He's already said that he didn't write them, that he regrets them, but that he takes responsibility for them since they were written under his name.

There was a newsletter that went out under Dr. Paul's name 15 or so years ago that contained some things written by someone else. It's been debunked numerous times. The link to the text of the actual newsletter is in one of the other thread (I don't recall which, RedBean is currently trolling four of them I think), from an old usenet group.

The funny thing is that I know for a fact that Ron Paul is not a racist; but trolls like RedBean have to make hay somehow. They certainly can't beat Dr. Paul on his message, freedom, so they have to try to smear him. It's a pathetic tactic. Perhaps he'll take a page from BluffThis and accuse him of being a "self-loathing Jew" next.

Borodog,

Thanks for the link. Skimmed over the other thread that went into this debacle. I personally don't see much reason to deem this guy a racist.

Prima facie evidence that you must be a racist also.

There isn't. I know from personal knowledge there isn't. But aside from my personal knowledge, regardless of how anybody feels about his politics, Ron Paul has literally tens of thousands of written pages and hundreds of hours of taped speeches that can be read and listened to. The crap RedBean is dredging up is unlike ANYTHING else in that body of work. When historians, and not internet trolls, see something like this, it makes them suspicious that something has been interpolated by someone else into the body of work of the writer, like the Jesus accounts in Josephus, or the Lincoln letter to Mrs. Bixby. But to internet trolls, its all just [censored] for the [censored] sling.
