MSM at it again.
The big problem is Paul never completely disavowed this newsletter and didn't sue the out of whoever was supposed to be publishing it in his name.
I just find it funny they have to resort to bs like this to try to hurt his credibility. Last election I hardly remember him actually being in the running for the GOP nomination, which is a shame because he seems to represent the best ideas and stances of any republican I can recall in recent years. Hopefully it means this year he's got a good shot.
Racism is the crazy uncle in the basement. You don't want to get him too excited, but you do want him to vote for you. All politicians have to face this at some point, but it's typical of Republicans. RP is no exception.
I think it's fair to say RP had a rather liberal toleration for strong views expressed under his name, in his newsletter.

NAACP defends Ron Paul. /thread
Why did Paul never simply denounce the newsletter and sue the person who put it out?
Why should he?
To keep from being called a racist comes to mind.
Ron ed up.
Or he wanted to cater to racists. Whatever.
What makes you think that would work?
It has a better chance of working than doing absolutely nothing about it.
why does it have a better chance?
It's clear doing absolutely nothing was a colossal up.
Unless he is actually courting the racist vote. It's believable.
He answered the question. Do you support this views? "no"
that should be sufficient.
It's not.
Sorry.
And running away from an interview didn't really help either.
Glad to hear he said he disavowed it though.
so he is a racist to you?
He's always come across as less upset about the situation than I know I would have been; and these things are all about appearances.
Now he's getting pissy for the wrong reasons and it's all his fault for not doing enough about it 20 years ago.
well I can understand his being upset after the attacking he is receiving in the last few days.
again, so you think he is a racist?
He has no one to blame but himself.
I don't know. He certainly had the chance to largely dispel that characterization two decades ago. He did nothing. He ed up. Nobody's perfect -- but he made the bed he's now lying in and wetting.again, so you think he is a racist?
can't make up your mind huh? I suggest you do your own research and stop listening to the Main Stream Media. They never paint Paul in a good light because Main Stream Media is servant to the Coorporations.
I read up on this several years ago. It's Paul's fault I and others can't make up our minds about whether he is a racist or not.
He's not infallible. He ed up back then and he's ing up now.
And your conspiracy rant isn't going to help him either.
Paul saying he didn't write and doesn't approve the racist newsletters published as his, is certainly no problem for racist Repugs and tea baggers, but normal people see his backpeddling as dishonest, or at very least incompetent and sloppy for not (proof)reading "his own" newsletters.
Plus, there's that problem, even if it's Ayn Rand Paul's position, as an acorn falling close to papa's tree, with "libertarian-ly" not interfering with, allowing business owners to refuse business to/discriminate against anybody they don't like.
LOL So it was Obama's fault others believed he was a muslim from kenya?
nobody is.He's not infallible. He ed up back then and he's ing up now.
he seems to be doing rather wellAnd your conspiracy rant isn't going to help him either.
