Are you confused or feigning ignorance? The best way to be clear about Dr. Paul's thoughts and intentions is to read his own words and let him speak for himself if he should, in retrospect, wish to clarify himself. The title of this thread implies that Dr. Paul considers black people to be animals, and as such some folks would associate him directly, or indirectly with racists. I would expect such semantic thuggery from the DBM, but not from people who post here.

". . . I represent what Republicanism used to be. I represent the group that wanted to get rid of the Department of Education, the part, that part of the Republican Party that used to be non-interventionists overseas. That was the tradition, the Robert/Taft wing of the party. There was a time when the Republicans defended individual liberty and the Constitution and decreased spending. So the radicals, the ones who really don't belong in the Republican Party and why the Republican Party is shrinking, why the base is so small, is because they don't stand for these ideals any more. So I stand for the ideals of the Republican Party. I've been elected 10 times as Republican. I've been a Republican all my life except for that one year that I ran as a Libertarian. But, no, I represent the Republican ideals, I think, much more so that the individuals running for the party right now." -Ron Paul
