I posted this as well. MODs please sticky this. Give consideration to having a subforum, newsletter debunked with the article and links.

After you read this the TNR piece is total garbage for the passages and quotes were taken out of context. As RP supporters we need to make sure this article goes viral.

Greg, I figured it would be a re-post. And thanks for agreeing that this article is extremely important. I've always been a fan of Justin and his writing style.

I thought this was a great article, and it should definitely be stickied somewhere.

It's nothing new.

The fact is at least this much: in 1996 Ron Paul and campaign took ownership for Paul having written the newsletters and even tried to defend them, saying they were taken out of context. Then in 2001 RP said he didn't write them, at least not the nasty stuff. And in 2008 RP is saying he didn't write them and has no clue who did.

So, either RP was lying in 1996, or he's lying now. Either way, he lied about these newsletters.

Anyone whose faith in RP has been shaken by the newsletter scandal needs to read this!

I've read it, and it didn't change a thing for me.

Get Real, if you're looking for the perfect candidate, it's never gonna happen! You are putting a hell of a lot of energy on this board trying to (intentionally?) demoralize Ron Paul's supporters with your nit picking over these stupid newsletters and the racist crap.... I think the big issues are what we should focus on. I don't agree with some of what Ron Pauls about either, but I don't keep bringing them up here because I know I can't change it.

I know RP is not a racist.

I'm putting a lot of energy into this board? No, not anymore. I've posted maybe 10-15 times in the last 2 weeks.

I'm not looking for the perfect candidate, but I am looking for one who is honest and straightforward. Ron Paul was that man, before he lied about the newsletters.

If you are letting this nitpicking thing change your mind you were never a supporter. I looked at your link and its full of Cato mumbo jumbo. Lets just all sit on our couch and read your graphs and pie charts until the perfect candidate comes along?

I'm sorry you ate up the smear campaign.

He's still the best candidate even if he did lie as you say he did, so if you agree with that he is the best candidate, please stop poo-pooing him, because it isn't helping those of us who are still active.

 

[Menthol Patch]

Ron Paul did not write those newsletters. That is all that matters.

Fair enough. Bye! Good luck with your new candidate!

You've made 100+ posts since January 4th(so does that mean you lied and we should never trust you ever again? I think it does.) and Ron Paul is still an excellent candidate, I know in my heart he had nothing to do with the newsletters. Besides no one is perfect and what other candidate are you gonna turn to?

 

[Caravello]

Excellent article.

Thanks for posting!

How could you possibly let ONE lie (a rather benign one at that), get in the way of 30 years of consistent voting?

I mean even if he had 10 more things he lied about, have you looked around lately?


Whatever then, I can see it now...

*dollar collapses*

"Hey man, at least I proved I wasn't racist. I voted for Obama." Seriously, look at the policies that actually HURT black people, before you go around acting like a retard.

Seriously, are you even black? I am, and can clearly see that a couple of my friends getting pardoned for NON-VIOLENT DRUG CRIMES(possession of cannabis, under 7 grams), being the OPPOSITE of racism.

He didn't lie you troll and/or turncoat - Eric Dondero and Lew Rockwell wrote that crap.

Eric was fired and Lew was ostracized by Ron for it.

It's a smear attack by a disgruntled ex-employee.

Just LEAVE - you've trolled enough FAKE.
