Does it matter whether or not the allegations are true? Or do
we just call them out anyway?<br>
<br>
Here is an article from CBS News about the newsletters:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57345702-503544/ron-paul-disavows-racist-newsletters-under-his-name/">http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57345702-503544/ron-paul-disavows-racist-newsletters-under-his-name/</a><br>
<br>
The article contains a quote by Ron Paul on the issue: <br>
<br>
"When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time,
a newsletter was published under my name that I did not edit.
Several writers contributed to the product," he said. "For
over a decade, I have publicly taken moral responsibility for
not paying closer attention to what went out under my name."<br>
<br>
I'd hate to see the man dragged over the coals for something
he might not have deserved solely because (for example) Jon
Huntsman is losing to Ron Paul in New Hampshire and has staked
his campaign on a strong showing there.<br>
<br>
I got that last bit from this article:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57349712-503544/huntsman-calls-ron-paul-unelectable-because-of-racist-newsletters/">http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57349712-503544/huntsman-calls-ron-paul-unelectable-because-of-racist-newsletters/</a><br>
<br>
And once again, this is only out there in order to distract
us. These people could care less if it's even true. It's
just convenient.<br>

<div dir="ltr"> I don't think you're defending racism,
racist behavior, or even the wrongness of screaming "He's
a racist!" at the slightest apparent provocation. That
said, I think it's imperative that legitimate indications
that an individual's views on race/gender/class/civil
rights/culture are bigoted be called out, examined, and
condemned -- and I believe that the text of Ron Paul's
newsletters are an example. <br>

I would rue the day that racist behavior and
bigoted views become irrelevant in how we choose
our leaders. There are issues that truly good
people can disagree on; racism, however, is
never the view of a "truly good person," and in
fact ought to, by virtue of popular outcry,
immediately make a pariah out of the one who
embraces it.<br>
