His campaign was marred buy violence of his supporters, he called the US the “Great Satan,” and he urged his supporters to “necklace” his opponents. This was in 1991. I guess namecalling is easier than researching.

Apparently "researching" to you means reading the columns of gay activist/Ron Paul supporter/Milosevic apologist Justin Raimondo.

The reports of necklacing came from the 1996 split between the OPL party and Aristide's Lavalas faction, when there was open violence in the streets between Aristide supporters and his former allies.

But keep digging.

back to the topic of the thread:

Ron Paul is a lying weasel, as demonstrated by the libertarian Reason Magazine's inability to justify his continuously changing story about his whacko newsletter.

A freeper defending Aristide. Imagine that. Next, you’ll be defending Chavez and Castro (both of whom your pal Aristide admires).

I think I see why the Aristide issue keeps coming up, they like Marxist Military Coups. Paul seems to have taken the opposite approach to Haiti. He was the only member of Congress in September not to pass a resolution urging Haiti to conduct fair, free, and peaceful elections.

No - 1991.

See the article I just posted to you previously.

You have gotten nearly every fact you’ve cited wrong.

I’ve posted links rebutting each one.

I am sure this will only earn more namecalling.
