Reporting has been troublesome, worried it will hinder our GOTV effort.

Individual who wrote them was immediately fired upon realization,, prior to RP returning to congress or even deciding he was running.

Dr. Paul was careless in not immediately addressing newsletters. He more or less let independent writers take over it after awhile (i.e. kinda got tired of it,) takes 'moral responsibility,' for them.
.
Dr. Paul has been condemning racism in his writings for decades; long before he had any presidential or even congressional ambitions. No motive for him to write books condemning racism while at the same time writing newsletters saying blacks are bad etc.

The Campaign will be soon coming out with a press release addressing all of this.

We need to GOTV and forget about this; this was designed to hurt our cause, and we can't let them. Let's face it, Dr. Paul likely isnt going to win this election. However, even if we don't prevail, we must gain momentum and viability to lay crucial groundwork for a libertarian revolution in the near future. (perhaps in the 2012 elections) Moreover, in the grand scheme of things, this isn't about Ron Paul, but his ideas, remember. The Dr. Paul we know and love is no racist, but it's not significant in the scheme of things.


P.S.
According to Andrew Sullivan from a November blog, Jamie Kirchick actually supports Giuliani for president and apparently has been out to get Dr. Paul for sometime; he originally hyper-ventilated about that $500 check...

Did they say anything about having this handled, ready to condradict or anything? It doesn't seem to really have legs at this point so I can see them holding back for now, I just hope they are ready to slam the article if it does start to really garner press.

Good to know HQ is aware of this, I hope they have a more detailed counter-attack prepared though. It is a necessity for the campaign to get specific by mentioning how Ron is compassionate, loving, most tolerant person in the world ect. ect.

Be careful posting stuff like this, the RPF mob will attack you for being negative.

Let's face it, Dr. Paul likely isnt going to win this election.

Is this your opinion? Or the campaign's? If yours, just keep it to yourself. If that came from anyone in the campaign, they should be fired.

I'm not supporting this campaign just to place or show. Lead, follow, or get out of the way!

Cockerill, you don't need to tell all your beliefs about Paul's chances. If it is true that he isn't going to win, you know that no one is going to vote for him. Most of us are not here for that BS.

Thanks for the information, but not your opinion.
 
OK, it actually sounds like they were reading this to you from a press release, and a really good one. Very nice.

I didn't say he isn't going to win. I should've worded my post more carefully; I was merely saying that it was possible that RP didn't win.
 
Press Release tonight??? Not a good idea. That will just fuel media stories on voting day! Wait till tomorrow after the voting. This story is going nowhere right now.
 
Contact MSNBC

ANYONE who aired this allegation Must permit Ron Paul to get on the air
and answer the allegation ie refute it.

And a press release in response needs to point out if MSNBC won't let us
respond AND that the attack hounds
came from Guiliani because he is AFRAID of us.
 
counterattack

You probably want to get (1) a RP supporter who has done the research, preferably a minority, to refute the contentions; and (2) a meticulously researched rebuttal piece, complete with footnotes and sources.

I'm a minority, but not the "right kind" of minority to address these allegations.

I was surprised that the author of the piece was an old classmate of mine and a minority (at least, gender/sexuality-wise); RP seems to have the most gay-friendly platform of all the Republicans in the field.

Cockerill, Ron Paul is only popular because his record matches what he says. We don't have another politician like him. It is about him in that respect. If he doesn't win, change is less likely. This is not about a movement, this is about the only honest politician.

There are no other upcoming politicians to take his place.
