When I saw the title of the first Ron Paul article listed in Google News this morning, I assumed it was just another flimsy attempt to discredit Dr. Paul. But when I actually read it, I found that it was something different.
The title was "Ron Paul Challenged to Explain Supposedly Racist Remarks in Previous Newsletter". However, the challenge did not come from critics.

"According to TCOOO who usually focus on issues affecting the Black community, they actually have a strong liking for Ron Paul and his polices. TCOOO's mission is to introduce what they believe are great Republican or independent candidates to the Black Community, which in turn they hope will force the Democratic Party to realize that the Black vote cannot and should not be taken for granted.
"TCOOO not only blog at www.rastatravel.com but they also blog on the popular MySpace networking site at www.blog.myspace.com/tcooo. After each Republican debate, they blog about which candidates they found to be the most impressive and would like to see as the next leader of the United States. So far, in TCOOO's opinion, Ron Paul has been the most impressive of all the candidates, both on the Democratic and the Republican sides."
"However, they are not quite ready to be die hard Ron Paul supporters. At least not until Ron Paul can give a clear explanation of some alleged racist remarks that were printed in his newsletter over a decade ago.
"Although Ron Paul has attributed such statements to a ghostwriter for his newsletter, TCOOO believes that he still owes the American people an explanation as nothing should have been printed in his newsletter that he did not approve of."
"TCOOO said they have written to Ron Paul everywhere they can find him on the Internet including his MySpace profile but as yet to get a reply. They are hoping, however, that maybe in the next Republican debate Ron Paul will give a clear and concise explanation of the past alleged negative statements toward the Black Community."
And here's another article from the General Politics forum. Apparently the NAACP invited all Presidential Candidates to participate in a forum--one for the Republican Party Candidates and one for the Democratic Party Candidates. The Democratic one had plenty of candidates participating, but at the one for Republican candidatees, Tom Tancredo was the only one who showed up.

"He walked out, passing empty podiums bearing the names of the other candidates. He peeked around a few of the podiums looking at the names, and playfully lined up behind the wrong one.
“Should we wait a few minutes to see if the other guys show up?” he asked to laughter. “Do they know something I don’t know?”
********
O.K., we all know Ron Paul is a busy person. We also know he is hard to contact. But I think these are things he needs to know about.
If there's someone who has contact with his campaign, could you relay this to him? With an explanation, the NCOOO might become diehard supporters. And while I'm sure his lack of attendance at the NAACP Forum was due to a conflict in schedule, the absence of all candidates except Tancredo does send a message--one Dr. Paul doesn't want to send.
