		<description>First off, Ron can say whatever he wants.   This is all about the First Amendment.  Let&#039;s not follow the gov&#039;t down the path of censorship.  After all, censorship is becoming America&#039;s favorite past-time.  The US gov&#039;t (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books like &quot;America Deceived&quot;  from Amazon and Wikipedia, shut down Imus and fire 21-year tenured, BYU physics professor Steven Jones because he proved explosives, thermite in particular, took down the WTC buildings. Free Speech forever, you decide based on his entire record if he&#039;s racist.

		<description>I can&#039;t believe this is being presented as a serious question. Paul is not Robert Byrd or Strom T., who said they are done with that past. Paul doesn&#039;t even have that past. He has taken the government to task for furthering racism. Defend freedom, vote Ron Paul.</description>

		<description>What to do?  Get it all out in the open.  Publish the complete article; let everyone read it for themselves.  The truth will set us all free from this speculation!   And then while we&#039;re at it, let&#039;s put ALL the candidates under that SAME MICROSCOPE and give them all a looksee.  I&#039;m willing to stand behind Dr. Paul for this examination because I know he&#039;ll be exonerated.  So bring it on.  And bring it on the OTHERS as well.  Fair and unbiased... let&#039;s go.  (the publicity will only help Dr. Paul&#039;s campaign... I say:  bring it on!  :-D  )</description>

		<description>He said it best when asked about the &quot;don&#039;t ask, don&#039;t tell&quot; policy in the military. He said that people shouldn&#039;t BE categorized. It&#039;s a divisive thing that pits one group against another. Everybody should be treated as people. Not blacks or whites or latinos or gays or any other category at all. By eliminating the devisiveness of categorizations in government policy you eliminate pitting folks against one another. 

Dr. Paul has been absolutely consistent in his positions on every topic for the past 20 years he&#039;s been in office. Given that, where are all of the other examples of his &quot;racism&quot; in the 10 years since this incident? This is a complete nonissue and once he has explained it once, he should offer the same explanation each time it&#039;s brought up, along with pointing out the muckraking and mudslinging tendencies of whoever brings it up.</description>

		<description>I happen to think there are many more pressing problems, such as an economic collapse facing us than to worry about some comment about racism.  My mother still has her ration stamps from the great depression.  Here we are headed for THAT again.  Better think about what you want.  Do you want to keep your liberty and freedom?  or do you want to go through history again?  Racism will be a far bigger problem than it is now.

DR. Ron Paul (that is DOCTOR) is a medical doctor.  He is no more a racist than the pope.  Is the pope a racist?  Ron Paul treasures life even in the unborn.  That means ALL life.   Ever hear of DOCTOR Ron Paul turning down a woman who was black (or any other race) about to have a baby that he wouldn&#039;t help her because of her race?  His own hometown people revere him a wonderful physician.  This includes ALL races.  Not just white people.  Use your common sense.  Our country is on the verge of collapse. Your about to get a national ID card and we have no Health care.  Dr. Paul will bring us FREE health care.  Makes the racist thing look a bit small to me.  Is the army only white people?  Did Ron Paul NOT vote against the war?  He said, if this war had not happened we would have 3,600 soldiers alive today, (this means ALL OF THEM) and many more who would not be injured.  The war is unconstitutional which is why he voted against it, but he is all inclusive when he speaks on issues.  He is trying to protect Americans.  This is not divisive.   He is not trying to protect White americans or black or other races based on their race alone.  He is trying to put the country back on an even level.  Ron Paul has now taken world recognition.  Even they like him.  That is a pretty huge mark for a candidate to make.  This is OUR revolution.  Don&#039;t miss it.  We need Ron Paul in the worst way.  Our government is not a constitutional government. Look how far down they have taken our country.  Then look at the light which God has sent to us.  Vote for Ron Paul.</description>

		<description>Welfare is slavery to the government.  Ron Paul is the only Republican willing to talk about the poor.  He does not exclude anyone from his message of freedom. 

This disproves these accusations for me.  If you ever heard him talk, you&#039;d know he&#039;s no racist.  He has many of the same goals the liberals do - he only believes it can be better achieved a different way.</description>

		<description>Yup, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXkVJtz0bNI&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;three or four dudes in a gun shop and two or three people in a pharmacy.&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;New Centrist&lt;/a&gt; seems to have nailed it down there.

Ron Paul&#039;s decades of consistent adherence to the principles of liberty and constitutional restraint are to just a flimsy cover for a lurking racist loon.

Tell me, what is so frightening about a call to obey the constitution and favor liberty over excess federal control.  What do his opponents actually favor?

&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad-hominem&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ad-hominem&lt;/a&gt; hit and run attacks are meaningless.  If you want to be taken seriously, offer alternative positions to Ron Paulâ€™s.</description>

		<description>Justin,

Ron Paul&#039;s only concern is the misconstruing of ghost-written statements that are inflammatory if read out of context.  The fact is that a disproportionate sector of the black male populous in Washington D.C. were creating high levels of crime in the 80s.  To the city&#039;s credit, the crime rates have decreased in number over the past 20 years.  The reasoning of high crime in the inner city is birthed out of the nanny state, to which Mr. Paul espouses as being a problem and not a solution.  It is also no surprise that Israel has a powerful lobby that has undoubtedly contributed to poor decisions made by our foreign policymakers in favor of Israel.  He also argues the same for &#039;big oil&#039;.  His support of Israel&#039;s attack on Osirak stands on its own as basing his policy on principles.  Release of his letters would only lead to nitpicking of language that does not tell the whole story.  He is ready to answer any question honestly, of which the text of past newsletters cannot.</description>

		<description>Hello New Centrist,

I am back home.  On Leave.  And I wear my tinfoil hat with pride, thank you very much. It fit&#039;s nicely under my kevlar.  

Perhaps you should peek out from under the reality that Faux News has spoonfed you and notice all of the RP signs.   

Two pimply teenagers in a basement did&#039;nt nail those up.

Perhaps you might question the validity of the &quot;scientific polls&quot;.  RP is in the top of most of the straw polls.

Who is generating ANY wide spread excitement this election?  

Sure aint Hillary.  Nor Obama.  Hell.... Romney can&#039;t pay people to be excited about him.  Guiliana..... please..... all&#039;s we have to do is ask the NYPD or NYFD how he is.  Ghouliani is damaged goods.  

So who does that leave?  Thompson?  HAAA.  

Wanna dredge up old bones Justin?  How about Thompson&#039;s collusion during the Watergate scandal?  No... Thompson&#039;s got too many skeletons not buried deeply enough.

The only candidate out there that has any prayer of winning on the GOP side is Dr. Paul.

Besides,  there is a very large block of voters who are sick and tired of the &quot;lesser of two evils&quot; choice.  We are disgusted with politicians who promise one thing and deliver another.

So why not vote your conscience?  I am.  Everybody I know is.  If you loose then at least you can sleep well at night.

Sincerely</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello New Centrist,</p>
<p>I am back home.  On Leave.  And I wear my tinfoil hat with pride, thank you very much. It fit&#8217;s nicely under my kevlar.  </p>
<p>Perhaps you should peek out from under the reality that Faux News has spoonfed you and notice all of the RP signs.   </p>
<p>Two pimply teenagers in a basement did&#8217;nt nail those up.</p>
<p>Perhaps you might question the validity of the &#8220;scientific polls&#8221;.  RP is in the top of most of the straw polls.</p>
<p>Who is generating ANY wide spread excitement this election?  </p>
<p>Sure aint Hillary.  Nor Obama.  Hell&#8230;. Romney can&#8217;t pay people to be excited about him.  Guiliana&#8230;.. please&#8230;.. all&#8217;s we have to do is ask the NYPD or NYFD how he is.  Ghouliani is damaged goods.  </p>
<p>So who does that leave?  Thompson?  HAAA.  </p>
<p>Wanna dredge up old bones Justin?  How about Thompson&#8217;s collusion during the Watergate scandal?  No&#8230; Thompson&#8217;s got too many skeletons not buried deeply enough.</p>

		<description>Paul may have a lot of support on the Internet among twoofers and other tinfoilistas but virtual reality is not the same thing as political reality. 

Lost_in_samoa:
If you were back home, you&#039;d see the astounding scope (*cough*) of Paul&#039;s support. I saw it on C-SPAN last night. Three or four dudes in a gun shop and two or three people in a pharmacy. Rudy and Hillary must be worried.

Check it out, Paul will not only receive less of the popular vote than Ross Perot, he will receive less than Nader. I may be wrong, but I doubt it.</description>

		<description>Hi Justin,

&quot;Again, your opponents will be able to bury your campaign with this issue alone.   Take heed.&quot;

Why should we the public give this credence.  Because a smarmy wannabe opinion maker like yourself tells us so?  I mean really, the only thing you offer us is insight into a well oiled highly corrupt machine.

The same machine that ignores the current president&#039;s obvious blunders, mistakes, and malfeasance.  This very same machine ignored Clinton and his various boondoggles.  Remember Monica?  This machine covered up the Bush 41 disasters.  This machine gave us fauxtograpy, spin, and propaganda so insipid that it is sickening to behold.

Why should we believe anything the established media outlets tell us about any candidate?  It&#039;s not like CNN/FOX/ABC/NBC/CBS/TNN have an unblemished history of accuracy.  Is it?

The point is this.  This is a non issue with Ron Paul supporters.  It is a non issue with most of the voting public.  If we the people can forgive a president getting a blow job in the hallowed halls of our nations capitol, we can forgive Dr. Paul for having a loose cannon for an employee, 15 years ago.

Your insistence that this is a smoking gun only shows that you, and most of the well oiled money news machine are not up with the times.  If you were you would know that this is the cusp of a revolution in the most original sense of the word.  The very fact of the number of responses to your little blog stand as a testament to this truth.

We no longer believe you, subsequently we are no longer listening to you.  Our presence here today is an effort to be polite only.  

Our recruitment takes place in venues that are not open to you.  Walmart, the mall, yard sales, street corners, bakeries,  everywhere.  We gain supporters every day.  Our growth rate is geometric.

Make no mistake of our purpose.  We are going to take back our Republic from the backroom dealmakers that have ruined our fine nation and bankrupted generations of our citizens. 

The level of disgust with the sitting government, be it Republican or Democrat, is at an all time high.  Every indicator points to this.  And it is no coincidence that we have Dr. Paul to rally behind.   Enough is enough.

The great unwashed, (and pissed off), masses are just beginning the process of throwing all of you corrupt, arrogant, self important, self serving, &quot;farging bastiches&quot; out the door.  We are gonna give all of you the bum&#039;s rush.


So as we say in Iraq,  INCOMMING!!!

Sincerely

		<description>Yes, pull out the racism card. From what I understand Paul didn&#039;t even write this alleged article. How many examples do you think we can pull up of any other candidate who may at one time been affiliated with one random person who uttered what could be construed as a racist remark? Drop it. Get over it. And show me some REAL DIRT on Mr. Ron Paul. The media hasn&#039;t been able to come up with anything, and we all know they would if they could. So I sincerely doubt you can find anything at all that can blemish this principled man. 

Join the fight for our freedom.
