A New Batch of Ron Paul Newsletters for Your Reading Horror
The New Republic unleashed a new selection of newsletters Tuesday allegedly penned by Republican candidate Ron Paul, and they are just as bad (or maybe worse!) than the first. The congressman recently said of the first batch that “only 8 to 10 sentences” contained “bad stuff.” Not true, but if it were, he’d have a hard time keeping to that estimate with this batch, in which entire paragraphs can be written off as verbal diarrhea of the most racist, sexist and otherwise close-minded variety. If there’s any question as to who authored the stuff, Paul could just come out and say so. As it stands, most are under the impression that either Paul, or his former chief of staff Lew Rockwell masquerading as Paul, is the author. Paul may want America to be free, but the “America” he is/was speaking of is very small, very white, and needs to see a psychiatrist.
Some “highlights” from the current crop:
A segment called “Race War?” from the June 1990 issue of Political Report warns that a race war might be imminent due to “the victimization mentality created by the civil rights movement, where every black failure is a white crime. If there is indeed this sort of trouble ahead, it is just another reason why every honest American should be armed.”
“Today, gangs of young blacks bust into a bank lobby firing rounds at the ceiling…We don’t think a child of 13 should be held as 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” — a riff on bank robberies from the September 1992 issue of Survival Report."
