Check out the following.\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------\r\nRacism in Ron Paul\u2019s Past Writings?\r\n By Arlen Parsa\r\n Filed: Monday June 04th 2007, 5:48 PM\r\n\r\nSome bloggers have been digging around and researching Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul\u2019s history, and it may come as a surprise to find that he\u2019s not the person a lot of supporters on the internet thought he was. New information dug up by bloggers reveals that Congressman Paul has had ties to White Supremacist organizations and has published fringe racist rants in the past.\r\n\r\n\u201cOpinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions,\u201d Paul wrote in a 1992 edition of his newsletter The Ron Paul Political Report (later renamed to The Ron Paul Survival Report).\r\n\r\nPaul also once suggested that the vast majority of African Americans were criminals, writing \u201cI think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.\u201d Paul was referring to Washington DC, which is heavily populated by African Americans.\r\n\r\nCongressman Paul also once seemed to encourage fear of African American men because of the color of their skin, saying \u201cWe are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Congressman also advocated treating young black males who are accused of committing crimes differently than young white males accused of the same crime. \u201cWe don\u2019t think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23,\u201d he once wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s 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\u201d (emphasis added).\r\n\r\nVirtually all scientists agree that children\u2019s brains are not fully developed at age 13, no matter where they are raised.\r\n\r\nIn another stunning case of racism, Congressman Paul once declared \u201cour country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists \u2014 and they can be identified by the color of their skin.\u201d He also talked about how \u201cunbelievably fleet-footed\u201d young black men are, when they rob white people.\r\n\r\nPaul also has seemed to welcome the support of prominent White Supremacist leaders and groups. In the 1990s, Paul accepted the endorsements of Larry Pratt, an associate of the infamous White Supremacist and former KKK leader David Duke. Pratt has been featured at neo-Nazi events. Paul has also received the support of a Texas separatist group and racist anti-Martin Luther King and pro-confederacy organizations.\r\n\r\nRon Paul\u2019s presidential campaign, which has responded previous requests from The Daily Background for comments on other issues was given a chance to respond to this article but did not.\r\n\r\nUpdate:\r\n\r\nMichael Krekel, a spokesperson for Congressman Paul\u2019s campaign, has now responded to the allegations of racism in the Congressman\u2019s writings. Krekel called the writings \u201cunfortunate,\u201d but said that the writings referenced above were \u201cnot written by the congressman personally.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cIt was composed by a ghostwriter, and then sent out with Dr. Paul\u2019s name attached to it, Krekel told The Daily Background. He also said that at the time, Paul was not directly involved in politics and that he had a staffer write the column in his place. Paul \u201chas apologized repeatedly for his error, and he has been dealing with the incident for 15 years,\u201d Krekel added.\r\n\r\n\u201cWhile the views expressed on African Americans do not reflect Congressman Paul\u2019s views, he understands that he is responsible for anything that goes out in his weekly column.\u201d\r\n http:\/\/www.thedailybackground.com\/2007\/06\/04\/racism-in-ron-pauls-past-writings\/\r\n\r\n-----------------------------\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA Ron Paul for President thread at Stormfront, a Neo-Nazi website, lifts up the rock and uncovers Ron Paul\u2019s racist base.\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s no secret that until he became the darling of the anti-war crowd, Ron Paul extensively catered to racists. He\u2019s been endorsed and has ties to far right figures such as Larry Pratt and Pat Buchanan. He has a 100 percent approval rating from the John Birch society. His newsletter contained statements that most black men were criminals and welfare recipients or looters. He\u2019s gone on about Jews controlling America and Asians embezzling the banks.\r\n\r\nAt the Stormfront thread meanwhile followed by an article from a David Duke website, we had Ron Paul supporters with extensive links to both Ron Paul and racist sites praising and talking up Ron Paul.\r\n\r\n Cheimon: Ron Paul would collapse the Jewish infrastructure in this country.\r\n\r\n lyo616: You bet your last dollar hes the best guy for the job.\r\n\r\n terminus: Yes, he IS the one. He stands against the NWO, he has identified it several times in speeches. He clearly understands what is really going on in the world, and he is against it.\r\n\r\n AllWhiteAllRight: Anyone who doesn\u2019t vote for Paul on this site is an assclown. Sure he doesn\u2019t come right out and say he is a WN, who cares! He promotes agendas and ideas that allow Nationalism to flourish. If we \u201cget there\u201d without having to raise hell, who cares; aslong as we finally get what we want. I don\u2019t understand why some people do not support this man, Hitler is dead, and we shall probably never see another man like him.\r\n\r\n Pat Buchanan\u2019s book \u201cWhere the Right Went Wrong\u201d is a prime example of getting the point across without having the book banned for anti semitism. The chapters about the war in Iraq sound like a BarMitzvah, but he doesn\u2019t have to put the Star of David next to each name for us to know what he means. We are running out of options at this point, and I will take someone is 90% with us versus any of the other choices.\r\n\r\n Not to mention if Paul makes a serious run, he legitimizes White Nationalism and Stormfront, for God\u2019s sake David Duke is behind this guy!\r\n\r\n Woodsy: I believe Ron Paul represents a true opportunity for most of America. He\u2019s the real McCoy. A humble, educated, honest and determined man who is a real, patriotic American. You want business as usual? Cast your lot with Giuliani the Mayor of Jew York or Obama the dark horse from Minnesota (?). This coming election represents the Internet vs. the Jew-controlled mass media.\r\n\r\n Jager88: Everyone should try to get as many people as possible to vote for Ron Paul!\r\n\r\n President of Peach: Step foot outside of your cave\/basement and start looking at the big picture: Ron Paul is the last chance the white race has for just 10% of its survival, much less America\u2026 And how do you know that\u2019s not his priority? Remember: the game is rigged. Paul can\u2019t come out swinging.\r\n\r\n white-patriot: Ron Paul is the only true Constitutionalist and non-globalist in the bunch. He will have my support and vote.\r\n\r\nThe thread in question not only includes discussion but the usual links and prompts to vote for Ron Paul in web polls and text messaging polls. These are not abstract discussions but vocal and active Ron Paul supporters. Should Ron Paul be judged by the company he keeps? Hell, yeah.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/spaceramblings.blogsome.com\/2007\/06\/01\/ron-pauls-racist-supporters\/","author":"nazis for target practice","parent_id":202824,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2007-07-09 02:08:48","modified":"2013-11-11 00:49:04","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2007\/07\/2005620025379493475_rs.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2007\/07\/2005620025379493475_rs.jpg"}},{"id":202922,"heading":"Hmmmm","article":"What we have here:\r\n"\r\nMichael Krekel, a spokesperson for Congressman Paul\u2019s campaign, has now responded to the allegations of racism in the Congressman\u2019s writings.

Maybe they're white or Asian, and buy into the "reverse racism" arguments, and don't see it as racist. Maybe they're Black and agree about some problems with unorderly immigration. Maybe they're peace-loving anti-war people who have a deep isolationist streak, and don't care about issues in other countries.\r\n\r\nWhatever the reasons, he's appealing because he's simultaneously patriotic and anti-government.
