Since my article "Angry White Man" was posted on our website last Tuesday, many have asked who the author of Ron Paul's newsletters could have been. Published since at least the late 1970s--and at their most incendiary from 1987 to 1996--these newsletters have at times been filled with conspiratorial warnings about the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group, animus towards black and gay people, and sympathy for right-wing, anti-government militia movements. Many libertarian bloggers have intimated or concluded that the man chiefly responsible for this content was Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., Paul's former congressional chief of staff and the founder of the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama. John Robbins, who succeeded Rockwell as Paul's chief of staff, released an "Open Letter to Lew Rockwell" on the Internet last week. "This week, for the third time, the puerile, racist, and completely un-Pauline comments that all informed people say you have caused to appear in Ron's newsletters over the course of several years have become an issue in his campaign," Robbins wrote. "Your callous disregard for both Ron and his millions of supporters is unconscionable." Rockwell, however, in an interview conducted before "Angry White Man" was published, denied that he had any role in writing the newsletters.
Hours after my article appeared on the TNR website, the Paul campaign released a statement.

This is exactly why the President is required under the Constitution to get the Congress unambiguously on record before putting troops in harm's way.
But Congress was, they just didn't declare war with the implications that entailed. Most of our fighting has been done without a declaration of war going back to Adams.
Just for your information Congress need not declare war all out; it can, in times such as these, do what it did. That’s what happened in the time of the undeclared wars between the Revolution and 1812.
I dislike a lot of Paul's policies.
I do not suck at written English.
I suck at typing, but not at written English.
What's a "pausse"?
I hope it's not what I think it is.
Nutcase Paul may be, but I always thought he was a MALE nutcase.
That percentage will swell if the Reps nominate anybody but Thompson or Hunter.
In America, a candidate can take funds from whomever or whatever interest group that they would choose to accept them from, Paul is not shy being photographed with this “dude”, if they wish to spend their money in an attempt to use their first amendment rights, then why all of the PC stuff?
It's a typo but apparently a few FReepers have decided to give it a more colorful interpretation.
