Is Ron Paul a racist? An examination of the Ron Paul Newsletters. by Jake Morphonios

Rumors that the New Republic would be releasing a damning expose on Ron Paul on the day of the New Hampshire primaries caught my attention as I drove in to work today. Sure enough, around 3pm EST the Drudge Report posted not one, but two, links to the story in bold red font.
I read the article. I read the quotes. As I am very familiar with Ron Paul's articulate style of writing and speaking, I immediately recognized that the shocking quotes could not be his. The quotes were ignorant, angry, used poor grammar and did not reflect Paul's style in any way. In rereading the news story, the fact that the author admitted that Ron Paul denied the quotes were his was tucked away in the shadows and the attack against Paul continued.
This was a hatchet job - cold, calculated and poised to cause maximum damage to the political aspirations of Ron Paul and his freedom-loving supporters.
The clear insinuation is that Ron Paul is anti-gay, anti-black, anti-Jew, supports the KKK and advocates that the superior white race should arm itself in preparation for a grand race war with the inferiors among us. This low blow is nefarious and indicative of the lengths to which enemies of Paul's message of strict-constitutionalism will go to defend the status quo.
I, for one, hope that Dr. Paul will exercise his right to defend himself from this defamation of character in court.
This is politics at its dirtiest. Now it is time to respond.

If you refuse to look at the actions of a man for temperance of judgment then you truly castrate you mind and make it easy to arrive at wrong conclusion.
The weak minded are easily led by the bridle of emotion.
Racism is not consistent with the philosophy expressed by Ron Paul. He has rebutted these accusations from the same distortions in previous days.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that I would trust with my money and my family's safety.
