Hey Guys, News Flash!!!
Racist Newsletters attributed to Dr Paul DEBUNKED!!!
Finally an investigative reporter took this issue on and investigated it.
About two weeks ago I stated that this needed to be done, if they are connected to Dr Paul he needs to own them and take responsibility.
Dr Paul has rejected them and denied his involvement, that hasn't satisfied most liberals who have launched a campaign of accusing Dr Paul of being a closet RACIST.
Here we GOOOO!!!
ALL 240 of his newsletters are available for inspection! they have been inspected!
here is the link
www.youtube.com/watch?v=95CagSkXZYc&feature=player_embedded
In fact they know who was responsible for editing the newsletter when they were wrote AND WHO WROTE THEM!
Guess what? Dr Paul was telling the truth!!
I bet that is going to stick in some people's craw, but anyone that is reasonable cannot attribute this to Dr Paul any longer.
I guess we are going to find out just who the racists really are now!
Thanks for the link Egilman:) It's nice when you can find something that isn't trying to blow more bs up your skirt..
Thank god some journalist still seek truth:)
~Ron Paul 2012~
I'm on your side, but that link doesn't debunk anything. James B Powell is the bylined author that James Kirchick failed to mention, which he did recently due to pressure. It doesn't state who did the editing or if Paul knew anything. But it did prompt Kirchick to release the one name. The whole story hasn't come out yet, but I think we'll find out the entire truth when all is said and done.
THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT I SPOKE OF. Hopefully, you shall not take down this response before enough Americans have seen it!
Did you think if you couched this in the umbrella, 'REALITY CHECK', Americans would be too trusting or too lazy to find out who reality check is.
Reagan taught; TRUST BUT VERIFY - and that's what's led to this discovery. We trust you are speaking the truth when campaigning. HOW DARE YOU PULL A FAST ONE LIKE THIS? How dare you insult us thus?
Other candidates have SUPER PACKS, this ... Ron Paul has 'Reality Check?'
I shall not demonstrate the link but if you carry on these lies, YOU SHALL BE EXPOSED!!!
Shame on you Ron Paul. Swift boating flipped? Now you are trying to re-write history to get you out of a sticky situation?
You make the choice to lie to us before you are president what shall you do to us when you are president?
Beside your rant,
You haven't answered the question, WHO is reality Check?
Local Cincinatti Fox affiliate out of Ohio... runs a local investigative reporting journal penned by a young journalist named Ben Swann, segments usually run on the evening news.
It is done independently by Ben with the support of the local station only and is not a shill for MSM, therefor the information in this type of broadcast is usually a LOT more accurate than national reporting.
Seems to me like the "Swift Boating" of Dr Paul was done years ago and is just now being exposed. If this is all that is there, then just about everyone could be called a racist. Hell, the President has said more inflammatory things on national TV during his term than are contained within those newsletters for goodness sake and that's only if your opinion considers them inflammatory. Actually, as racism, they are pretty tame, more along the lines of badly worded rather than actually racist.
You wacko liberals (and there are some of you out there, no offense to my liberal friends) really do pop a gasket when your delusions are burst don't you?
Have a nice day!
Wonder if any of the other candidates woke up this morning and realized that Mitt Romney is ahead in the polls and he is the one on whom they should focus their attention.
I certainly hope so Jody...
Looks like it. Romney is such a pompous ass
12 minutes and they're still discussing who is most electable.
GBM, he certainly is. That twitchy smile is still glued on his face.
Yeah, nothing to really say, the moderation stinks right now.
Looks as if they did wake up and realize Romney is ahead and should be their target.
18 minutes in and it's been the Mittens show....
But Jody, it would be nice if they gave the other candidates a chance to respond...
We know none of these guys are Barack Obama and will never even come close. Why dont they just tell us what their plans will be and how they plan to help the country. I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I that's all I hear besides the chest thumping
GBM, so true. Once again there is almost no mention of the middle class and working poor, it's all "chest thumping, I I I I" and about how those millionaires will create jobs so don't touch their money. Talk about being out of touch with America.
Good Morning Ladies,
While the GNOP freak show continues...
Let's take a moment for some reflection...
It was one year ago today Gaby Giffords was shot, 6 innocent Americans lost their lives (including a 9 year old girl), and 11 others wounded...
Good Morning Feisty!
That was definitely a sad moment in our history
Good morning Feisty, that was a terrible day and I hope that she will continue to improve.
The loss to the other families can never improve and will remain painful for a very long time.
Good Morning to you too Egilman! ;o)
Gingerbread Mamma - that day is a dark stain on this country, which will never be removed... ;o(
There was a nice article in yesterday's paper commemorating that awful day in Tucson. I cannot imagine what it must have been like for Gabby Giffords to attend the ceremony, that had to be an emotional roller coaster for her having survived such horrific wounds.
Decidedly the revitalize Romney's image debate, I don't think it worked...
The internet poll on last nights debate is saying that Dr Paul won last night...
Santorum REALLY slammed Mitts on electability... OUCH!
He sure did.
Good, I hope they continue to slam each other. :)
serve washington???
Yeah, he really does remind me of Nixon. Jon Hunstman is the most reasonable and I like him, he just stuck it to Romney. David Gregory is doing a pretty good job, asking the questions they didn't ask last night
GBM, Huntsman is the most reasonable and presidential of them all but because he served as US Ambassador to China for President Obama, most republicans have dismissed him. Can't believe he still supports the Ryan plan, though, which actually increases the deficit and the debt.
Well, Romney responds to question about raising taxes on millionaires with questioning who knows more about taxes and the economy, Grover or Warren Buffett. I'd say Warren Buffett but then I didn't sign King Grover's Pledge.
Jody, that was a surprise to me too.
Actually it was deflecting the question since he didn't have a real answer.
I know it was deflection, it's what Romney and most of the others do best, just like their counterparts on First Read.
gingrich slams "high paid Washington commentators", but he forgot to add high paid Washington lobbyists like himself.
Why does mitts saying no to more taxes sound so much to me like Bush saying "No New Taxes"
Northstar, made him sound jealous. Newt is still blaming the media, why not go after Romney's millions. The media didn't create the economic crisis, republicans did.
Didn't Newton also serve as a commentator for Rupert's boys?
Da Noid, absolutely Newt did.
im a middle wage earner. i wish they all would be asked their net worth b4 they say they know how i feel
I wish someone would tell Romney to wipe that pained 'smile' off his face, he is so artificial.
David Gregory has been a good moderator so far. Hard hitting but fair. Questions hitting from both the left and right .
Of course, anyone would look good after that embarassing performance last night by the ABC "moderator", partisan liberal flack turned faux journalist at ABC, George Stephanopolos.
Bob, I hope I don't get struck by lightening, I agree with you!
WOW is he really that crazy? the Spending is overseas on military budgets and foreign aid you idiot!
Huntsman is singing my song on term limits, how I would love to see that happen, never, when the rabbit is in charge of the lettuce
he is definitely taking advantage of what little time he is getting..
Perry thinks that if he just yells louder that people will stop noticing that he's not smart enough to actually answer the questions he's being asked.
Mitt would really know what it is like to be poor no matter the State...not
very Mitts centric moderation here.
I honestly do not think Mitt knows what he believes on any issue, he just knows what he's supposed to believe at this point in time.
Yep he's a complete tool no question about it..
Poor Perry. They tease him by going to him after the gay rights question, but change the topic.
Seems as if none of the candidates are answering the questions. They spend 10 seconds on it and pivot to something irrelevant.
Your right Jody, nothing is really being said...
Here we go, Romney wants to go back to the exact same policies that created the economic meltdown, and he is lying with every word. There's not a shred of fact in his comment, just ideological rhetoric.
We need that whipped cream pie in the face for Romney again.
Right on Dr Paul! You tell him who is actually getting the entitlements!
You like how the moderator cut him off when he got to the corporate entitlements?
Ron Paul is definitely right about "corporate entitlements", he gets a cheer on that.
Rick Perry said President Obama "is a socialist". Gotta get one of those communist, socialist, fascist, Kenyan colonialist remarks in there for the fools who applaud wildly.
Ron Paul talks about liberty. Why is it all the GOPTPers call everything "entitlements" and put it into the context of taking from one group to give to another. That's stupid. Our founding fathers established the progressive tax code because they felt those who had more should pay more. Social security and medicare are not "entitlements", we individual taxpayers contribute to them during our working years; we pay a monthly medicare insurance premium just as we pay a private insurance premium. Helping the less fortunate is not taking from one group to give to another, it is called compassion, it is called caring for one another and the Bible teaches it.
Will add to my comment that Paul is exactly right about corporate entitlements, I was referring to the idea of helping people with food aid, helping the disabled, helping seniors with health care and a minimum retirement income, etc. Corporate entitlements provide breaks to companies which do not need a break. There are times when subsidies make sense particularly in developing new technologies but once those businesses become profitable or fail, those subsidies should disappear (tax breaks for big oil make no sense today because they are highly profitable).
Founders never established a progressive tax code.
Jody, our Founding Fathers most certainly DID NOT establish the progressive tax code. Good lord, don't liberals know anything?
After being struck down as unConstitutional five times, Woodrow Wilson had congress ram through an amendment to the Constitution establishing a progressive income tax.
Founding Fathers indeed.
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords made a surprise return to the Tucson grocery store where she was wounded in a deadly mass shooting on January 8 last year.
This morning, we are subjected to another GOP debate and to form, they continue to play to the gallery particularly Romney!
These are intelligent people vying for the role of leader of the nation in a manner that quite frankly even 3rd world dictators would pass on.
Appealing to the fears of those with dodgey information sources {i didn't say black people- santorum = umm don't you know the video exists? Would you like an independent scientific analysis of the video to refresh your memory - Even O'Reilly, O'Reilly of all people squirmed!!!}
... to widespread belief (Bandwagon Arguments, 'socialism', peer pressure, president unamerican etc, the President (because of his colour - why won't the real analysts stand up for him and present the REAL RESULTS of his presidency?) claiming as evidence for an idea, that many people believe it, or used to believe it, or do it or whilst out campaigning, they approached a voter who then gave them a respresentation of the public sentiment.
Presiedent Obama has kept this fragile union ticking along much to his own derision and esteem. How he gets up each day to face a world that reviles him, he is a much bigger man i wish i could become.
When the congresswoman was struck was a dark day in our history. He calmed the situation with his speech. A year on, we are looking at the same people that nurtured the psyche that drove that man to do what he did!
What are we doing? Perry just said he thinks the president is a 'socialist' This is the same man with a home called 'ni*g$erhead'?
Ron Paul just stated very clearly that he believes that there is no such thing as a positive right.
Actually Nathan he said there are rights, they are named in the constitution, healthcare is not a right. Lets not misquote him...
He said the only right is liberty. In ethics and philosophy, rights are generally divided into two categories: positive (e.g. a "right to life") and negative (e.g. "a right to liberty"). Ron Paul did dismiss all positive rights by his statements, and that is the consistent position for a libertarian. It makes a mockery of his own views on abortion and religion, though.
Huntsman is playing the centrist card. Is that even fair in a Republican debate? /s
The U.S. is currently exporting refined fuels at historic levels. Americans have cut their demand on oil supplies. If supply and demand dictates prices then why aren't fuel prices lower?
Today's secret word is "SPECULATION". Remember, when anyone says the secret word, scream real loud!
Great question from Gregory about how it is we coiuld live with a nuclear Soviet Union, a nuclear North Korea but we can't live with a nuclear Iran.
Excellent Question, none of them have given a good answer I would like to hear Dr Pauls answer
santorum just went off the lunacy chart on foreign relations...
