CNN bringing up Racist Ron Paul rumors again

[Parker2112]

I try not to be a grammar stickler, but calling someone a dumbass is one of those times when you REALLY want to make sure you have the proper usage of "you're".

Im free to do both. your free to point it out. Im free to do it again.

[Parker2112]

Actually... I don't want to "get it". I'm happy being a sheeple. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

As with most politicians, their supporters do as much or more damage to their campaigns than anything they actually say or do (Herman Cain being a notable exception).

your line of thought implies that a candidate isnt worth voting for if supporters dont do the candidate justice in their advocacy.

when the candidacy is about ideas, I would say you need to inform yourself and vote your conscience, rather than let your personal tastes for a candidate's base sway you to less appropriate candidates.

Just my advice.

[Parker2112]

scott, your a sport anyway.

I'm concerned about the ideas expressed in the Ron Paul newsletter.

[Blake]

Because you dont understand the libertarian principles. Which hold that the biggot has a right, as an American, to run his lunch counter the way he wants. And no one, no matter how well-armed with principles, morals, logic, love, hate, or otherwise, has a right to infringe on the individual.

Its the philosophy of liberty.

O' el caught Paul off guard and kept him off balance. That simple. Ambush.

so to be clear, you would do away with the CRA of 64?

[Blake]

Im free to do both. your free to point it out. Im free to do it again.

your a dumbass

[Parker2112]

I'm concerned about the ideas expressed in the Ron Paul newsletter.

So, to be more specific, you are concerned that the views expressed in the letter are shared by RP, even though there is no recorded instance of him ever authoring/speaking anything denigrating minorities over his thirty years of public service, all the while conducting himself in the public eye?

So, your implying that his 30 years of conduct was a flawless false front and he successfully hid his true feelings about minorities and blacks in his tens of thousands of speaking engagements on the record? That his voting for MLK Day as a national holiday was also a false front?

That we should not believe his public rebuttal (linked above), lack of any recorded evidence actually attributable to RP himself (his words, his mouth, his pen) notwithstanding?

That we should throw out the voice of the leader of Austin's NAACP Chapter in support of Paul (linked above)?

Well, I guess your free to believe what you want.

[Parker2112]

so to be clear, you would do away with the CRA of 64?

I wouldnt. But it doesnt help race relations or further freedom in the USA.

Fuggin schooled, chump.

So who wrote it? There were only about 10 people working for the foundation at the time.

So, your implying that his 30 years of conduct was a flawless false front and he successfully hid his true feelings about minorities and blacks in his tens of thousands of speaking engagements on the record? That his voting for MLK Day as a national holiday was also a false front?

It certainly wasn't flawless if he published a racist newsletter under his name.

That we should not believe his public rebuttal (linked above), lack of any recorded evidence actually attributable to RP himself (his words, his mouth, his pen) notwithstanding?

His newsletter. His endorsement on the checks.

That we should throw out the voice of the leader of Austin's NAACP Chapter in support of Paul (linked above)?

Has nothing to do with this.

Well, I guess your free to believe what you want.

I believe he has been and continues to be evasive about this rather distasteful chapter of his life. At best he was unapologetically pandering to racists for money. At worst he believes everything in his newsletter that bears his name. Neither is very attractive for a presidential candidate.

[ChumpDumper]

Fuggin schooled, chump.

lol reassuring yourself.

[Blake]

That his voting for MLK Day as a national holiday was also a false front?

you never answered DMX7:

What is this?

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h1983-289

House Vote #289 (Aug 2, 1983)
TO SUSPEND THE RULES AND PASS H.R. 3706, A BILL AMENDING LE 5, UNITED STATES CODE TO MAKE THE BIRTHDAY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., A LEGAL PUBLIC HOLIDAY. (MOTION PASSED;2/3 REQUIRED)

Nay TX-22 Paul, Ronald [R]

[Blake]

I wouldnt. But it doesnt help race relations or further freedom in the USA.

So to clarify further, you are not a true Libertarian by your own standards.

[DMX7]

That some of the newsletters were published in THE FIRST PERSON is about as guilty as you can get. Then we're supposed to believe he didn't read them, doesn't know who wrote them, was just kidding when he stood by them to the Dallas Morning News and can't find the mysterious editor?

Wrong. At best Lew Rockwell pandered to extremists, and RP had nothing to do with it, and is too loyal to throw his friend under the bus. And that isnt that damn bad for a presidential candidate.

[Parker2112]

That can also be read as stfu or cabda.

Seriously, if he can't run foundation with a dozen people working for him, I have serious doubts about his ability to run a nation of 300 million people.

[Parker2112]

The trophy is my reassurance to you that, regardless what your mama said, you aint always a winner.

How do you know it was Lew Rockwell?

If it was Rockwell, why is he still Paul's buddy?

Did he give the money back?

Grass roots is a funny thing, in that everything isnt micromanaged. Unconventional politics, ill admit.

That's one of the dumber things you've posted, I'll admit.

Thats the word that came out when this first hit the press in 89. Ill get a link, but not tonight.

[DMX7]

The trophy is my reassurance to you that, regardless what your mama said, you aint always a winner.

That you're posting trophies and ignoring facts is my reassurance that you're a loser.

[Parker2112]

That's one of the dumber things you've posted, I'll admit.

Have you any idea how many pubs/blogs/pages carry RP name and likeness, but views of supporters plastered all over? Thays how he took the lead in Iowa and NH. Its grass roots baby.

[ChumpDumper]

Thats the word that came out when this first hit the press in 89. Ill get a link, but not tonight.

So he just let some dude write racist diatribes under his name for several years.

That's what you want us to take away from this.
