On CNN right now, Wolf Blitzer about to do another Ron Paul piece

Ron Paul the racist

There are tons of photos just like this one. Ron Paul NEVER discriminates against anyone.

I just looked online, and a whole new batch of stories about Ron Paul talking about "the newsletter" on cpsan from 1993, and you click on the link, and it's about the investment newsletter and it has nothing to do with the story. There were a whole bunch of newsletters. But just pointing out all those stories on the wire right now were just made up. I think for anyone that checks facts out, this type of thing works to Paul's advantage.

 

[Libertea Party]

Rachel Maddow is on now, (9:51) calling ROn on racism and the newsletters.

Not watching but here's what I wrote when she attacked Rand repeatedly:

Maddow is not "cluelessly attacking Rand Paul". She's making sure the liberal sheep don't wander out of the Democratic political agenda. Supporting Rand Paul on an issue where principle progressives would agree with a "teabagging Republican" would be hurt the Democratic Party.

Maddow's only role is to pen up the "progressive" activism for the Democratic party. For goodness sakes Obama appeared at a Nutroots convention, said two words, and literally played a propaganda clip of Maddow praising his "accomplishments" while any progressive knows he was a sell out.



Once you ask "Is it good for the Democratic Party?" you'll realize that Maddow is far from clueless in what she does.

I've seen so many news reports of anti-war liberals dissing Obama and going for Ron Paul in Iowa. It scares her and the GE-owned MSNBC so much that they'll lose their very very lucrative connections to both sides of DC if Paul catches on. Maddow is trying to plug the holes in that dam before it becomes a rush of liberals leaving the Democratic Party for Ron Paul.

Also pretty funny how she's never going to have to explain why she let a "racist" on her show multiple times without confronting him about this before.

People are tired of the racism charge. They call everyone they don't like a racist and no one buys that shit anymore. Everyone knows a real racist when they see/encounter one. It's obvious to a vast majority of people that Ron is not a racist no matter what the talking head establishment cronies spew out. Everyone here blows this far too much out of proportion. The GOP base is desensitized to racist charges because they're all called racist all the time by the media establishment lackeys, even though a vast majority are not. This isn't going to hurt Ron at all because it's clear as day he isn't a racist.

 

[Anti Federalist]

I'm as responsible for that as I am for some random serial killer's crimes.

Negative.

We all, to some degree, bear moral culpability for what government does in our name.

Some, more than others, but we're all guilty.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Even if Ron Paul came out and said he wrote them, it doesn't matter. His congressional voting record contradicts them. For CNN, it's what you say, not what you do. The statements aren't even racist to begin with. Politically incorrect, but not racist.

This.

 

[Carehn]

Negative.

We all, to some degree, bear moral culpability for what government does in our name.

Some, more than others, but we're all guilty.

I don't know if I agree with this or not.

The tea party was called racist all day long, anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist etc. This is one hand that has been so overplayed by the media they have destroyed the shock value of it. Some progressives might be appalled by it but most conservatives could care less.

Because your nation destroyed Iraq and killed a million people there.

After seeing this and 2008's election cycle, I have to say we clearly wouldn't have had any choice or say in the matter. The media here is not just relentless, they have no shame or concern of what they are doing. They are in the pockets of the military industrial complex.

Don't get me wrong, I do know there is blood on American hands, but to say we all share the burden is ridiculous. We need to get the HELL out of there and stop fucking killing people. Not find lingering reasons to stay.

I don't really see how an individual who has never voted and doesn't believe in the authority of the government can be considered culpable of its actions. Perhaps one could argue that he is culpable for not doing more to fight it, but at what point can he then vindicate himself? Martyrdom?
