On Newsletters

The only thing anyone could find 'against' Ron Paul i.e. this is the worst that exists on Ron Paul and he wasn't even writing the newsletter at the time!

Writers of the Newsletter were from Libertarian Party, following party strategy...

"During the period when the most incendiary items appeared—roughly 1989 to 1994—Rockwell and the prominent libertarian theorist Murray Rothbard championed an open strategy of exploiting racial and class resentment to build a coalition with populist “paleoconservatives,” producing a flurry of articles and manifestos whose racially charged talking points and vocabulary mirrored the controversial Paul newsletters recently unearthed byThe New Republic."


Another view on the newsletters...

"This has essentially never been seen before, and will likely never be seen again — an honest man standing up to a morally corrupt establishment, saying things no one in either wing of that establishment would dream of saying. Yes, all the establishment’s men will assure us of their profound commitment to the brotherhood of man, and every p.c. platitude ever uttered will pour forth from their lips. Ron Paul supporters are trying to persuade their countrymen that we ought to insist on a teensy bit more than this."


From Ron Paul...

"In his 2008 press release, Ron Paul took “moral responsibility” not for
writing anything, but“for not paying closer attention to what went out under [his] name.” He explicitly maintained: The quotations in The New Republic article are not mine and do not represent what I believe or have ever believed.
"


Politifact checked Ron Paul's claim that only 8-10 sentences were inflammatory and decided it was false. Yet the number did not grow by much on their count. [And, on at least one of Politifacts assertions, I can back Ron Paul's writers, i.e. the idea of there being a Jewish friend who thinks the Mossad had something to do with the 1993 bombing (though not on that particular incident). I know Jews who argue that the Holocaust numbers were inflated, something that is too far in the past for me to even bother to try and study.]

"Although the several dozen pages that The New Republic posted online, dated between 1988 and 1996, represent only a selected sample of Paul's newsletters, we reviewed them and found at least 35 sentences in at least 14 passages over nine different newsletters that we think many people would find inflammatory, although we recognize that opinions about specific passages will differ."
