Admitted, this is from a leftist website and also to be fair, several of the comments Paul recently denied writing and claimed this was by a staffer, but the New Republic has gotten a hold of a lot more newsletters than have been released thus far.

I think the campaign's response near the end is far more telling.

bump for review.

Well, I’m not an angry white man, but I don’t hate the guy. I think he has integrity, that is to say, he means what he says and isn’t a phony. That’s rare. Unfortunately a lot of what he says is horrendous. I HATE his America bashing. It is really over the top. You’d think we were the worst nation in the world, rather than the best. Have we as a nation done anything right in his eyes?

I think he’s a fellow Christian. I think he’s pro-life. I think he’s conservative as to his economic policies. I think he’s a constitution fan. Those are the areas I can agree with him on.

To be fair, the Gays for Ron Paul Blog has found some inconsistencies with the author.

Sounds like TNR is trying to stop the bleeding of radical anti-war leftie moonbats toward the Paul campaign and get them back on the Rat reservation. I figured it was a leftist hit piece when I saw the anti-Southern slams about a third of the way down (where DiLorenzo was mentioned).

That having been said, these old newsletters, despite the fact that they have a lot of truth in them, are something that Paul’s about to get beaten over the head with pretty hard. Truth is no defense in the modern media.

This is proof that the left thinks Rue Paul will take more votes from them. I’m relieved. He’s a nut, but nuts can be very dangerous.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

This is the same guy that was on Tucker Carlson’s show last night. He said Ron Paul speaks “in code”.

That’ll do wonders for your credibility.

[FormerACLUmember]

Paul is a nut.

[jdsteel]

Did’ja see RP on Leno last night? His supporters cheered when he mentioned one Democrat that he got along with....Dennis Kucinich!!! Doesn’t that explain everything?

[Soliton]

Kooksinich in’t a bigot like RP. He wants to ensave us all equally.

Interesting

More infighting from the left. And what with Clinton apparently tanking, and the ramifications from that, this is gearing up to be a fun political season.

[from occupied ga]

"and that black congresswoman Barbara Jordan is "the archetypical half-educated victimologist" whose "race and sex protect her from criticism."

Paul is a nut.

Yep true nuttiness at it's best. I'm sure Jordan never played the race card, and everyone knows that the black Kongressional Caucus is one of the best educated groups of people on the planet.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Leave it to a leftist to make Ron Paul almost sound appealing.

[DM1]

Ron Paul is Magneto!!!!

[mnehring]

Paul has appeared on his (Alex Jones) radio program about 40 times over the past twelve years.
SJackson, I just saw this... I think I have to fix what I've been saying, I thought he was only on there about six times. Who was it who said that just going on a 'couple of times' is no proof of a relationship or something on those lines?

[trumandogz]

It is long past time that the Nut Bag-Racist Ron Paul was taken out of the Race.

Kudos to the New Republic for great journalism and hard work.

[mnehring]

To be fair, pinging some of the more rational Paul apologists.
