Is Ron Paul Changing His Story on What He Knew About Those Newsletters?

GOP candidate Ron Paul is again under fire for incendiary racial statements mailed out under his name in the late 1980s and 1990s, though a past interview appears to be at odds with the Texas congressman’s most recent declaration that he knew nothing about the inflammatory comments at the time.
On Wednesday, the Texas congressman walked out of a CNN interview after correspondent Gloria Borger asked him about the content of the newsletters, which were called “Ron Paul’s Political Report,“ ”Ron Paul’s Freedom Report,“ the ”Ron Paul Survival Report“ and the ”Ron Paul Investment Letter.” When the issue was raised in 2008, Paul said he didn’t write everything that appeared in the newsletters, though they bore his name.
Among some of the writings were statements that said, “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“ and ”If you’ve ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how unbelievably fleet of foot they can be.”
Paul denied Wednesday having written the statements, and said he didn’t know about them at the time.
“It’s 22 years ago. I didn‘t write ’em, I disavow ‘em, that’s it,” he told CNN. “I never read that stuff, I was probably aware of it 10 years after it was written.”
But those statements appear to be at odds with comments Paul made to the Dallas Morning News in 1996 when he was running for Congress and defended the writings, saying they were taken out of context.
“These aren’t my figures,” Paul said of the statement that 95 percent of the black males in D.C. are criminals. “That is the assumption you can gather” from a 1992 study from a criminal justice think tank.
He similarly did not refute the “fleet of foot” statement, which also appeared in 1992.
“If you try to catch someone that has stolen a purse from you, there is no chance to catch them,” he told the newspaper.
And in a 1995 interview with C-SPAN, unearthed by Andrew Kaczynski, Paul discussed his 10-year hiatus from Congress and what he had been doing in the private sector, among them putting together “a political type of business investment newsletter” — touting it three years after those statements appeared.
“It covered a lot about what was going on in Washington, and financial events, and especially some of the monetary events,” Paul said. “Since I had been especially interested in monetary policy, had been on the banking committee, and still very interested in, in that subject, that this newsletter dealt with it.”
Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey observed, “For a man who now says that he didn’t pay any attention to the newsletters published under his own name for years, he certainly seems to be pretty conversant with its contents in 1995.”

Posted on December 22, 2011 at 8:30pmHere is just one quote from that article: “…I looked for a speech or presentation that contained racist rhetoric. Where is his Sally Kern style “..blacks are lazy” moment? Where is the moment where like Joe Biden, he says that “…”You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.”? Where is his outrageously racist quote similar to those we can find from Senator Byrd, Governor Wallace or even Hilary Clinton’s now famous “Ghandi” quote? I can’t even find a public Truman-esque “God does hate the Chinese and Japs” meltdown. With the way he‘s described I’d at least expect to hear something akin to the famous “…(God) created the white man. I know not who created the blacks” quote from Theodore Bilbo but I haven’t found it. If Ron Paul is as racist as some in the media implies, I would think there would be a few Freudian slips from Mr. Paul. Yet there don’t seem to be any that I can find.”

What are you saying, exactly? Maybe non-whites possess the mental acuity to think for themselves. Have you considered that? Do you possess that same ability to think for yourself? I wonder. You aren’t a racist are you?
Tell me, which plank of the republican party platform is Ron Paul not following? I wasn’t aware of a war-mongering plank, but I could be wrong. Judging by the positions of the other candidates, I might very well be wrong about that one, but war mongering’s in both parties.
Maybe there’s an obscure “blowing the big banksters” plank I wasn’t aware of. How about you, Rational Man? Do you like blowing the big banksters? Is it yummy?

Posted on December 22, 2011 at 3:52pm“……when these original allegations came to light back during Ron Paul’s 1996 Congressional run, his defense was absolutely not that he didn’t write them or know what was in them; his defense was that he was being taken out of context. He defended the comments on their merits. His campaign spokesman literally said that the problem was that the media was too intellectual to understand them. Yes, well, admittedly some people miss the intellectual nuance in statements like “If you have ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how unbelievably fleet of foot they can be” (a statement which Paul specifically defended when questioned by the media).
Apparently, Paul did not change his story on these newsletters until 2001, when he started to tell people that maybe the racist remarks in his newsletter were not okay and he in fact did not write them. When asked why he did not just say that in the first place, Paul responded that he felt like he had a “moral responsibility” for these words since they were published in his name (and presumably since he profited from them). Suppose we believe this story – what has happened since then to change that?

Posted on December 22, 2011 at 9:03pmPaul did not write this crap that is all over the establishment news, but in your post you put: “Paul responded that he felt like he had a “moral responsibility” for these words since they were published in his name. ” Paul knows he did not write this crap and does not adhere to what was written, but he still shows that he is an honorable man by this statement. Could you be that honorable in this situation?

I really wish people like you would get informed about serious issues and stop using hysterics and personal attacks to debase people. I’ve tried to be civil. I’ve called you names in the past but I wont do it anymore.
Again I find it pretty ironic that someone that identifies with the tea party and has had to face ridiculous charges of racism, I’m sure, is now clinging so dearly to such tactics.

No one thinks Paul is a savior at all. We just realize all the others aren’t honest and are all out for themselves..
You can‘t find fault with Ron Paul’s Constitutional stance so you insult us and mock us…
I would rather blindly follow someone standing for the Constitution than become a negative liar blindly following someone who wants to destroy the Constitution and rule the world….
You are just as equally blindly following all the Ron Paul haters…Your cult is a hate cult…Ron’s is about Liberty….

Posted on December 22, 2011 at 3:08pmSo you are going to put neoconservatives (those who didn‘t agree with the liberal hippie movement of the 60’s) in the same group as MSM/ barack? Have you no clue as to who the enemy is? You and your fellow paullies would risk barack having another 4 years to totally destroy our constitution? If Ron gets the nomination, sure , he’ll have my vote. I can deal with the nutty professor before that commie pos. But paullies would vote for barack if Ron doesnt get the nomination.

Posted on December 22, 2011 at 9:22pmJL, you are just showing that you are in fact a neoconservative, just as bad as Obama. You are all Progressives and cannot be part of the Tea Party. I will not vote for a Progressive again in my whole entire life. I did that too much in the past and feel angry at myself for not waking up sooner. I always thought is was the Democrats. I was wrong. Many Republicans are much worse thatn some Democrats. This is something everyone needs to understand and quit just voting party line as though their party has all the answers. Paul is, and always has been a Republican, except for running on a Libertarian ticket in the 80′s. He is still a Republican and as far as I can see, the most Conservative of all who are running.
