As with almost any issue with respect to Ron Paul, he supports
states rights as opposed to federal rights. He opposes any effort
to define marriage at the federal level, including marriage between
one man and one woman.<br>
<br>
Here's some info from Wikipedia:

I thought Paul had answered "Why not?" to the question of his
views on allowing gay men and lesbians to marry. Maybe I'm
wrong, though.<br>
<br>
Once again, it occurs to me, as I imagine it does to most
people, that civil rights and foundational norms of justice are
too important, like educational standards, to be different from
state to state.<br>
<br>
I guess this would make me a really bad paleo- or
neo-Confederate, for which I'm terribly, endlessly, grateful. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Being a racist doesn't mean he's wrong on these
issues, Sunil -- but it means that, as Ron Paul (if he is,
in fact, a racist), he should be applauded for those views
he holds that are correct and challenged on any that you, I,
or anyone else disagrees with. It doesn't mean he ought to
run for office, or that we ought to vote for him.<br>
<br>
There are plenty of people, I imagine, who are right about
the issues you mention below who aren't bigots, and who --
perhaps more germane to the conversation -- wouldn't gut the
social services that make this country not only habitable
(imperfect and imperfectly delivered as they are), but
moral. I think you and I see the defense/national security
issues fairly similarly, and we likely also applaud Paul's
views on legalizing marijuana, gay marriage, and maybe a
couple of other issues. Nonetheless, even those areas on
which I agree with Paul -- the ones I just mentioned and the
ones you did -- aren't enough for me either to vote for him,
or overlook what at least the most fervent Paul supporter
would acknowledge was carelessness in letting bigots crank
out his newsletter. <br>
<br>
The cumulative effect of Paul's economic and some of his
social policies will harm more people -- people already
marginalized and suffering -- than the hundreds of thousands
this and the previous war-courting administrations have. Do
I take any comfort in that? <br>
<br>
No. Not at all. But I have to vote for the man who seems
to have more, better answers than the one who has one or two
good ones. And I can't afford to combine the worst of both
Obama and Paul by risking the horror of, say, a Perry or
Bachmann presidency.<br>

He has admitted to putting out an investment
newsletter that (as far as I can tell) was not one of
the newsletters that printed the racist comments. It
had all sorts of conspiracy theories about what will
happen to people trying to deal in large amounts of
cash, most of which have come true - just not in the
way he thought. Try taking a large pile of cash
through airport security and see how well that goes.<br>
<br>
Another distraction attempt, supposedly a smoking gun,
apparently succeeds in its goals. Or maybe this is
just jumping on the bandwagon, since it is the Daily
Mail, after all.<br>

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"
class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57345702-503544/ron-paul-disavows-racist-newsletters-under-his-name/"
target="_blank">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"
class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57349712-503544/huntsman-calls-ron-paul-unelectable-because-of-racist-newsletters/"

<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>

racist behavior and bigoted views
become irrelevant in how we choose our

good people can disagree on; racism,
however, is never the view of a "truly

make a pariah out of the one who

as “theatrical issues” when you’re

doesn't negate the
evidence. For what
it's worth, he
claims that he
didn't write those
newsletters that
were put out in his
name. Like you've
shown, a person can
be compassionate and
still be racist.
Being racist is not
a black and white
thing, no pun
intended. It's
something that can
change over a period
of years. I grew up
in a casually racist
household, and had
to unlearn much of
that over the years,
as did my parents.
It's easy to fall
into that trap when
you grow up with it
and everyone around
you thinks the same
thing. As society
changed, so did
those around me, and

Texas
grandfather
was a racist

would have
denied the
vote, the
right to serve
on juries
(along with
women) and
most
especially the
right to sit
up front in
public
transportation.
