The Ron Paul that Ron Paul doesn’t want you to know

Even more troubling than his obscurity, is his past comments on racial
minorities and his association with the John Birch Society. Paul is
the only congressperson to receive a 100% approval rating from the
Birchers. His MySpace links directly to the John Birch Society.

He has also been attributed to comments such as these which appeared
in his newsletter, the Ron Paul Survival Report:

"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how
unbelievably fleet-footed they can be."

"Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks
have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market,
individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action"

"Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal
justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the
black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal"

"We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of
23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been
raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big,
strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated
as such."

"We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it
is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies,
muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers."

He called former U.S. representative Barbara Jordan a "fraud" and
a "half-educated victimologist."

Paul also claimed that former President Bill Clinton not only fathered
illegitimate children, but, that he also used cocaine which "would
explain certain mysteries" about the president's scratchy voice. He
said, "None of this is conclusive, of course, but it sure is
interesting,"

When challenged on those remarks he blamed them on an aide that
supposedly wrote them for his newsletter over a period of years. Are
we to assume that he hadn't read his own newsletter?

His newsletter with his name on it.

When challenged by the NAACP and other civil rights groups for an
apology for such racist remarks, Paul simply said that his remarks
about Barbara Jordan related to her stands on affirmative action and
that his written comments about blacks were in the context of "current
events and statistical reports of the time." He denied any racist
intent.[....]
