I'm not sure if anyone saw it, I assumed someone would catch it but I didn't see anything here about it.
Earlier today Chris Matthews reported on those newsletters with the racist content. It was really scewed if you saw it...
Anyway, this is the first time I've seen this in the media, and I'm noticing more and more people are starting to call Ron Paul a racist, even some Ron Paul reporters.
I know he isn't, I personally think he's a sincere old white man that could probably do with some cultural exposure... but if his beautiful explanation of how libertarianism "racism's worst enemy" on Bill Moyers Journal proves anything, even if it's possible he was in the past (which I doubt) the Ron Paul I see now is no racist.
Unfortunately it's not so easy to convince people of that, and with such a taboo accusation trying to wipe the dirt off can make you dirtier. The people who have hated him from the beginning are abusing this piece on him to know end.
I think this is going to be his final undoing.
