I’ve been trying to advocate for more positive reinforcement in FR with regard to the various candidates, but if the crap I’ve heard reported actually IS in those newsletters, this a-hole needs to be purged.
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.'"
...and...
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."
Ping for review
Didn’t someone post a shot yesterday of one of the most offensive letters (that Paul denies writing) showing him extending personal Christmas wishes from himself, his wife, his kids and grandkids?
this is in bloggers? I think it’s big news that CNN has picked this up
