New Batch Of Ron Paul Newsletters Out

Brace yourself: The New Republic is out with another batch of Ron Paul newsletters – and these just may top the last ones. Here’s a sample:

Today, gangs of young blacks bust into a bank lobby firing rounds at the ceiling.” It also said that “We don’t think a child of 13 should be held as responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult, and should be treated as such.

1. A pimple on the ass of America.

[MineralMan]

2. F*** Ron Paul

and the horse he rode in on, too.

[Mr Dixon]

19. LOL

Agreed

[Enrique]

3. he was recently talking about racial inequities in the justice system

I'm shocked to discover that his concern might have been insincere.

[ProSense]

4. I'm sure. n/t

[BlueCaliDem]

5. That little man

needs to be exposed to the young Liberals and Progressives for the fake he is, and for them to finally understand, to support this wannabe Hitler is to condone his extreme views on race, gender, and white power.

[harmonicon]

9. ... but, like... um... legalize marijuana, dude!! nt.

[arcane1]

11. Such is the power of branding n/t

[BlueCaliDem]

33. And marketing.

I have to hand it to Paul. He knows how to market his brand.

[SemperEadem]

24. those boys will never believe anything negative about paul

no matter how much proof you lay at their feet--their minds are made up to live in an hysterical, fictitious, alternative universe when it comes to anything that touches their man-crush on the little man.

You will talk yourself hoarse before they will acquiesce to the truth... all they're after is an "atta boy" from paul for being true believers.

[BlueCaliDem]

32. You've had met quite a few of them, too, I see

and yes, that's exactly how they react. I'm astounded by their willingness to overlook documented facts to hold on tight to their fiction of the real Ron Paul.

[ChadwickHenryWard]

29. I was in an argument just yesterday

wherein it was objected that MLK and Rosa Parks are his two favorite people (I noted that he is opposed to the civil rights legislation that constitutes part of King's legacy.) I pointed out that he might, perhaps, have been lying or pandering when he said that. The other guy was shocked, shocked, I tell ya, that I could ever suggest such a thing.

It kind of became like the old joke: "How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving."

[asjr]

6. There are an awful lot of morons

out there who think the same as he does. It is truly frightening.

[SunsetDreams]

7. No Sereeusly!

[Saving Hawaii]

10. +1 nt

[ProSense]

12. LOL! n/t

[freshstart]

34. Good one!

[stockholmer]

8. good article on the newsletters (they probably were ghost-written by Lew Rockwell)

The Story Behind Ron Paul's Racist Newsletters

[Dokkie]

14. Paul and Rockwell both deny

writing the newsletter but somehow you believe Paul and not Rockwell, why is that? Anyway, I dont believe any of em wrote it and was instead written by James Powell. Here is the proof.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=f1dhyuZdY9c&annotation_id=annotation_334481&v=h6C-mU2dVy0&feature=iv

skip to 6:30 in the video to see it. But I suggest u watch the whole thing before going around accusing people of being racists especially when it wasn't called the Rockwell report.

[stockholmer]

25. Ahh, it was not me who said Rockwell probably wrote them, it was Reason Magazine, so take it up with

them. Thanks for the video though.

[SemperEadem]

26. despite who they were written by

paul pimped out his name to headline these newsletters. That is where the whole story stops.

paul gave so little regard to his own reputation and his "good name" that he didn't give a fuck who was using it to say whatever the hell they wanted about a particular segment of the US population? That's why he gets strident when this keeps coming back up to smack him upside the head--whipping off microphones during interviews cause he's maaaaad that he's got to answer for this yet again. Yeah... because letting someone use your name and then having no clue what it's being attached to FOR YEARS and now, NOW he's coming out saying "I didn't mean that..." Well, where was he the moment that mess hit the street all those years ago? Silent, that's where. Silence connotes agreement in this case. He did not come out in that moment and denounce them. So now, what's the point in closing the gate now that the horses have all gotten out?

That right there is a man with no common sense or good judgment and THAT does not belong anywhere near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

and paul is racist.

[ProSense]

35. Exactly, and

the denial and excuses never stop.

[trumad]

13. Getting harder and harder for the Paul Sycophants here on DU...

to enter your threads to crap in.

Ron Paul---Racist Douchebag.

[Broderick]

15. A real campaign ad for him (HAHA) that was posted here previously.

I laughed my ass off. Hats off to whoever posted it, cause I can't remember.

17. I helped a fuzzy dude cut a piece of fruit

and when he was chewing on it, I mushed it, and I called an ambulance.

I am a leprechaun farmer who is a gambler.

I will haunt your prostate.

[FarLeftFist]

16. DANGEROUS!

[SomethingFishy]

18. The guy has exactly 0 chance of being elected

0 chance.

He never stood a chance. He was never even close to having a chance.

I don't understand why people pretend he does, and then use that to try to divide people up into groups.

[ProSense]

20. Sure,

The guy has exactly 0 chance of being elected

0 chance.

He never stood a chance. He was never even close to having a chance.

I don't understand why people pretend he does, and then use that to try to divide people up into groups

...but neither does Gingrich.

To whom are you referring when you say calling out Paul is being used "to try to divide people up into groups"?

[Glimmer of Hope]

22. Hopefully this exposure will eliminate him from the national political scene. He is scum.

[reACTIONary]

21. Whether he is racist or not, he wants to do everything he can to help them out! (nt)

[Tarheel_Dem]

23. Just when I thought he couldn't be any more vile.........

[zentrum]

27. This is a faciscinating....

......window into the mind of a racist.

This incredible projection is what these righwingers see when they look at Obama too. It's just a blur of projectd fear to them.

He and his ilk are deeply insecure about their own worth, their manhood and all the rest of it.

How is this any different from how the Nazi's built up the "evilness" of Jews before WW2?

This continues to be an ugly deformity in the core of the country. We need to get them all out of Congress, out of runs for the Presidency. The country should be outraged and hound him from the podium. That the other Repukes on the stage don't call him out on this, makes them just as bad.

[MADem]

28. The hits just keep on coming, don't they? nt

[joshcryer]

30. So, does anyone else think racist, bigoted, assholes ideas desparately need to be heard?

If they have a few of good ideas we might like, if those ideas were completely twisted, misinterpreted, and basically molded into something we like?

I personally refuse to associate with racists in any way.

[Scurrilous]
