And not beyond the scope on his control over one or two issue, but a decade and a half to newsletter sales.
‘ghost writer's’ writing over more than a decade, not ‘ghost writer’, singular.
Why hasn't he identified them? Presuming they're supporters, why haven't they come forward to take him off the hook?

You take my point to another level. 'Presuming they're supporters' is almost academic. If they weren't, Ron Paul would have quashed this at the beginning. And since Ron Paul himself admits he's denounced this for over a decade, their coming out now to take the blame would look like what it would be; a cover up.

And the beginning was over a decade ago. He could have put it to bed in some sense then by releasing all the newsletters then. Whether that would have flown, I don't know. I don't believe it's possible to write racist tracts under a public figures name and sell them for 15 years without the public figure noticing. And objecting, as in a lawsuit. But for those who insist on an excuse, it would have provided one.

For reference, links to newsletters if anyone cares to read them. About fifteen at the first link, six threads in the second group.

Also worth noting that, imo, were Ron Paul not a notable politician, based on the content of the newsletter, his writings would be banned on FR, as are many of his supporters, irrespective of content. If his newsletter were a website, it would be banned here, as are many of his supporters sites, from anitwar to lewrockwell to davidduke to stormfront
