		<description>For one thing 95% of black men are criminals. sorry if thats news to anyone but its the truth. The difference between you and the people who support Ron Paul is that you think you know whats going on and the Ron Paul supporters really know whats going on. First you have to realize that the media is controlled by corporations who are owned by wealthy families like the Rockefellers, the Rothchildes, the Builderburgs, and the Bush family. Maybe thats why some of you don&#039;t even know who Ron Paul is. Ron PAUL IS NOT A RACIST this form is BS propaganda   to make Paul look bad. WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SO OBSESSED OVER RON PAUL YOU ASK? FIND OUT AND YOUTUBE, NWO, ILLUMINATI, Bohemian grove and Zeitguest movie. INFORM YOURSELF!!!</description>

		<description>Half a truth is still a lie... Ron Paul was reading the stats straight from a study that showed the extremely high rights of arrest of blacks... You can take anything out of context and lie about the meaning...

And most of us that support him HAVE studied everything we can get our hands on about him... your claims of racism shows that you have now become the very same FOUR MORE YEARS!!! Bushbot types .... I HAVE watched every video... read every speech... and had many many discussions with people about the many details of Ron Paul... I have learned many many new things about how fractional banking works as well as other financial systems... IF you got the balls sit down with someone that supports Ron Paul in front of a PC so they can walk you through Google ... and you will see there are not a bunch of sheeple behind him.... 

Those that take the time to not only read Ron Pauls answer but listen to his detailed reasoning behind it (which he offers whenever given time to do so) and you will see that he does NOT want to take the hard right (i.e. force of government power) to make people live like he does himself... he does not believe in throwing people in jail because of drugs... nor does he believe in using the Constitution to force religious morality onto others... he has spoken in GREAT detail about how the blacks will get much futher through championing individual liberty over rights for this group or that group...

But if all you got is name calling .... by all means... enjoy listening to your own singing of &quot;loon!&quot; &quot;loon!&quot; ...</description>

		<description>Fortunately the less intelligent on the left have finally realized Paul is not what they think he is (or they are just followers).  They LOVED him when they first saw him because he was against the war.  Then more intelligent people told them what the a-hole actually stands for.</description>

		<description>&quot;Yeah, Ron Paul is unelectable so why bother voting for him.&quot;

Ron Paul is unelectable because the right doesn&#039;t like him because he bucks the Bush system.  The left doesn&#039;t like him because he is a crazy freaking racist.</description>

		<description>&quot;That is false Marie. Research the facts and you will see that Romneyâ€™s grandfather was not an â€œillegal immigrant.â€ He was a U.S. Citizen who lived in Mexico for part of his life. There is a big difference.&quot;


Romney&#039;s grandparents (plural plus plural) fled the US because they were breaking the law (one that would put them in jail, unlike the minor &quot;crime&quot; of crossing the border).</description>

		<description>&quot;Oh, Iâ€™m very happy with the content Shayne. It helps prove my belief that â€œprogressivesâ€ at least pretend to care about alleged racist remarks against Black men, but donâ€™t care about anti-Semetic remarks. Iâ€™m always happy when you prove me right&quot;

Still waiting for the anti-semetic remarks.  Don&#039;t get me wrong, I wouldn&#039;t put it past him to do it but you haven&#039;t shown it so far (that &quot;Zionistic&quot; and anti-AIPAC stuff doesn&#039;t pass muster as anti-semetic).</description>

		<description>Tangeuray, I responded to that comment on another post.  Cut and paste?  Come on bud, are you really going to believe that bastion of liberalism, the New York Times?  I never quote Rush Limbaugh...why do you quote the NYT?  Or do you admit the paper is not even close to liberal?</description>

		<description>Yeah, you guys have seen UFO&#039;s.  Understandable...since UFO stands for unidentified flying object.  I would guess 95% of people have seen something in the sky they couldn&#039;t identity.  To think it is an alien is kind of stretching the imagination just a little bit.</description>

		<description>&quot;But why the focus only on Ron Paulâ€™s racist remarks against Black mem? He has also made anti-Semetic remarks; but it appears that TP doesnâ€™t care about that as much, if at all.&quot;

Why don&#039;t you post his anti-Semetic remarks?  I am all for destroying that fraud for every one of his racist remarks.</description>

Editorsâ€™ Note: The Ron Paul Vid-Lash

By The New York Times

A post in The Medium that appeared on Monday about the Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul and his purported adoption by white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups contained several errors. Stormfront, which describes itself as a â€œwhite nationalistâ€ Internet community, did not give money to Ron Paulâ€™s presidential campaign; according to Jesse Benton, a spokesman for Paulâ€™s campaign, it was Don Black, the founder of Stormfront, who donated $500 to Paul. The original post also repeated a string of assertions by Bill White, the commander of the American National Socialist Workers Party, including the allegation that Paul meets regularly â€œwith members of the Stormfront set, American Renaissance, the Institute for Historic Review and othersâ€ at a restaurant in Arlington, Va. Paul never attended these dinners, according to Benton, who also says that Paul has never knowingly met Bill White. Norman Singleton, a congressional aide in Paulâ€™s office, says that he met Bill White at a dinner gathering of conservatives several years ago, after which Singleton expressed his indignation at the views espoused by White to the organizer of the dinner. The original post should not have been published with these unverified assertions and without any response from Paul.</description>

		<description>It appears that so-called &#039;progressives&#039; would rather vote for a Democrat, even though they voted for the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, than support a person who consistently voted against them.

You have lost my support.</description>

		<description>You are doing the same thing to Ron Paul that the Swift Boaters did to John Kerry.

Have you no sense of decency?

When Ron Paul was voting against the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, your Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards were voting for them?

		<description>I would have thought that the Democrats would have pulled the anti-gay angle, since Ron Paul is pretty anti-gay and does not believe in gay rights. He also gives crappy pandering answers to questions centered on gay stuff.</description>

Ron Paul Inspiring New Civil Rights Movement
Larry Fester
Published 09/17/2007 - 5:39 p.m. EST   

       
Texas Presidential candidate Ron Paul is inspiring a new Civil Rights movement for the 21st century. Not since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has a political figure emerged to champion civil rights on such a grand scale.

Unlike the racial turmoil during Americaâ€™s period of segregation and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, Paulâ€™s message doesnâ€™t evoke resistance from a large segment of the population; and it appears to be unifying people of various backgrounds.

â€œFreedom Unites Peopleâ€ Paul said during his limited speaking time at a previously televised debate. And that is evident at his events as people from all walks of life show up with home made signs chanting â€˜Freedomâ€™.       
       
This 21st century Civil Rights movement is centered on just that, Freedom. Paulâ€™s campaign is literally redefining Civil Rights to extend beyond racial issues of the past century to its original concept, individual civilian rights as outlined in the Bill of Rights.

Paul doesnâ€™t couch sound bite phrases and platitudes like most of the other candidates running yet his message is still potent and to the point when he honestly tells reporters â€˜We need to roll back the police stateâ€™ and that â€˜It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked.â€™

Most Americans would likely agree, police the borders, and donâ€™t create a police state. Even so, media outlets and most politicians wouldnâ€™t use the phrase â€˜police stateâ€™ in connection with any of the actions of the last two presidential administrations.

The message of liberty is the driving force behind this developing Ron Paul juggernaut. It seems that Americans are just starting to respond to this wake up call from a 72 year old doctor that is also a congressman from Texas.

Ron Paul voted against the patriot act and has been a critic of expanding the federal government&#039;s ability to use wiretaps without judicial oversight and of search warrants non-specific to any given location, nor subject to any local judicial oversight.

He has also opposed so called â€œsneak and peekâ€ warrants enabling federal authorities to search a personâ€™s home, office, or personal property without that personâ€™s knowledge.

Paul voted against forced vaccinations of American citizens against small pox. â€˜The government should never have the power to require immunizations or vaccinations.â€™

Unlike his likely Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, Paul also opposed the war in Iraq and said that it was not constitutional to go to war without a Declaration of War from congress. A proponent of what he calls a non interventionist responsible foreign policy, Paul says if elected that he will bring the troops home from Iraq.

Ron Paulâ€™s defense of civil liberties is all about individual rights but he also championed the basic right of self government and opposed attempts to create a North American Union ruled by an unelected bureaucracy.

Only time will tell whether Ron Paul is the next president, but it is likely that this new civil rights movement is just beginning. It seems Americans want to be free regardless of opinion polls.

Paulâ€™s supporters like to say, â€˜Freedom Is Popular.â€™</description>
