Gingrich Calls on Ron Paul to Explain Controversial Newsletters

As the latest political winds have blown to the favor of Republican Presidential Candidate Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the previous flavor-of-the-month Newt Gingrich has joined howls for Rep. Paul to further explain his connection to controversial anti-gay, racist newsletters.
“I think that Congressman Paul has to explain his own situation and how he could have had a decade of newsletters that had his name on it that he apparently wasn’t aware of,” Gingrich said on Friday of the Texas congressman’s association to controversial newsletters which Paul has denied knowing had incendiary language, and has since disavowed.
“I think that somebody should say to him ‘OK, how much money did you make from the newsletters?’” said Gingrich. “These things are really nasty, and he didn’t know about it? Wasn’t aware of it? But he’s sufficiently ready to be president? It strikes me it raises some fundamental questions about him.”
ABC News reports that the tension between Gingrich and Paul goes back to 1995, when then-House Speaker Gingrich worked unsuccessfully to deny Paul a Texas House seat in a bitter primary battle that pitted Paul against a Gingrich-backed, Democrat-turned-Republican opponent.
In addition to calling on Paul to explain the newsletters, Gingrich attacked the Texas congressman’s foreign policy positions at an event Friday.
“The only person I know who is for a weaker military than Barack Obama is Ron Paul,” The New York Times reports Gingrich said during a town hall-style meeting in Columbia, South Carolina.
“His positions are fundamentally wrong on national security,” he added. “I do not agree with him that America is at fault for 9/11, I do not agree with him that we can ignore an Iranian nuclear weapon and I do not agree with him that it’s O.K. if Israel disappears.”
Top Paul campaign official Jesse Benton has already responded to Gingrich’s latest remarks, writing to The Times:
“’Today was a bad day for Newt Gingrich,’ Mr. Benton said in an e-mail. ‘First, he failed to get on the ballot in Virginia. Then, he jumped the shark trying to slander Dr. Paul.’
Mr. Benton added: ‘Dr. Paul supports the strongest national defense and most pro-American foreign policy of any candidate, and is a great friend to Israel. Newt needs to explain to voters why they should even consider supporting him when he can’t even get in the ballot in the 12th biggest state in the country, supported TARP and individual health care mandates and took millions advocating for Freddie Mac.”
Ron Paul’s connection to the newsletter has taken up a large portion of media coverage related to the congressman over the last week, along with his continued rise in Iowa polls.

“Right after Gingrich explains why he served divorce papers to his wife while she was in the hospital with cancer?”

Seems to be racist let’s finish the quote.
i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action. I know many who fall into this group personally and they deserve credit—not as representatives of a racial group, but as decent people.”
The entire democratic party doesn’t fall into this group. We should change the statement to, 0% of democrats have sensible political opinions. That the letter points to a black poll doesn’t seem racist to me, seeing as a majority of blacks seem to support the democratic party.
“Regardless of what the media tell us, most white Americans are not going to believe that they are at fault for what blacks have done to cities across America. The professional blacks may have cowed the elites, but good sense survives at the grass roots. Many more are going to have difficulty avoiding the belief that our country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists—and they can be identified by the color of their skin.
Having white cops beat Rodney King sure didn’t help race relations . Of course now we could be referring to Arab or Persian Americans, and we would be fine with it. Let’s finish the quote.

Finally, “Commenting on a rise in AIDS infections, one newsletter said that ‘gays in San Francisco do not obey the dictates of good sense,’ adding: ‘[T]hese men don’t really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners.” Also, “they enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick.’”
I know that there isn’t much love lost on the gay population on these forums, but these statements are far from false. Is it in poor taste that they were actually written down for people to read, seeing as most of us actually agree with these statements?

I still find it funny, having Gingrich call Paul out on racism, when Gingrich wants poor black kids to clean public schools. And is for racial profiling.
Newt Gingrich – “We need a new policy of systematically going after terrorists that involves explicit profiling and explicit discrimination for behavior.”
Most whites are for this because we don’t look like terrorists, oh wait, you’re right Newt, Timothy McVeigh was white. I guess racial profiling for everyone.

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 11:42amRon Paul is who the mainstream media is against (FOX, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, etc.etc.) as well as the Republican National Committee. That means I am for him. Porter Stansberry commented on Ron Paul with these comments in his news letter today, “None of this might matter to you. You might not like Paul, either. Or you might not care, either way, who wins the Republican nomination for president. The truth is, I don’t much care, either… So why bother writing a Friday Digest about someone attacking Ron Paul?
I‘m pointing this out to you because it’s so easy to see that politics in our country is a charade. There’s no freedom of the press. There’s no real election. The whole thing is staged to appear like democracy and freedom. The reality is, our elections are about as free as Putin’s. The big money-backers of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party control everything. They own the media. They own the bureaucrats. And they own all the candidates – except for Paul. These people don‘t care whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat who wins… because they own both political parties.
I could tell six months ago that the next presidential election would feature Mitt Romney against Barack Obama. Or, as I like to say, it’ll be the white Obama versus the black Obama – the only difference is the color of their skin. In terms of their policies, who you vote for won’t make any difference. And that’s the only “choice” you’ll get.

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 11:55amYou may be unpleasantly surprised. Ron Paul is the only candidate that has a 17% block that follow him and do his bidding at every turn. Ron also absorbs the anti-war folks (which many are democrat). One or two terms of being isolationists may not be such a bad idea. Honestly, a little austerity and rebuilding at home is needed. I don’t like his Israel policy, but he is right that Israel can take care of themselves. In fact, they are probably more capable of taking care of themselves than we are of ourselves. Israel is not bound by political correctness… they know their neighbors hate them and they know what they must do to survive. I think in the end we would assist Israel, if Ron gets elected. We don’t really need all those bases out there. We have the biggest deterrent of them all. You attack us, we will shove a nuke right down your throat. Financially, Ron Paul is dead on… and all the other candidates and the pundits agree on that fact.

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 10:09amBy the way, the actual content of these newsletters is not very controversial at all. Have any of you read them? I have, and the views are little out there, but racist? I don’t see it very strongly. An observation of the actual differences between the races isn’t necessarily racism. And being ill-informed as to those differences also may not be racism. If I say young black men are fleet-footed, it’s hardly a smear against blacks. It may be right or it may be wrong, but it isn’t necessarily racist. If it is racist, then one would also have to accept that it is also sexist and also age-discrimination.

All this is very entertaining for Ron Paul supporters, because all it’s doing is making people go research Ron Paul. Once they see his actual record, it’s obvious this racism stuff is ridiculous, and now they realize everything else they’ve been hearing from the media is crap.

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 8:31pmI agree, Newt is the last person who should lecturing someone about their personal actions of the past. I find it interesting that a man that stated that he disliked the gotcha questions of the media is now doing it himself.
Letters explained:
For a brief period from about 1990-1994, a small number of newsletters were released sporadically which contained racially hateful and “homophobic” remarks.
This was during a time when Paul had relinquished responsibility for the newsletters’ operation, retired from Congress and an exhausting presidential campaign, and consigned himself to working full-time as a medical doctor and public speaker, in addition to raising five children.
A few objectionable issues managed to leak out under Paul’s nose, quite understandably. Paul did not then and does not now possess superhuman powers. Believe it or not, there were other things that were occupying him at the time. He didn’t have the ease of mind, the way some people apparently do, to devote his days to scanning the newsletters for the occasional rant against gays. Blaming him for this is ultimately like blaming him for comments on his Facebook wall.
The racist comments fly in the face of everything Paul has ever written and said, as many people who know him personally have attested. (Among whom include Rick Sincere, an openly gay libertarian whose run for Congress in 1993 Paul supported and helped collect funds for, at the same time the most hysterical of the newsletters

“In the theocon’s arguments last night, he cited Abraham Lincoln as saying that no state has the right to do wrong, as part of an argument that moral laws he supports should be mandatory on all US citizens, regardless of the tenth amendment, or their own state’s preferred policy. His specific quote was: “The states do not have the right to do wrong.” Santorum has used this quote before.”

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 11:40amOne of the claims, that he predicted a possible race war, has been realized. Philadelphia, Wisconsin, LA, Detroit, and the ongoing extreme racist voting record of black Americans, selling out even their own beliefs for nothing more than race. In LA, blacks literally destroyed the small shops run by Koreans. It was terrorism full-on. So the prediction did come true.
Just because no one wishes to label it as genocide, doesn‘t mean that it isn’t. In Philadelphia and Wisconsin, it was clearly attempted genocide.
It seems extreme to think that race war might develop in this day and age, but we need only look to Africa, the middle east, and America. It’s been going on for centuries. To try to stop it by first acknowledging it is the first step towards getting help for oneself.

He‘ll likely have that chance in upcoming debates so the honest among us can make up their own minds whether he’s telling the truth. The fact that these newsletters are coming out now, when they were public knowledge years ago only shows that he has a very strong chance to win the Republican nomination and the Republican establishment is desperate to deny him.
I think it’s hypocritical for Newt Gingrich of all people, who lectured endlessly during the debates about the “gotcha” questions, to now be playing gotcha with Ron Paul when Newt is sliding in the polls. Newt’s okay with playing gotcha, as long as he’s not the target of the question.

He‘s not okay with Israel being wiped off the map and he’s not okay with a weak military. He has consistently said he’s in favor of a strong national defense, he just doesn’t like militarism where we have 900 bases in 130 countries. He’s also a friend to Israel by wanting to leave them alone. Along with supporting Israel and sending them aid, we also are pretty arrogant to dictate to them what they should do about their feud with the Palestinians. Ron Paul wants to let Israel do what she wants. That seems like a pretty logical foreign policy, actually, and no it doesn’t mean he wants to see them wiped off the map.
Another thing we need to nip in the bud about all this Iran talk and that these guys are different, they’re jihadists, they want to martyr themselves. No they don’t. Ahmadijad, bin Laden, et al. don’t want to martyr themselves. They want to brainwash young Muslims to needlessly kill themselves to enrich and empower their “leaders”. So when we hear that Iran is different than the Soviets b/c they really would nuke us or Israel, I don’t buy it. The Muslim radicals controlling the Middle East are too drunk on power to want to get themselves killed.

They certainly can’t go after him on the issues because while people like Gingrich and Romney have been on every side of every issue, Ron Paul has been consistent through and through and more importantly he’s been RIGHT. Are some of the comments in those newsletters politically incorrect, or maybe even racist? Yeah, but does that sound like the Ron Paul we’ve known for the last four years campaigning for president? No. I believe him when he says the comments were written by someone else under his name. Apparently he published several newsletters while he was an OBGYN and didn’t keep good enough tabs on what was said in them. Actions speak louder than words anyway. Ron Paul is consistently against abortion, for instance. If someone is a real racist, they’d be pro-abortion because abortion disproportionately affects blacks more than any other race. The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a vile racist who viewed abortion as a way of exterminating the black race. I have a hard time believing that a guy who delivered over 4000 babies, is vehemently pro-life, and voted for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday is somehow a racist. If this is all Newt has, he must be getting pretty desperate.

One newsletter ridiculed black activists who wanted to rename New York City after King, suggesting that ‘Welfaria,’ ‘Zooville,’ ‘Rapetown,’ ‘Dirtburg,’ and ‘Lazyopolis’ were better alternatives.

The libertarian position on drug use is very principled. Ron Paul said that obviously he doesn’t want people using harmful drugs, but at the same time as a free people we should have the right to put whatever we want in our bodies, as long as we take responsibility for our actions and don’t expect a government handout when we screw up. We allow the murder of unborn children because a woman “can do what she wants with her body”, even though there is another life affected, but we can’t do drugs even if they only affect our body? That doesn’t make sense. We saw what happened when the government tried to constitutionally prohibit the consumption of alcohol, didn’t we? We had gangs and violence because the fact that alcohol was illegal made it a profitable black market industry. How much violence do we see over the sale of alcohol? If we want to stop the violence on the border of Mexico we’d make drugs legal, let them be sold on the up and up in USA, drug stores, liquor stores, whatever, and let states regulate the legal age to use them and the penalties for providing them to minors, etc. Notice how whenever we go to war against something we lose? Poverty, drugs, etc. They all get worse when our federal government declares war on them.

[…] a man, not having the power of his own life, cannot, by compact, or his own consent, enslave himself to any one, nor put himself under the absolute, arbitrary power of another, to take away his life, when he pleases. No body can give more power than he has himself; and he that cannot take away his own life, cannot give another power over it […] But though this be a state of liberty, yet it is not a state of licence: though man in that state have an uncontroulable liberty to dispose of his person or possessions, yet he has not liberty to destroy himself […]

It comes from a dealer ripping off a customer or a customer robbing someone to pay for the drugs, which are inflated in price because they’re illegal. This is what I’m talking about. We have this war on drugs and we’re losing. As long as there is a demand for the drugs, someone will provide them. It can either be honest businessmen that are regulated by their state and local governments or it can be vicious drug cartels from Mexico and Central/South America.
Do you think we’d have nearly the violence we have on the southern border if drugs were legal and sold in America transparently?

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 9:01am> SAVAGE. Prohibition in the US, much maligned by libertarians and Paul supporters, was not such a failure. It had many good results: consumption of alcohol declined substantially, as did the cirrhosis death rate for men (cut by two-thirds between 1911 and 1929), and arrests for public drunkenness dropped 50 per cent between 1919 and 1922. I could go on, but you can do the research yourself. Can’t do everything for you folks.

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 9:23am> SAVAGE. According to official estimates SAVAGE, marijuana constitutes 60 percent of cartels’ drug profits. Legalization according to you and others would move that trade into the open market, driving down the price and undermining the cartels’ power and influence right? Unfortunately SAVAGE, it’s not that easy. Marijuana legalization alone (not to mention harders drugs) as an example, would do little to hinder the long-term economics of the cartels and the violent toll they take on Mexican society and continued violence leaching into American society.
Legalization would deliver only short-term hit to the cartels… if drug trafficking were the only activity that cartels were engaged in. But cartels derive a growing slice of their income from other illegal activities. Most experts on organized crime (especially in that region) say that cartels earn just half their income from drugs.
Plus, there’s no reason the cartels couldn’t enter the legal market for the sale of marijuana, as organized crime groups did in the United States after the repeal of Prohibition.
Savage, check out all the other rackets Mexican Cartels are involved like theft of oil, pirated goods, continued kidnappings for $$ etc. It’s unlikely that Mexican cartels would close up shop in the event of legalization, even if it meant a serious drop in profits from their most successful product. The war on drugs is also a war on Cartels. I like that war, it‘s good for America’s interests.

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 12:24pmI think that alot of folks are gonna be in for a surprise. Look the problem is the G.O.P keeps pushin us left. We want Santorum types. The more they push us the harder i think alot of people don’t trust them. Hence the rise of Paul. Have you looked at Drudge today? Do you really think Paul is a racist? Or someone that sees, which way this country is headed? Why do so many in the military support him? I’m tired of lying fools and posers. I don’t agree with everything he says, but i don’t think he is capable of lying. just my opinion.

Just by this action alone we know Gingrich is part of the same machine that put this country where it is right now. Gingrich…the other Clinton.
