Ron Paul '90s newsletters rant against blacks, gays

@ 08:07 PM (3 months, 15 days ago)

 

....claims CNN...is there anything to this?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A series of newsletters in the name of GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul contain several racist remarks -- including one that says order was restored to Los Angeles after the 1992 riots when blacks went "to pick up their welfare checks."

art.essay.ronpaul.polreport.jpg

This is a copy of one of the "Ron Paul Political Report" newsletters, which has stirred controversy.

CNN recently obtained the newsletters -- written in the 1990s and one from the late 1980s -- after a report was published about their existence in The New Republic.

None of the newsletters CNN found says who wrote them, but each was published under Paul's name between his stints as a U.S. congressman from Texas.

Paul told CNN's "The Situation Room" Thursday that he didn't write any of the offensive articles and has "no idea" who did. Video Watch Paul's full interview with CNN »

"When you bring this question up, you're really saying, 'You're a racist' or 'Are you a racist?' And the answer is, 'No, I'm not a racist,'" he said.

Paul said he had never even read the articles with the racist comments. See the newsletter excerpts for yourself »

"I do repudiate everything that is written along those lines," he said, adding he wanted to "make sure everybody knew where I stood on this position because it's obviously wrong."

But that's not good enough, says one political veteran.

"These stories may be very old in Ron Paul's life, but they're very new to the American public and they deserve to be totally ventilated," said David Gergen, a CNN senior political analyst. "I must say I don't think there's an excuse in politics to have something go out under your name and say, 'Oh by the way, I didn't write that.'"

Paul, who is not considered a front-runner, has become an Internet phenomenon in the current race, raising tens of millions of dollars from a devoted online base, many of them young people drawn to his libertarian straight talk. See where the money is coming from »

The controversial newsletters include rants against the Israeli lobby, gays, AIDS victims and Martin Luther King Jr. -- described as a "pro-Communist philanderer." One newsletter, from June 1992, right after the LA riots, says "order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks."

Another says, "The criminals who terrorize our cities -- in riots and on every non-riot day -- are not exclusively young black males, but they largely are. As children, they are trained to hate whites, to believe that white oppression is responsible for all black ills, to 'fight the power,' to steal and loot as much money from the white enemy as possible."

In some excerpts, the reader may be led to believe the words are indeed from Paul, a resident of Lake Jackson, Texas. In the "Ron Paul Political Report" from October 1992, the writer describes carjacking as the "hip-hop thing to do among the urban youth who play unsuspecting whites like pianos."

The author then offers advice from others on how to avoid being carjacked, including "an ex-cop I know," and says, "I frankly don't know what to make of such advice, but even in my little town of Lake Jackson, Texas, I've urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self defense. For the animals are coming."

In his interview with CNN, Paul said that's language he would never use. "People who know me, nobody is going to believe this," he said. "That's just not my language. It's not my life."

He added, "Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Ghandi, they're the heroes [of my life]."

Matt Welch, the editor-in-chief of "Reason" magazine who shares some of Paul's beliefs on big government, says he has never heard the congressman make racist comments like those in the newsletters.

"What I think some people are looking for him to do is to say, 'OK, who wrote that?' I mean, there's 20 years, give or take, worth of newsletters there," Welch said.

Paul said the editor of publications "is responsible for daily activities." But he also cited "transition" and "changes" and said that some people were hired to write stories "but I didn't know their names."

The presidential hopeful described the newsletter revelations as a "rehash" of old material dug up by his opponents because he is gaining ground with black voters due to his stance against the war in Iraq and the war on drugs.

"I am the anti-racist because I am the only candidate -- Republican or Democrat -- who would protect the minority against these vicious drug laws," he said.

"Libertarians are incapable of being a racist, because racism is a collectivist idea."

Nader Warns Bloomberg Not to Run - Only Room for One Egomaniac in Race, Activist Says

@ 11:22 PM (3 months, 16 days ago)

 

Not so fast.

That was the message delivered today to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg by consumer activist Ralph Nader, who warned Mr. Bloomberg, “If some egomaniac is going to jump in and screw up this election, it’s going to be me.”

Mr. Nader established an exploratory committee for a presidential bid today to let Mr. Bloomberg know that there was “only room for one self-absorbed gas-bag in the 2008 race.”

At a press conference in Washington, Mr. Nader said that voters who are looking for someone to spoil the 2008 election should be suspicious of Mr. Bloomberg’s motives: “Michael Bloomberg has a track record of winning elections, not screwing them up.”

In contrast, Mr. Nader said, “I know how hard it is to wreck an election, and I am prepared to put in the long hours necessary to mess this one up big-time.”

If both Mr. Nader and Mr. Bloomberg were to enter the race, they would be competing head to head for the vote of egomaniacs, who make up three percent of the electorate nationwide but closer to fifty percent in California and New York.

Speaking to that egomaniac constituency, Mr. Nader called Mr. Bloomberg a “novice spoiler,” adding, “When it comes to screwing up elections, experience matters.”

“Michael Bloomberg can’t point to a single election he’s messed up – I can,” he said. “I am ready to screw this one up on Day One.”

FRENCH TRADER WAS FORCED TO WORK 30 HOURS A WEEK

@ 05:06 PM (3 months, 17 days ago)

 

        FRIENDS of rogue trader Jerome Kerviel last night blamed his $7 billion
losses on unbearable levels of stress brought on by a punishing 30 hour
week.  Kerviel was known to start work as early as nine in the morning and
still be at his desk at five or even five-thirty, often with just an hour
and a half for lunch.  One colleague said: "He was, how you say, une
workaholique. I have a family and a mistress so I would leave the office at
around 2pm at the latest, if I wasn't on strike. But Jerome was tied to
that desk. One day I came back to the office at 3pm because I had forgotten
my stupid little hat, and there he was, fast asleep on the photocopier.  At
first I assumed he had been having sex with it, but then I remembered he'd
been working for almost six hours." As the losses mounted, Kerviel tried to
conceal his bad trades by covering them with an intense red wine sauce,
later switching to delicate pastry horns. At one point he managed to dispose
of dozens of transactions by hiding them inside vol-au-vent cases and
staging a fake reception.

        Last night a spokesman for Sócíété Générálé denied that Kerviel was
overworked, insisting he lost the money after betting that the French were
about to stop being rude, lazy, arrogant bastards.

Bloomberg Still Deciding Whether to Buy the Presidency - Price Remains Sticking Point, Aides Say

@ 05:52 AM (3 months, 18 days ago)

 

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is “still trying to decide” whether to buy the U.S. presidency, aides to Mr. Bloomberg confirmed today, with the sticking point reportedly being the steep price of such an acquisition.

In recent weeks, Mr. Bloomberg had been sending out positive signals about his interest in buying the highest office in the land, raising hopes among supporters that he might be preparing to throw his wallet in the ring.

In a speech in Oklahoma last week, for example, the mayor told an enthralled crowd, “In these divisive times, I believe that the American people are yearning for the leadership of a whiny billionaire.”

Mr. Bloomberg even floated a possible campaign slogan: “Vote For Me and I’ll Give you $10,000.”

Aides close to the mayor indicated that there were other positive signs as well, noting that Mr. Bloomberg had recently transferred $2 billion into his day-to-day checking account.

“With that kind of money, you could either buy the White House or ten Mitt Romneys,” said one aide familiar with the cash transfer.

But according to one of Mr. Bloomberg’s advisers who spoke on condition of anonymity, falling real estate prices in the U.S. may have given the mayor cold feet about buying the presidency.

“At this point, buying the United States isn’t looking like such a good investment,” the adviser said. “At the end of the day, Mike might be better off buying Canada.”

Gay Tiger Attacks Huckabee - Animal �Taunted� By Bestiality Remarks

@ 05:52 AM (3 months, 18 days ago)

 

After making remarks in which he directly equated homosexuality with bestiality, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee was attacked at the San Francisco Zoo by a gay tiger.

Mr. Huckabee had scheduled a campaign stop at the zoo where he made his controversial remarks about homosexuality and bestiality, not realizing that he was standing within earshot of a Bengal tiger with a homosexual lifestyle.

According to onlooker Tracy Klujian, 27, “The way that tiger started growling during the speech, you could tell that it felt like it was being taunted.”

As Mr. Huckabee’s remarks about homosexuality and bestiality reached their crescendo, the irate tiger leaped over an eighteen-foot barrier and began mauling the presidential candidate.

Within minutes, police responding to a 911 call rushed to the scene, where they fired tranquilizer darts at both the tiger and Mr. Huckabee, who had continued to make his offensive remarks throughout the mauling.

According to one aide, the unfortunate tiger attack incident had done nothing to change Mr. Huckabee’s position on gay marriage: “Not only that, but now he’s opposed to tigers marrying other tigers.”

Hillary Sends Bill on Campaign Trip to Antarctica - Will Remain There Until Convention, Aides Confirm

@ 08:55 PM (3 months, 19 days ago)

 

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has sent her husband, former President Bill Clinton, on a “special campaign trip” to Antarctica that could last “six or seven months,” Clinton aides confirmed today.

“From here on in, Bill is going to be our man in Antarctica,” said top Clinton strategist Mark Penn. “We have sent him down there with enough food and firewood to last until the Democratic convention this summer.”

The unexpected change in the former president’s itinerary happened just hours after Mrs. Clinton’s drubbing in the South Carolina primary, causing some party insiders to wonder if Mr. Clinton’s mission to Antarctica represented something of a demotion.

The decision to dispatch Mr. Clinton to the South Pole also raised eyebrows because the continent of Antarctica does not participate in the so-called “Super Tuesday” primaries on February 5 and sends no delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

Mr. Penn attempted to tamp down all such speculation, telling reporters, “This race isn’t about votes or delegates, it’s about land mass, frozen tundra and penguins.”

Mr. Clinton’s itinerary change comes on the heels of a controversial incident Saturday night in which he was discovered bound and gagged in the bathroom of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign plane, his hands tied by what appeared to be the jacket of a bright yellow pantsuit.

Speaking to reporters with a strip of duct tape still over his mouth, Mr. Clinton denied that he was being muzzled by the campaign, adding, “Mmmfff mghrmfff mmbrrfff.”

Brother Ron Paul? Re(4): Presidential Candidates
Posted on January 11, 2008 at 02:21:17 PM by fw

Leno appeared to give Paul a Masonic handshake at the end of Paul's segment during his appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show on Jan. 7th or 8th.

Paul did have his legs crossed at the ankles during the interview.

If Paul is Mason he is a little more careful about it than Huckabee, who appears to base his entire political career on the Masonry among the Pastors and Laity of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The only other incident that comes to mind that could be Ring Knocking was a long segment of Paul crossing his arms during the famous exchange with Giuliani after he came after Paul over some of his comments on the causes of 9/11 and Terrorism.

I also noticed that Paul received a lot of support(he may have in fact won it) for a Poll conducted among the Freemasons at the Burning Taper Blog recently.

In South Carolina, It’s Obama vs. Clinton - Bill Not Hillary

@ 07:30 PM (3 months, 23 days ago)

 

Hillary is playing the "woman card" and siccing her big bad husband, what a joke that is, to defend her honor, what a bad joke THAT is.

Facing formidable support for Senator Barack Obama in South Carolina, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is deploying former President Bill Clinton there while she shifts her attention to campaigning in states with nominating contests next month and to raising money.

The strategic shift intensifies a new dynamic in the race: Mrs. Clinton’s campaign this week in South Carolina is essentially running Mr. Clinton against Mr. Obama. The two have been engaged in a war of words, with Mr. Clinton accusing the Obama campaign of voter coercion in the Nevada caucuses, and Mr. Obama saying on Monday that Mr. Clinton had made comments that were “not factually accurate” and that his advocacy for his wife had grown “pretty troubling.”

Mrs. Clinton’s advisers cautioned that she was not writing off South Carolina, which has a Democratic primary on Saturday. It is the last place where Democrats will compete before Feb. 5, when more than 20 states hold nominating contests.

Mrs. Clinton plans to hold events on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in South Carolina. Yet she will spend the next two days campaigning in Arizona, California, New Jersey and New Mexico, which vote on Feb. 5. She will begin a television advertising blitz this week in 10 states with contests on that day. She is also returning Thursday night to New York, another state with a Feb. 5 contest, for two fund-raisers, part of an effort to raise more than $15 million before the coming primaries.

In short, Clinton advisers say, she is pursuing a national campaign strategy that includes South Carolina but that does not elevate the state to the level of critical importance that it usually has in the presidential nominating contest. This reflects the Clinton team’s view that it does not expect to beat Mr. Obama in South Carolina, where he enjoys strong support from black voters, and that it wants to lower expectations there.

“All along we have said this is a battle for delegates,” said Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, “and we are going to campaign for delegates in South Carolina and across the country.”

Mr. Clinton will be in South Carolina every day until the primary, often joined by his daughter, Chelsea, as he courts fellow Southerners and black voters. He also attended services on Monday at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s old congregation; Mr. Obama spoke there on Sunday.

Mr. Clinton’s campaigning for his wife, which has included some of the most pointed attacks on Mr. Obama and his record on Iraq and other issues, drew criticism at the Ebenezer services on Monday from some Obama supporters, and well as from some black leaders in South Carolina.

“He needs to chill a little bit,” Representative James E. Clyburn, a powerful South Carolina Democrat who has not endorsed anyone in the primary, said of Mr. Clinton. As someone who is revered in many parts of the black community, Mr. Clyburn said, the former president “can afford to tone it down.”

Mr. Clinton has drawn particular criticism for saying, just before Mrs. Clinton’s victory in the New Hampshire primary, that Mr. Obama’s depiction of his steady opposition to the Iraq war was “a fairy tale,” given that Mr. Obama voted for a time for Iraq war financing and once indicated that he was not sure how he would have voted on authorizing military action in Iraq.

At the Ebenezer congregation on Monday, an Obama supporter, Mayor Shirley Franklin of Atlanta, appeared to take a shot at Mr. Clinton over that comment as he sat a few feet away.

“In this beautiful, all-American morning,” Ms. Franklin said, “we are at the cusp of turning the impossible into reality. Yes, this is reality, no fantasy or fairy tale.”

Mr. Wolfson, the Clinton spokesman, said Mr. Clinton’s comments about Mr. Obama had been based on his public record and on voter complaints about pressure tactics in Nevada.

“The Obama campaign is clearly feeling frustrated at losing New Hampshire and Nevada and is lashing out at Bill Clinton,” Mr. Wolfson said. “But facts are fact, and everything the president said is true.”

The Clintons have also assailed Mr. Obama for praising President Ronald Reagan and remarking upon the Republican Party’s dominance in past policy debates — even though Mr. Obama was not endorsing those policies and was limiting his praise to Reagan’s communication abilities (something the Clintons have previously praised).

“If folks are looking for more of the same in Washington, this is a terrific example of how the Clinton campaign is doing a more than adequate job of demonstrating their commitment to the same old game-playing,” said an Obama spokesman, Bill Burton. “These attacks are demonstrably false.”

The Clinton campaign has gone to some lengths to assure South Carolina supporters that Mrs. Clinton is not abandoning the state; she appeared in Columbia at a celebration of Dr. King, though a flight delay prevented her from taking part in a march beforehand.

One high-level Clinton supporter in South Carolina said that at a meeting Monday morning, Clinton officials offered assurances that “we’ll have all the resources” to wage a full campaign.

Joe Erwin, who was the chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party when the state was given its early position in the presidential nominating calendar, said he was troubled by Mrs. Clinton’s decision.

“Across the state, so many undecided voters were hoping to see the candidates up close and personal,” said Mr. Erwin, an Obama supporter. “It’s disappointing.”

Clinton supporters said that given the compressed primary schedule Mrs. Clinton could not devote all of her time to South Carolina.

Just days before the South Carolina primary, the contest was rapidly expanding beyond the state’s borders. Mr. Obama on Monday became the first candidate to begin advertising nationally, on cable television networks.

The advertisement drew criticism from the Clinton campaign, which accused its rival of breaking a pledge signed by Democratic candidates to avoid campaigning in Florida because the timing of its primary violated rules of the Democratic National Committee.

Some time ago Dugg and I made a bet regarding Fred Thompson, Ron Paul and the South Carolina Primary.  Dugg of course took RP and I took FT and gave Dugg 3 points.  The stakes were an admission by the non winner.  Dugg has graciously responded as follows:

"I've about lost all hope, Barry. RP has no chance barring a miracle. If I live to be 90 (and I won't) there will never be another one like him. I'm glad I rode the bandwagon for the last hope - but it's about time to restart that countdown to the end."

Hey, it's not the end of the world Dugg.  RP isn't the maverick he is making himself out to be.  The only potential maverick who might shake things up is Obama (it almost pains me to say this....BUT he could actually be the most conservative on the bunch, e.g. his health care plan - it is price and market driven unlike everyone else's).  This should be interesting...right down to the conventions.  Anything can and might happen.

"It knows that any attack on Iranian territories would prompt a fierce response," he added.

George Carlin Solves Iraq, Gas Prices and Illegal Alien Problems with Unique Thoughtful Solution

@ 08:33 AM (4 months, 4 days ago)

 

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use..... The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants!

That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down.....

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the Border....

When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq ...

Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military.....

Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it.....

After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country......

He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot......

This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves......

If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.....

Problem solved.....

Barbi Twins separated at birth met and married

@ 08:14 PM (4 months, 4 days ago)

 

A couple discovered after they had married that they were twins who had been split up at birth and adopted by separate families, according to a member of Britain's House of Lords.

It looks fine to me

British peer David Alton recounted the story to parliament last month to support his argument that artificially conceived children should be told who their biological parents are.

Alton said he had heard the story of the separated twins from a High Court judge who had dealt with the case.

"This did not involve in vitro fertilization: It involved the normal birth of twins who were separated at birth and adopted by separate parents," said Alton, an independent member of the Lords. "They were never told that they were twins."

"They met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation," he said.

"I suspect that it will be a matter of litigation in the future if we do not make information of this kind available to children who have been donor-conceived," he said.

Alton could not immediately be reached for comment and no further information was available about the twins or where they were from.

"I think it's a very tragic story for the people involved," said Pam Hodgkins, head of a group that helps adults affected by adoption.

"It is a lesson that we need to learn and apply to the situation of donor-conceived children," she told Sky News.

"Whilst ... nowadays it would be most unusual for siblings to be separated ... the risk of secrecy affecting the lives of people born as a result of egg and sperm donation is exactly the same as the risks that have affected adopted people in the past," she said.

Hillary Schedules Official Crying Jag for South Carolina - Launches ‘Sniffling Tour’ Before Super Tuesday

@ 08:29 AM (4 months, 5 days ago)

 

Saying that she has learned valuable lessons from her victory in the New Hampshire primary, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) today announced that she was scheduling an official crying jag for the eve of the South Carolina primary on January 26.

Speaking to reporters in Las Vegas this morning, her eyes noticeably watery, Mrs. Clinton said that her election eve crying jag would be scheduled for 4 PM EST on January 25.

But the newly lachrymose junior senator from New York indicated that her South Carolinian waterworks would only be one stop on an ambitious tear-drenched campaign schedule leading up to SuperDuper Tuesday on February 5, an itinerary which she and her aides are calling her “Sniffling Tour.”

“I’m going to be crying so much you’re going to think I’m Anderson Cooper,” she wept.

But even as Mrs. Clinton said that “this election is a crying game, and I’m in it to win it,” some political observers wondered if the New York senator would be able to cry at will as often as her punishing schedule demands.

According to strategist Mark Penn, a trusted group of campaign aides would have the job of inducing tears from Mrs. Clinton by “saying mean things to her” before every appearance.

Additionally, Mr. Penn says, Mrs. Clinton has a secret weapon in her latest endeavor, former president Bill Clinton: “No one can make Hillary cry like Bill can.”

Improve Your Sex Life by Your Wife Getting a Job as a Hooker

@ 08:33 PM (4 months, 7 days ago)

 

A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees. Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town.

"I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper Wednesday.  Apparently the guy never got sex at home but finds it great now that he pays for it.

Women like it too!

Conservative vs. liberal democrat Morals - 2008 Election

@ 07:08 PM (4 months, 8 days ago)

 

OLD VERSION:  The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
 
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
 
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
 
MORAL OF THE STORY:  Be responsible for yourself!
 
-------------------------------------------
 
MODERN VERSION:
 
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
 
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
 
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
 
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
 
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
 
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
 
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
 
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
 
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
 
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
 
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
 
The ant loses the case.
 
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
 
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
 
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
 
MORAL OF THE STORY:  Be careful how you vote in 2008
