But what ...Libertarians ARE inherently anti-racist. But what Ron Paul wrote ( or his staffers wrote) is NOT libertarian in any way.<BR/><BR/>The problem with the logic of the ronpaulforums libertarians is that they assume Ron Paul is a libertarian and not more of a conservative "federalist" or Constitutionalist.<BR/><BR/>Not, IMHO, the same thing. Cultural libertarians have beliefs that are not dependent on the level of government involved. We don't do the whole " States Rights, wink, wink" thing.<BR/><BR/>many libertarians have always been uncomfortable with Ron Paul and his more "conservative" beliefs and not even consider him a libertarian, but more of a guy who tries to pander to both worlds.<BR/><BR/>Hell, maybe it will be ok if people think libertarians are racist. then maybe regular libertarians can find a new name without so much baggage.

And what libertarians and racists both have in common is the issue of states rights/small government, which is why you have so many neo-confederates supporter.<BR/><BR/>Abe, I agree, people can change their ways. Senator Byrd has admitted to his past, and now has a perfect rating from the NAACP. Ron Paul is still trying to convince people that he is is morally responsible but you can't hold him responsible, whatever that means.<BR/><BR/>One of the main problems is that Ron Paul holds the issue of racism as one of his main campaign planks on his website, and yet he can't even handle the blatant racism in his newsletter that he took full responsibility for. In fact, he defended the writings when first asked about them in 1996, while still denying that they were racist. If Ron Paul can't even handle an issue he campaigns on, then that reeks of false promises and incompetence. Even if he isn't racist, it's hard to move on from there.Ron Lawlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086109227989407484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449606627589080490.post-65747698148656675712008-01-10T17:02:00.001-06:002008-01-10T17:02:00.001-06:00You are going to love this video.

Byrd for the Democrats. <BR/><BR/>If Ron Paul didn't write it but was negligent in letting racist fools come up with the garbage, then he has already accepted responsibility for it and we can move on.<BR/><BR/>I can't decide whether you really care about racism or you just don't like Ron Paul's views of ending our occupation of other countries and returning our country to fiscal responsibility. <BR/><BR/>If you have valid objections to his views, calling his supporters "Paultards" doesn't help your position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449606627589080490.post-85813943699981025812008-01-10T17:00:00.000-06:002008-01-10T17:00:00.000-06:00Ron Paul said he didn't write them. TNR is known ...Ron Paul said he didn't write them. TNR is known for, shall we say, its highly inventive reporters, and their unique methods of reporting. <BR/><BR/>Libertarianism isn't inherently anti-racist, but it is inherently anti-governmentally sanctioned racism. I've never met a racist libertarian. They appear to be extremely rare. It's likely the poster assumed that as he'd never met a racist libertarian, they don't exist, and ergo, libertarian is inherently anti-racist. One can be a libertarian racist, just as there was that black white power guy a few years ago, but it's an extremely odd thing to contemplate.<BR/><BR/>Wish you would pick up some quotes from some of the more level headed Ron Paul supporters, cherry picking the weirdest comments, and presenting them as representative of the movement as a whole, isn't a show of journalistic integrity. I don't like the nutters we've picked up, but looking around, the other campaigns have their same share of nutters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
