I know it's hard, people, but we really need to refrain from even posting in threads by individuals like this OP. Even though these anti-Paul threads expose the shills for what they are, continuing to argue these points by engaging in these threads is doing nothing but putting them right on the front page of ATS. Sometimes, repetitive negative headlines is all someone needs to be swayed one way or another in a political campaign....especially if a person is too busy or not motivated enough to look further into the articles for the truth.
It's an easily recognizable campaign strategy...especially by those who are grasping at straws.
Just ignore them....let their threads live for the few seconds after they are started.....and enjoy watching them die a quick ATS death with no stars, flags, or replies...

Ron Paul slandered himself with his name on the racist Newsletters, and this piece is by a guy named Cohen not Frum.
The point here is, they are no longer beating around the issue, they are coming right out in bold published material calling him a bigot. The end game is here, Paul will no longer be able to wishy washy excuse himself from owning up to this issue like a man.

Even if Ron Paul had sketchy personal views, his foundational platforms of ending the war on drugs, and overhauling the prison situation, strengthening privacy, liberty, limited government, and his strict adherence to peaceful civil disobedience would level the playing field for all minorities and render your point moot.
The point is Ron Paul advocates ideas that are not his own but rather historical views that have been laid down to fundamentally favor the individual. Hardly the platform of a bigot.edit on 27-12-2011 by sparrowstail because: (no reason given)edit on 27-12-2011 by sparrowstail because: (no reason given)

So more drugs on the streets and letting criminals out of prisons is the magic Ron Paul formula to counteract his racist past? Those things are conducive towards "peaceful civil disobedience"?
The irrational is the rational in this crazy topsy turvey Ron Paul delusion.
you have got to be kidding me! just because he refers to a race as "the blacks" does not mean he has a collectivist mindset or judgement! How else would you refer to black voters without using "collectivist" terminology??

He claims he doesn't associate individuals into collective groups as his main defense in not being racist, then he identifies a collective group "the blacks" which destroys his very own defense.

It amazes me that the fanaticism here has blinded you all to the subject at hand.
Where before did you see former officials who had posts in a GOP executive branch come right out and call someone a "bigot"? This is unprecidented and signals the leadership in the GOP party is not going to put up with Ron Paul any longer. It could be viewed as not just a hit piece by an opposing candidate such as Newt or Mitt, but as a signal that Ron Paul better start looking into running Independant. The open accusation of "bigot" could easily be an indicator that they are prepared to kick him out of the GOP Party.
