Strong evidence that Ron Paul really did write those racist newsletters

looks like Ron Paul is a liar as well as a racist.

“Everybody knows I didn’t write them,” Paul said during a Tuesday campaign stop in New Hampshire. “It’s not my sentiment, so it’s sort of politics as usual.”


Maybe Ron Paul should explain why this 1992 edition of his newsletter cites a magazine that only a professional gynecologist (like Ron Paul) would be expected to follow: Contemporary OB-GYN.

Will some enterprising journalist ask him how much he made? Dozens of dollars? Hundreds? Thousands? If it was something substantial, I'd have to wonder just what Dr. Paul was doing collecting all that money for someone else's work, seeing as how he didn't write it.

No cited authorship, the only name on it was Ron Paul. Thus, the intended impression was that he authored all the work. It really does not matter if he wrote them, he did worse, he published them with his name on them. Promulgated that shit. Any jerk can write hateful stuff. Only a few can distribute that to a wide audience as Paul did. The 'I dd not write it' excuse is without merit.
