James B. Powell is the mystery writer of the "racist" statements found in a few of Ron Paul's newsletters & was discovered by reporter Ben Swann for Cincinnati Fox News Channel 19.
If I got the presidency i'd ship the lot of them off to the Middle East where they can use their pathetic, puppet faces to literally lick the streets clean.
America must learn to not give these opinionless parasites the time of day. They are so obviously and stunningly full to the brim with shit.
-The MSM either censor Ron Paul or portray him in an unflattering light.
-Voters are more attuned to MSM/TV than the internet.
If you support RP on the Internet, show your support outside the internet too,as thats where voters are taking "advice" from.
For starters,put up a RP bumper sticker on your car.A whole lot of cars with RP bumper stickers will surely make more voters wonder if they are missing out on some thing.
Great idea, load that debt onto the taxpayers, with incentives for the colleges to pump out degrees faster (does this mean better education?!) so the number of unemployed Americans holding degrees can exceed it's already all time high!
Tell obombya that mcdonald workers dont need college debt as Chinese co. are rebuilding our transportation system. Promissed job, highest umemployement since Carter. Bring troops home we're in 6 wars now and pushing to start WW3. Balance the budget? Third debt ceiling hike spending 300 billion a week bailing out the bankers who stole all OUR money. And Romney is his cousin, stop the elite highjacking of America RON PAUL 2012
P.2 It's not surprising that after throwing concrete evidence at you, your only argument is to plug your ears and continue to repeat statements that have been debunked time and again. I ignored your lack of understanding as to basic strategies for diverting conversation away from the topic (Red herrings, strawmen), but I can't continue to speak with your after you've plainly revealed your cultist mentality.
They are definitely beating a dead horse with this issue. Whats even more surprising is how the media isn't attacking Santorum for his bigoted statements on Muslims and homosexuals, but no lets just ignore that and attack Ron Paul for these newsletters he didn't write!
It is merely a diversion. Whether Obamanation likes white people or not I care less. I do care about MY constitution, Taxes, the Patriot act & Defense authorization act& assasinating american citizens without a trial. The oath of office says it all:To Uphold And Defend the Constitution-"NOT" TO MAKE COLLEGE AFFORDABLE, "NOT"TO WIN THE WAR ON TERRORISM, "PRIORITY ONE-TO MAKE SURE THE CONSTITUTION REMAINS INTACT & NOT VIOLATE THIS SACRET DOCUMENT which Obamanation has lied and failed at. MISERABLY
But for those that that have listened to Ron Paul on TV, in debates, in interviews and read his books over the years know that the language used in those racist newsletters is unlike anything Ron Paul has ever said.
So it is clear that he didn’t wrote them.
What you have as proof is testimonies with no credibility and Speculations to make your judgments, which means that you have nothing.
4) Paul defended those newsletter because he knew about them.
Some idiots that haven’t saw several interviews, speechs, books, etc. of RP, they don’t know language used by RP, and will make immediately and make the “Assumption” that Paul defended those newsletter because he wrote them.
“Assumption and Speculation are not evidence or facts”
The possible reasons of why RP defended the newsletters are:
1) Paul didn’t wrote and didn’t knew about those newsletters but defended them because he made the “Assumption” that they were taked out of context (or something like that).
2) Paul didn’t wrote and didn’t knew about those newsletters but defended them because the people in the campaing told him to do it.
3) Paul defended those newsletter because he wrote them.
(there is no way that he could be in that office “every day”). That means that their testimonies have “no credibility”.
In that time (1996) RP didn't explicitly denied that he “wrote” the newsletters, but neither he admitted explicitly having written those newsletters, he only defended them. Defend and admit are NOT the same thing (check a diccionary). Defending doesn’t necessarily mean that he wrote them (Cont)
Said [He said the office wasn't in the town he lives in, not that he wasn't there; don't make things up.]
In the washington post show that their “sources” said that RP was monitoring its operations, signing off on articles.. “every day”, that's a LIE, because the office wasn't in the same town where RP lived, plus RP was doing medical service and sometimes traveling and doing speeches (cont)
LOL at the ending.. why uploading cnn's news need donations? anyway, i dont care whether ron's health is good or bad.. as long as he still breathes, im sure he will give his best to benefit the public..
People that have listened to Ron Paul on TV, in debates, in interviews and read his books over the years know that the language used in those racist newsletters is unlike anything Ron Paul has ever said.
If RP said stuff like that in a newsletter, why wouldn't he say it out loud in person?
FACT: Ron Paul helped a black and white couple who needed help delivering their baby. Ron Paul delivered the baby and paid for the bills. Yup must be a racist alright.
It is funny to see people that are more concerned with 20-year-old-irrelevant-newsletter-racist-crap that Dr Ron Paul didn’t wrote than actual policy and the corruption in Washington
So while the Feds ready their next attempt to clamp down on the internet, bail out the next Wall Street scumbag with taxpayer dollars, and squander more resources on the next war of aggression (against the will of the People)... YOU can pat yourself on the back for helping Obama get it done!!
We the people no longer accept this 2-party circus act. George Washington was an independent president and he even warned of "entangling alliances". Up vote this if you will not let the media control you with Nazi-style propaganda, thumbs up if you will be writing Ron Paul's name in on the 2012 Presidential Election Ballot.
Dr Ron Paul racist newsletters, the 1996 Dallas Morning News article (among other things) is explained in this faq:
scribd.com/doc/76280303/PaulNewslettersFaq-Tunk
And the Autor of the racist newsletters has been discovered for once and for all by a REAL researcher called Ben Swann in his TV program "REALITY CHECK".
Vote Ron Paul he will bring the troops home and give us are freedoms back.. the news is afraid of Rons freedom policys and they dont want YOU to be free like are founding fathers did.. Youtube Ron Paul his debates and videos are mind blowing..trust me you will understand him and learn something everytime you listen to Dr. Paul..Rommney agrees with whoever hes talking to. Gingrich cant even keep a relationship with his wife let alone the U.S.A. Vote Ron Paul and not the 2 corrupt individuals
I like how its okay that newt and romney can change there minds about topics state to state or 4 years and now and the dumb media doesn't say anything about that? But there bring up stuff from 20 some years ago with Ron? what corncobs! I guess that's the only bad they can come up with lol. sad
I love this man with all my heart and soul he is a real blessing to all of us 2012 Ron Paul you got my vote. PPL this world needs to change and it all starts with us and only us Peace and Love to ALL!!!
Go read about the life of Ron Paul on wikipedia, it is obvious that he is the most experienced BY FAR and has worked incredibly hard to get where he is today, he started as a kid on a dairy farm, and now he stands before us, infront of Mitt Romney and Obama, challenging them on the ignorant ideas they hold so dear, and hes winning.
He was also a milk-man before he studied medicine, and then an air force flight-surgeon during the war, and now promises to end the federal reserve and cut a trillion from the budget. In contrast, the others are ass-wiped pansies who support the status-quo while ironically paying lip-service to "change," as the country is swamped to its gunnels in debt.
All anyone should be asking is, WHERE DO I PULL THE FUCKING LEVER!!!
It's like on the Titanic saying "the lifeboat might sink!"
DEMOCRATS AND UNREGISTERED VOTERS. You need to register/re-register to the republican party in order to VOTE FOR RON PAUL if you live in a closed-primary state. For example, I live in PA and therefore had to register republican to be able to VOTE FOR RON PAUL (first time registering; I'm only 19). Don't wait 'til it's too late! There are early deadlines for registering. Ron Paul 2012!!! Thumbs up so people can see!!!
Ha ha... yeah, Jack Welch... another major profiteer of the War Machine/Military Industrial Complex. If Ron Paul wins, Jack Welch can't profit from innocent American's deaths.... awwhhh... P.S. I paid more taxes than G.E. did last year. What's wrong with this picture???
lmao still? holy shit? 20 years and your still asking this? Does anyone actually believe that the presidential candidate would proof read "everything"? No one could be so dumb as to believe that.
Ron Paul 2012. Popular media will keep lying like it always does..
It's ironic, all the other politcians in Washington don't even read the fucking BILLS before passing them, and these assholes are carping about a fucking NEWSLETTER!
How come no one ever mentions the 144 news letters (that's 12 years) before Lew Rockwell took over as editor and chief. Because there was no mention of anything racists or bigoted in them when Dr. Paul was the editor and chief. Humm kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it.
@tr2899 OWS protestors dont have a common vision. I'm sure you have heard this one by now. Many of the people taking to the streets DO support Ron Paul. Of course, many don't because they seem to blindly blame capitalism for the problem, as opposed to the organized group which controls the media, banks, money & a good portion of congress. Many OWS protestors that oppose Ron Paul support socialism (have government fix the problem)...well we know how that went in Russia post-WWI
this perfectly explains why Ron Paul is losing... THE MEDIA WHETHER IT IS FAUX NEWS OR CNN THEY ALWAYS ATTACK HIM ABOUT STUPID SHIT THAT ISN'T TRUE!!!
@tr2899 OWS is an uprising just like in Egypt. Don't support mainstream media propaganda by naming an uprising a cute name like OWS which they then use to confuse the rest of society.
Many of the people taking part in the US uprising in the streets support Ron Paul. That is because when you gain a true understanding of the problem, you find out the problem is the Federal Reserve which gives private banking interests that funded world wars the ability to create money. That is the problem.
"Due to the fact you want GOLD to be the driving factor, Dr. Ron Paul... I am changing my views of you and I now abandon support of your ideas. It is still wrong to have gold as money. This shows me exactly your weakness. You are trying to kill a dream beast sir. In actuality you do not understand. Your direction to make a gold coin as cash is actually extremely dangerous, You place a resource as cash and inflation will then completely transform into imperialism, only leaving destruction."
@tr2899 yup typo. I meant "now" controlled by olligarchs. True the rich oil industry and bankers have had the US by the balls for 100 years, but the power they hold in the whole US government has never been stronger.
Yes, please stand together and fight this properly. This is the idea behind Ron Paul. His followers are opposing what is happening, and are calling for a revolution. It does not matter if he wins or not, his followers will continue pushing for a revolution!
nobody made such a big deal when it was found that one of Obama's best friends and church pastor at his home church was a racist...strong double standard here for the media.
If only the congressmen who signed the PATRIOT act without reading it got taken to task half as much as Paul's getting for those 90's newsletters, the media might actually accomplish something.
"Ron Paul is a funny man" said by John King "a stupid man" in a condescending manner. Juxtaposing Obama and Ron Paul talking, makes it stark clear that the former is just smooth talking something he doesn't understand and the latter is the real McCoy.
@tr2899 I disagree. Words are like weapons, they must be carefully handled.
An oligarchy is simply a government of a few, as in a few wise men. This form is what Plato preferred, since the wise are those who love knowledge more than money, and thus better suited to govern.
Our government is similar in that it's ruled by a few, a few wealthy elite but who are, for the most part, ignorant schmucks who love money more than knowledge. Don't be fooled - they share big egos but not big IQs.
@tr2899 Over 17 trillion in debt, greatest disparity between rich and poor (this is how a feudalist state starts), warmongering around the world, killing millions of citizens abroad, others HATE americans while they are developing better bombs and planes (China & Russia), the country is no controlled by oliigarchs who do price fixing, central bank making their buddies rich, record inflation f*king the middle class, and now the US is beginning WW3 in Iran!
Oh for God's sake here we go again. Look at the dates we didn't even have internet back then and he was practicing medicine and traveling to speaking engagements just when the hell do you think he was proof reading and approving stupid newsletters?
@PigCapitalist If we can have speech maker who cannot spaekk without a teleprompter...sure we can have a consistent, honest and a liberty-lover with bad secretarial skills as a president!
@PigCapitalist Newsletters don't hold the importance of the U.S. Presidency. I once unknowingly wore a pair of sunglasses on the top of my head while wearing another over my eyes and yet, managed to successfully raise two kids into adulthood. One is of the utmost importance, the other isn't. It's matter of priority. He did say he has a moral responsibility for the newsletters since they bear his name. It's over. Let it go.
"Newsletters don't hold the importance of the U.S. Presidency..."
They do when they show the writer is a racist.
"He did say he has a moral responsibility for the newsletters since they bear his name".
That's the thing. It's not just that they bear his name, it's that he admitted to writing them back in 1996 when being interviewed by the Dallas Morning News.
@PigCapitalist He did write them prior to 1996. The "racist" letters were written in the 2002-2004 time frame. AFTER the letters he admitted to writing. Duh. Chronology is not thy forte', eh?
The comments about, "95% of black men in Washington D.C. being 'semi-criminal' or 'entirely' criminal", black 13 year olds being tried as adults and about, "5% of blacks having sensible opinions" are a few of the racist claims that were written in 1992.
I hope you have health-care, because that operation to remove your foot from your mouth is gonna be costly; especially is Paul is president.
Wow, so it's ok that they pass Obamacare without reading it, but you're shitting kittens and cows over Ron Paul not reading 3 lines from a fucking newsletter 20 years ago,,,,
@PigCapitalist keeps beating that dead horse: You know very well that Dr. Paul was citing a report from a gov agency when making those remarks. Those are not racist remarks at all.
When Dr. Paul becomes President, the cost of medical care will go down. Once Medicare and other gov sponsored entities are shut down, the average American will finally be able to afford their own health care.
@PigCapitalist They don't ever. Never ever. And that isn't the issue anyway because he didn't know they'd been altered in such a way. THAT is the point.
Did you watch the video? First, his former secretary came out and said he would proof read every newsletter. Second, as seen in the video, Ed Crane from the Cato institute said Paul acknowledged the nature of the statements in the newsletter and finally Ron Paul himself admitted to writing the articles in 1996 when being interviewed by the Dallas Morning News. That's 3 people contradicting Ron Paul, one of them being Ron Paul himself.
What's going to be your excuse now? Reason is a Libertarian site, they have no incentive to attack Paul who's also a Libertarian; and the Dallas Morning News article stands by itself.
The most recent article they've published regarding the newsletters - which include links to 2008 articles addressing the authoring of the racist articles - claims ghost-writers existed.
You should read the article you provided. At no point did it address his interview with the Dallas Morning News. In fact, the article claims at one point that another article of theirs documents, "...Paul's changing accounts of the newsletters' authorship and the congressman's knowledge of their contents". My claim isn't that he didn't have ghostwriters, but that at the very least(!) he authored some of the racist content himself (as he admitted in 1996).
@PigCapitalist ".. a source close to the Paul's campaign told reason that Rockwell authored much of .. the [reports]. "If Rockwell had any honor he'd come out and I say, ‘I wrote this stuff,'" said the source .. Paul remains friendly with Rockwell and is reluctant to assign responsibility.."
Your entire argument is dependant on a single interview that Paul had distanced himself from in 2001, stating that he had taken responsibility for - but had never written - the letters.
"Your entire argument is dependant on a single interview..."[sic]
You say this as if it's a problem. The interview happened. Paul admitted to writing the articles. Even if it happened only once, even if he didn't admit it after that it happened and you're avoiding the fact that it did.
I know it must hurt you to admit that your glorious candidate once admitted to writing at least one racist column, but that's reality.
@PigCapitalist He didn't admit to writing the racist articles, he admitted to writing the newsletters. The part that he wrote was not racist, and you know this from the replies that you have been getting over the last few days.
@PigCapitalist Even you have admitted that the "racist" parts were written well after 1996, when Dr. Paul no longer was a contributor. Keep beating that dead horse.
@PigCapitalist Reason may be a Libertarian minded outlet, but the articles that Bash Dr. Paul for the newsletters, were written by "contributing editors".
@PigCapitalist Unfortunately, you are taking the word of the Dallas Morning News over the word of Dr. Paul. The article written by DMN says that Dr. Paul said one thing, but Dr. Paul said that he did not.
Dr. Paul's newletters had dozens of ghost writers. Use your head, he couldn't have written all of it.
You can't find proof that Dr. Paul actually wrote this stuff, or find any videos (there are MILLIONS of them on youtube) showing Dr. Paul making a statement that is anywhere near racist.
"Unfortunately, you are taking the word of the Dallas Morning News over the word of Dr. Paul...You can't find proof Dr. Paul making a statement that is anywhere near racist...."
I am, but not unjustifiably. If my argument that Paul is a racist were based on that one interview I'd be in trouble. The only argument based solely on that interview is that he said he wrote them. This argument is in turn supported by other reports, such as the one seen here, ...
... that detail how people working with Paul saw him proofreading his newsletter and how individuals outside his "camp", such as the man from the Cato institute, confirmed the fact that Paul knew about the content. Alongside this stands the reports made by Libertarian sites like "Reason", which have documented Paul's flip-flopping excuse through the years.
... As you can see, the argument that he wrote the column is indeed based on one interview; however the argument that he is a racist is much stronger than you give it credit and is in fact supported by various media outlets and accounts of people who have worked with Paul.
@PigCapitalist Calling him a racist is a joke. What do you call Newt then? The idea of calling Ron a racist has gotten outta hand, look you even bulletted your comments. Black people dont think hes a racist. Btw he did not write those articles. SO your saying a publisher of an economic news letter got off on allowing others to write racist comments?.... Plus the Libertarian is the antiracist, so what are you talking about and why are you wasting Americas Time?
If you want to address any of my claims directly, I'd be happy to reply.
As it stands I am in the middle of several "conversations" with other Paulites and I'm unwilling spend more time (than I'm already spending) addressing the floodgates of inanity that will inevitably follow should I reply to any of your statements.
Don't waste your talking with the ignorant. We both know Ron Paul is the truth and will deliver us from tyranny into the embracing arms of Liberdy and Freedum. RON PAUL 2012-2016-2020!!!!!
@PigCapitalist If you read further into people "seeing" Dr. Paul proof reading, he already responded to that. He said flat out that they were wrong. He was not even in the area at that time that they said they saw him doing the proof reading.
I read the Reason Magazine articles about Dr. Paul. None of them showed any flip flopping. Dr. Paul has denied from the beginning, and has never changed his mind, or said differently.
You can't believe major media outlets when it comes to Dr. Paul.
"He was not even in the area at that time that they said they saw him doing the proof reading."
He said the office wasn't in the town he lives in, not that he wasn't there; don't make things up.
"I read the Reason Magazine articles..."
No, yo didn't . If you had you would have seen that Paul, "defended the statements that appeared under his name, claiming that they expressed his "philosophical differences" with Democrats..." during his 1996 congressional...
@PigCapitalist Yes I did. You need to go back and read the reports. Your quotation is not a direct quote, it is a quote from the editors. If you want to quote Dr. Paul's actual words, that would be great.
You have yet to use Dr. Paul's actual words. I tried to be clear in my first response, but you must have glossed over it. The info is from the editors, not Dr. Paul. Dr. Paul denied all of these accusations from day one. There are dozens of videos to prove this.
@PigCapitalist Once again, let me try to make it clear for you. Dr. Paul knows about the newsletters, he admits to writing the economic ideas for them. BUT, he did not know about the racial stuff that was written by ghost writers, because he did not proof read the entire piece of work.
...race against Morris which is a clear flip-flop from his recent claim that "He wasn't aware of their existence" or that he "didn't read them".
"Don't forget, the same media outlets...said Iraq had weapons.."
Reason didn't. Dallas Morning News didn't and neither did his former secretary nor Ed Crane from the Cato institute. These are the sources I'm using, stop releasing red herrings and focus on my statements.
@PigCapitalist Unfortunately, your claim of Dr. Paul flip flopping is taking the editors word against Dr. Paul, again. Dr. Paul did not say these things, they are indirect quotes from the editors. If you want to use Dr. Paul's actual quotes, that would be great.
@PigCapitalist Do a quick google search on the newsletters, and you will find literally a few hundred thousand pages. Don't try to tell me that they all didn't claim WMDs.
I did not claim in my post, as you can re-read it here, that any specific media outlet wrote about WMDs. Stop trying to claim a red herring, when there is none.
@PigCapitalist Yep, I read that one. It's a good one. Unfortunately, you believe that if there are quotations ("") around a statement, that it is a direct quote from Dr. Paul. This is the whole point that you don't seem to understand. It is actually very easy to comprehend.
No, you didn't. If you have you would have seen that where it says "At the time Paul defended" the word "defended" is highlighted which takes you to another article where Paul is quoted directly after being asked about the racist newsletters in '96 where he says, "It's typical political demagoguery" and again in '96 he's quoted saying his written commentary on blacks came in the, "current events and statistical reports of the time." ...
@PigCapitalist The highlighted word "defended" takes you to another Reason Magazine Article, where Dr. Paul is quoted as saying "The quotations in The New Republic article are not mine and do not represent what I believe or have ever believed. I have never uttered such words and denounce such small-minded thoughts."
It's in the first part of the linked article. Feel free to peruse it for a while.
@PigCapitalist "It's typical political demagoguery" is Dr. Paul talking about the news outlets taking his statements out of context. Dr. Paul was not stating as fact that "95 percent of the black men in Washington, D.C., are "semi-criminal or entirely criminal", he was poking at the political statistics at the time that were published by various gov agencies at the time. He's explained this in more than a few videos.
...Further down you can see that the quotes I provided come, again, directly from Paul. These two quotes, from two different newspapers show that (a) he wrote those racist columns, as he refers and defends the articles on blacks directly and also (b) that he flip-flopped his position on the content of the racist of the newsletters as he obviously does know who wrote them (himself).
@PigCapitalist Dr. Paul wrote the economic portions of the newsletters. He didn't write the parts that you keep pointing to. How many large newsletters are written in full by the person at the top of the page? Pretty much none of them.
Does Nick Gillespie write all of the articles in Reason Magazine? No, he does not. He didn't write the article that you and other uninformed people keep pointing too. It was written by a "contributing editor" and an "associate editor" for Reason.
"I did not claim in my post, as you can re-read it here, that any specific media outlet wrote about WMDs. Stop trying to claim a red herring, when there is none."
You didn't claim any specific media outlet, but you did say "mainstream media", which is implies that I was using the "mainstream media" as a source, when in reality I am not. and that is indeed a red herring (and a strawman).
@PigCapitalist There was no implication, it was stated as fact. Do a google search, and you will find hundreds, if not thousands of articles on this.
I didn't guess as to which articles you were citing, as you put them in your replies, and I already read them, more than once.
"The flip flopping that you refer to has absolutely no merit, unless you can quote Dr. Paul directly."
I have been quoting Paul directly and I've provided the sources. What's happening here is that you either don't read the sources, or don't read them well enough/in their entirety and then claim I am not quoting him directly. You're being disingenuous.
@PigCapitalist Actually, they can't be used as direct quotations because you are getting your info from 2nd and 3rd party sources. If you want to quote somone, then you must quote the original piece. Please provide links to the actual sources. You can use MLA format if you want, or no format at all, it's up to you.
I'm being realistic. You are the one who is misleasing, as you have used sources that quote other sources, that don't even quote the original source. Try again.
"The quotes in the Reason article, are quotes from the Newsletter"
The one's I provided in my previous post(s) are not. As I explained in P.1-4 of these recent posts, and as it is clear in the article, they come from interviews in whic Paul defends the newsletters. This shows again that you're being disingenuous when claiming you've read the articles, when in reality you haven't done that.
@PigCapitalist The quotes where Dr. Paul said he did not write "those" parts of the newsletters are correct. The parts of the newsletters that are quoted as being written by Dr. Paul are not correct.
It doesn't matter how you use the quotes, because Dr. Paul has not changed his statements at all.
'The quotes where Dr. Paul said he did not write "those" parts of the newsletters are correct. The parts of the newsletters that are quoted as being written by Dr. Paul are not correct."
I think this comment pretty much sums up our interaction. When you decide what is true or false based on what Paul (now days) says is true or false you've revealed yourself as a cult member.
@PigCapitalist The quotes in the Reason article, are quotes from the Newsletter. They are NOT quotes from what Dr. Paul wrote. How do we know this?? Because Dr. Paul only wrote economic pieces, and he has stated this many times.
The flip flopping that you refer to has absolutely no merit, unless you can quote Dr. Paul directly.
If Dr. Paul was a typical politician that lied in every other video on youtube, like most of them do, then I would agree with you, but he does not.
@PigCapitalist Major Media Outlets have lied about Dr. Paul since the beginning.
I still ask that you show even one single time that Dr. Paul has flip flopped (not heresay, actual proof) on any issue, even the newsletters.
Don't forget, the same media outlets that claim Dr. Paul wrote the bad parts of the newsletters are the same ones that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and we absolutely had to goto war over this.
@PigCapitalist Dr. Paul admitted to writing the newletters, but he as stated over and over that the parts that you and the NR keep trying to make Dr. Paul look bad, he did not write. He can say it until he is blue in the face, he didn't write the racist parts. He has many writers at the time. Dr. Paul's focus was the Economic parts, that's it.
The truth is practically every news person on CNN works for Israel, including: John the King of Israel, his wife Dana Bash's every time Paul mentions Israel and Wolf Blister on the side of freedom.
i love how if u look at mitt romney videos or newt gingrich videos the comments are ALWAYS disabled.. its a very good representation of their character.. meanwhile ron paul encourages feed back.. channeledknowledge:org for real news btw
Dead horse?! The other day you said in front of a giant confederate flag the civil war was not about slavery motherfucker. You lied and back peddled about the newsletters and did not support the civil rights movements.
And he does not want to give colleges subsidies but had no problem voting to give his overlord oil companies they're subsidies. Go back to your sister fucking backwoods and stick to your paranoid, half senile rants on Alex Jones and take that retard of a son with you.
Dem·a·gogue

But for those that that have listened to Ron Paul on TV, in debates, in interviews and read his books over the years know that the language used in those racist newsletters is unlike anything Ron Paul has ever said.
So it is clear that he didn’t wrote them.
What you have as proof is testimonies with no credibility and Speculations to make your judgments, which means that you have nothing.

4) Paul defended those newsletter because he knew about them.
Some idiots that haven’t saw several interviews, speechs, books, etc. of RP, they don’t know language used by RP, and will make immediately and make the “Assumption” that Paul defended those newsletter because he wrote them.

The possible reasons of why RP defended the newsletters are:
1) Paul didn’t wrote and didn’t knew about those newsletters but defended them because he made the “Assumption” that they were taked out of context (or something like that).
2) Paul didn’t wrote and didn’t knew about those newsletters but defended them because the people in the campaing told him to do it.
3) Paul defended those newsletter because he wrote them.

(there is no way that he could be in that office “every day”). That means that their testimonies have “no credibility”.
In that time (1996) RP didn't explicitly denied that he “wrote” the newsletters, but neither he admitted explicitly having written those newsletters, he only defended them. Defend and admit are NOT the same thing (check a diccionary). Defending doesn’t necessarily mean that he wrote them (Cont)

An oligarchy is simply a government of a few, as in a few wise men. This form is what Plato preferred, since the wise are those who love knowledge more than money, and thus better suited to govern.
Our government is similar in that it's ruled by a few, a few wealthy elite but who are, for the most part, ignorant schmucks who love money more than knowledge. Don't be fooled - they share big egos but not big IQs.

No, yo didn't . If you had you would have seen that Paul, "defended the statements that appeared under his name, claiming that they expressed his "philosophical differences" with Democrats..." during his 1996 congressional...

@PigCapitalist Yes I did. You need to go back and read the reports. Your quotation is not a direct quote, it is a quote from the editors. If you want to quote Dr. Paul's actual words, that would be great.
You have yet to use Dr. Paul's actual words. I tried to be clear in my first response, but you must have glossed over it. The info is from the editors, not Dr. Paul. Dr. Paul denied all of these accusations from day one. There are dozens of videos to prove this.

@PigCapitalist Once again, let me try to make it clear for you. Dr. Paul knows about the newsletters, he admits to writing the economic ideas for them. BUT, he did not know about the racial stuff that was written by ghost writers, because he did not proof read the entire piece of work.

...race against Morris which is a clear flip-flop from his recent claim that "He wasn't aware of their existence" or that he "didn't read them".
"Don't forget, the same media outlets...said Iraq had weapons.."
Reason didn't. Dallas Morning News didn't and neither did his former secretary nor Ed Crane from the Cato institute. These are the sources I'm using, stop releasing red herrings and focus on my statements.

@PigCapitalist Unfortunately, your claim of Dr. Paul flip flopping is taking the editors word against Dr. Paul, again. Dr. Paul did not say these things, they are indirect quotes from the editors. If you want to use Dr. Paul's actual quotes, that would be great.

@PigCapitalist Do a quick google search on the newsletters, and you will find literally a few hundred thousand pages. Don't try to tell me that they all didn't claim WMDs.
I did not claim in my post, as you can re-read it here, that any specific media outlet wrote about WMDs. Stop trying to claim a red herring, when there is none.

@PigCapitalist Yep, I read that one. It's a good one. Unfortunately, you believe that if there are quotations ("") around a statement, that it is a direct quote from Dr. Paul. This is the whole point that you don't seem to understand. It is actually very easy to comprehend.

"Yep, I read that one."
No, you didn't. If you have you would have seen that where it says "At the time Paul defended" the word "defended" is highlighted which takes you to another article where Paul is quoted directly after being asked about the racist newsletters in '96 where he says, "It's typical political demagoguery" and again in '96 he's quoted saying his written commentary on blacks came in the, "current events and statistical reports of the time." ...
PigCapitalist 3 weeks ago
@PigCapitalist The highlighted word "defended" takes you to another Reason Magazine Article, where Dr. Paul is quoted as saying "The quotations in The New Republic article are not mine and do not represent what I believe or have ever believed. I have never uttered such words and denounce such small-minded thoughts."
It's in the first part of the linked article. Feel free to peruse it for a while.

@PigCapitalist "It's typical political demagoguery" is Dr. Paul talking about the news outlets taking his statements out of context. Dr. Paul was not stating as fact that "95 percent of the black men in Washington, D.C., are "semi-criminal or entirely criminal", he was poking at the political statistics at the time that were published by various gov agencies at the time. He's explained this in more than a few videos.

...Further down you can see that the quotes I provided come, again, directly from Paul. These two quotes, from two different newspapers show that (a) he wrote those racist columns, as he refers and defends the articles on blacks directly and also (b) that he flip-flopped his position on the content of the racist of the newsletters as he obviously does know who wrote them (himself).

@PigCapitalist Dr. Paul wrote the economic portions of the newsletters. He didn't write the parts that you keep pointing to. How many large newsletters are written in full by the person at the top of the page? Pretty much none of them.
Does Nick Gillespie write all of the articles in Reason Magazine? No, he does not. He didn't write the article that you and other uninformed people keep pointing too. It was written by a "contributing editor" and an "associate editor" for Reason.

@PigCapitalist Flip flopping, nope, it didn't happen. He has, from day one, stated that he only wrote the economic portions. Plain and simple.

You didn't claim any specific media outlet, but you did say "mainstream media", which is implies that I was using the "mainstream media" as a source, when in reality I am not. and that is indeed a red herring (and a strawman).
PigCapitalist 3 weeks ago
@PigCapitalist There was no implication, it was stated as fact. Do a google search, and you will find hundreds, if not thousands of articles on this.

I have been quoting Paul directly and I've provided the sources. What's happening here is that you either don't read the sources, or don't read them well enough/in their entirety and then claim I am not quoting him directly. You're being disingenuous.
PigCapitalist 3 weeks ago
@PigCapitalist Actually, they can't be used as direct quotations because you are getting your info from 2nd and 3rd party sources. If you want to quote somone, then you must quote the original piece. Please provide links to the actual sources. You can use MLA format if you want, or no format at all, it's up to you.
I'm being realistic. You are the one who is misleasing, as you have used sources that quote other sources, that don't even quote the original source. Try again.

"The quotes in the Reason article, are quotes from the Newsletter"
The one's I provided in my previous post(s) are not. As I explained in P.1-4 of these recent posts, and as it is clear in the article, they come from interviews in whic Paul defends the newsletters. This shows again that you're being disingenuous when claiming you've read the articles, when in reality you haven't done that.

@PigCapitalist The quotes where Dr. Paul said he did not write "those" parts of the newsletters are correct. The parts of the newsletters that are quoted as being written by Dr. Paul are not correct.
It doesn't matter how you use the quotes, because Dr. Paul has not changed his statements at all.

I think this comment pretty much sums up our interaction. When you decide what is true or false based on what Paul (now days) says is true or false you've revealed yourself as a cult member.

@PigCapitalist The quotes in the Reason article, are quotes from the Newsletter. They are NOT quotes from what Dr. Paul wrote. How do we know this?? Because Dr. Paul only wrote economic pieces, and he has stated this many times.
The flip flopping that you refer to has absolutely no merit, unless you can quote Dr. Paul directly.
If Dr. Paul was a typical politician that lied in every other video on youtube, like most of them do, then I would agree with you, but he does not.

@PigCapitalist Major Media Outlets have lied about Dr. Paul since the beginning.
I still ask that you show even one single time that Dr. Paul has flip flopped (not heresay, actual proof) on any issue, even the newsletters.
Don't forget, the same media outlets that claim Dr. Paul wrote the bad parts of the newsletters are the same ones that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and we absolutely had to goto war over this.

He can say it until he is blue in the face, he didn't write the racist parts. He has many writers at the time. Dr. Paul's focus was the Economic parts, that's it.
