Ron Paul a Racist? The Man Behind the Smears is a Weekly Standard Troublemaker

[LiberalBohemian]

So your points against the claim are:

1) He has the most minority support.

2) He's an antiwar president.

Pretty weak argument, and I happen to lean towards your side in this...

[watchmannoyes]

You just won a subscriber my friend. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Santorum!

[2wheels88]

Out of his 30 yrs in politics This is the only dirt they can come up with but guess what,it will not fly with most black people because they know Ron Paul comes from the south in a place where many blacks live and they have voted him in 13 times in a row so he can not possibly be racist and more and more black people are making videos to prove this and I commend them for defending Ron Paul because he defends you and your constitution.More of his constituents should make videos!!!

[landlogger]

Right on dude. Important info. Thanks.

[MrWatchdawg77]

Research Noel Ignatiev! He did a speech at a Boston Occupy rally!

[timothkeyyprice]

Did you call Jimmy Kirchick a shitty individual? Paddy paws, now.

[Conservative1001BG]

@timothkeyyprice I didn't say that. It may be true, but I did not say that in the video.

[timothkeyyprice]

@Conservative1001BG My mistake; at 4:17  ...... shady individual....

[sxdarknessxs]

you sir....you are amazing...:) R3volution 2012 :)

[joe80dman]

The Khazars are pulling out all the stops to destroy Ron Paul, and it's backfiring. Ron Paul 2012.

[mr32guns]

I'm sick of Ron Paul! Here is a man who stated during a debate to legalize heroien. As a father I want to punch him in the mouth for that arrogence!

[kbjcda]

@mr32guns Ron Paul never said he favors heroin being legal. What he DID say, and has said many times, is that the FEDERAL government has no authority to outlaw drugs. And he is 100% correct. The constitution does not give the federal government the power to make drugs illegal, and any power not specifically granted to the federal government is reserved for the states. (10th amendment). Dr. Paul does not want kids using heroin; he simply (correctly) says it is a state issue.

[kubaniski]

@mr32guns you should raise your kids better instead of expecting the government to do it for you.

[mr32guns]

Ron Paul is a weak man. I will never vote for him EVER!

[kbjcda]

@mr32guns A man who is risking his life by standing up to the Federal Reserve and the Banksters that are ruining this country is weak? They killed JFK and they tried to kill Reagan; after the attempt on Reagan he never talked about the Fed or the Gold standard. Ron Paul is up against PURE EVIL and he knows it, and you have the gall to call this great statesman Weak? You do not deserve to have a president of Dr Paul's Character. But I do... and he is winning! Ron Paul 2012!

[sopasuxs]

It seems more likely that the media has changed the story more so than Ron Paul has.

[lobat0674]

You look like Ron Paul.

[AnglosphereAlIiance]

Con1001BG. The point is he changed he position. He didn't deny he wrote them in 1996 but said they were taken out of context. Lew Rockwell, his chief of staff, close friend, and founder of the Von Mises Institute for Austrian Economics supposedly wrote them since only he and some of Ron's family were hired. It sounds like Rockwell if you look at his speeches. Rockwell and other people of Ron's inner circle believe in different average IQs for different races.

[ranondo92]

@mike1988123 Yes,I'm a troll for saying that Ron Paul isn't a racist and David Duke is ? go back to the drawing board .

[mike1988123]

@ranondo92...what does he even have to do with this video? again troll.

[levyjerome]

If Jim Kirchick has accused Ron Paul of being a racist and cited as evidence these letters that went out in Paul's name, it is up to the video to refute this and cite evidence. Instead the video is just an adhominem attack on the Weekly Standard and this writer-----an attack that does not relate to the charge of racism against Paul. He may be a "neocon" but he also may be right about Paul.

[computerpurple]

OH PUHLEEZE Ron Paul can't cry "victimology" he is a grown up he is responsible for what goes out under his name. Ron Paul never gave a full explanation as to how it came to be that such a event of information was released in his name.

[garrethdavis]

The msm, is full of such bullshit.

[joegully]

Rush Limbaugh gets a pass with Barack The Magic Negro but Ron Paul "not a racist" gets kicked in the nuts.

[dluchi28]

I don't think people are going to buy into Ron Paul being racist. Don't even stress about it. I bet you this topic will be dropped within the next week.

[mike1988123]

cultural marxism at its finest.

[jawara105]

Even if he was a racist (which I don't think he is) he is a strong advocate of the rights of the individual. Advocating the rights of the/an individual is advocating for FREEDOM. You couldn't have slavery without encroaching on the rights of the individual.

[cooeypig]

The zionist media is doing all they can to keep Ron Paul down. Their latest tool is playing the race card.

[ranondo92]

@Conservative1001BG

Ron Paul may not be a racist but David Duke is a racist but claim he isn't

[mike1988123]

@ranondo92...I believe neither are.

[ranondo92]

@mike1988123 ha bullshit

[mike1988123]

@ranondo92 troll

[EarlRegent]

You guys are actually the real Americans; the Americans everyone admires not the socialist left or war monger neo-cons.

You know what I have come to figure out?

I have a hard time "keepen it classy" when talking to douchebags.... lol.... I called Governor Terry Branstad of Iowa yesterday to tell him he was an asshole.... lol.... The number there is

Death of The GOP

[takerdust]

There were many newsletters and had different articles. I think the newsletter was written and edited by a team of 5-8 people.

[Jack194343]

@takerdust Why are all your comments being removed?

[takerdust]

@Jack194343 I think I deleted to re-do. I can't go back and edit.

[OmarThePug]

Don't vote for racism...vote for despotism! haha

[MrJayra210]

Conservative1001BG Never stop your videos, your message is spreading and with that Ron will get elected.

Thank you sir.

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

how old are you, bro?

Old enough to vote? :D

[Dehzee]

I know this won't effect your vote, but what about mainstream tv loving America?

[faraway9222]

Ron Paul has the support of the president of the NAACP. How are there any questions about him being racist?

[VictoryInTruth]

@faraway9222 He needs to come out and repudiate these allegations. Now is not the time to stand silent.

[takerdust]

@faraway9222 President of the Austin, TX NAACP local chapter.

[EarlRegent]

@faraway9222 Because people like you are still entertaining the idea. Let it die cause no one believes that.

[faraway9222]

@EarlRegent This is a video about the subject. Don't tell me that, tell @Conservative1001BG. But honestly, it seems a bit narrow-minded to say "no one believes that". Obviously you don't, but the ignorant do. How do you squash ignorance other then by spreading truth?

[AnglosphereAlIiance]

@faraway9222

The NAACP is a racist organization. 

[kubaniski]

@AnglosphereAlIiance as much as it pains us guys in the realist community, we're going to have to keep quiet about this thing at least until Paul wins the primary. So don't get into this and let the egalitarians do their poopyface calling thing. It's a hard to watch but the political climate requires it. 

[faraway9222]

@AnglosphereAlIiance sure, but the whole concept of racism is muddled and abstract. Ron Paul is accused of racially insensitive/offensive remarks towards black people, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gave Ron Paul his support. So in the sense that Ron Paul "offended" a group of people, if an organization that claims to represent that group gives him full support, that should provide a serious reason to doubt any claims of racism on Ron Paul's part.

[prepstarr25]

You were such a good straight edge cool kid that was all clean cut,mainstream and than all of a sudden this Ron Paul thing has made you somewhat the opposite out of the loop, distraught, we see it in your facial expressions,demeanor,way of expressing yourself and of course of great importance is the things you say.Try to watch yourself somehow from an external point of view and look at yourself honestly and objectively.Hopefully, you return to earth I know you can and be the light you once were.

[danftv8]

@prepstarr25 ive seen this guy before, and i have to say he does indeed "keep it classy" i like how prepstarr goes on in this descriptive spacey monologue and has nothing substantial to say like most people who dont understand ron paul. i dont have blind faith and im not on another planet. the facts will keep piling up on you whether you accept them or not. stop criticizing people with no facts im tired of that shit, it goes nowhere

[VictoryInTruth]

@prepstarr25 Earth as we know it is in a failing state, I don't know why anyone would want to return to a burning building once they know it is on fire. If you have any regard for honesty and objectivity, you should know there is something wrong when the entire media has 3 "important" questions for Ron Paul

- Will he support Mitt or Newt?

- Will he run 3rd party?

- Is he a racist?

And then glossed over with themes like "winning is losing" and "he doesn't represent voters", right after they vote.

[atkraust]

@itubetude

No, he didn't. Stop spreading misinformation. He already said he didn't write them. That CNN faux-reporter wouldn't accept his answer to her question - the same question she asked him over and over and over and over again.

[itubeutude]

@atkraust I've seen a video where he did say (in his sketchy way) that he did write some. Which one's nobody knows.

[Jack194343]

Now that Newt is in a nosedive, it's Ron's turn to be number one flavor of the month, and what that means is that it's his turn to be vetted, and that's going to be an ugly business.The Ron fanatics have been raging for months that Ron has been neglected by the press.They should have been thankful.Now all the craziness of Ron will be put under the microscope; and like all those Republican nut cases that went before, he will crash and burn.Ron's a nice guy, but many of his ideas are insane.

[manniman82]

@Jack194343 Paul won't nose dive. 1- All those allegations have been debunked

scribd . com/doc/76280303/PaulNewslette­rsFaq-Tunk#outer_page_3

2- His support is informed enough to research the claims and judge for themselves

3- He will win Iowa, demagogues or not, and will probably come in second or even a surprise victory in NH. From there anything can happen.

[Jack194343]

@manniman82 I don't know why you think the racist allegations have been debunked. It's true that Ron has made excuses, but if you listen to the new--liberal or conservative--his explanations are not being accepted. The racial stuff--though a surprise to me--is only the opening volley. Ron has a lot of ideas that would be absolutely ruinous to a large percentage of Americans. The nastiness has just begun.

[manniman82]

@Jack194343 No wonder you think it hasn't been debunked, you say that "it's a surprise" to you. The fact is that these accusations were brought up 20 years ago, it's been know for 20 years, nothing new. RP disavowed them and has explained it, the media is just bring up an old old story again that's been already explained. See my link in my other post.

If you want to discuss his policies, I'll be more than glad to provide you the real facts about his policies...

[Jack194343]

@manniman82 These are accusations that just cannot be put to bed even after 20 years. You might reflect on the possibility that perhaps these accusations have a leg to stand on.

[Jack194343]

@manniman82 I think there is a good possibility that RP will take Iowa, but that doesn't mean too much b/c Iowa has never accurately predicted a presidential winner. Iowa always picks a fringe candidate that goes nowhere. I know you don't accept pundits, but they are saying if RP takes Iowa, that would be a win for Romney b/c it will show Gingrich can't carry the supper conservative vote, thus meaning Romney is still in the race no matter where he places in Iowa. No one takes RP seriously.

[manniman82]

@Jack194343 Obama's campaign took off in Iowa, he was going nowhere before that...

Dude, pundits on TV are paid to say what they say. If they go out off script, they won't be invited again, simple. The fact is they are scared to death of Ron Paul and his movement. they tried ignoring it, didn't work, they dismissed it, didn't work. They said "OMG whoever wins Iowa will be the one to beat, Iowa is so important..." Now it's likely Paul will win, all of a sudden it doesn't matter LMAO

[VictoryInTruth]

@Jack194343 Ron wasn't at 2% and all of the sudden WINNING, its been a slow and steady rise. Despite the fact the far-left has made an unholy alliance with the neocons to try and break him, I predict he will remain victorious. Time will tell. Allegations of racism are thrown around these days, I'm surprised they still hold any weight. There's nothing insane about the constitution.

[Jack194343]

@VictoryInTruth Personally I would like to see RP win the GOP nomination b/c I am confident that, as weak as Obama is, RP would be the easiest of all the Republicans for him to beat. And lets face it, the GOP ticket is so ridiculous this time that it's hard to believe that any one of them could beat Anne Oakley--who is dead and not running--let alone Obama.

[manniman82]

@Jack194343 "RP would be the easiest of all the Republicans for him to beat."

You obviously don't look at the polls huh? RP is the only GOP that beats Obama among independents and dissatisfied dems.

Also, I'll let you in a little secret: most people voting RP will rather write his name instead of voting GOP or Obama. So if the GOP candidate is anyone other than RP, GOp loses the libertarian vote AND the indy vote = no chance of winning.

RP is actually the only one that can win...

[manniman82]

@Jack194343 Liberal media knows that RP is actually the only one that beat Obama, and that is why they dread RP. Neocon media dread RP because he is against the wars. That is why there is this unholy alliance between the neocons and the far left against Ron Paul.

[Jack194343]

@VictoryInTruth The racism charge appears to be sticking.RP's excuse that he had no clue what was being published in his name in a bulletin bringing significant amounts of money to him simply doesn't ring true. Even RP admits his interpretation of the Constitution goes against two-hundred years of interpretation by the Supreme Court, the Constitutionally assigned (legal) arbiter of that document. RP is not really a GOP or a DEM. He is out in the cold--seen as just another nut case.Nice guy, but

[VictoryInTruth]

@Jack194343 Significant amounts of money? Was he selling racism for 20 years & all they can do is cherry pick 2 or 3 quotes? Sure, if there were only 3 letters published in the span of 20 years, then that would be a valid conclusion.

And yes, he does go against 200 years of interpretation. You forget that the interpreters are men, not stone. Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall.. coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debt.

[VictoryInTruth]

@Jack194343 How do you misinterpret Article 1, Section 10 when it is written in plain English? How else can someone say that? That's just one example. Not all of the founders agreed with the constitution's limitation of powers, Hamilton being a prime example. So the idea that the document has been defended by purists for all of those 200 years falls a little short.

[manniman82]

Ok thunbs this up.

This will shade some light on the newsletters, the MLK day issue, the Rosa Parks medal and other attacks by the demagogues. That being said, Ron Paul should say who did it so we can move on:

[itubeutude]

1:23 RP has admitted he wrote some of them. I don't think he handed that CNN reporter too well. RP is guilty of not checking what went out under his name. I wonder how much money he made from the newsletters.

[Ihateregistrations1]

@itubeutude No, you're wrong. He hasn't said that he wrote any of them. He probably made squat compared to any of the other republicans that are running.

[VictoryInTruth]

@itubeutude Ok? Go to any "big name" website. They have numerous people writing their articles, and occasionally they will write their own pieces. This is nothing unique to Ron Paul. Do you think Reverend Wright was damning America in all of his sermons, and Obama attended them all? Read any of Ron Paul's writings, his speeches or his books, these comments bare no resemblance. Today its racism, tomorrow its anti-semitism, and then its going to get ugly. You heard it here first.

[VictoryInTruth]

The Weekly Standard is brought to you by the same crooks who told us Saddam was the hiding WMDs under his palace because there was -no evidence- that he had them.

Now they're telling us Ron Paul is the next Hitler. They can all go to hell.

[CRAPCANNONS]

Was Democratic Senator Robert Byrd a racist?

He was in the KKK after all.

Never heard CNN MSNBC or anyone pipe up while he was around.
