    The Compassion of Dr. Ron Paul

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rv0Z5SNrF4"]The Compassion of Dr. Ron Paul - YouTube[/ame]

    This is a very touching story. Not only does this demonstrate that Dr Paul is a compassionate man, but it very effectively disproves the claims of racism.

    No racist man would have ever done this. Not one.

    This is now my default answer to everyone who claims he's a racist.

    He didn't write them.

    He didn't read them at the time.

    He disavows them.

    Those statements are not his beliefs.

    There is no record of Dr Paul ever saying anything racist.

    Does that clear it up? :)

    So he let somebody write newsletters under his pen name and didn't read them first before letting them be published? Do you think this shows him to be a intelligent guy? Intelligent enough to be President of the United States?

    If a man's only fault is that he let someone write under his newsletters and didn't read them all because he was practicing medicine at the time, saving lives, delivering over 4,000 babies, then yes. Better these newsletters than supporting TARP, individual mandates etc. I don't see it as a big issue.

    I agree it was not the best thing to do, but his defense is that he was no longer involved in politics. He was running a medical practice at the time.

    I agree that he should have been more involved, but I hardly think this DQs him.

    You have to understand the mindset and situation. Ron Paul was a part of a libertarian movement. He had a newsletter. He had some name recognition. He let others write for it and run the day to day operations of the newsletter in order to promote the cause of libertarianism while he was practicing medicine. These people occasionally used some material that was misguided in its strategy. Ron Paul was not actively a part of it and did not see them.

    It was twenty years ago. The man is fighting so that your children aren't given a police state 30 trillion dollars in debt with a dollar so weak it takes a thousand of them to buy a potato. Give the guy a break on the newsletters.
    It's an invented story.

    If he was playing doctor so much that he couldn't keep track of his own newsletter, maybe he shouldn't have a newsletter.

    I got an ideal! Why don't you give me your email name, your password, and a list of your contacts and let me just send out whatever I want to. I think that would be the intelligent thing for you to do.

    Out of thousands of newsletters there are only a few things that are being talked about.

    You don't seem very open to discuss this.

    This just sounds desperate and like you'll do anything to find a reason to hate and oppose a good and decent man.

    Mark my words: We have the Patriot Act, we have the National Defense Authorization Act, we have a crushing debt, we have a falling dollar. We cannot endure as a nation another horrible President. A time will come when you look back and wish you weren't such a vicious partisan and supported Ron Paul when you had the chance.

    Sorry, I am going to have to insist that my President be on top of things a little better. I would hate for one of President Paul's cabinet members make a non-agression treaty with Iran or North Korea without him knowing about it.

    Ok I know that anything the left says is a lie when they slap the whole racist card on someone who doesn't fit their narrowminded ideology...

    But where did all this "Ron Paul is a racist" bullcrap come from anyway? I'm only asking because the anti-Paul lefties harp on it so (*)(*)(*)(*) much.

    Enlighten me.

    A libertarian newsletter was in his name and ran for about 20 years and in that 20 years, through out thousands of letters, a about twenty sentences were cherry picked out that weren't politically correct (Imagine that, non politically correct at a time before political correctness). They range from calling MLK Jr. an adulterer, warning about big government, and saying the LA race riots ended when Blacks went home to get their welfare checks.

    It's an invented story being used by the establishment on both sides of the aisle to hold on to their corrupt death grip on power.

    ???: Dad, why aren't we free?

    Unionguy: Well, son, we could have been but I decided twenty year old newsletters that weren't politically correct were more important than freedom.

    Anyway, your analogy is absurd. This is like you running for President and me coming out to tell the nation that back in 1975 you forgot to pick me up at the airport and asking "Can we afford a President that can't even keep track of the time?" It doesn't surprise me you're union. Go harass voters with the Black Panthers and leave the business of restoring America to the rest of us.

    So it's a leftist fabrication followed up by obfuscation of an actual document that was later doctored up to appeal to a leftist agenda. Oh how accountable the left is these days...

    It's not just the left. The corrupt neo-con establishment is hammering on it just as much and probably worse with gross exaggerations of "white supremacism."

    That's cute but stop pretending like there was ever any possibility that you would be voting for anyone other than Obama in the next election.

    I mean, hey, so what that Obama bold face lied to you in '08 and has continued Bush's most egregious policies...at least it's your guy doing it, right?

    Sorry to disappoint you, but I think Obama is a fascist corporatist who is not liberal enough. I voted for the other black candidate in 2008, Cynthia McKinney.
