****Okay, Johnny D. You asked for another thread so here it is...You spoke of logic. Provide some on why someone would allow a publication bearing his name to publish articles with clearly derogatory comments towards Jews, blacks, and gays.. Then to claim that he had no idea such stuff was in the publication and that he had no idea who was responsible for it... That is amazingly stupid and reckless at best if one vehemently disagrees with such content... And when researching such matters, one name seem to keep cropping up when it comes to the responsibility foe such revolting comments...After Paul himself. the most likely suspect seems to be Lew Rockwell who was vice=president of the corporation which published the newsletters... Doesn't your son-in-law post articles on Lew Rockwell's website?...
****
****
****Here are some articles for you to check out if you're willing...
****I'll give you the titles and you can search for them if you so desire...
****
****
****
****'The Company Ron Paul Keeps' from the Weekly Standard
****
****
****
****
****'Angry White Man' from The New Republic
****
****
****
****
****'Who Wrote Ron Paul's Newsletters?' from Reason
****
****
****
****'Stormfront Founder Don Black Says White Supremacists Thought Ron Paul Was One Of Us' from Politicker
***
***
***
***
*** I forgot to add that quite a few of the articles featuring the revolting content were written in first person which would further lead people to believe that such things were coming directly from Ron Paul himself...
***
***
***It boggles the mind to think someone could allow such things to go out under his name for a long period of time without even taking the time to check out what he was attaching his name to..
**
**The newsletter question was fully answered in the 90's, and was only brought up again when he ran for president. Motives for that? Both main parties saw he was climbing in the polls.
**
*
*
* Attributing such a motive to those who brought forth the issue of the newsletters does nothing to change what was in them, the fact that they went out ndfer Paul's name, or the explanations he gave as to why they were allowed and whether he knew who was responsible...
*
*
*
*
*
**Here is just one voucher for his character, coming from a black leader who knows Paul first hand: "Nelson Linder, President of the Austin, Texas chapter of the NAACP has known Ron Paul for over twenty years and has stated unequivocally that he does not believe that the Texas Congressman is a racist at all."
**
**Paul also has in many speeches talked and praised MLK and Rosa Parks. He also fought for minorities, (which right now I am not in full knowledge of the specifics).
**
**As an independent leader, he may have given leeway for other writers to contribute without him reading the content of their works. I know first hand that Daniel McAdams, not Ron Paul, reads Chris's articles before publishing them on Ron Paul's site. (economic/politically based articles). Paul then later reads them, ("as far as you know", (Chevy Chase). Chris has been in direct communication with McAdams since he found Chris's work on The Robert Wenzel show and on Lew Rockwell's site. So, Chris's works will get published not by Paul in actually, but only in name of the organization owner and leader. This is done throughout companies, as I was told. Maybe Paul welcomes any view on anything, regardless if he agrees with it or not. ??? Then leaves everything up to the people to decide what to believe in or how to be. ???
**
**If you check out neutral investigators as to all the racist's claims, there might be some info to curb the title to the curb for good. Or not.
**
**What is known is that once a label gets attached to anyone, the emotion of the reader of that claim of title will precede any argument against it. It then becomes a matter of having to know his speeches in full. To know what his actions have been, not from others writing about it, but from hearing his own words or his OWN type in print. It was cleared that he did not know of the other contributing writers, and was embarrassed at him not knowing as he should of. In the 90's he made that clear, and was cleared. Just not cleared by those in both parties and the media who did not want the extra competition when running for president. ALL was fine up to that point, after his cleared explanation. He has communicated with all people. Again, his own state's NAACP's leader and friend of 20 years would sure get the actual read on Paul.
**
**Now, saying that, do "I" know first hand of how he is and what he has done exactly, or how he thinks or talks with others? NO.
**So, I also will not put all eggs in one basket just yet. What I will do is forward all your info you found and give it to Chris when he comes back from the convention. If I get some detailed info from him, I will post that. When I did ask him before about Paul, he made it clear everything has been twisted, and in no way is Paul a racist towards anybody. In fact, Chris felt sure that he is the one that speaks for the people as a whole and not for the government. His stance is that the people should be in control, no matter if he agrees with what they want or not. He apparently doesn't like forced programs, (assuming here), and is probably why he made that principle vote as you pointed out. ??? I don't know about that in detail of course, so that is just my guess, given a benefit of a doubt. I am not trying to explain it away as being fact. Those close to Paul could vouch for that or not. (I mean friends and family that know him through and through), who KNOW the reasons for any action, any vote, or anything he is connected to.
**
**I am not trying to change your mind. I am just giving my current viewpoint, which is free to change.
**
**Thanks for creating another thread. I wish that was done right away, given my son in law's name is on the other one. But, I understand you doing that, and will always give you the benefit of any doubt. As with anyone here, to one degree or another.
**
**Thanks for not cursing at me, or giving me a title! That is all I ask! the rest is "discussions"! Thanks for being so detailed, and to research your info which I will pass on the Chris. I will ask him to not just brush it off, but to try to get to the bottom of things as best as he can. His time is VERY busy though with his kids to raise, his WIFE to please< (my daughter), as he is working in the livingroom all the time on the computer. He has another job on that thing that requires him to work for his father's business, doing research for it and creating apps. So, please allow time. Thanks. What I can tell you for sure is that in NO way would Chris support anyone who was a racist. Take that for what it's worth at this point.
**
**Thanks again,
**Johnny

* Chris thinks the people should be in control no matter if he agrees with what they want or not? ..Ron Paul says he was against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because he didn't think states should be able to tell people how to run their businesses...So they should be able to decide which customers to serve and refuse black customers if they so desire? ..And I wonder of he'd also be against the idea of health and safety regulations which restaurants and other business would have to adhere to?....Should a restaurant owner be able to prepare food in unsanitary conditions because it's the owners' place and he or she can do as they like?...
*
*
*
*What the people want? what if it's people who want to eat at a restaurant and can't do so because the owner refuses them service solely because of their color? Are we talking there about what people want or what white people want?
*
*
*Yes, please ask Chris is he believes the owner of a restaurant or bar should be able to refuse service to customers solely because of their color without penalty...

Will do, thanks
