While doing my daily research I ran across the best source of documentation of Ron Paul\u2019s unsavory beliefs and positions I have seen, supporting each claim with a link to a PDF scanned from one of Paul\u2019s infamous newsletters.  Furthermore, it covers far more that just Paul\u2019s racism.  Combining this information with the videos shown below make it clear that either Ron Paul is lying, or Ron Paul is lying with his conflicting attempts to cover this up.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"24PaulMassa\"For years, Ron Paul published a series of newsletters that dispensed political news and investment advice, but also routinely indulged in bigotry. Here’s a selection of some especially inflammatory passages, with links to scanned images of the original documents in which they appeared.<\/p>\n

Race<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA Special Issue on Racial Terrorism<\/a>\u201d analyzes the Los Angeles riots of 1992: \u201cOrder<\/a> was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began. … What if the checks had never arrived? No doubt<\/a> the blacks would have fully privatized the welfare state through continued looting. But they were paid off and the violence subsided.\u201d<\/p>\n

The November 1990 issue of the Political Report had kind words<\/a> for David Duke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This December 1990<\/a> newsletter describes Martin Luther King Jr. as \u201ca world-class adulterer\u201d who \u201cseduced underage girls and boys\u201d and \u201creplaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration.\u201d<\/p>\n

A February 1991<\/a> newsletter attacks \u201cThe X-Rated Martin Luther King.\u201d<\/p>\n

An October 1990<\/a> edition of the Political Report ridicules black activists, led by Al Sharpton, for demonstrating at the Statue of Liberty in favor of renaming New York City after Martin Luther King. The newsletter suggests that  \u201cWelfaria,\u201d  \u201cZooville,\u201d \u201cRapetown,\u201d \u201cDirtburg,\u201dand \u201cLazyopolis \u201d would be better alternatives\u2014and says,  \u201cNext time, hold that demonstration at a food stamp bureau or a crack house.\u201d<\/p>\n

A May 1990<\/a> issue of the Ron Paul Political Report cites Jared Taylor, who six months later would go onto found the eugenicist and white supremacist periodical American Renaissance. <\/p>\n

The January 1993<\/a> issue of the Survival Report worries about America\u2019s \u201cdisappearing white majority.\u201d<\/p>\n

The July 1992<\/a> Ron Paul Political Report declares, \u201cJury verdicts, basketball games, and even music are enough to set off black rage, it seems,\u201d and defends David Duke. The author of the newsletter\u2014presumably Paul\u2014writes, \u201cMy youngest son is starting his fourth year in medical school. He tells me there would be no way to persuade his fellow students of the case for economic liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n

A March 1993<\/a> Survival Report describes Bill Clinton\u2019s supposedly \u201cillegitimate children, black and white: \u2018woods colts\u2019 in backwoods slang.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Inserted from <The National Review<\/a>><\/p>\n

TNR goes on to cover Paul’s newsletter references to gays, survivalism and militias, conspiracies, the Middle East, anti-government paranoia, Jews, Pat Buchanan, and the authorship of the newsletter, so I urge you to click through and read the rest of it.  You will be shocked!<\/font><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the final proof.  Paul\u2019s most recent defense is that he did not write the articles and did not even know they existed, until ten years later.  Note that all the references above were written between 1990 and 1993.  But Rachel documented that Paul was defending the content of these articles to a Dallas newspaper in 1995.  Since 1995 was well within the ten year timeframe, Paul could not have defended the content at that time, if he didn\u2019t know the articles existed, as he now claims.  Ron Paul is lying.  He is not fit to be dog catcher, let alone President of the United States.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
