<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><BR>Thanks, Sunil.<BR><BR><FONT color=#8064a2><FONT

<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.

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 so did I.</SPAN><SPAN
