I wrote a whole faq on the issue of "racism". See section #7 for stuff on gold medals. http://www.scribd.com/doc/76280303/PaulNewslettersFaq-Tunk

Check out my faq on the subject. http://regulatetheregulators.blogspot.com/2011/12/in-defense-of-ron-paul-newsletters-faq.html

But they're referring to "annual income". Wouldn't that mean GROSS annual income?

As far as I know, MLK day is observed on the third Monday of January. I'm not American so I don't know for sure. It could be that you're supposed to celebrate it on January 15 by law but people do it the other way by custom.

What I meant by that is that January 15 in some years could be a Saturday or a Sunday. And if a Federal Holiday falls on a weekend then for the most part it's not really a complete holiday. I was being partly ironic. I'm going to update the FAQ to make that clear.

I spent like a week looking at both sides of the issue, and then I decided after I'd had my fill of verbose, idiotic blog posts, that so many obvious facts were not being reported that so clearly establish poor Ron Paul as not a racist, that I just had to type it all up. I felt like it was a...

just link to the blog from now on, sorry.

I changed it to "Have the articles been removed from context?" BTW, anyone know a good free host where I can upload this thing and people can just view it without having to download it?

Well, I used that section to try and show that many of the quotes were taken out of context and not really racist. It's actually essential and I can't really get rid of it, because my whole case relies on the fact that only about 7 newsletters can really be considered "racist". That's what...

ATTENTION: I have changed the host of the FAQ to Google Docs. From now on everyone just link to my blog. http://regulatetheregulators.blogspot.com/2011/12/in-defense-of-ron-paul-newsletters-faq.html
