< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence TNR Rebrands Ron Paul
"Am I the only one sick of hearing about the 'rights' of AIDS carriers?" one excerpt reads. Another laments the aftermath of the Chicago Bulls winning the NBA championship in 1992: "Blacks poured into the streets of Chicago in celebration. How to celebrate? How else? They broke the windows of stores to loot." Yet another notes an encounter with a reporter from a gay magazine "who certainly had an axe to grind, and that's not easy with a limp wrist." The newsletters are not an entirely new issue for Paul; some racist excerpts surfaced during Paul's effort to re-gain a seat in Congress in 1996. But Kirchick's more sizable cache of newsletter nuggets may weaken the credibility of Paul's claim that the offensive comments were somehow penned by a ghostwriter without his knowledge or review. Kirchick goes beyond even the clearly damning comments to indict Paul as "a member in good standing of some of the oldest and ugliest traditions in American politics." (Maybe because he's a Giuliani guy?) Previewing his article last night on MSNBC, Kirchick claimed that Paul "speaks in code" to racist elements in our society. "He'll say certain things that, you know, at first might not appear to be overtly racist but to certain audiences, they know what he's talking about." While this is all bad news for Team Paul, coming as it does in the heat of the New Hampshire primary, Paul supporters can take heart: This could be the beginning of a major South Carolina bounce! 
Gays & Lesbians for Ron Paul don't seem to think so......they talked to Mr. Kirchick via email. http://gays-for-ron.blogspot.com/2008/01/jamie-kirchick-i-dont-think-ron-paul-is.html Posted by: RonPaulDefender on January 8, 2008 5:06 PM Only The Mentally Minuscule Take Words Out Of Context To Bend Them To Their Preconceived Paradigm. If you refuse to look at the actions of a man for temperance of judgment then you truly castrate you mind and make it easy to arrive at wrong conclusion. The weak minded are easily led by the bridle of emotion. Racism is not consistent with the philosophy expressed by Ron Paul. He has rebutted these accusations from the same distortions in previous days. Ron Paul is the only candidate that I would trust with my money and my family's safety. I Vote For Virtue; I Vote For Ron Paul !!! Posted by: PainfullyAware on January 8, 2008 5:08 PM I found this comment on the web: TNR has a long and checkered history of pro-fascism, pro-communism, and pro-new dealism. Founded to promote the rotten progessive movement of militarism, central banking, income taxation, centralization, and regulation of business, it naturally hates and fears the Ron Paul Revolution. The mag is also famous for having published a slew of entirely made-up articles by Stephen Glass, which it passed off as non-fiction. Through the 1950s it was an important magazine, of sigificant if baleful influence, but it long ago declined in circulation and significance, like all DC deadtree ops. Long close to Beltway libertarians, for whom its politically correct left-neoconism is fine and dandy, TNR once published a cover story literally comparing Ross Perot to Adolf Hitler when he was running for president. That is the publication's style--hysterical smears aimed at political enemies. Posted by: Replikov on January 8, 2008 5:21 PM I WISH you would do your own research before recycling the tabloids of a website that obviously has an agenda. Especially when it coincidentally releases the information on the day of the biggest primary in the U.S. Damnit, see, if this gets more attention than anything else this PEACEFUL man has done, it will speak wonders about the media. Please Read: - http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&ct=us/6-0&fp=4783af5f8abb6cca&ei=9faDR5n5A4T8-wHg9oXyDg&url=http%3A//www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS233377%2b08-Jan-2008%2bBW20080108&cid=0 - http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul68.html Seriously, I don't think he's a crazy old racist, I think he's a peaceful genius. It really, really, really, really sucks that this could be what damages his image.

He says: Obviously the people in my district do not believe I am a racist, because they have elected me repeatedly since their publication. No, Ron Paul, that does not mean that the racism is not true. To the contrary, it means that you live in a racist, Southern congressional district, and that your Republican constituents _love_ this type of hatred (and they do). I personally live in a Republican suburb in Louisiana, and I have to hear these types of racist comments all the time. This type of disgusting Republican polemic _wins_elections_ for Republicans where I live. If there had been only one such editorial, that would be different; but this apparently went on for years, with no retractions, no apologies, until Ron Paul thought it would hurt him politically.
