Gingrich Attacks Ron Paul on Controversial Newsletters

7 months of campaigning and the media brings up 15 – 20 year old newsletters days before the first primary? Just after a very positive interview on the Tonight Show? Ron Paul has addressed these questions numerous times. Let’s get back to the issues. According to a CNN poll released this week the number 1 concern for the American people is the economy. Let’s talk about that.

Gingrich challenging Ron Paul’s integrity? Please. What a joke.

What a non-issue… Paul has disavowed it completely.

Moving on, which candidate has the best plan to fix the ECONOMY??? Paul has proposed $1 trillion in cuts the first year and the elimination of the income tax to stimulate growth, paid for by reducing our military empire.

And the others??? More of the same! In fact, even MORE wars!

NAACP president came out and defended Ron Paul,
saying it was a smear campaign by media because the establishment feels threatened.

Ron Paul is a joke candidate. He has his head in the clouds. He is the most unfit person to run for president. To allow Ron Paul continue his charade, reflects all that is wrong with America. This man promoted racist slurs for decades and made a lot of money doing so. And now, he feigns ignorance about the authorship of those materials that made him a millionaire over and over. What a pathetic liar. Ron Paul, if you were man enough to publish those incendiary and overtly racist materials (and make money from them) you should be man enough to won up to them. Hypocrites like Ron Paul are serial predators, preying on gullible youths who see him as messiah. He should hide his head in shame and ignominy. What a shameless old man.

Well, Ron Paul needs to come clean on this issue.

If he didn’t know about the racist statements in his newsletter, then he was not being very diligent. Some people might not vote for him for that reason alone. If he truly wasn’t aware of the statements, it’s time he tell us who wrote them and why.

There actually may be something else going on here. Whether it was Ron Paul or someone else who wrote the racist comments, it might have been done to increase the number of white (racist) subscriptions to the newsletter. In other words, whoever wrote the comments, may not have been racist at all.

Regardless, this is Ron Paul’s thorn (in his side) and it’s painful for all of us.

He didn’t write them .. he disavows them .. end of story. To get the REAL story Google this sentence:

Ron Paul’s “Racist Newsletters” Debunked Once And For All !

Please don’t let the “Lame stream media” fool you. Ron Paul is our last hope .. the “Lame stream media” will do what their Big Boss 1% tells them to do to throw Ron Paul and the 99% under the bus .. don’t let it happen, we are too close and we are smarter than that .. let us proceed accordingly .. Vote for Ron Paul 2012 !!

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
- Mohandas Gandhi

laughable,

congress can pass trillion dollar bills without even being present, yet Ron is supposed to know about every line or sentence written by a ghost writer? Wow, this country screwed up!

Newt and the mainstream media is trying to divert all the positive attention Ron Paul has with these silly newsletters. Ron Paul has addressed this issue on numerous occasions, it’s a waste of time now, the steam has blown out. The best thing we can do now, is ignore these news articles for now on. These people writing these things are just trying to get attention.

Newt is a piece of crap. Who cares what he has to say?

Gingrich criticizing Paul on being morally bent, that’s rich.

The fact that a newsletter attributed to Ron Paul containing racist statements was published for a number of years is disturbing, even more so than the fact that Obama was a member of a congregation with a racist pastor. Obama acknowledged the issue and we move on. Paul needs to deal with this more candidly than he has recently.
What I find more disturbing is a presidential candidate who has taken a position in 2011 that inner city youth need to be provided jobs mopping floors and cleaning toilets to divert them from careers as pimps and drug dealers. That current position needs more clarification than Paul’s irresponsible actions 20 years ago.

Gingrich challenging anybody on moral or behavioral issues is like being preached to by a hooker on the virtues of chastity.

Wow Gingrich criticizing Ron Paul. The Gingrich who divorced his wife while she was dying in the hospital and who profitted millions of dollars off of the bailouts from the taxpayers money. Wow.

Actually it was Newt McPherson that was a ghost writer for Ron Paul!

Ron Paul’s positions are the most anti-racist of the whole GOP field; therefore I highly doubt he’s capable of being racist.

This is equivalent to a desperation “Hail Mary” pass by Gingrich! After dredging the swamp, this is what he has come up with, 20 year old newsletters written by some else?
Let’s talk about Ron Paul’s 22 year consistent voting record of following the Constitution, NEVER voting for an unbalanced budget, and NEVER voting for a Congressional pay raise. Talk about that Newt. Newt has so many skeleton’s in his closet that they scare even him! Ron Paul has been married to the same women for 52 years, has 5 children, one of which is the junior U.S. Senator from Kentucky, Dr. Rand Paul. Talk about that also Nest, please.

I am NOT a republican. I WOULD have voted for Dr. Paul in 2008. I was totally frustrated that he was basically never heard from after the first debate. I am very glad to see him still in the running this time around. Note to those who will be choosing who America gets to vote for in 2012. I am Not a republican! I WILL vote for Dr. Paul if given the choice!

It’s obvious that those in power don’t want Dr. Paul in the white house. It seems he might be able to disrupt their agenda. That is just what America needs NOW!

I would love to see America rally behind him and get him to the white house before it’s too late.

Google: “NAACP President: Ron Paul is not a racist”. Austin NAACP president, who has known Ron Paul for 20 years, says Ron Paul is being smeared because he is a threat to the establishment.

Newt has no integrity. He wanted Clinton impeached for lying about cheting on hillary while he was cheating on his wife. Serial Hypocrit. Paul dealt with this issue already so why keep bringing it up? Fox news has finally stopped bringing up the issue because it is irrevelant. Other organizations keep brining this up because he is a threat to CNN, MSNBC, CBS and ABC and every establishment politician if Americans are given the chance to consider Pul’s views. In one new letter not written by Paul but under his name says that MLK day is “Hate Whitey Day.” Paul obviously didn’t write these because he voted for MLK Day. People like Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz should be ashamed of themselves for trying to convince their viewers that Paul is racists just because it would benefit them and the people they are puppets for. And for people who think some of Pauls positions on certain bills are racist are inherently wrong because Pual is a libertarian which by definition means they can’t be racist and they treat everyone equally.

The Newt Gingrich 2012 presidential campaign is a rotting pile of steaming filth. If you walk into any American Wal-Mart today and ask an American citizen, “Will you vote for Newt Gingrich in 2012?” Less than 5% of your audience will respond with a sure fire, yes. The Newt Gingrich campaign has been entrenched into American mindsets through subversive, orchestrated news coverage, not popularity. Newt Gingrich is today’s GOP front runner, but not because Democracy chose him, because Aristocracy chose him.

Newt Gingrich has skeletons of all sorts in his closet and not just in his personal relationships either, he carries his malice onto the American people. Newt Gingrich, a longtime fiscal conservative, who labels himself as a man of the people, was cited for a $500,000 credit line at Tiffanys just last year. The store is a high end designer jewelry retailer in New York, a place where most Americans could not afford a bracelet. Newt Gingrich has been cited several times for creating his immense wealth through fraudulent use of non-profit organizations, political action committees and tax dollars. Often a harsh critic of taxes on the richest 1% of America, ironically Newt Gingrich has been caught several times misusing ear marks, tax exemptions and SuperPacs himself, in order to fund his personal campaigns and agendas.

Hah! Talk about the pot calling the kettle RACIST!!!

Good one Gingrich!

Is this the same Newt that said the only work experience black kids had was in illegal activities?

It’s funny having Gingy go after Paul about racism when you look at the original vote regarding the creation of the national holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. If you pull up the record of the Congressional vote, it was Paul who voted “Aye” while Gingrich voted against it.

In 1979 Ron Paul voted yes for the MARTIN LUTHER KING HOLIDAY…

Who voted NO?

1. Newt Gingrich 2. Dick Cheney 3. Phil Graham 4. Trent Lott

I trust this issue will get vented if Ron Paul is to become President.

I have yet to know of a politician that can bring me out of my voter abstinance (not apathy). Not much has changed since the first and last time that I voted. Politicians are not interested in solving problems; on the contrary, since our entire global economic (more like anti-economic if we stick to the term’s definition) system thrives on creating more problems. All politicians, whether they know it or not, like it or not, are, and have always been, puppets to the elite. Our traditions and lacking of non-conventional thinking support the elite. We’ve become so conditioned to accept and succomb to the elite, degrading them and ourselves in the process. No small wonder why the “Powers That Be” have the power that they have – we humans, collectively, are that stupid.

Wow Huma Khan. Ron Paul is the one candidate who won’t bomb the middle east and here you are taking the side of the military industrial complex aka Newt Gingrich

Newt Voted against Martin Luther King Jr being a holiday Ron Paul voted for it. Ron Paul went to Vietnam when he was drafted Newt got Defered Twice. Newt wants to continue bombing brown babies in the war on terror while throwing black babies in prison with the war on drugs. and they want to call Ron Paul racist?? get real.

These accusations will only motivate Paul’s supports that much more. It brings about a certain anger because we all know they’re false. Ron Paul’s philosophy is antithetical to racism. He has adequately explained these things on numerous occasions, but he is still demonized.

But the fact of the matter is this is an effort by the media machine to destroy Paul’s efforts at the presidency. We all know that CBS, Viacom, News Corp, Tim Warner, Disney, and General Electric own the media. This is all contrived. He poses a threat to those in power. He presents a threat to the identical, status-quo Democratic and Republican parties. These parties of course present the illusion of the left/right paradigm. They are however two wings of the same bird. They are pro-globalist, pro-big government, pro-war, and anti-American.

The American people are waking up.

You guys pretty much got it covered here in the comment section! But I saw this one really annoying statement written by someone who presupposes to know far more than he actually does… that someone being “Benkonof”.

According to “Benkonof”, Ron Paul isn’t a viable presidential option because “he believes the earth is 6,000 years old.” Aside from the extremely inplausible possibility of being some sort of psychic, the only rational presumption is that what drove this person to say something so foolish is a fundamental misunderstanding of the bible and the Judeo-Christian Heritage.

So clearly and concisely, to set the record straight for a while before another fool comes in and attempts to twist it once more:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
–Whoa now slow down, I know you’ve seen this before but I doubt you’ve really seen it. According to this verse, when was the earth created? The same time heaven was created. But beyond that, when exactly was the earth created? IN THE BEGINNING. It doesn’t say 6,000 years ago, nor does it say 3.5 billion years ago, it says that Earth was created IN THE BEGINNING.

“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” (Genesis 1:2)
–Hopefully you’ve read this more carefully and considered what’s written. When was the earth formless and empty, before or after it’s creation? Don’t think too hard or you’ll miss the simplicity of it. Could the earth be formless and empty BEFORE even being created? Or in other words, had the earth not already been created it wouldn’t be considered either formless nor empty… it wouldn’t be considered at all, because it wouldn’t exist.

Understanding that many of you agnostics and atheists have no interest in understanding what the bible really says, or what true Christian’s really believe, I write this only to defend one simple truth:

Ron Paul is smarter than you think.

This article is of course completely lame, but at least ABC has the integrity (thus far) to keep comments enabled. Not so for the New York Times. Apparently, Gingrich is in favor of censoring his opponents supporters now.

Paul published these newsletters over a 20-year period. They had his name on them and often his byline and spoke of his personal experiences. What’s more, he owned them and made money off them from 1979-2001. To pretend he knew nothing about them is ludicrous.

If he really didn’t approve of what was being written he could have stopped the newsletters at any time.

Anyone with half a brain knows racist Paul as president will only bring all the white troops home from Afghanistan and all those military bases and make the black troops stay and fight for the empire, like a slave army. Same for latinos and Asians, they gotta stay too. And defend the empire.

The same with Paul working to remove the necessity for an income tax. Yeah, for white people only. Blacks, latinos, and Asians will still have to pay an income tax when white people no longer have to by law.

The same with Paul and his pledge to end the drug ‘war.’ He’d only spring non-violent white people in jail for possession and use. And leave all blacks, latinos, and Asians who smoked dope or did coke and got caught to rot in jail. And probably throw more blacks, latinos, and Asians in jail who smoke dope or do coke because with all the white people gone there would be more room for them in jail.

Like I said, people with HALF a brain know these things to be true.

The rest of us with a whole brain know Paul’s not a racist.

Gingrich is down to Pull My Finger to try and get some attention. And most knew he would reach that point in short order.

Gingrich is one to talk ,, He voted against MLK day and Ron Paul voted for it! Whos the real racist?

why didn’t ron paul sue those who were using his name without his approval? ron paul is an educated physician, who knows about malpractice laws and law in general, so why didn’t he sue them? if anyone uses your name in such a way as to soil your reputation, wouldn’t you sue? ron paul is denying his involvement but his silence then is deafening, not to mention his silence now. if there is a possibility now, he should sue those who used his name on those letters. it’s a good thing the media discovered those letters and brought them to the attention of the public, people need to know these things before they cast their vote. a leopard doesn’t change its spots, just saying. if ron paul is innocent, he should sue or at the very least take a lie detector test.

I don’t think Gingrich has a leg to stand on. He told a gay person just the other day to vote for Obama and he said that Palestinians are an invented people, sort of like a robot. I don’t think that the newsletters are the issue. The issue is the desperation of the Main Street Media and the Republican Party for bringing up this garbage that will not lose one vote from Ron Paul supporters. Gingrich himself knows that Paul is not anti gay, or racist. Everybody knows that. No matter what the newsletters said. The real issue is Wall St and Main st. Gingrich, the other candidates and the press are ll owned by them. Ron Paul is the only candidate that is not.

One thing is certain, Ron Paul will come in ahead of both Gingrich and Perry in Virgina. Gingrich, who lives in McLean, Virgina can’t even properly manage to get on the ballot, and that conceited wind-bag wants to run the country?

Frankly, I’ve never seen fielded by the Republican party such a sorry bunch of candidates. I don’t count Paul as a Republican, because he’s really a libertarian like Gary Johnson. Ron Paul, including all his imperfections, is the better man out of all the other Republican candidates. The Neocon welfare-warfare machine will come down on Ron Paul with both feet if he wins Iowa and poses a threat in New Hampshire.

All of you RP supporters better be ready for the nastiest fight that you’ve ever been in.

30 years in the public eye and these newsletters are the only dirt that anyone can find? He obviously didn’t write them.

Wow Newt questioning anyone else’s integrity is questionable but Ron Paul’s? I guess Newt will go into stand up comedy next.

As a democrat I will not vote for Ron Paul, but this newsletter BS is just that, BS. I don’t think Ron Paul is a racist. They did the same thing to Harry Truman, saying he was a member of the Missouri KKK when in fact Truman opposed the KKK and was a major factor in integrating our armed forces.

There’s a Bible verse: “For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind”

The tea party republicans have attacked President Obama on just about everything including his birth and race, now they attack each other. They’ve made presidential politics into a carnival side show that includes magic tricks and mis-direction. Now they are practicing these tactics on each other.

Sadly to say my parties DNC will make these attacks look like blowing kisses. It shouldn’t be like that, debate policies and issues that concern the American people. Let the entertainment industry promote carnival events.

Newt knows that Rob Paul is not a racist and that I can completely guarantee you. So this shows just how low the man Newt from my state will stoop. We know him here in GA. We are ashamed that he is from this state. Leave the piece of garbage be because he is pure one hundred percent snake poison. I could write a book on this guy.

I don’t know that Ron Paul is a racist, but this story certainly brings up some major concerns about his leadership and the company he keeps at a very minimum. I also am concerned by the nutty kooks that come out of the woodwork to support him on the internet (look at some of the bizarre comments on this story!)

I’m not saying that I can’t support Ron Paul, but I am concerned and would like to see some more light shed on this. Ron’s comments in previous years when this brought up certainly leaves a lot of questions.

Everybody knows in my district that I didn’t write them and I don’t speak like that… and I’ve been reelected time and time again and everyone knows I don’t participate in that kind of language. The point is, when you bring this question up, you’re really saying ‘you’re a racist, or are you a racist?’ The answer is no, I’m not a racist. As a matter of fact, Rosa Parks is one of my heroes, Martin Luther King is a hero, because they practiced the libertarian principle of civil disobedience and nonviolence. Libertarians are incapable of being a racist because racism is a collectivist idea: you see people in groups. A civil libertarian as myself sees everyone as an important individual.
