Why give them the time of day when they don't deserve it?

Old axiom. "Never explain,your friends don't want to hear it and your enemies won't believe you anyway."

Lol sorry whenever I read your posts I end up starring you for the amazing avatar and then reading what you said

Cheers though either way

This racist thing the news media is trying to put out is nothing more than BS, everybody is racist to a point... I remember reading this somewhere:

Using a variety of sophisticated methods, psychologists have established that people unwittingly hold an astounding assortment of stereotypical beliefs and attitudes about social groups: black and white, female and male, elderly and young, gay and straight, fat and thin. Although these implicit biases inhabit us all, we vary in the particulars, depending on our own group membership, our conscious desire to avoid bias and the contours of our everyday environments.

Get a life... the racist thing is overblown, take the time to understand why this is why it is... you have to take the time to see things in another’s point of view and others have to do the same; Until that happens everything will remain the same, you are a racist because of what you have perceived out of your life experiences, and allot of those presumptions change as we get older and understand more.

Ron Paul walked out on Sacha Baron Cohen too.

I think Ron Paul knows when he's taking crap and I'm glad he walked out - he's got cajones.

Its very difficult for Ron Paul considering the media will do absolutely anything to discredit him. People need to look past this anf see what mainstream media is about.

Mainstream media is about lies and political propaganda, period.

I think the problem that people are having accepting the OP's premise is that for some reason they're assuming all voters are like us here on ATS. Most voters aren't going to go out and do extensive research on candidates. The extent to which they know about a candidate comes from interviews like this one. As I stated previously this is the first time Ron Paul has really had a chance at getting the Republican nomination. That means that this is the first time most voters are actually paying attention to him. Therefore, most of them haven't heard about this issue before. It doesn't matter how many times he has had to respond to these allegations, there are always voters out there who are unaware of these allegations and thus he should continue to answer the same way he always has. That way these voters will become educated instead of being given reason to suspect that he is guilty.
