Austin NAACP President Nelson Linder, who has known Ron Paul for 20 years, unequivocally dismissed charges that the Congressman was a racist in light of recent smear attempts, and said the reason for him being attacked was that he was a threat to the establishment.

btw, people should actually WATCH the CNN interview before thinking/speaking.

[shanklinmike]

His message is right! He truly defends the constitution and no newsletters will stop the American people for protecting individual liberty and peace!

the rating says it all

I was willing to give Paul the benefit on doubt on this one, even though I suspected him of bigotry by the things he says. Anyone that grew up in Jim Crow south days, knows that African/Americans did not have the same opportunities as whites, which he keeps implying in his speeches. Seeing his Storm Front supporters convinced me he is two-faced.

detective slime : We all know your a cop and trying to work the races against each other. Your hate will consume YOU  in hell

Ron Paul knows the truth. Hitler was right, Martin Luther King was wrong. Ron Paul for Fuhrer!

[mikecrouch1]

Ha, this horrible try was just plain dumb! We all know the anchor is the racist. Ron Paul the African Americans support you! I will vote for you.

Ron Pauls district in Texas has a very large percentage of blacks & hispanics who have consistantly elected him back into Congress. Back in the mid 90's when another politician tried to use the newsletters against Paul when he was running against him. Didn't work (Paul won in a landslide) and it won't work now.

Real easy to make sweeping accusations. Spend a few days & read Dr. Pauls writings over the last 30 years. He didn't write them. Freedom, Prosperity & PEACE!

its all so transparent. holding onto a clod of dirt and tryin to make believe its gold. the store aint gonna make believe with you that thats gold you're holding.

Since the end of major military operations, unsigned editorials, WHILE CRITICAL of the HANDLING of the war, have continued to JUSTIFY the INVASION.

And they ARE INDEED a neo-con publication with a history of credibility issues.
