I've found very few actually in context statements that could back up your claims. I don't believe Dr. Paul to be a racist. Now why don't you answer my question.

No, I do not believe for one second that President Obama is racist.

This is just a taste. Hell, he didn't even try to hide his hatred for blacks. What he had to say was beyond over the top. There is no chance this was taken out of context either...


Paul’s alliance with neo-Confederates helps explain the views his newsletters have long espoused on race. Take, for instance, a special issue of the Ron Paul Political Report,published in June 1992, dedicated to explaining the Los Angeles riots of that year. “Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began,” read one typical passage. According to the newsletter, the looting was a natural byproduct of government indulging the black community with “‘civil rights,’ quotas, mandated hiring preferences, set-asides for government contracts, gerrymandered voting districts, black bureaucracies, black mayors, black curricula in schools, black tv shows, black tv anchors, hate crime laws, and public humiliation for anyone who dares question the black agenda.” It also denounced “the media” for believing that “America’s number one need is an unlimited white checking account for underclass blacks.”...​
This “Special Issue on Racial Terrorism” was hardly the first time one of Paul’s publications had raised these topics. As early as December 1989, a section of hisInvestment Letter,titled “What To Expect for the 1990s,” predicted that “Racial Violence Will Fill Our Cities” because “mostly black welfare recipients will feel justified in stealing from mostly white ‘haves.’” Two months later, a newsletter warned of “The Coming Race War,” and, in November 1990, an item advised readers, “If you live in a major city, and can leave, do so. If not, but you can have a rural retreat, for investment and refuge, buy it.” In June 1991, an entry on racial disturbances in Washington, DC’s Adams Morgan neighborhood was titled, “Animals Take Over the D.C. Zoo.” “This is only the first skirmish in the race war of the 1990s,” the newsletter predicted. In an October 1992 item about urban crime, the newsletter’s author--presumably Paul--wrote, “I’ve urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self defense. For the animals are coming.” That same year, a newsletter described the aftermath of a basketball game in which “blacks poured into the streets of Chicago in celebration. How to celebrate? How else? They broke the windows of stores to loot.” The newsletter inveighed against liberals who “want to keep white America from taking action against black crime and welfare,” adding, “Jury verdicts, basketball games, and even music are enough to set off black rage, it seems.”​

You guys need to stop masturbating over Paul. He will never be president. Let me repeat that, he will NEVER be president, the GOP would never allow that to happen. There aren't enough clueless libertarians in the US to get around the GOP machine.
"Clueless libertarian" is an oxymoron. ;)

I'm all for a third party....
No you're not. You can lie to yourself all you want, but we see right through you.

Oh, btw, find something Paul actually wrote, rather than anonymous newsletter postings from 20 years ago. Why didn't you drop in the link? Is it possible it might taint your claim a little?

I can sit here and post hundreds of links proving that he was the author of some of those articles and he was aware of the content. Hell, he admitted that fact in 1996 before he retracted it in 2001. http://blogcritics.org/politics/article/a-quick-investigation-into-ron-pauls/

You can take some time and learn the truth for yourself or you can bury your head in the sand. But it is VERY clear where he stands on black people, very clear. Hell, you don't even need to read between the lines.


And as far as me not being for a third party... why would you even think that? Where is this third party that I can wrap my arms around? Show me a party that I can remotely support and I'm there. But there isn't any, so my ONLY choice is to support the best guy/gal at the time. It just so happens I haven't found a single republican tolerable in the last few election cycles.... So I guess that makes me a democrat in your eyes... what ever :dunno

Republicrat status quo supporter. I may be lumping you in with Minor, but it seems you either try to find a reason to vote for a dem or against a repub without considering anything outside the two-sided box. Don't I remember you parroting that lesser-of-two-evils garbage?
