Ron Paul Denies Writing Signed Letter On “Coming Race War”

Dec 23, 2011 11 Comments ›› Pat Dollard

Ron Paul’s campaign tells TPM that the presidential candidate did not write a signed direct mail piece in 1993 aimed at attracting subscribers to his newsletter by warning of a “coming race war” and a “federal-homosexual cover-up on AIDS.”

“Dr. Paul did not write that mail piece and disavows its content,” spokesman Jesse Benton said in an e-mail.

Earlier, Paul’s Iowa chair Drew Ivers told Reuters, who first posted the direct mail piece online, that Paul took responsibility for content bearing his signature even if he likely does not “embrace” some of the letter’s more extreme views. But Benton said that Ivers was not in a position to comment.

“Drew Ivers is a great guy and leader, but he was not speaking on behalf of the campaign and is not acquainted enough with the issue to have the facts,” Benton said.

Well, he certainly is being vetted. A good thing. Make sure the vetting also includes a complete search for a direct quote from Ron Paul saying anything racist. The exact opposite is what you will find – praise and defense of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks, for example. Campaigning against the drug laws that unjustly imprison simple marijuana users for victim-less and non-violent “crimes”. 1 in 20 black people in the US is imprisoned under those laws.
Only something a racist would do, of course. Obama, the “man of change” meanwhile continues to support this black oppression. Words are cheap. Who is the real racist? Just look at who is in the prisons and who keeps them there.

Please provide evidence of a kind statement directed toward Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King.

Then refute his letter stating that “95% of blacks are criminals”

(SPEAKING IN CONGRESS) – RON PAUL: “Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 573. At the same time, I rise in great respect for the courage and high ideals of Rosa Parks who stood steadfastly for the rights of individuals against unjust laws and oppressive governmental policies. However, I oppose the Congressional Gold Medal for Rosa Parks Act because authorizing $30,000 of taxpayer money is neither constitutional nor, in the spirit of Rosa Parks who is widely recognized and admired for standing up against an overbearing government infringing on individual rights.Because of my continuing and uncompromising opposition to appropriations not authorized within the enumerated powers of the Constitution, I must remain consistent in my defense of a limited government whose powers are explicitly delimited under the enumerated powers of the Constitution–a Constitution, which only months ago, each Member of Congress, swore to uphold.Perhaps we should begin a debate among us on more appropriate processes by which we spend other people’s money. Honorary medals and commemorative coins, under the current process, come from allocated other people’s money. We should look for another way.It is, of course, easier to be generous with other people’s money.”

Ron Paul says he did not write that statement, disavows it and takes moral responsibility for neglecting to monitor every word of the newsletters and prevent these statement from being published.
