Its 100% bullshit that you say even though this appeared in his newsletter, that he bears no responsibility for it.
If any other politician's campaign said this, you would treat it like a nuclear weapon, but since your precious Dr. Paul said it, its no big deal.
This is a completely untrue, inflammatory, and racist remark.
There is no way you can justify saying something like this.
What, its okay because it was 20 years ago? This wasn't racist in 1978?
Fucking bullshit. Take off your blinders.

Who the hell said he takes no responsibility for it? Did you even READ his response to it on his web site?
At least he can ADMIT there were mistakes made. Go find me another politician that will admit when he/she fucks up. I think the last time a politician ever said "I take full responsibility for __insertfuckuphere___" was JFK and the Bay of Pigs.

You've spent this whole thread talking about how it was no big deal!

It ISN'T.
If someone had actually heard him say that shit out of his own mouth I'd say it might be a big deal, but is a case of him hiring an idiot working on his newsletter.. no more.

Listen, its not like it was just some random piece of propoganda that happened to have his name on it.
This was Paul's PERSONAL newsletter, started by him to comment on public policy issues. To say that it was some moron he hired is asinine. There is no way that Paul was not on very close terms with someone that he would let publish articles in his PERSONAL newsletter.
No, I think it is much more likely that Paul did indeed at one time share the views that his PERSONAL newsletter espouses, and when he began to think seriously about a national office he decided it might be a good idea to refute said inflammatory remarks.

Fine... if that's what you want to believe.
Even IF it were true, you know 99% of the christian republicans are a bunch of racist fucks anyways so it wouldn't really make him any different.
Hell... Trent Lott's still popular and an apology was all that was needed for the nation to seem to forgive him and he even said some racist shit out of his OWN mouth.

It doesn't fucking matter except that there is an incredible number of self abusers here who bored the living shit out of the sane people with this moron. I'd say stick a fork in him but he was never really on the fire. He isn't even half-baked. Although most of his fans are.

You're right, of course.
Has anyone seen Fireworks_god since this whole fiasco has gone down?
Did he throw himself off of a bridge?

OK, what was that? Saying something nice about a retiring old asshole? Menawhile, Robert KKK Byrd is the reigning king of pork. Trent Lott was a jerk-off but I don't know what you're talking about. He's way to smart of a cracker to get caught.

it really isnt that big of a deal. I think you guys are making a big deal out of it because you finally have something to point to and say that he is a bad guy, when before all you could do was make theoretical jabs at how his radical ideas could possibly cause (insert some erroneous, hyperbolic shit here like: everyone gets ebola and dies).
but what is really funny is that you have to go back 20 years to find something that he didnt write or say to even find any dirt on him...
it is such a pathetic story that the only place it keeps coming up is in this forum... because it has no legs. Like the bleeting sheep you are, you placate shady politics by trying to make this into a big deal and probably get on your myspace and gay blogs saying "leik OMG, did you hear! Ron Paul is leik, totally racist, here is what he said". hmm... the story "re-breaks" the day before the NH primary.... why not just let them hold up a sign that corresponds to the emotion they want you to have. Be appalled - "I am appalled at this" apprehension - "I dont know about this Paul guy" babble angrily - "mlah..mlahmmmm Ron llllimmm Paul .... racist... mlah mlah"
think this one through.... seriously. Do you really think that someone could hold multiple terms, as well as be elected multiple times, then run for president multiple times while having something like this be even worthy of mentioning? unless of course he was David Duke running on the "I hate niggers" platform.

And stick cats in pots of boiling water
And vote for Ron Paul.
In fact... here's a video of me on a normal afternoon:

So what is your explanation for this?
How did this stuff in get in Paul's newsletter?
Or do you deny that it was there in the first place?

Obviously Maptowntripper can only read at a 4 year old level because he hasn't seen the billions of responses to this post already.
