For everyone who is saying that the comments aren't that bad and are just 'PC' crap, you just got pawned by the paul campaign. They just released a response:

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – In response to an article published by The New Republic, Ron Paul issued the following statement: “The quotations in The New Republic article are not mine and do not represent what I believe or have ever believed. I have never uttered such words and denounce such small-minded thoughts.

So, I guess the campaign is calling some of you all 'small minded' who are defending the comments. Sorry.

"you just got pawned by the paul campaign"

That will not phase them. When one lacks common sense and a sense of reality, a slick internet driven campaign, and a willingness to march to a new religion will easily do the trick.
