CONFIRMED! Ron Paul is a racist
BY GREGOR

Not that it will matter to Ron Paul supporters, but it's now been confirmed that Ron Paul is a bigoted racist nutjob. Don't expect that he'll lose any votes over it. Instead of admitting their mistake, most Ron Paul supporters are blasting the story as another conspiracy driven political attack. Keep in mind, most are not denying that the story is true. They simply don't think it's relevant.

Via The New Republic:

Martin Luther King Jr. earned special ire from Paul's newsletters, which attacked the civil rights leader frequently, often to justify opposition to the federal holiday named after him. ("What an infamy Ronald Reagan approved it!" one newsletter complained in 1990. "We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day.") In the early 1990s, a newsletter attacked the "X-Rated Martin Luther King" as a "world-class philanderer who beat up his paramours," "seduced underage girls and boys," and "made a pass at" fellow civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy. One newsletter ridiculed black activists who wanted to rename New York City after King, suggesting that "Welfaria," "Zooville," "Rapetown," "Dirtburg," and "Lazyopolis" were better alternatives.

What do the PaulBots have to say about this? Is there embarrassment? Is there panic? Are they demanding that he withdraw?

Here's a few examples from Ron Paul loony tunes currently stinking up the atmosphere over at HotAir.com:

MadisonConservative on January 8, 2008 at 3:19 PM: Go ahead. Ron Paul may be a racist(this is the Beauchamp people, for God’s sake). So? Huckabee appears to care more about illegal Mexican immigrants than US citizens. Which is worse? A racist or a Mexican nationalist?

offroadaz on January 8, 2008 at 1:15 PM : meh, lots of talk with no proof. The guys just as bad as the conspiracy theorist he criticizes.

BlackCapitalist on January 8, 2008 at 1:18 PM: Time to take down Paul already? I thought he had no chance?

muyoso on January 8, 2008 at 1:44 PM: HAHA, listening to this crap, its such a mischaracterization. Calling “blacks animals”. No, he was calling the people who were rioting, animals. And the people who were rioting happened to be black. But I guess its ok to make the jump and just report that he said black people were animals.

muyoso on January 8, 2008 at 1:57 PM: When you focus on stupid crap like this, it makes you look juvenile.

DaveS on January 8, 2008 at 4:44 PM: There is some bad stuff in the excerpts, but 50-75% of them are simply un-PC.


There's absolutely nothing Ron Paul can do to discourage his supporters. Who's supporters do they remind you of?
