Ron Paul’s Racist Newsletters Re-Emerge with Rise in Polls
(http://www.eurweb.com/2011/12/ron-pauls-racist-newsletters-re-emerge-with-rise-in-polls/)
As Ron Paul suddenly tops a new Iowa poll in the GOP presidential race, the libertarian candidate spent most of Tuesday denying that he wrote a series of newsletters that appeared under his name in the 1980s and 1990s that included controversial comments about African-Americans.
“When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time, a newsletter was published under my name that I did not edit. Several writers contributed to the product,” he said. “For over a decade, I have publicly taken moral responsibility for not paying closer attention to what went out under my name.”Asked by CBS News and National Journal if the newsletters are fair game on Tuesday in New Hampshire, Paul responded, “I don’t know whether fair is the right word.”
“I mean, it’s politics,” he continued. “Nobody talked about it for 20 years until they found out that the message of liberty was making progress. And everybody knows I didn’t write them, and it’s not my sentiment, so it’s sort of politics as usual.”
