I am involved in an MSN political community called Extreme Politics
Recently I started a thread showcasing the email sent from Michael Scheuer CIA head of bin Laden desk applauding Ron Paul.
Following is a resonse I recieved from a fellow member and a hater of Ron Paul.
I would like to point out the links he provided. In that thread, I'm doing my best to debunk this guy. Sure wouldn't mind a little help. I find that political discussion forums are among the best places to make a case for liberty and the campaign of Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is just as big a phony as everyone else in Congress. By the admission of his own staff he makes sure funds are put into every bill for his district. Hardly a person who does not like pork. Then because he knows the bill is going to pass anyway, he votes against it, so he can have his cake and eat it too. He can bring home the pork for his district, and post on his blogs how he voted against the bill and please his stalwarts who never look past his words to his actions to see what a phony he is.
His comments about blacks are also demonstrative of ignorance, I won't say racism because I don't know the man, but they are remarkably ignorant.
Congressman Paul always makes sure, in any of the appropriations bills, whether they're a supplemental, a regular bill, or a hurricane bill, he always takes whatever steps he can to make sure that some of the spending in that bill goes to the district. That's part of his job," Deist said.

Regardless of what the media tell us, most white Americans are not going to believe that they are at fault for what blacks have done to cities across America. The professional blacks may have cowed the elites, but good sense survives at the grass roots. Many more are going to have difficultly avoiding the belief that our country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists -- and they can be identified by the color of their skin. This conclusion may not be entirely fair, but it is, for many, entirely unavoidable.
Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action.... Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the "criminal justice system," I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.
If similar in-depth studies were conducted in other major cities, who doubts that similar results would be produced? We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, but it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.
Perhaps the L.A. experience should not be surprising. The riots, burning, looting, and murders are only a continuation of 30 years of racial politics.The looting in L.A. was the welfare state without the voting booth. The elite have sent one message to black America for 30 years: you are entitled to something for nothing. That's what blacks got on the streets of L.A. for three days in April. Only they didn't ask their Congressmen to arrange the transfer.
Texas congressional candidate Ron Paul's 1992 political newsletter highlighted portrayals of blacks as inclined toward crime and lacking sense about top political issues.
Under the headline of "Terrorist Update," for instance, Paul reported on gang crime in Los Angeles and commented, "If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be."
Paul, a Republican obstetrician from Surfside, said Wednesday he opposes racism and that his written commentaries about blacks came in the context of "current events and statistical reports of the time."
... [I]n the same 1992 edition ... [Paul wrote], "We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such."
Paul also asserted that "complex embezzling" is conducted exclusively by non-blacks.
"What else do we need to know about the political establishment than that it refuses to discuss the crimes that terrify Americans on grounds that doing so is racist? Why isn't that true of complex embezzling, which is 100 percent white and Asian?" he wrote.
University of Texas affirmative action law professor Barbara Jordan is a fraud. Everything from her imitation British accent, to her supposed expertise in law, to her distinguished career in public service, is made up. If there were ever a modern case of the empress without clothes, this is it. She is the archetypical half-educated victimologist, yet her race and sex protect her from criticism.

The bold is the author's emphasis. Assuming these quotes are accurate, I have a big problem with some of them. Not that it will really matter, as my opinion of the guy is low to start with, he has no shot at the presidency and I don't live in his distict. But some of those quotes are and should be very bothersome for his supporters.
Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions,
I would not consider that racist. Condescending and arrogant but not racist.
Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the "criminal justice system," I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.
This one is just flat out indefensible. Perhaps not racist, but ignorant.
We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, but it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.
Again, ignorance. Those types of things tell you nothing about an individual. I dare say you could say the same about a lot of different segments of society and Paul would not agree with it.
Paul also asserted that "complex embezzling" is conducted exclusively by non-blacks.
"What else do we need to know about the political establishment than that it refuses to discuss the crimes that terrify Americans on grounds that doing so is racist? Why isn't that true of complex embezzling, which is 100 percent white and Asian?" he wrote
Pure ignorance again, he is essentially saying that blacks arfe not intelligent enough to be embezzlers.
We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such
Breaking news for you Ronny, there are white boys like that too.
His remarks about Jordan he disowned, saying he did not make them. I won't address those, even though again they show ignornace.
I don't know if he is a racist, but he is ignorant as hell.
