At the same time as this speech and those so called damning news letters there was this thing called Iran/Contra reaching the public ears. The gov was flooding (and had been) cocaine into inner city neighborhoods The target, minoritys. Internet people, its at your finger tips. Ron Paul n 12.
Yes drugs should be decriminalized! It leads to less spending in overseas military operations, prison management and less crime! On the other hand, I think drugs have to be taxed like any other business which means more money for the gouvernment
By the way, I have never voted and probably never will or have any reason to vote Republican. If anything I wish the parties further left of the Democratic party stood a chance. I was not a Obama or Hillary person when the nominations came, I was a Dennis Kucinich person. And I have been heavily disappointed by how Obama has handled, at least what little he has had to work with. I also think that the Republican party is littered with racism against Obama. And I still think Ron Paul is refreshing
@YabusameLuna Ron Paul's views contradict basically everything the mainstream GOP is fro. Dennis Kucinich and Paul aren't very different. While having conflicting views on most things they both come across as the most sincere, honest and well meaning politicians to do well enough in a presidential campaign to actually make the debates in a long time. They'll never get a chance though. The media will never treat candidates like them fairly.
I think that of all the people that supporters of "liberalism"(what the heck is a liberal anyway, isn't that supposed to be mean market economics? Neocons have the weirdest insults.), Ron Paul is the last person in the right wing they should attack. He is the most progressive member of the Republican party. On everything but economics where he's another silly right-winger. But the freedom he advocates is downright revolutionary in the Republican party.
So many idiots on here. Your candidate isn't going to come close to winning. So go and vote for him like the sheep you are. Just know that your vote won't mean shit.
If you believe in liberty, true liberty and American ideals of the founding forefathers, vote RON PAUL in your Republican primaries. The rest are just more of the status quo that got us in the mess we are in now!
Who would ever guess the best hope for blacks to enjoy the total freedoms of this country is in the heart of and elderly ob/gyn white guy.Sure isn't in the heart of the black president of the United States of Chicago.
@kastnmagic I have study something. I read the newsletters. I'm not voting for a guy with those types of views. If you think I'm an idiot for not voting for a racist, then I'm a idiot.
hey Young Turds, if you really want to see hoe REAL JOURNALISM is done watch this>
/watch?v=rGH77lZsglU
This is real reporting not this half ass stand up/infotainment crap that has been shoved down your throats in the last 10 years ...ENJOY! see what you have lost ..
I think Cenk is a coward. When he spoke about the newsletters he expressed his (negative) opinion loud and clear, now he says "here are the facts, I won't tell you what to think".. It looks like he realized Ron isn't a racist but won't admit it. All Republicans must be baaad.
@MysticXtU Agree so much with this statement. I love Cenk and think he's awesome, but sometimes his Republican hate and liberal bias gets to me a little bit....no a lot. Still think he's a good guy, but not reaching his full potential of open-mindedness, and there by becoming a superbadass journalist.
Yet another reason why I think weed should be legalized, although the fact that I'm against making something illegal if it doesn't cause real harm is still the biggest thing.
This is the most condescending piece of shit I've ever seen. What did the Whites use??? People think this is some kind of revelation?? The legal system is racially biased??? This is the bigotry of low expectations...we've incarcerated so many people b/c there were little to no standards for putting a person in prison and ruining his future, that a person that even clumsily broaches the story seems like a hero...even if he pretty much helped the White Power-Turner Diaries Militia movement.
@MrSinnisterUrge Again, it just shows how devoid of standards Americans actually have now and how Ronald Reagan and Karl Rove won...they killed the teacher's nationally union, busted unions..started putting a Black face on welfare when it was used countrywide and pretty much played the culture war to a shell-shocked, but compliant MSM, in the efforts to create dumber people because smart people usually vote Democratic in Rove's own words. Fast forward to today, corruption everywhere, and in an
@MrSinnisterUrge Election with an incumbent even more beatable that Jimmy Carter, the GOP couldn't find ONE competent, clean person to run against him. NOT ONE...not one that didn't talk on both sides of his mouth or came of dumber that a bag of rocks. All the elite people are busy RIPPING US OFF...lol. IT is flat out pathetic....all the Elite people don't want their tax records audited...and we, as a people, have pushed our expectations back so far..this seems normal. Damn.
@MrSinnisterUrge Shit, if the GOP wouldn't spent so long trying to delegitimize him because he was Black, intelligent, and popular, Michael Steele could've beaten Barack Obama. He's a decent debater, he knows how to spin an issue, and he's contrite when he needs to be and obfuscatory when it calls for it. But they were scared of a Black-Black pres race then...until they looked at their bench at the next up and found that they had all arrived late ON THE SMALL BUS. So they got Herman Cain WOW
TYT rules. You just provide the truth and let the chips fall where they may. Too bad the television media won't adapt this format. Imagine a world where news is just reported with honesty but I guess they don't want to offend their sponsors. It is easier for them to offend their viewers instead. Great job Turks. I am a fan.
I remember attending a speech done by an ALCU attorney about how more white people do drugs compared to minorities but minorities are imprisoned way...in other words, the proportion of white people doing drugs is larger due to white people making up the majority of the American population. I don't know what the answer to this problem is of racist arrests, however maybe training the cops to be militaristic isn't the answer....
@TheMartin9400 You are missing the point. Around 1960, all White countries opened their borders and let in millions of non-Whites. Then governments and media told us all to “assimilate” or “mix together”. And now, Whites are expected to be minorities in most White countries by 2040 as predicted by those governments. If this was done to all black countries and only black countries, people would recognize it as the genocide it is. "Anti-racism" is a codeword for anti-white.
THE ZIONIST MEDIA WONT SHOW HIS OWN WORDS THEY LIE LIE LIE. SEARCH AND SEE HIS OWN WORDS For 30 years have been to end the WAR ON DRUGS Because of how many BLACKS ARE IN JAIL BECAUSE OF IT. THEY TWIST IT as if he is saying something else. THIS IS SLANDEROUS LIBELOUS ZIONIST LIES ... HE WANTS TO End the wars, End the fed, stop the NAZI nation stealing murdering, really secure the border, end war on drugs, end the IRS and HES NOT A PUPPET this is why he is being attacked
Come on get over it, he may have written down some racially charged lines at the time but he has also stood for freedom and fairness for everyone, including minorities, and done so without wavering for decades, please please please hit that reset button and vote Dr Paul !!
Racism takes on many forms. It's OK for people to post Black Panther Racism, and say they're not Racist against Black's, but if someone dumb in the Ron Paul Staff posts Racist remarks, then he's considered a Racist. Ron Paul never wrote those lines in his Newsletters, because if you have any idea of style and writing quality, you'd know it wasn't written by this Medical Doctor, who had good grammatical skills, not like the poor quality of those racist remarks contained in the Newsletters.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign catch-phrase, “Keep America American,” was a central theme of Ku Klux Klan publications and threats towards African-Americans and other minorities in the early 1900s
"Ron Paul is vilified for missing a few paragraphs out of hundreds of newsletters by people who pass 2,000-page bills without reading a single word." — Hosanna Myers
@avatarmn Seems to me Obama has done way more to hurt brown people at home than Ron P . he delivered a lot of "brown babies " for one . What has Obama done for "brown people " besides lie thru his pearly white teeth ?He allowed selling weapons to mexican drug cartels, wonder how many "brown people died ? He allowed drone bombings in Libya & Pakistan killing 1000's of brown people ,shall I go on ,or is that enough ?
@kellyelainewright61 LOL @ Libya and Pakistan being "at home". Not to mention the idea that more of the people of those countries aren't helped by Quadaffi and Al Qaeda being killed. And that Obama knew about the botched plan against the Mexican drug cartels. Bottom line is that basically Ron Paul hasn't had the power to make any mistakes yet, anyway. Doesn't mean he won't if he gets it.
@avatarmn LOL I think I know Libya & Pakistan are not at " home " so it's OK to kill brown people as long as they are not on US soil ?Quadaffi was put in power by CIA , CIA runs Al Qaeda ,boy r u a sheep ? What do u mean botched plan ? Obama's kept the Bush tax cuts ,and the Patriot act ,& Guantanamo ,& he is about to start another war in Iran ! What does it take to get u people to see that his plans are the same as Bush's who is now considered a war criminal in other countries !
@avatarmn We're not just talking about mistakes, we're talking about a economic meltdown which will effect the Middle Class America as we all knew it, and that effects you and me! Not the rich, just the Middle Class mind you. Ron Paul is the ONLY ONE who will address the overspending, Federal Reserve Chicanery, and get us back on track. Mistakes can be made but he's not going there. 45% of our spending is for Military spending. Think we can cut 50% of that...sure! World Police is over!
@caroln1858 Regulation is the only thing that would prevent another economic meltdown, and Ron Paul would end all regulation. He'd pay down the deficit in a hurry, but then another catastrophe would come and he'd stand aside and let it happen.
@avatarmn Wrong, the current system will inevitably fail, eventually and sonner than later, there is no getting out of it. It is simply not possible to overcome the debt while keeping the system on crutches in it's current fashion. It's inevitable that something major has to collapse, our children and grandchildren will live through this collapse, so why not make it a controlled demolition rather than catastrophe???
@avatarmn Wrong. A major system collapse is inevitable, it's simply impossible to maintain the current system, on it's crutches, while our children and grandchildren get enslaved by the phenomenal financial debt of it all. We have the choice of making it a controlled demolition and rebuild, or suffer through uncontrolled catastrophes or a mass revolution that will eliminate the ruling class. Change is inevitable and more of the same is not helping anyone but the rulers.
@avatarmn I believe Mr Paul's approach is to limit the government as much as possible and allow the states the freedom to regulate as they see fit, which is how the authors of the constitution would have wanted it.
@jschultzVII 10 sentences out of 10,000 pages are racist, and you blame him for not catching it? He was working 40-80 hours a week delivering babies for free to all nationalities that couldn't afford it while in debt. He had a large family, like 5 children. He got paid like 200 dollars up front to write the article and that's it.
Liberterian views were ignored at the time. If they were, he most definitely would've heard about and had the ability to act on it sooner.
@crack3rm4 Yes I blame him, it has his name on it and he made a lot of money off it's sale. If you can't even control what it's in your own goddamn newsletter, what does that say about your competence? The basic excuse I keep hearing is "well he was way too busy to even proofread what was said in his name before it went to print." It's absurd. And Libertarians are supposed to be the ones all about "personal responsibility". If it's not his fault, then whose is it?
@jschultzVII He did claim responsibility for what was written on it, but not for writing it. Do you understand the difference? There are two issues: Did he write them? Does he take responsibility for them? No, and Yes. There is no simple All or Nothing answer.
Consider if he was racist, he wouldn't be the only person up there fighting against the War on Drugs and FOR the 500,000 Iraqi children we bombed prior to 9/11, which nobody seems to care about besides him.
@crack3rm4n Yeah in 1996......... after it was clear Rothbard's "redneck outreach" had failed. He may not be racist, but he did allow racist things to be said in his name and his bank account filled with the proceeds. Maybe he was just an extreme cynic, looking to expand the tenants of Libertarian to marginal types, dumb rednecks, white trash and other fuckoffs. Lew had to use that type of rhetoric to draw the misfits in.
@crack3rm4n And thanks for at least having a civil debate, I do appreciate that. And I want to make clear i'm not calling Libertarians "white trash or dumb rednecks" in the present, i'm talking about Murray Rothbard's strategy for promoting the movement in the 80's/ early 90's.
TYT have gained alot of Respect for this, not many left leaning or right leaning Political commentry shows both sides of the story, and thankfully they have.
If we guarantee your liberty as an individual, that means you have civil rights to live your lifestyle. You actually can do things that I might disapprove of. But I'm very tolerent. As a libertarian, I say "Well, I might not endorse your lifestyle. You might smoke some things and drink some things and eat some things and act certain ways that I totally abhor -- but as long as you don't hurt anyone else, I'm not gonna bother you."
Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY!
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
This is so awesome, these MSM attacks are going to be the most EPIC backfire in American history. Ron Paul is pulling back the curtain and the American people will catch these puppeteers with their pants down...LMAO! FREEDOM! Ron Paul 2012!
even if he breaks down the story, most people dont get it cause they are dumb and dumber every day. I havenot been to this country too long But most people i met here are ignorant and dont know what is going on OUTSIDE the world
Quotes from the Brilliant Dr. Ron Pauls newsletter: "Racial Violence Will Fill Our Cities" because "mostly black welfare recipients will feel justified in stealing from mostly white 'haves.' "
"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be."
"I think we can assume that 95 percent of the black men in that city [Washington] are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
Amendment? Amendments are ALL unconstitutional, since the Constitution is perfect it requires no additions or deletions of any kind. Any other opinion is heresy, so saith the blessed Lord Paul.
When will All Americans realize that laws don't stop people from doing drugs. If you disagree with me let me ask you this. If tomorrow cocaine was made legal Would you snort cocaine to tomorrow?
O. K. NOW DO YOU FINALLY GET IT.
Laws don't stop you from taking drugs. Your common sence stops you from doing drugs.
Do you really feel its a good thing for governments to push all the profits of drugs into organized crime syndicates. That all the War on drugs accomplishes. The hells Angels love th
@armyveteran101st - Prohibition = high profit margin for the drug cartels on the illegal black market. It's all a money game to those playing it, not to mention the money they use to buy weapons, but all the while costing human lives and suffering. I don't want to keep paying my government to dictate to people how they should live, druggies don't exactly live too long. The molestor maybe can serve a whole sentence if this ridiculous war is ended, and let the laws work for the people not against.
@armyveteran101st - It is dangerous, "when truth is treason in the empire of lies." You need to read up more on the outcomes of the drug war, it has failed immensely with human casualties, suffering and violence. It has turned good officers into federally funded mobsters, look up the corruption etched in history. I have friends serving in Afghanistan, it's not a secret that they're harvesting heroin and opium fields over there. End the wars!
To all republicans: Ron Paul would like to repeal the civil rights act of 1968. Specifically the part that says you can be jailed for refusing to serve food to a black person. Do u feel that it is good to jail those that refuse to serve black people? yes or no. Follow up: Do you think, Ron Paul's lack of understanding of race relations America, is due to his roots in deep south Texas?
Ron Paul did not actually write those newsletters. The issue is really more that he allowed them to be published under his name, which does show negligence, perhaps. He is not a racist. Racism is inherently against his libertarian views, but the media need something to dredge up to use against him
@ElRolloQ I give him a pass on this negligence, as bad as the letters are. He was practicing medicine at the time which is a round-the-clock job as an OB/GYN. Can we blame him for not taking time out of his hellish schedule to review everything that came out in his name? Ron Paul probably trusted the people who were releasing the newsletters and his trust was abused. His policies and voting record assure me 100% that he is no racist.
@painet1776 Yes we can blame him. If he can't even control what was published in his name, that could be viewed as extreme incompetence. Plus that shit went on for over a decade, and he made money off it. A lot of it. You're suggesting that in a 10 year span he couldn't take an hour to say "hey fuckheads, quit abusing my name for your own foul ends!" Would you allow your name to be used in such a manner?
@jschultzVII You can blame him. I don't really care. I don't consider it extreme incompetence to not read every single word of his newsletter when it was not his main focus at the time. Even if he did say those things and I don't think he did, but if it were his words I still wouldn't care. The policies he is talking about and that he promises to pursue in office would help minorities in this country more than any other recent President. That is more important than a character flaw.
True, the so-called failed "drug war" affects some races more than others, but the real reason why Ron Paul wants to do away with the drug war is because he thinks that everything government does is wrong. He has some good ideas that are driven by the absolute wrong intent, which is to completely destroy government. That's why I keep saying that Ron Paul is dangerous, because he disguises his true intent by talking about popular concepts like the legalization of drugs. He needs to go away!
@armyveteran101st Yes. There is some sense in his foreign policy and his position on homeland security and the patriot act...admirable... but he really lets things down when it comes to Social Security, Medicare, Public Education and his refusal to regulate corporations and big oil. The whole states rights issue was decided in the Civil War. We are the United States...with a central government...for crying out loud. It has served us well since the founding fathers.
@seamoremonster Exactly. If Ron Paul had his way he would undo every ounce of progress that this society has achieved since its founding, in order to replace it with pure, unadulterated anarchy. That is really what he is calling for, even though he doesn't do it in so many words.
@seamoremonster And to say that we are to blame for the 9/11 attacks and for the existence of fundamentalist Islamic terrorists is simply beyond the pale. No one with those beliefs should be elected to dog catcher, much less President.
@armyveteran101st Yes, of course. The poor innocent America did nothing bad to the Muslim world except install and supported dictators, dozens of Muslim countries and supported Israel ethnic cleansing of Palestinians for more then 60 years.
Ron Paul's drug reform would have problems for the same reason current law does. The laws are not guided by cool heads and those who desire a scientific approach to making law and prosecuting malefactors. Nonetheless, his allegiance to the constitution is nonpareil. Ending foreign aid would in the end have no impact on foreign policy because we're in the habit of aiding our foes as often as our enemies. Just yesterday, the Egytian military that receives 1.3 B$/yr raided our pro-dem orgs
Narcotics should be illegal because they are addictive. The user may make a choice out of ignorance or because of social surroundings or out of desperation, but the will of the user ceases to exist in the depths of addiction. We need federal laws against narcotics because it allows greater coordination between municipal, state, and national law enforcement. I agree that punitive sentences for nonviolent drug crimes should be replaced with mandatory treatment (institutional or not) and education.
@deepfriedchocobo I'm opposed to gambling. It's not even a legitimate business. I can scarcely imagine how people do it. Giving your money away... I'm sure alcohol plays its fair share in compulsive gambling and therefore to the enrichment of casino operators. That case is not as clear as addictive drugs. Heroin, cocaine, meth etc are addictive and their use invariably leads to organ failure and death. Is it a matter for individuals to choose to die? To hell with science? We know better already.
@MinisterAilingTongue Yeah! All goods that have the potential to temporarily cause any noticeable harm, when used improperly, should be illegal.
Your policy clearly results in justice:
A man who never does wrong to anyone, chooses to responsibly uses one of these goods. Strangers come demanding obedience under threat of violence. They take physical control of the male to enable the prolonged infliction of various harm upon him.
@ZorkFrobozz Marijuana isn't addictive. Its sale shouldn't be curtailed unless a majority of citizens in a state decides to regulate it or prohibit it. It clearly represents a smaller threat than alcohol to some people and cigarettes to all people. Cigarettes have a cumulatively destructive impact on health that is inevitable and predictable whereas meth, heroine, and cocaine destroy health in a hurry and interfere with people's ability to function making them a problem for others to fix...
@ZorkFrobozz Pretty damn arrogant to assume you could control your use of those addictive drugs. If you lose control and begin to destroy yourself, the rest of society is burdened with you. Some people respect the prevailing medical judgement regarding which drugs may be used recreationally and ethically without harming the user. Should they idly watch while you follow a predictable path and become a burden just so you can selfishly obtain a high? C'est dégoûtant!
@MinisterAilingTongue The prevailing medical opinion is bollocks. It actively encourages people to take all manner of strong psychoactive drugs like prozac and dextroamphetamine. Alcohol is advertised all over the place, as are cigarettes. The 'consensus' is based on corruption and ignorance.
Meanwhile, drugs like mushrooms have zero addictive potential, virtually zero risk of harm in any way, and have been used for thousands of years. But they are 'schedule one.'
@MinisterAilingTongue Where do you get off thinking it's okay to hurt the other members of your species for having different beliefs than yourself? Or for behaving in ways that don't conform to a category of actions that you've deemed optimal in your own personal life?
Look at your own behavior, first; and the traits you share with tyrants.
Learning from experience is growth. Why do you reject free will? Why do you seek to punish people? Do you think poorly of humanity?
@ZorkFrobozz What are you gibbering about? Medicine as well as public regulation of the consumption of substances evidentially harmful to health should be rational. The effects of using heroine, cocaine, meth and a number of other addictive drugs are predictable, invariably destructive to the individual using them. The only individuals willing to sell such things belong to organized crime. This is not so with marijuana. Its production and sale do not inevitably lead to grave harm and death.
It's a shame that they had to put this video out to appease the crybabies who were all bent out of shape the other day. This in no way weighs out the stuff in those newsletters.
@Angryskeleton His point was current. In that they'll outlaw drugs, but they're drinking a drug that was once outlawed itself. It's about hypocrisy, but nitpick all you want.
@deadflagbluesxxx "But lo and behold the drug that inebriates most of the members of Congress has not been touched because they're up there drinking alcohol.”
That's just false, it has been touched, they just backed down on the prohibition. Not to mention that there are still laws today regulating the consumption of alcohol (it's not for people under 21, and you can't drink and drive).
@deadflagbluesxxx Ok, just forget about the regulation laws, this is not my point and if it were only for that I would not have bothered saying he was inexact. My point is: alcohol has been criminalized, it's just not anymore, what don't you understand?
Actually, it seems like he's been kissing RP's ass recently, ever since he's started doing well in the polls. Probably hopes RP gets the nomination, since his whackjob followers will scare more people into voting for Obama.
I DO agree that he's Al Gore's bitch though (I always skip those Current TV promos). It's funny that he claims to be agianst The One Percent, when Al Gorebot is about as elite as it gets.
@ProfessorxVile The last decade has seen the govt go from servant to master. It's actually normal to see it announce plans to abuse us by illegally violating our rights. Any govt that breaks the law is illegitimate. Today it's an organized crime syndicate that routinely defecates on the principles of freedom then points at it.
This corrupt govt lets a few criminal banks loot the US for years on end. Only propaganda slaves would reelect neocons and banks. Fear of Obama boost Ron.
@BestTechnoTrance Yes I know he made it sound like fact at the end of that video but he did point out in the beginning that it could be false. I know very well that Ron Paul is not a racist and Cenk was just being ignorant at that moment, it does not make him Al Gores bitch. They're not making good money, they're actually begging people to put their channel on cable networks, they are not even national.
@Sweetp000433 Cenk didn't sell out for NBC, but the TYT crew would be stable perspective. Now whole crew is involved, their BOSS is an influential politician with powerful connections; a politician who won his presidential campaign.
We chose him, not Bush. With irrefutable proof of that fact available at the time and a law suit in the works, he suddenly forfeits presidency, hands the USA to neocons & banks (death sentence); then 'earns' 300mil.
In the anti-white PC cult,ALL white people who oppose the global genocide of white children via the imposition of mass immigration and "assimilation" only on white countries is a "racist".
This is why we say: Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
@BestTechnoTrance How is that gullible, I can only go by his actions since I can't read his mind, you are just pulling an idea out of no where. You have no proof but I guess I should take it as fact cause you say so.
@BestTechnoTrance He turned down a job from msnbc, he turned down good money cause he wouldn't fold, why the hell would he be a bitch for Al Gore. I have proof of his integrity and all you're doing is hating. Just like all those people who smear Ron Paul's name with no facts to back it up.
@ProIndividual please google "Ayan Rand and Austrian economics: Two peas in a pod" Walter Block The Journal of Ayan Rand Studies 6, no 2 (Spring 2005) 259-69
The war on drugs does affect minorities the most check the facts fool. Who do you think the cop searches when he pulls them over, a black man or white man, most likely the black. Who does the judge hand the longer sentences too? Yeah the minorities. Check the fucking facts. Ron Paul isn't saying only minorities do these drugs, he is saying the way the laws are designed is to fuck these people and its wrong. You wake up @sweetriverbanks1. Who you gonna vote for if not Ron Paul?
Funny how Paul's hero Reagan, was a big part in fueling the War on Drugs program created under Nixon, which gave it momentum to become the MONSTER it is today. He might as well make the mid-80s democratic congress his hero's to being they begun the horrible mandatory minimum sentencing madness.
I love Paul for his anti-war stance and going after lobbyists, he should be given a medal, but his roots and true core beliefs are just too conservative for me. His Reagan worshiping is a bit scary.
But even in that clip, Ron Paul generalized "blacks". He generalizes everyone except whites. As if white people dont use drugs. ANd Cenk, his comments were not clearly in favor of minorities. I heard a man that loves freedom more than he hates minorities, which is not a good thing.
@sweetriverbanks1 - Maybe you didn't listen to the whole video. If you were trying to be honest, you would have acknowledged the fact that Ron Paul implied that whites who happen to hold the majority of political seats drink plenty of alcohol and no laws ever try to curtail alcohol use.
Maybe you are missing the point. Anyone who generalizes any group of people has a problem. Period point blank. Its not just Mexicans and Blacks doing drugs while regular white people arent doing anything. Conversely, to accuse Congress of being all drunks doesnt carry the same weight because that statement does not indict all white people and furthermore, it plays on no stereotype.
@sweetriverbanks1 The laws would discriminate on racial lines. For an example Crack which was more often bought by minorities or poor people would get longer prison sentences then if they had Cocaine. Some of these sentences would be equal to murdering someone if you where in possession of Crack and not Cocaine. Which in case you don't know Crack is a cheaper version of Cocaine.
I am well aware of all of this. My point was that the implicit racism Pauls statements in that clip does not mean he is incapable of writing the content in those racist newsletters. Not even close. IMHO, it only means that Paul despises the the nature of the war on drugs more than he does blacks or mexicans. That is the only thing that is proven from the provided clip IMO.
At the same time as this speech and those so called damning news letters there was this thing called Iran/Contra reaching the public ears. The gov was flooding (and had been) cocaine into inner city neighborhoods The target, minoritys. Internet people, its at your finger tips. Ron Paul n 12.

Yes drugs should be decriminalized! It leads to less spending in overseas military operations, prison management and less crime! On the other hand, I think drugs have to be taxed like any other business which means more money for the gouvernment

@TheMartin9400 You are missing the point. Around 1960, all White countries opened their borders and let in millions of non-Whites. Then governments and media told us all to “assimilate” or “mix together”. And now, Whites are expected to be minorities in most White countries by 2040 as predicted by those governments. If this was done to all black countries and only black countries, people would recognize it as the genocide it is. "Anti-racism" is a codeword for anti-white.

Racism takes on many forms.

Ron Paul never wrote those lines in his Newsletters, because if you have any idea of style and writing quality, you'd know it wasn't written by this Medical Doctor, who had good grammatical skills, not like the poor quality of those racist remarks contained in the Newsletters.

Narcotics should be illegal because they are addictive. The user may make a choice out of ignorance or because of social surroundings or out of desperation, but the will of the user ceases to exist in the depths of addiction.

@Angryskeleton His point was current. In that they'll outlaw drugs, but they're drinking a drug that was once outlawed itself. It's about hypocrisy, but nitpick all you want.

@deadflagbluesxxx "But lo and behold the drug that inebriates most of the members of Congress has not been touched because they're up there drinking alcohol.”
That's just false, it has been touched, they just backed down on the prohibition. Not to mention that there are still laws today regulating the consumption of alcohol (it's not for people under 21, and you can't drink and drive).

@deadflagbluesxxx Ok, just forget about the regulation laws, this is not my point and if it were only for that I would not have bothered saying he was inexact. My point is: alcohol has been criminalized, it's just not anymore, what don't you understand?

Actually, it seems like he's been kissing RP's ass recently, ever since he's started doing well in the polls. Probably hopes RP gets the nomination, since his whackjob followers will scare more people into voting for Obama.
I DO agree that he's Al Gore's bitch though (I always skip those Current TV promos). It's funny that he claims to be agianst The One Percent, when Al Gorebot is about as elite as it gets.

@ProfessorxVile The last decade has seen the govt go from servant to master. It's actually normal to see it announce plans to abuse us by illegally violating our rights. Any govt that breaks the law is illegitimate. Today it's an organized crime syndicate that routinely defecates on the principles of freedom then points at it.
This corrupt govt lets a few criminal banks loot the US for years on end. Only propaganda slaves would reelect neocons and banks. Fear of Obama boost Ron.

@BestTechnoTrance Yes I know he made it sound like fact at the end of that video but he did point out in the beginning that it could be false. I know very well that Ron Paul is not a racist and Cenk was just being ignorant at that moment, it does not make him Al Gores bitch. They're not making good money, they're actually begging people to put their channel on cable networks, they are not even national.

@Sweetp000433 Cenk didn't sell out for NBC, but the TYT crew would be stable perspective. Now whole crew is involved, their BOSS is an influential politician with powerful connections; a politician who won his presidential campaign.
We chose him, not Bush. With irrefutable proof of that fact available at the time and a law suit in the works, he suddenly forfeits presidency, hands the USA to neocons & banks (death sentence); then 'earns' 300mil.

It just shows that the so-called "anti-racists" don`t care about "anti-racism" or the welfare of their Faithful Colored Companions.
All they care about is maintaining their white GENOCIDE agenda of mass immigration and "assimilation" only for white countries.
That`s why they`re attacking Ron Paul,he threatens their lucrative white genocide program.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

The war on drugs does affect minorities the most check the facts fool. Who do you think the cop searches when he pulls them over, a black man or white man, most likely the black. Who does the judge hand the longer sentences too? Yeah the minorities. Check the fucking facts. Ron Paul isn't saying only minorities do these drugs, he is saying the way the laws are designed is to fuck these people and its wrong. You wake up @sweetriverbanks1. Who you gonna vote for if not Ron Paul?

Funny how Paul's hero Reagan, was a big part in fueling the War on Drugs program created under Nixon, which gave it momentum to become the MONSTER it is today. He might as well make the mid-80s democratic congress his hero's to being they begun the horrible mandatory minimum sentencing madness.
I love Paul for his anti-war stance and going after lobbyists, he should be given a medal, but his roots and true core beliefs are just too conservative for me. His Reagan worshiping is a bit scary.

But even in that clip, Ron Paul generalized "blacks". He generalizes everyone except whites. As if white people dont use drugs. ANd Cenk, his comments were not clearly in favor of minorities. I heard a man that loves freedom more than he hates minorities, which is not a good thing.
sweetriverbanks1 2 months ago in playlist Uploaded videos
@sweetriverbanks1 - Maybe you didn't listen to the whole video. If you were trying to be honest, you would have acknowledged the fact that Ron Paul implied that whites who happen to hold the majority of political seats drink plenty of alcohol and no laws ever try to curtail alcohol use.

@spktruthinlove
Maybe you are missing the point. Anyone who generalizes any group of people has a problem. Period point blank. Its not just Mexicans and Blacks doing drugs while regular white people arent doing anything. Conversely, to accuse Congress of being all drunks doesnt carry the same weight because that statement does not indict all white people and furthermore, it plays on no stereotype.
Wake up my man and stop being a Ron Paul robot.

@sweetriverbanks1 The laws would discriminate on racial lines. For an example Crack which was more often bought by minorities or poor people would get longer prison sentences then if they had Cocaine. Some of these sentences would be equal to murdering someone if you where in possession of Crack and not Cocaine. Which in case you don't know Crack is a cheaper version of Cocaine.

I am well aware of all of this. My point was that the implicit racism Pauls statements in that clip does not mean he is incapable of writing the content in those racist newsletters. Not even close. IMHO, it only means that Paul despises the the nature of the war on drugs more than he does blacks or mexicans. That is the only thing that is proven from the provided clip IMO.
