I am more than a bit surprised to find so many supporters of Paul posting here. False Hope.

His name is right there under "policy leaders."
It doesn't say federal government, it says government period. Ron Paul is hooked up with the DeVoes, that is who runs that group and they want no public education.

They are all involved in Citizens United, Ron Paul too.

Peter Thiel is one of Ron Paul's associates, he is encouraging kids to not go to college.

I spelled her name wrong...it is DeVos. Here is a little more, Ron Paul is connected to these people, look at what they were pushing in education in the 80s including achievement tests.....NCLB.

You'll find a lot of inconsistencies in the people that Ron Paul associates with and what he says. He also has a guy named Doug Bandow on his campaign. Bandow, wrote op-eds to influence congress for Jack Abramoff's causes for cash from Abramoff.

I don't understand why Media Matters doesn't connect the dots.

Bandow is on Ron Paul's campaign:

I have found many of these types of things on Ron Paul including conflicting information about the Fed, the Contra Scandal, and his monetary policy buddy Lewis Lehrman that was an investor in George Bush's Arbusto Oil.....why the media doesn't get after him and put the pieces together I have no idea.

Ron Paul Made Millions from Racist Newsletter
by mistermix
It’s probably all stored as Kruggerands in his mattress, to guard against the Amero conversion (via SLT at OTB):Yet a subsequent report by Reason found that Ron Paul & Associates, the defunct company that published the newsletters and which counted Paul and his wife as officers, reported an income of nearly $1 million in 1993 alone. If this figure is reliable, Paul must have earned multiple millions of dollars over the two decades plus of the newsletters’ existence. It is incredible that he had less than an active interest in what was being printed as part of a subscription newsletter enterprise that earned him and his family millions of dollars. Ed Crane, the president of the Cato Institute, said Paul told him that “his best source of congressional campaign donations was the mailing list for the Spotlight, the conspiracy-mongering, anti-Semitic tabloid run by the Holocaust denier Willis Carto.”
Both ED Kain and he-who-shall-not-be-named have endorsed Paul for President as a protest vote. Since I’m not a serious thinker, I’m free of the weighty obligation to endorse someone in the GOP primary. But for those serious folks, I have a simple question: how could you endorse a guy who published and profited from a newsletter that included AIDS conspiracy theories and called Martin Luther King Day “Hate Whitey Day”?
I Got Killed Trying to Slay a Dragon for Ron Paul
We took a stroll over to Ron Paul Forums today — an Internet war room for Paul cultists, not to be confused with Ron Paul War Room — to see how they were doing, after their five years of uninterrupted, thankless organizing for Paul that finally brought him to the top of presidential polls was threatening to come completely undone over the story of his racist newsletters.
The inevitable mass suicide ritual doesn't appear to have gone down yet. They're keeping busy. They've already conclusively determined that CNN's Gloria Borger is an agent for the military-industrial complex, for example. But the best thing we found was a link to this game, in which you can Slay a Dragon for Ron Paul.
It is a game called Dungeoneers. Perhaps you've played it. Perhaps you're playing it right now! Here's the deal: The "Chief Dungeoneer" at this site has offered to donate $5 to this other Paulite organization, one that specializes in mailing something called "The Ron Paul Super Brochure" to voting households, if you slay a dragon in Dungeoneers.
Sure, why not. Now where's this dragon so I can kill the shit out of it?
First I had to choose a name, which was not difficult. "A White Dragon is raiding your village," it warned. Good. Bring it, cracker. "Will you defeat the dragon menace?" Well I didn't come all this way just to look at the scenery, did I?
Truth be told, the scenery was quite lovely. My first goal was to get to the mines, over by that "TO THE MINES" sign. But to get there I had to step on some hexagons with treasure chests and snakes and nasty potholes, killing anything that moved.
I had clue what the hell I was doing, at all. You click one hexagon and maybe a big snake moves to another hexagon and you click on another hexagon and get treasure and then click on other hexagons. You just click on hexagons for a while. Somehow this got me to the mines. How hard could the mines be?
So yeah... the mines didn't go so well. There were giant frogs and flying monsters on the hexagons in the mines. They moved to my hexagon and attacked and killed me before I could move to a safe hexagon. "The dragon menace remains," the death screen said, rubbing it in. "Please try again. The villagers are begging you." Oh yeah? How about this: No, and I hope the villagers all die. Especially the children.
Well, I tried to help, but the dragon won. And now Ron Paul will suffer a similar fate, but in politics.
Bombshell! Ron Paul's Racist Newsletters
Exposed. Proof of Ron Paul's racism and lies. Considering how anti-Jewish he is, this is hardly surprising, but it is unrecoverable. He is done.
If you noticed in the photo images of the Ron Paul Newsletters over at Conservatives News you will see that one of the images clearly shows Ron Paul listed as "editor."
Now move on to this link provided in the story...a link that takes one to a Ron Paul interview
with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on the newsletters. At 2:45 into the interview Blitzer asks about "how did this stuff" (various racist nonsense) get into the newsletter. "Who wrote it?"
To which Ron Paul responds:
"I have no idea. Have you ever heard of a publisher of a magazine not knowing every single thing ....The editor is responsible for the daily activity."
And who is listed in the pictured newsletter as the editor?
That's right: Ron Paul.
Big problem - and growing. (American Spectator) hat tip Doc Washburn
Weekly Standard opines, "While Paul’s views on Israel certainly place him outside the American, never mind Republican, mainstream, there is an even more elementary reason the RJC was right to exclude him from its event. It is Paul’s lucrative and decades-long promotion of bigotry and conspiracy theories, for which he has yet to account fully, and his continuing espousal of extremist views, that should make him unwelcome at any respectable forum, not only those hosted by Jewish organizations."
Who Wrote The Ron Paul Newsletters? Ron Paul Wrote Them – Clear Proof Conservative News (hat tip Fern)
People wonder who wrote the Ron Paul newsletters.
First, if you’re new to this topic, it’s important because for around two decades, he had newsletters written that contained much racist content. He financially profited off of the newsletters. You can read about it more in depth here .
The purpose of this entry is to answer a simple question.
Who wrote the Ron Paul newsletters?
In a 1996 interview with the Dallas Morning News, Ron Paul was asked about his newsletters. In that interview he defended them. You can read a copy of the interview here. You can purchase a hard copy of that interview here.
In the interview, he did not deny he made the statement about the swiftness of black men.
“If you try to catch someone that has stolen a purse from you, there is no chance to catch them,” Dr. Paul said.
He also said the comment about black men in the nation’s capital was made while writing about a 1992 study produced by the National Center on Incarceration and Alternatives, a criminal justice think tank based in Virginia.
Citing statistics from the study, Dr. Paul then concluded in his column: `Given the inef! ficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.”
“These aren’t my figures,” Dr. Paul said Tuesday. “That is the assumption you can gather from” the report
From this interview we gather Ron Paul knew about the content, defended the content and wrote the content.
Before we look at internal evidence, here’s a brief sample of his offensive sayings.
”"We don’t think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such.
“Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions,”
“I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal,”
“we are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational.”
Source (As if the Paulbots care. But hey.)
Let’s look at some internal evidence.
From the above picture we see the newsletter clearly implies it’s written in his name. The arrow points to a sentence that is said in the first person. This would indicate it is Ron Paul writing and not someone else.
The above picture has another first person reference. Indicating it’s not another author.
The above includes his signature. Once again indicating he’s doing the writing.
I have a simple question: how could you endorse a guy who published and profited from a newsletter that included AIDS conspiracy theories and called Martin Luther King Day “Hate Whitey Day”?
