Here's a video from a MeetUp organizer in South Carolina, an articulate and energetic African-American woman. Very nice, captures the essence of RP's appeal to all groups.
Yes, I have seen that quote before. SJackson has used it several times. The problem is that, as I said, these aren't columns written for the AFP. They're merely reprints of uncopyrighted columns from his House website. Yet, SJackson continues to imply that they were written for the AFP by using that misleading quote.
BTW, if you use the google search engine on the AFP home page limiting the search to AFP, you’ll get 144 hits on Paul and 51 on Ron Paul within that website.
Nearly all of those are articles which merely mention Congressman Paul at some point. Only a couple appear to actually be written by him.
About the only defense remaining to you and GWB would be a claim that Ron Paul has not authorized them to use his name or his work. That is a rather weak defense open to attack along these lines: “Why hasn’t Ron Paul denied an organization of this nature, the use of his name or works?”
He hasn't specifically authorized them to do so. I don't know whether he could deny them permission to use his columns while maintaining their status as uncopyrighted works, so having them reprinted in some undesirable places is the price you pay for having the columns distributed as widely as possible.
