Let me ask the same question of you since I have, as you kindly admit, condemned Paul’s lie. Will, you on record now, and hold Fred to the same standard or haven’t you been deprogrammed yet? If not, you are just as bad, or worse, than the most reflexive of the Paulbots.
That gun confiscation was a hell of an accomplishment for Rudy. What a dreamboat.
“That gun confiscation was a hell of an accomplishment for Rudy. What a dreamboat.”
Rudy “Sanctuary City” Giuliani - and that was AFTER the 1993 WTC bombing.
He’s sooooo dreamy!
I WISH Rudy was just a dream!
No, Fred said he was against the embargo and NOT for the restoration of Aristide. Some of his supporters later backtracked when shown this was a lie. Paul won’t the name the editor I suspect out of a misplaced belief (but admirable) that he screwed up by letting it be published under his name and should take the bullet himself.
Its sad as a part of me really wants to believe.
He just has way top many weird things not to mention followers.

Paul said in 2001 that he took full moral responsibility for it - as he did a few weeks ago.
Hey, all because you're all about Jonathan Archer is no reason to jump down my throat, OK? At least my guy got a full 7 seasons.

Kirk gets better hotel rates!

Full moral responsibility for what?
Publishing a newsletter filled with racist content, lying about it, or refusing to take responsibility for it for over a decade?
This is a Ron Paul thread.
*****************
That's the point, isn't it? Paul's fans can't defend his history.
Lurking, it’s not even worth arguing with them anymore. Every time you make a point, they’ll go, “Ooooohh, shiny!”
“Ron Paul HAS claimed responsiblity and accepted blame.”
Him and his zoo keeper snyder have been out there denying that paul even wrote the damn newsletters.
Even Erik Dondero, who hates Paul’s guts, doesn’t think Paul wrote the articles.
“McCain will fully apologize for callling the Vietnamese gooks “
I don’t think that is needed.
Supporting the restoration of Aristide at the time of the 1991 coup and supporting the restoration of Aristide in 1994 are two different things.
And the question of whether the embargo was a good idea or not is an open one.
Paul won’t the name the editor I suspect out of a misplaced belief (but admirable) that he screwed up by letting it be published under his name and should take the bullet himself.
That won't wash. He isn't taking the bullet himself, he is out there saying that it was the mystery editor and not himself who is responsible for what was published.
Why would he defend someone who betrayed him by making him out to be a racist and an anti-Semite?
Simply not true. It does note that Paul foolishly defended the comments in 1996 but that has been known since 2001 when he volunteered the information himself to Texas Monthly.
