. It is time they answered for shilling for this disgraceful filth of a country.

For this weekend I now declare a Christmas truce, in honor of the Prince of Peace. Merry Christmas to the Christians. Shalom and L' Chaim to the Jews. Salem Alakum and brotherhood to the Muslims.

chuck| 12.23.11 @ 8:54AM

"End the terror. End the hate."

I have to completely agree! If we could only get the Palestinians to stop strapping bombs onto their children with the mission to kill as many Israelis as possible, and to get them to stop firing rockets into Israel aimed at schools and day-care centers, peace negotiations could continue, and the Palestinians could have their own country.

Jews, Arabs, and Christians are live and work side by side in Israel, all are full citizens, with voting rights, and the ability to hold office. Why can't this be the model for the rest of the Middle East? Full rights for everyone, women, Christians, Muslims, and Jews, all across the vast Middle East, from the Mediterranean, to the Persian Gulf.

I say, if you are truly for peace on Earth, let's join together, and stand with Israel, and uphold their model of people of all faiths living together with full rights, and work to spread this across the rest of the Middle East.
Shalom.

Mike| 12.23.11 @ 5:14PM

Lebanon used to be a majority Christian, and it wasn't Jews who changed that. Why do you support the killing of Christians and Jews, but not Muslim.

Ron Paul is running for president of all Americans, not just Muslims. If he wants to be president, he needs to come out and state that Christians and Jews are equal to Muslims. Until he does that with no dodging, he should be ignored.

The evidence is building up that Paul is a rabid anti-Christian.

Anthony M| 12.23.11 @ 6:47PM

Excellent point on Lebanon, but let's not make the tragic mistake of the left and name call candidates out of contention. Does anyone really think that kindly, old Dr. Paul is a racist, anti-semite? Come on, stop the hyperbole. It's true Paul wants to reduce our defense budget and end foreign aid, but let's argue on the issues, not resort to the childish name-calling of the left.

chuck| 12.23.11 @ 9:25PM

I don't know if the kindly doctor is racist, or an anti-Semite, but there is definitely a segment of his vocal supporters who are.
What does it say about Ron Paul that his most ardent supporters here are so vehemently anti-Israel, and some, like Jack, are vicious anti-Semites. Why do they blame Israel for everything evil in the world?

Occam's Tool| 12.25.11 @ 11:18PM

Ron Paul may win Iowa. He will come to the convention expecting a prominent role. One of two things will happen.

1. He and his supporters will be rejected, and they will sit out the election.
2. He will be accepted, his supporters will write a good part of the platfrom and all of the moderates will be scared away.

And Obama will be re-elected, and the Democrats will make gains in the house and Senate.

And America becomes Europe. God help us!

Oldefarte| 12.24.11 @ 3:05PM

Naw, I don't give a Clitcrement if Paul wins in Iowa, and I'll actually gladly vote for him if he receives the REPUBLICAN nomination [as long as he flushes his Clitcrement/Paulista-lemming supporters appropriately down the political toilet subsequently]. Unlike some, I am not so lacking in sufficient brain matter as to not enthusiastically vote for whatever candidate wins the Republican nomination so as to guarantee this country's survival from destruction by means of another four years of the current socialistic group of community organizers who have captured and are controlling the government [from say a asinine/ludicrous third party candidacy which will surely garantee same]!!!!

Jay| 12.23.11 @ 1:11AM

Kirchick favors these endless wars and condones Palestinian Arabs being called "animals." Its very easy to see why non-interventionist Paul evokes such hate from Kirchick.

"...Jamie Kirchick, whose article in the New Republic gave birth to the newsletter 'scandal.' Kirchick is a militant interventionist who today works for the extremist Foundation for the Defense of Democracies...

"Kirchick’s fake outrage at Paul’s alleged 'racism' seems odd for someone who faithfully echoed the same bigoted belligerence that led TNR publisher Peretz to compare Palestinians to animals. We never heard a peep from Jamie about that, but then again Peretz was his meal ticket."

Dr.Ron Paul,
" While President Obama’s demand that Israel
make hard concessions in her border conflicts may very well be in her
long-term interest, only Israel can make that determination on her own,
without pressure from the United States or coercion by the United
Nations.

“Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how
Israel runs her affairs. There can only be peace in the region if those
sides work out their differences among one another. We should respect
Israel’s sovereignty and not try to dictate her policy from Washington.

“As the President prepares to send even more support to Egypt, we should
be reminded that it was our foreign aid that helped Mubarak retain power
to repress his people in the first place. Now we have to deal with the
consequences of those decisions, yet we keep repeating the same mistakes.

“I am not the only one who can see the absurdities of our foreign
policy. We give $3 billion to Israel and $12 billion to her enemies.
Most Americans know that makes no sense.

“We need to come to our senses, trade with our friends in the Middle
East (both Arab and Israeli), clean up our own economic mess so we set a
good example, and allow them to work out their own conflicts.”

David| 12.23.11 @ 1:10PM

Careful Clint, don't confuse the neoconservative attack dogs with facts -- like their progressive counterparts they can't process facts which are thrown into their ad hominem attacks and Alinsky style destruction of their perceived enemies.

Again, similar to their progressive brethren they somehow equate patriotism to agreeing with everything the government does and not with respect for the individual liberty that once made this a great country.

Our "two party" system has devolved into the two wings of the same bird -- Republican right wing, Democrat left wing -- which is trying to become the new national bird -- the vulture.

As long as the leaders have a "(R)" after their name anything the government does is gold and to be backed by all neoconservatives -- if the leaders have a "(D)" after their name the progressives consider that gold and all are expected to support the governing elite's agenda.

mzk1| 12.24.11 @ 12:00PM

OK, facts. Paul said recently he wants the US to be friends with ALL countries. If this were 1940, he would have us cozy up to Nazi Germany nad ignore what was going on in Poland; after all Poland no longer was a country. He would have us shipping arms to he Nazis and Japanese.

And one day, we would be on the receiving end of those arms, but it would be too late by then.

This has nothing to do with the constitution. Bush (I and II) could have got a declaration of war if everyone understood it to be needed. The US can restrict foreign commerce.

Eric| 12.23.11 @ 5:26PM

Paul claims to be a Libertarian, but where is the proof??

The Paul reputation is a sham. Let's see how he's actually VOTED. The fact is Paul votes for pork and nannystate as bad or worse as the rest of them.

And his newsletter proves he's just a socialist in Libertarian clothing.

American business owners who have survived Obama will be thrashed by Paul.

Flaming leftists like Kirchick and the useful idiots in the faux-conservative press. Add in a large dollop of postmodernism and you get the rest of the supposed conservatives you see on this blog (you know who you are Victor, Occam, oldefarte, etc).

David, the GOP and Dems were outed by Buchanan years ago as the wings of the same bird of prey. But the truth was not accepted by the American people then, and they got Clinton for their troubles. It's now too late to pull it out and we are set for some serious problems when the country can't afford to defend itself anymore. They argue about Ron Paul's Foreign Policy, which won't matter since we won't be able to carry out the Neocon policy anymore.

Now, Israel Firster Propaganda Squad Cheerleader ,Tool Job Can Tell Us About His Long Silence About His Fellow Traveler, Israel Firster Ben Ami Kadish.

" Ben-ami Kadish is a former U.S. Army mechanical engineer. He pleaded guilty in December 2008 to being an "unregistered agent for Israel", and admitted to disclosing classified U.S. documents to Israel in the 1980s.His unauthorized disclosure of classified U.S. secrets to Israel was concurrent with the espionage activity of Jonathan Pollard.

In December 2008, Kadish pleaded guilty to acting as an unregistered agent of Israel, admitting he gave classified documents to Israel in the 1980s.Prosecutors asserted that Kadish had furnished classified American secrets to Yosef Yagur, the same Israeli agent who had received secret documents from Jonathan Pollard.

In determining the sentence, Judge William H. Pauley III asserted, "Why it took the government 23 years to charge Mr. Kadish is shrouded in mystery."Pauley stated that prison would "serve no purpose" for a man of Kadish's advanced age and infirmity, opting to levy a $50,000 fine against Kadish. The prosecutor stated that the decision to accept the plea agreement was based on Kadish's cooperation and his willingness to admit wrongdoing. Prior to sentencing, Kadish faced the judge standing with the aid of a cane and stated, "I'm sorry I made a mistake ... It was a misjudgment. I thought I was helping the state of Israel without harming the United States."

Interesting, That American Spectator's Israel Firster Propaganda Squad Cheerleader Captain,Tool Job Is Unaware Of Israel Firster Ben ami Kadish.

" Ben-ami Kadish is a former U.S. Army mechanical engineer. He pleaded guilty in December 2008 to being an "unregistered agent for Israel", and admitted to disclosing classified U.S. documents to Israel in the 1980s.His unauthorized disclosure of classified U.S. secrets to Israel was concurrent with the espionage activity of Jonathan Pollard.

In December 2008, Kadish pleaded guilty to acting as an unregistered agent of Israel, admitting he gave classified documents to Israel in the 1980s.Prosecutors asserted that Kadish had furnished classified American secrets to Yosef Yagur, the same Israeli agent who had received secret documents from Jonathan Pollard.

In determining the sentence, Judge William H. Pauley III asserted, "Why it took the government 23 years to charge Mr. Kadish is shrouded in mystery."Pauley stated that prison would "serve no purpose" for a man of Kadish's advanced age and infirmity, opting to levy a $50,000 fine against Kadish. The prosecutor stated that the decision to accept the plea agreement was based on Kadish's cooperation and his willingness to admit wrongdoing. Prior to sentencing, Kadish faced the judge standing with the aid of a cane and stated, "I'm sorry I made a mistake ... It was a misjudgment. I thought I was helping the state of Israel without harming the United States."

Occam's Tool| 12.25.11 @ 11:30PM

Look, spying on the US earns you a jail sentence, OK? There are lots of US spies that the Israelis send home every year, as well. Spying happens, on friends as well as enemies. Roald Dahl did spying for Britain on America, for example.

I don't follow every spy because I live in the real world. The Islamists want to enslave your daughters, got it? The israelis are infinitely preferable, as their spying is no worse that Britain's is at this time. Now, I have a beautiful daughter, so I want the Musklims to lose. You clowns have no kids because you are mutants, especially Clint. Therefore, you have no interest in future generations. I do.

Aaron stop shilling for the Cultural Marxist PC thought police. You should be ashamed of yourself. The so-called racist quotes were pulled out of context for shock value and when read in context are easily defensible from a conservative standpoint, although the language is perhaps indelicate. In a couple of cases at least the so-called racist quotes happen to be true and well known facts to boot. It's a problem that MLK was called an adulterer? Well he was. It's a problem that it is pointed out that black males are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime? Well they are.

As I said in a couple of other threads, Ron Paul erred initially with the vociferousness of his disavowal. By doing so he gave credence to the claim that the newsletters were in fact racist which they are not, so now he is stuck with that. He should have apologized for the arguably indelicate language but allowed others to defend the content in context.

So Ron Paul might be stuck with his position, but I'm not because I'm not a PC thought slave. I don't see how the "eek the newsletters" crowd can look at themselves in the mirror every morning knowing they are dancing to the Cultural Marxist PC thought enforcers tune and thereby empowering the liberal PC zeitgeist. I wouldn't do that if you paid me a million dollars because I have some self respect.

You won't be getting any apology. You call those discussing the obviously bigoted newsletters Cultural Marxist PC thought police. You refer to Ron Paul as being unhelpful for his Leno performance. I assume you mean unhelpful to his own campaign. To you this is taking a stand. To me it is an ideologue putting his blinders on. Unhelpful? By the way RonL said it right but you tried to turn his words into unhelpful. You have no conservative credentials. You are a radical ideologue. There is nothing conservative about that.

Red, Bradley manning is an alleged traitor. Paul supports those alleged acts that if convicted, would make Bradley a confirmed traitor. Whatdoes that say about Paul?

Far be it for me to help the Paul-bots out to destroy the US by re-elcting Obama, but I have to disagree.

There was good reason for wiretapping King. He has a very close associate who was a Communist, and the FBI was rightly concerned about where this might lead.

Occam's Tool| 12.23.11 @ 1:27PM

Red:

I have a problem with paul calling Bradley Manning a "hero" for his actions. He called Manning (who is facing trial) a "hero" if his alleged actions are proved to be true. Now, Clint has no problem with that, because he is, to be honest, a Paul spittle licker, but you profess to have a brain.

Justification for defending acts of Treason by a serving US enlisted Man?

Red Phillips | 12.23.11 @ 1:52PM

Occam, I discussed Manning in the other thread. Manning is an oath breaker and I do not defend him. I do, however, think exposing government secrets is a good thing in general as long as it is done responsibly. For example didn't we learn from wikileaks that the Sunni Saudi Arabians are also beating the drum for war against the Shiite Iranians. That's go info to know, don't you think?

Warrior | 12.23.11 @ 4:45PM

OT: I agree with Red. Manning broke his oath without a doubt. Let's hold every one of the officials in DC who swore to protect and uphold the Constitution yet break their oath pretty much every day to this same standard. Sandy Berger had classified documents stuffed in his underwear yet he was given a pass. Our elected officials routinely leak classified material to the media and others without even a mention of punishment. Manning deserves punishment for his acts, but then why be quiet about all those others who have done similar if not worse within the beltway? Seems like selective enforcement.

mzk1| 12.24.11 @ 12:09PM

I think Berger should have been severely punished, as should anyone who intentionally leaks classified material (although not general information that may have alssified input).

But Manning was in the Army.

Occam's Tool| 12.25.11 @ 11:34PM

Paul supports those actions. That's a problem. That's a real problem. I supported Berger getting the book thrown at him.

We do not take the Devil for our model. Manning deserves death. Paul is a scumbag.

It did not take Wikileaks to figure out that the Saudis wanted the Iranians taken out. That is something I already knew before Wikileaks because I PAY ATTENTION. (Why were they giving the Israelis fly-over rights?)

When this is over you will no doubt go back to claiming that "they"(mainstream media) are not "you". You won't have to try very hard to convince the hyper nationalists around here. If they can convince themselves that Newt is a conservative they will believe anything.

The country, indeed the world, facing economic Armageddon? No big deal.

Congress does away with due process and declaring America a "battlefield"? Not worth the time of the hard hitting team at the Spectator.

Their vision of America is closer to the French Revolutionaries vision of France or the Trotskyites vision of the USSR. Go learn some basic political philosophy 101.

" Tea partiers in two camps: Sarah Palin vs. Ron Paul

Tea party activists are divided roughly into two camps, according to a POLITICO/TargetPoint poll: one that’s libertarian-minded and largely indifferent to hot-button values issues and another that’s culturally conservative and equally concerned about social and fiscal issues.

The survey, an exit poll conducted by Edison Research at the massive Tax Day protest on the National Mall, found that the attendees were largely hostile to President Barack Obama and the national Democratic Party — three-quarters believe the president “is pursuing a socialist agenda.”

Yet they aren’t enamored of the Republican Party as an alternative. Overall, three out of four tea party attendees said they were “scared about the direction” of the country and “want to send a message to both political parties.”
Palin, who topped the list with 15 percent, speaks for the 43 percent of those polled expressing the distinctly conservative view that government does too much, while also saying that it needs to promote traditional values.

Paul’s thinking is reflected by an almost identical 42 percent who said government does too much but should not try to promote any particular set of values — the hallmarks of libertarians. He came in second to Palin with 12 percent.

When asked to choose from a list of candidates for president in 2012, Palin and Paul also finished one-two — with Palin at 15 percent and Paul at 14 percent. "

Therefore, in defense of my country, the gloves come off concerning Paul. I will not lie about him, but whatever damning information there is out there will be made public. If Paul gets the nomination, which isn't really possible, Obama will get reelected.

Besides, it's fun to piss off the Paulestinians!

The difference between you chickenhawks and us is is that (1) we recognize that invading foreign nations doesn't help fight terrorism, in fact it often does the opposite; (2) recognize the danger posed by an the federal government using war as a pretext for usurping the our traditional liberties; (3) care about the safety of American soldiers; and (4) have some actual knowledge about history and current events.

I want you to know that I never wrote those newsletters and never read them. I disavow them as I disavow the antisemitic Jack and Clint and frankly most of my kooky followers. When I talked about the newsletters as educational tools (for bigots) that was not me but serial hypocrite Newt Gingrich dressed in a Ron Paul suit. Please watch my positive commercials where my adoring masses scream for more and shout our Dear Leader. This is what America is about. I will tear down those fences that have been built along the border to keep Americans from escaping into Mexico. I promise to describe all acts of aggression against our country as deserved blow-back for past acts of interference. By my calculation Iran is due three military strikes on our homeland for 1953 alone if they don't accept my personal reset button. We will immediately go back to burning wood for heat since Al Qaeda is upset by our purchasing of oil from the criminal regimes that sell oil. We will have a foreign policy that is based on not upsetting China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Al Qaeda, North Korea and Mexico. I promise that I will continue to have my followers tell outrageous lies about minorities since they don't vote the right way. And I will definitely put a stop to black women intentionally injecting the AIDs virus into our white woman. On the recommendation of some of my advisers, we will return the south to a cotton based agrarian paradise before 1860. We will have show trials for Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison for not properly understanding what the Founding Fathers original intent. I will form a Ministry of Truth so that my followers can be kept up to date about the latest conspiracies. When I am tired of ruling my son Rand Paul Un will take over. Get ready for a rocky ride as we tear everything down and start again. I have been advised to call this our Great Leap Forward. Some eggs must be broken to make our big delicious omelet. And I promise that First Lady Bruno will not lecture school children what to eat but will give lectures in Austrian economics at all local motels.

Aaron, I watched that video, but I didn't see Ron Paul "run away" as you assert. I did see him answering the allegations several times before he gave up on repeating himself. Moreover, these allegations are clear smear, at least to those who investigate them for themselves. But I agree with you that he should do better at answering the questions directly, as he surely can -- see http://regulatetheregulators.b.....s-faq.html

And this also??????: "....Paul's presidential campaign is thoroughly intertwined with the nonprofits. The Campaign for Liberty calls itself a lobbying group for "individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets and a noninterventionist foreign policy" — a tidy summation of Paul's campaign platform. Young Americans for Liberty's support of Paul is even more explicit, calling itself the continuation of the Students for Ron Paul wing of his 2008 campaign, coordinating his visits to campuses and publishing a magazine in which he laid out his "agenda for a freedom president."
Between the 2008 and 2012 campaigns, both nonprofits were stocked with Paul aides and relatives. Ivers served as Paul's Iowa campaign chairman in 2008 and holds the same position again this year. The Campaign for Liberty's president, John Tate, was paid a total of $338,000 by the group in 2009 and 2010. He is now Paul's national campaign manager. The nonprofit's senior vice president was Jesse Benton, who is now Paul's campaign chairman; its vice president was Debbie Hopper, who is now Paul's assistant campaign manager.
Lori Pyeatt, Paul's daughter, served until recently as the Campaign for Liberty's part-time secretary and treasurer, earning $34,000 for her work last year. Her daughter is married to Benton. Paul's son Ronnie is the group's unpaid chairman.
In all, nine out of the 16 staff members at the Campaign for Liberty are on leaves of absence from the group to work for Paul's campaign. The nonprofit's executive director, Matthew Hawes, said the group is still able to function and is an active advocate on state and federal issues unrelated to Paul's presidential campaign.
Paul campaign spokesman Gary Howard — who for 18 months served as the Campaign for Liberty's spokesman — said Paul resigned as Campaign for Liberty's honorary chairman when he joined the presidential race and believes the nonprofits complied with Internal Revenue Service rules. Still, like Ivers, he acknowledged the nonprofits have indirectly aided the campaign by training activists and raising his issues......" [from Newsmax]

Texas Rep. Ron Paul is now atop the field in Iowa of Republicans looking to unseat President Obama next year.

Paul has the support of 27.5 percent of likely voters for the Jan. 3 caucuses, which kick of the 2012 race for the Republican nomination for president in less than two weeks, according to a poll conducted by Iowa State University/Gazette/KCRG.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich finished a close second, with 25.3 percent, followed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who took 17.5 percent."

9thID| 12.23.11 @ 10:06AM

The C-SPAN video out now showing Paul in '95 touting his newsletters is quite damning. It is then compounded by the Dallas interview in '96 with him defending them, but not denying he wrote them. "Context" was the only problem! It was only in 2001, when the newsletters resurfaced, that Paul went on the record as saying he didn't write them. Any rational person would now have to come to the conclusion that Ron Paul is a serial racist and prevaricator. No wonder Ron Paul is such a magnet for neo-Nazi and neo-Confederate types...

Sean| 12.23.11 @ 10:24AM

9thID is really Al Sharpton. Well maybe he is Jesse Jackson.

Red Phillips | 12.23.11 @ 11:25AM

Read my comment at 2:48 PC shill boy. Paul created part of this problem for himself by simply fleeing from the newsletters. He was right in '95 and '96 to say that the were being quoted out of context which they are. "Any rational person would now have to come to the conclusion" that 9thID is a shill for the Cultural Marxist PC thought police who has no self respect.

Le Cracquere| 12.23.11 @ 10:51AM

In a way, Goldstein's wrong here--I'm not so sure Paul DOES have to answer anything. Most voters are now suspicious enough any further response wouldn't help much, and Paul's fans would mostly be fine with it if he HAD written the articles.

But let's assume that Paul didn't write any of the noxious stuff, and he didn't know about it at the time. Forgive me for repeating myself, but the trenchant question then is: what kind of candidate, and what kind of man, attracts people like the ACTUAL author around him like flies? What kind of man is willing to make common cause with people like the author, people like his vociferous on-line fans, and ride them to political office? Certainly not a responsible man, not a trustworthy man, and not a good one, whatever the probity of his private life.

Ed| 12.23.11 @ 11:21AM

His newsletters also tout David Duke as an up and comer. Great stuff, Ron Paul.

Red Phillips | 12.23.11 @ 11:31AM

No they don't PC shill boy. They say that Duke's success was related to his willingness to address the issues of affirmative action, reverse discrimination, etc. So do you support affirmative action? Stop shilling for the PC thought cops.

http://takimag.com/article/why.....z1hNuZMArm

Le Cracquere| 12.23.11 @ 8:05PM

If the passages are that sensible and innocuous, I'm frankly surprised that Paul won't simply say as much. I'm also mystified by the daylight that Paul supporters are trying to put between their man & the newsletters--why bother trying to deny he authored something that, allegedly, casts no negative light upon the author?

Red Phillips | 12.24.11 @ 12:22AM

We agree on something then Le C. The hysteria about the newsletters indicates the power of the charge of "racism" and by both adamentantly denying it and recklessly making the charge, both sides are empowering the liberal PC zeitgeist. This is what pisses me off and why I refuse to participate in either aspect. Paul should have apologized for the arguably indelicate language, but defended the content as he did in '95 and '96. And the anti-Paul hysterics should find something else to attack and quit doing the SPLC's dirty work for them.

Le Cracquere| 12.24.11 @ 8:42AM

I have zero regard for the SPLC, an utterly discredited pack of hysterics and knaves. But I'll refer you to an antique proverb regarding blind squirrels and acorns.

Oldefarte| 12.24.11 @ 3:47PM

From non-partisaned Wikipedia the following:
"....In 1996 the media inquired into these passages, having been brought to light by Paul's congressional opponent Charles "Lefty" Morris; Paul's congressional campaign countered the statements were taken out of context, and Paul responded by adding "If someone challenges your character and takes the interpretation of the NAACP as proof of a man's character, what kind of a world do you live in?" .....The newsletters, attributed to Paul, made statements such as "opinion polls consistently show only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions," "if you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be", and referring to Martin Luther King as a "pro-communist philanderer" and to Martin Luther King Day as "hate Whitey day.".....An issue from 1992 refers to carjacking as the "hip-hop thing to do among the urban youth who play unsuspecting whites like pianos.".....In an article title "The Pink House" the newsletter wrote that " "Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities."....
....In 2001 Paul gave his own account of the newsletters, stating the documents were authored by ghostwriters, and that while he did not author the challenged passages, he bore "some moral responsibility" for their publication..... Paul's 2008 presidential campaign repeated these assertions when the challenged passages resurfaced again in Kirchick's January 2008 article......Paul "never uttered such words and denounced such small-minded thoughts," saying Martin Luther King, Jr., and Rosa Parks were personal heroes because they stood for individual rights, and that he had spoken highly about Parks in a 1999 floor speech in the House of Representatives......Paul took the position that the Kirchick story was a "rehash" of a political attack received during his 1996 campaign....." which adequately explains to me his non-authoring of same but also his repsonsibility for same!!!!!!!!!

Anthony M| 12.23.11 @ 8:00PM

But who actually cares about the comments in the newsletters? Paul's not running for the democrat nomination. I don't think Republican primary voters are going to turn on Paul because of this issue. The main issues for those Republicans who don't like Paul are national defense and foriegn aid. How about we have an intelligent discussion about the issues and not play Trotskyite games?

Made N America | 12.23.11 @ 12:01PM

Ron Paul's beliefs on not being involved in the affairs of the world are echos of George Washington's Farewell Speech, which you may find in the Documents page at: http://www.madeinamericasc.com/apps/documents/ - We American's should not be the Police of the world forcing our opinions on the world, we need to focus on our own behavior and conditions!

Hal| 12.23.11 @ 5:33PM

Except that Paul is only against war with Muslim countries. Gee, why do you think that is? Because his religious beliefs tell him it's wrong to kill Muslims, but okay to kill Christians? Paul has a developing track record of being anti-Christian.

Ivan| 12.23.11 @ 12:20PM

The hypocrisy of the neocons is breathtaking. The leading propagandists against Ron Paul's "racism" are the same people who revere and take as a model of intellectual integrity Bill Buckley, a rabid racist and white supremacist.
Buckley:

"In the Deep South the Negroes are retarded. Any effort to ignore the fact is sentimentalism or demagoguery. In the Deep South the essential relationship is organic, and the attempt to hand over to the Negro the raw political power with which to alter it is hardly a solution."

"The central question that emerges is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer is Yes–the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race"

You're all full of shit!

Paul is the one candidate who makes an ounce of sense: Legalize drugs because the drug war kills more people than all the drugs, who else has the guts to say that?

End the wars: They're too expensive and pointless, and also by our own laws they are often illegal and we are suffering dire consequences for our actions. We are losing our God-given and Constitutional rights to privacy, free speech, assembly, OWN GUNS, you name it. All for these wars!

I apologize for straying back on topic, but much as I am sick and tired of watching conservatives eat each other for lunch, I also must say I have no interest in yet another politician who plays the game of "plausible deniability." If Paul did not know about the articles he should denounce them in no uncertain terms and apologize for his lack of oversight. If he did know about the articles then he has to apologize for them and explain how and why his attitudes have changed. Otherwise, he has no business in public office.
