How do we explain newsletter

http://www.ronpaul2008.co...

and go to CNN: see interview,

This has been covered.

Folks, Dr. Paul has been given a tremedous opportunity [thanks to The New Republic - CanWest - Asper family] via this whole issue of "racism" to broach a subject that no other candidate from either party will even touch...that being the "War on Drugs". See this great interview last night

http://www.live5news.com/...

How else would he have ever been able to get the issue on the table without sounding like a "raving radical". They threw him something they thought was a "game ending strike out" but instead he has taken it and "hit it out of the park". Now he can "encourage" discussion on "racism" in a way that no one else will even want to come close to...not even the media!

Count our blessings!!

Sorry for cross thread reposting, but I think I covered it pretty well here:

when I said,

" ... The only angle of accountability to Dr Paul over this whole thing was the fact that he wasn’t aware of the writings in a publication that had his name on it. Then again, this is consistent with how Dr Paul does things, look at the Revolution … it is completely decoupled from his campaign. He allows them to do their own thing in his name and yes, sometimes they do bad things with that power … but it is self regulating and issues rarely repeat themselves. As Dr Paul said in the debate about the 9/11 truthers , he doesn’t believe he has the power to dictate to people what they can and can not do. All he can do is be responsible for his own actions and hope that those that claim to care for him will not abuse their power.

This all comes down to Dr Paul showing that he practices what he preaches, which is more then I can say about any other delegate."

to me is this is only one mistake that we have learned about and the media is trying to kill him, but it's ok for Hilliary to keep breaking law after law and Rudi to cheat on his wife, etc.. We just give these people a pass and say oh well. I believe Dr. Paul is a good decent human being and he doesn't pretend to be perfect, but he does support and defend our Constitution and that to me is more important than any of these other things. I hope this just goes away or the person who wrote it has enough guts to come clean so we can move on.

Ron Paul did not answer my questions in that interview with Wolf. Since this has apparently come up often in Ron Paul's political career, he should have delt with it more thoroughly, so that when it eventually came up in this campaign he should have been able to easy answer the questions and left it as a non-issue. That didn't happen. It is not good enough for him to say "I didn't know" when his name was all over those newsletters. I don't believe Ron Paul made those statements; however as someone mentioned, there were many such statements over a long period of time. It is hard to believe that these statements would continue to go out with his name on them without him knowing or without anyone ever complaining.

My position is this. These newsletters were unprofessional. They had a small distribution. They were probably "published" with a copy machine. That is why they were so hard to find. No wonder Dr. Paul did not see them. But do not stay in a defensive mode. Go on the attack. This story was spread with the intent to paint Dr. Paul as a racist. His whole life has been spent fighting for individual liberty which is the opposite of racism. Then talk about Dr. Paul freeing the non violent prison population who have suffered and been enslaved ( working below minimum wage for corporations) by the "War on Drugs" that disproportionately targets inner city blacks. He is the only candidate making a stand against this injustice that labels a medical problem a criminal problem. He will end the laws designed to target minorities. How can he be a racist!

All you can do is what RP has already done. Take responsibility for being negligent in allowing this crap to go out under his name, vehemently disavow the ideas, explain how RP's ideas and voting record are totally contrary to those hateful ideas, and then dig deep for the MLK money day. And keep redirecting people to the important issues of the day - economy, global empire, etc.

I wonder the same thing. Was this an unofficial publication put out by his supporters (much like this website, for example)?

he was running for president at the time and hired an editor. Unfortunately the editor wrote this.He did not read the newsletter for a period of time because he was speaking, running for president and had a medical practice.

Anyone who has read Ron PAuls writings know this isn't him. It isn't even his style of writing.

Here is the youtube ... his answer starts at 3:07.

Wendy's reporting what both Dr. Paul and the news media won't. It's not exactly a profile in courage on this guy's part, but (if the suspicions are indeed true) it's a guy I've wrangled-with in the past. I wasn't impressed at the time, and now more than ever I think I may know why.

Look at Ron's Response to Wold Blitzer, it's pretty clear to me:

Everyone who knows Ron Paul knows this is NOT Ron Paul's views.

Honestly, if they have to go back 20 YEARS to find something on Ron Paul, then so be it. He's taken the blame for not keeping a better eye on all of that.
