Ron Paul is the "most non-racist politician that ever existed" is ironic in the face of the years' worth of trash published under his name: Ron Paul's Freedom Report, Ron Paul Political Report, and The Ron Paul Survival Report. As Kirchick writes: "But, whoever actually wrote them, the newsletters I saw all had one thing in common: They were published under a banner containing Paul's name, and the articles (except for one special edition of a newsletter that contained the byline of another writer) seem designed to create the impression that they were written by him--and reflected his views. What they reveal are decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews, and gays. In short, they suggest that Ron Paul is not the plain-speaking antiwar activist his supporters believe they are backing--but rather a member in good standing of some of the oldest and ugliest traditions in American politics."

The newsletters in question were long ago proven to be written not by Ron Paul but by a misguided "supporter" who was relieved of his writing tasks soon after. And Dr. Paul himself repudiated the allegedly racist statements that had been ascribed to him. Anyone who has ever listened to Ron Paul knows he is the most non-racist politician that ever existed, because he simply does not think of people in terms of race or other group attributes - all people are individuals, to be treated equally under the law. Period. He has never moved a hair's width from that position. Ever.

That scarcely proves that Ron Paul is a "racist" you pathetic cretin. And while you're at it, stop hurling around the worn out slur of anti-semitism; it only proves how clueless you are.

"is one of the best research organizations that exist today"? ): But perhaps I'm underestimating how compelling your logic is. You call Kirchick a "pimply-faced ex-Yalie Bonesman and CFR wannabe," hence the text and source material he uncovered in his research into Ron Paul's The Freedom Report and other journals is not valid. A couple of words and concepts you may wish to look up: Evidence, ad hominem arguments. Who cares what Kirchick has written in other pieces? His case is made in the TNR pieces cited and in Paul's address to the JBS. I wonder if these Birchers will make a pilgrimage to McCarthy's grave during their celebration this weekend; I know just right where it is. I try to make it over there as often as time permits.

I don't see what the pimply-faced ex-Yalie Bonesman and CFR wannabe Kirchick was vindicated FOR???? First off, the premise that RP is racist is so off the beaten track that it is libelous. Second the JBS is one of the best research organizations that exist today. William Grigg is black... So what were you saying about racists? I guess Obama's two openly racist books are offlimits to you liberal Yalie scumbags. He should be doomed to prison for the things HE has done and said.
