Ron Paul's 2012 Bid Wilts Under Newsletter Scrutiny

Reader Comments

Back to blog

This "news" article is full of erroneous facts. As well as very biased and unfounded opinions about Ron Paul. Due to your lack elaboration I can only assume you (the writer) want people to come to an incorrect conclusion of Ron Paul's character. I find this to be a repugnant use of your position sir. I can only assume that the rest of this website is also full of misleading and foolhardy "pieces" like this.

So gaining strength in nearly all polls and continued fanatical support now equates to wilting? What factual evidence do you have to back this claim? Was it that kelly clarkson's Facebook fan quote? Nice journalism.

boris epshteyn saw your piece on MSNBC and stating that RAcism doesn't belong in politics? Where the hell have you been these past decades? You had your Jim crow laws passed, The 1990 law prohibits the appropriation of funds “for the United Nations or any specialized agency thereof which accords the Palestine Liberation Organization the same standing as a member state.”, We had members of the KKK as presidents from Harry Truman to Calvin Coolidge. Oh can't forget SEnator Byrd who was a member a created a KKK chapter as well. That is a load of nonsense you stated.

Check your polls - this newsletter bullcrap isn't fooling anybody. Ron Paul's polling stronger than ever.

Wilts? I, along with DOZENS of my democrat friends, have switched to GOP just so we can vote for Ron Paul in the Florida primary. We will not be swayed by your ridiculous articles. You, like all the other watered-down news organizations, are a complete failure.

look a-hole

even if he did respond do you actually think it'd be enough for a presstitute like you? you'd still attack him for some blogger who wrote a bunch of ALLEGED racist stuff on his newsletter.

How dare you compare a Mafia thug to Dr. Ron Paul (because that is what you are doing with this hit piece). How low and immoral can you people get with such accusations? Are you so scared that someone like him just might rise above all the negativity and slander you put out that you will no longer be the standard bearer of decent journalism? Report the facts, don't editorialize in order to marginalize a candidate who you find unacceptable or that your handlers are fearful of losing their control over the sheep of America.

I can understand why some people with more lust for a smear campaign than for serious parsing of the few available facts would write off Ron Paul based solely on the newsletter controversy. Fortunately, here is one blogger with heart and intellect intact: http://thyblackman.com/2011/12/28/ron-paul-putting-the-charges-against-him-in-their-proper-context/
