Libertarianism isn’t just about being anti-tax and pro-choice. (And libertarians do disagree on the latter.)

I am sick and tired of you outright fundamentally changing your story for convenience in attacking Ron Paul. First, you said that the newsletter was 80% written by Rockwell and then listed a number of other people who wrote it. Then, you said you wanted to “revise” your story and said that Paul actually wrote half of it, and that Rockwell wrote “80% of what was ghostwritten.” When you make such fundamental changes in your story that display a clear intent of yours to attack Ron Paul, it calls your credibility greatly into question.

Furthermore, you have been on record before as saying that you don’t think Paul is a bigot or, more specifically, an anti-semite. (I will gladly dig that up for you if you would like.) Now you are basically implying that Ron Paul is a raging bigot.

As far as stuff coming out about what has been in his books… dude. All of his books besides A Foreign Policy of Freedom are all online in PDF form on the Ron Paul Library website. They are there for the public to see. If there is a controversy involving this, it would have already happened in the blogosphere. Perhaps there is an explanation as to why his books haven’t entered this story, because if they did, this following quote from Freedom Under Siege would have gotten out:

“There are times when it seems like we get our system of values from television productions. Professional wrestling is one of the few programs which started on TV in the late 1940s and now claims more viewers than ever. There are no rules, and it is associated with contrived (but unreal) violence: mockery of the referee, racism, absence of sportsmanship, yelling, screaming, and hatred. Reasonable rules of decency are totally ignored. The shows get worse every year; belts, chains, and cages are now part of the acts. Twenty wrestlers are put into a ring without a referee and a free-for-all erupts — the more violent, the more the crowd cheers the ridiculous charade.”

Freedom Under Siege, btw, was published years before the controversial content in the newsletters.

You really are a piece of work.

Who gives a shit if Lew Rockwell wrote them? The point is: it wasn’t Ron Paul. There’s not a racist bone in his body, as the NAACP President, whom has known Dr Paul for 20 years, says.

If you’re so big on accountability, can you point to even one of the candidates from either party that should even share the same room as Dr Paul, in terms of being a man of integrity? Apart from Dennis Kucinich, and (maybe) Mike Gravel, the answer is clearly NO.

We should ALL support Dr Paul, before it’s too late for this country. You want your country back? Now’s your chance. Don’t blow it.

BECAUSE IT DOESN’T BLEEPING MATTER!

Whether Rockwell, Rothbard, or Ricky Ricardo wrote that stuff TEN YEARS AGO really doesn’t matter, because it is a freaking small potato in comparison to the big picture problems of NOW, which is the economy and the war. Next they’ll complain he mde a left turn without signalling while back in medical school or some other irrelvant nonsense. The only thing it serves to do is distract from the real issues, and that is the real problem with the whole thing, not who wrote it and whether or not Dr. Paul should expose them.

Sheesh! We have the forest on fire and you’re worried about one weed planted a decade ago in that forest? WHATEVER!

BTW, my anti-spam passwords below read “Service Communist” Hi Eric !

So, why is it that when white Gentiles discriminate they are given these comic book names like racist?

This may be old news to many of the militia members of the Libertarian party, but for those of us new to the Ron Paul story the past 6 months, this is a heartbreak.

Ron thinks guarding the name of a bigot or homophobe is more important thatn the 30mm he has taken from the public to be a serious candidate. He dishonors every minority who supported him with a dollar or a minute of time.

Ron deserves the same scrutiny as every other candidate, and the media has been soft on him. His story that he “has no idea” who wrote the letters is pathetic and lame. It breaks my heart.

Sad but True

When does the book come out?

I joined the libertarian movement in 1985 cause I was told that libertarians were essentially “Anti-Tax yet Pro-Choice”? Now you’re telling me that’s not true? Libertarian now means Pro-Tax and Anti-Choice?

I guess you’re a Huckabee supporter, ‘eh? He fits that bill.

Here’s a tidbit for you all: Heavy rumors that Ron Paul’s longtime Congressional Chief of Staff Tom Lizardo has just resigned. Uncofirmed, but nobody with the Paul camp is denying it. Seems Lizardo had it out with the Campaign staff over Lew Rockwell owning up to the comments.

eye openers for sure….

Leaving aside some of the more conspiratorial paranoia manifesting in this thread (On a payroll!!! You “bushite, you! — LOL!!!), I understand, at least empirically, why some of Ron Paul’s more ardent supporters are having a problem.

When people become this emotionally invested in a candidate, it’s tremendously difficult for them to change their views. It’s not unlike certain religious manifestations. Completely, blindly based on faith.

And while I agree with you totally about Ron Paul and his lying on this subject, I can relate to becoming emotionally invested in a candidate. I suspect many of us will find ourselves supporting — and defending — candidates strenuously and heatedly before this election is finished.

Rationality must be deliberately courted and actively maintained to avoid the trap into which some of the Paulites have fallen jumped, and there’s little point in trying to convince them of anything they don’t already believe.

Even if you had a video of Dr. Paul wearing a mini skirt & torturing puppies, I’d still vote for him before any of the other clowns because on the big time important issues, he’s quite simply the only sensible choice to help slow down the rotting of America.

And at least be fair & relative about Dr. Pauls scandals, so called.. use a scandal scale, perhaps the “Duke Cunningham scale”, compare Dr. Pauls alleged behavior to the rest of the DC mafia establishment. Compared to the Clinton & Bush clans, Dr. Pauls “scandals” are like comparing a firecracker to Hiroshima.
