Research stuff before you assume it is true.

Thank you.

Re: Racist Ron Paul
Also,

SS it is quite interesting that you took up for Obama when he had racist accusations brought against him but you were the first one to jump on this about Ron Paul.

Hmm....interesting indeed.

Re: Racist Ron Paul
Whether he said it or not he is generally looked at as kind of out there... and by not running as one of the major 2 parties I don't see him having a chance. The only person I think really had a shot at anything that didn't run that way was Perot, but he shot himself in the foot

Re: Racist Ron Paul
Yeah I've just done some research and Paul is claiming that the words were written by someone in his newsletter staff and not him. Not sure if I buy his explanation but here's more detail.

Ron Paul: Racist Anti-Semite
By Rob on May 20, 2007 at 08:00 pm

I’m about as politically incorrect as they come. Facts are facts, and I’ll talk about them no matter who it ticks off, but saying that 95% of black men are criminals (not to mention talking about Jewish “Zionist” conspiracies) is just plain B.S.:

Paul reported on gang crime in Los Angeles and commented, “If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be.”

“Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,’ I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal,” Paul said.

Paul also wrote that although “we are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.”

Stating that lobbying groups who seek special favors and handouts are evil, Paul wrote, “By far the most powerful lobby in Washington of the bad sort is the Israeli government” and that the goal of the Zionist movement is to stifle criticism.

I’ve never been a Ron Paul fan, mostly because of his ideas for foreign policies, but this is the first I’ve heard of these comments, and I find them reprehensible.

Do blacks commit crimes out of proportion to their population demographic? That’s true. But saying that ninety-five percent of them are partly or entirely criminals?

Give me a break.

Rep. Paul is trying to say that the words above weren’t written by him (but rather someone else helping him with his newsletter), but c’mon. Let’s be serious. If they appeared in his newsletter attributed to him then he’s responsible.

An apology, not an excuse, is what’s needed.

They all have at some point.

I am sure we have all flip flopped on issues as well though, we are all human.

Sometimes people get more educated on issues, and change their minds.
