JayDubya: I'm sure you've come across these claims before, and I'd like to know what your opinion is...or anyone's for that matter.
This is the second time I've come across a blog entry about Ron Paul supposedly being a racist--my first encounter, an entry from
DailyKOS. I don't read these blogs, but links to these entries were posted in a forum I visit from time to time.

Whoo boy. I'm really surprised that none of the mainstream news outlets have tried to run with any of these stories. I do, after all, believe that channels like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC are doing their best to marginalize Ron Paul by deleting polls, deleting the comments and accounts of his supporters, not including him as a choice in polls, preceding his name with descriptions such as "fringe candidate", "long shot" in surveys and OP to affect public opinion, etc. Of course nobody has any hard copies of the newsletter piece that Ron Paul has denied authoring which contain some of the quotes above on his alleged views on black males.
While it's true that Ron Paul cannot help getting the unabashed support (mostly--from what I can tell--due to his views on immigration, foreign policy, limited government, taxes, etc) from well known racist figures like Pat Buchanan, David Duke and members from sites like
Storm Front, he has made guest appearances for organizations like the John Birch Society, and a group of secessionists; has been interviewed by Alex Jones (believes in conspiracies like the truth about 9/11, New World Order and the role of ZOG or Zionist Occupied Government(s)), and the Council of Conservative Citizens' radio show, The Political Cesspool, which has Prussian Blue just below Ron Paul on the the
guest list.
I don't know how I feel about all this. Somebody hold me
