“No changing the subject, Ronulans.”
OK - try this.
Post one of the many articles demonstrating Fred’s support of Aristide back in the day.... and see how long it takes before the thread is removed.
If our newsmedia were doing there jobs, instead of pimping another Bushhater, ie, Michael Moore.
His raising of bloodmoney from the UnAmerican Democrat Party members, and Alex Jones conspirazoids should have run him out of the country as a traitor.
But no, modern day Americans put tolerance as their highest virtue, so much so that we find ourselves with no others.
It's pathetic that so many losers on FR are destroying their reputations by defending this pustulent sack of traitorous effluvia.
Wrong! Here are the relevant Texas Monthly remarks: "but those words weren’t really written by me. It wasn’t my language at all... They were never my words, but I had some moral responsibility for them . . ."
Here's what the above post states: "Dr. Paul denied suggestions that he was a racist and said he was not evoking stereotypes when he wrote the columns."
Paul never states he wrote the columns in the Texas Monthly article. The newspaper quotes him as saying so. Big difference. Paul is a fraud.
I f I had been held captive that long and been torture “Gook” would be the “kinder gentler” term I would come up with. Do you really want to put the great Haiti embargo as the thing to blast Fred over. Is that your big gun? I mean FReepers are still all tore up about Aristide.
From Dallas Morning News 1996:
...Dr. Paul denied suggestions that he was a racist and said he was not evoking stereotypes when he wrote the columns. He said they should be read and quoted in their entirety to avoid misrepresentation.
From 2008 Press Release:
I have never uttered such words and denounce such small-minded thoughts.
So what is it, they were never his words and anyone that utters them is small minded or they were his words and just taken out of context?
Go away? That would be nice.
The Claxton Army drinks as much Kool Aid as the RAT moonbats
When the biggest libertarian magazine in the country abandons you, it’s time to fade away quietly.
Very Clown Posseesque. Thanks for posting.
I just got in and already Paul haters are butchering the English language. Did you hear your boy Rudy is too broke to pay his staff this month? Way to go.
Again, the Texas Monthly had the entire story and you know it. Paul foolishly stood by the newsletter when it first came out. He admitted his mistake back in 2001. Now.....when do you think Fred will admit he supported Aristide not the embargo? We’re still waiting. On the other hand.....if you’re looking for the perfect candidate, you should repudiate Fred because he doesn’t make the grade either by your standard.
Time for Paul to slither back to obscurity. His cult can continue to follow and defend him but America will reject him for what he is.
When Thompson supported Aristide in 1991, he was supporting a democratically elected executive who was displaced by a military coup.
The Aristide of 1991 was not Aristide the dictator of 2004.
Actually, Thompson was much like a Ron Paul supporter in one respect: he was taken in by the rhetoric of a scummy charlatan who claimed to be a man of principle.
Unlike Ron Paul supporters, who continue to make excuses for their favorite traitor, Fred Thompson did not drink the Kool Aid and no longer supported Aristide when he violated the haitian Constitution.
Glad to see you supported the marxists overthrowing a democratically elected government and expected everyone at the time to have a magic time machine to predict what would happen after Aristide returned from exile.
I guess that is possible on the Enterprise where the jump around in time on dozens of episodes. This is the real world.
You beat me to it..
So he was either lying then about writing that newsletter or he is lying now.
Which is it?
So he is a fool, heck, I didn’t even go that far..
"Dr. Paul, who served in Congress in the late 1970s and early 1980s, said Tuesday that he has produced the newsletter since 1985 and distributes it to an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 subscribers. A phone call to the newsletter's toll-free number was answered by his campaign staff. [...]
"Dr. Paul denied suggestions that he was a racist and said he was not evoking stereotypes when he wrote the columns. He said they should be read and quoted in their entirety to avoid misrepresentation. [...]"
Dr. Paul clearly admits producing newsletters, and a phone call to the telephone number in the article goes to his campaign staff. His denials are worthless.
