The point he makes at the start is critical.

If someone were writing a newsletter (with a claimed circulation of hundreds of thousands) with *your* name in the title or byline for DECADES, wouldn't *you* pay a little attention if they were writing insanely racist/homophobic stuff?

1. "Harrumph - You can be sure I won't spend the night at his White House." - Jeff Gannon* (R)

* Jeff Gannon is the official George AWOL Bush White House male prostitute. The official Secret Service records show over 100 visits of Gannon to Bush's White House, with several apparent overnighters.

2. I'm sure he's lamenting the demise of the 3/5s compromise.

As a Constitutional originalist, he wants the original reading of the Constution: with slavery and exclusive male, freeholder sufferage in tact.

3. My god. That is some ugly stuff.

Every ignorant person who says they might vote for this guy should watch this video.

6. The # at the end of each Newsletter? 1-800-Ron-Paul (!)

This is nothing, you should've heard the show this morning. The clip above is heavily edited.

There was even MORE crazy comments about Jews and how Waco was a consipracy, as well as talk of militias, etc.

And yes, the subject line is true. They actually had a number at the end of each newsletter (and it was 1-800-RON-PAUL).

4. Ron Paul is crazy

I don't know why people don't get that.

5. Wow, that is horrible

I'm amazed that anyone would allow that to be published with their name on it. Surely this wasn't an official mailing from his congressional office? ?

7. That's a good question n/t

8. Amazingly this ugly streak is just now getting out there, it's ten light years long.

9. Do you mean

that you're surprised it's coming out now or that you're suspicious that's it coming out now in an election year?

[DuaneBidoux]

10. The guy has a readily researchable record of lunitic beliefs since forever.

Why people are suddenly supporting the guy amazes me. It just seems that it should have been so obvious from the beginning of his run...and the questions should have been out there from reporters from the beginning.

11. Did you see any of his apperances on TV today?

I'd be curious to see if this issue was addressed and how he responded (not that I'd vote for him either way but still).

[DuaneBidoux]

12. Didn't see but so far when I have seen him nobody as asked him any questions about his racism...

(well documented) and his other beliefs such as a conspiracy by the "Trilateral Commission" to take over all the governments and make a "one world government." The Trilateral stuff is just the tip of the iceberg however. In case you're not aware, the Trilateral Commission has been a favorite villain of the John Birch Society (Google it if you are unaware of these guys cause they are truly a unique breed of lune).

13. Huckabee is cut from the same cloth

I hope the Repubs nominate Huckabee just to have all of his crazy shit come out! I am sure that it is more bizarre than this!
