I used to think the Birchers were a little out there. Turns out they were spot-on the whole time.

Ron Paul is an anti-American appeaser.

@MrLibertyFighter In case you were angry about what I posted re: the facts about the Ron Paul newsletters was so to show what a good guy he is...That nearly 20 years ago he made one mistake. I was hoping people would take into account that he is well liked and has beneficial policies towards minorities for decades.

[MrLibertyFighter]

What's wrong with you America? Why are you not supporting this man with every ounce of your being, every extra penny you have, every extra moment you can afford??? WHY?! This man gives SO MUCH of himself to fix the problems...yet you blast him like he's the most unAmerican person in government...how FRICKEN hypocritical can you be? You deserve what's coming to you if you don't wake up NOW.

"the newsletter controversy only demonstrates that Paul exercised poor management over employees' statements in a relatively minor part of his career (he focused upon his medical practice during this time period), a managerial mistake he hasn't repeated in the 15 years since he returned to Congress.... No one in Washington is willing to call Paul a racist, and few have questioned his honesty on the newsletter issue"

[researchfiend]

"Paul supporters have reported that the phrases — which did appear in newsletters bearing Paul's name — had little connection with either the tone or substance of Paul's remarks on race — either in public and private — before, during, or since the newsletters were published."

"The controversy involves a genuine lapse in judgment by Congressman Paul, though one distorted and exaggerated by some of his establishment political opponents. Beginning in 1984 (as his first stint in Congress drew to a close) and continuing until his return to Congress in 1997, Dr. Paul started a series of newsletters and went back to his obstetrics practice"...

About the racism, I encountered this statement by the President of the Austin NAACP Nelson Linder: "Ron Paul is being smeared because he is a clear threat to the political establishment" "...Linder said he has personally known Paul for 20 years and heard him speak out against police oppression in minority communities, racial biases in mandatory drug sentencing, and favorably about late civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."
