CNN says Ron Paul is racist, homophobic


www.cnn.com
series of newsletters in the name of GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul contain several racist remarks -- including one that says order was restored to Los Angeles after the 1992 riots when blacks went "to pick up their welfare checks."
CNN recently obtained the newsletters -- written in the 1990s and one from the late 1980s -- after a report was published about their existence in The New Republic.

None of the newsletters CNN found says who wrote them, but each was published under Paul's name between his stints as a U.S. congressman from Texas.

Paul told CNN's "The Situation Room" Thursday that he didn't write any of the offensive articles and has "no idea" who did.

They covered it on TV and gave him a chance to respond:

Ron Paul's Shocking Statements On CNN (Pt.1of2)1-10-08


Ron Paul's Shocking Statements On CNN (PT.2) 1-10-08


I’m glad Wolf Blitzer gave him a chance to respond, this is really getting old and so obviously against what he talks about, writes about and votes about to anyone who does their research.

I'd give you a WATS if it were still possible.

I've likewise done my homework and they have nothing substantial. "Grasping at straws," as the saying goes, to discredit a very real threat to their system.

How utterly predictable and sad.

Thanks Axeman.
Did you notice that Fox, has taken the Post debate polls off their website? LOL

The last reading had Paul as the winner (again).At somewhere around 35 percent, above all the other candidates.

Denial of the truth..again.

I got it as 38% and Hannity crying like a little girl about it... "They chased me down the street, boo hoo hoo. But I stood up to them..."

You're so freakin' brave. What an idiot.

He won the debate, and you're all terrified. Doesn't feel so nice when you're the one being made to fear, eh? God knows you've spouted off enough propaganda in order to induce fear in the American public...

Did you see the Penn & Teller Piece on youtube about Frank Luntz?

(caution - strong language)

www.youtube.com...

I couldn't make it embed in the post, sorry.

The "polls" and "focus groups" are garbage. There are no obective benchmarks, they know it, and they are doing their best to discredit RP because it appears he is gaining quite a bit of support... I don't care what they say. Almost everone I know - my friends, family, a lot of my coworkers - is behind RP and the ball is just beginning to roll.

I tell (almost) everyone I meet about RP and 9 times out of 10 they are receptive.

I believe "they" are failing.

If the polls are so inexact, why are they consistently right?

Because of guys like Frank Luntz -- I thought I had made that clear in my post.

Iowa and New Hampshire are closed primaries, so the tally of votes is not indicative of what the general election tally will be. It's only the registered Republicans, and then even then only the ones that bother to caucus.

If you look at the results of the debates (sans Frank and Hannity), Ron Paul was the clear winner of all of them. He completely schooled all the others on policy and the moderators too, with their irrelevant questions and setting him up for the others to make jokes.

He stayed the course and stood his ground, just like he always has, and they just looked like class clowns.

You are being decieved, my friend.
