Why Ron Paul attracts some liberals.

[Skip Intro]

67. And

I still don't see a racist quote from him.

I'm not saying I agree with the guy on any or all issues, but I believe in being honest and fair.

I haven't seen any proof of Ron Paul's supposed racism. I've seen innuendo and conjecture, but no proof. Without that, I'm not going to join in in calling the man a racist. Every repub candidate, btw, as well as Obama, has been called racist.

From what you've posted above, I'll say I surely don't agree with Paul's stance on workplace harassment protections - but I see his view. I can see where he's coming from without agreeing with him. I see him coming from his idea of limited government and individual freedom. He is coming from an extreme free-market ideology. Not sexism. I don't see sexism here.

I don't see the remarks about the caucuses in congress as racist, but coming from his idea of freedom and equality - if one group can do something, why can't every group? Again, I see his logic, where he is coming from. I don't believe he is coming from a racist view.

As far as the AIDS research opposition, I don't find it to be homophobic, but more based on his views of limited government. AIDS doesn't affect just homosexuals. My guess is he would respond the same way to other diseases as well. Again, I disagree with him here, but I see where he is coming from and I don't believe it is from a bias against gays.

My entire presence in this thread isn't to defend Ron Paul but is based on my desire to be fair and honest, because without that, what do any of us have?

If Ron Paul is a racist then it shouldn't be too hard to find quotes by him that are clearly racist. He's certainly not shy about speaking his mind. As I said, I've yet to see any.
