    "Ron Paul’s 1980 and 1990’s newsletters — and their incendiary content — are coming to the forefront of the campaign as the candidate surges to the front of the pack in Iowa.

    It’s hard to overstate just how extreme these publications are, from comparing blacks to zoo animals to speculating about Israeli involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Paul denies having written or read the offensive material in question, but even a casual glance at the newsletters would have revealed their basic formula. As a recently uncovered direct mail piece advertising the newsletters demonstrates, the most out there passages were the chief selling point, not out-of-context asides.

    The New Republic, which first obtained the archives during the 2008 campaign, have recently posted images of several issues of the newsletters. Here are 10 of the most shocking quotes from the publications and related materials.

    1. “Order was only restored in LA when it came time for the blacks to collect their welfare checks. The ‘poor’ lined up at the Post Office to get their handouts (since there were no deliveries) — and then complained about slow service.” -Report on LA riots, June 1992

    2. “I’ve been told not to talk, but these stooges don’t scare me. Threats or no threats, I’ve laid bare the coming race war in our big cities. The federal-homosexual cover-up on AIDS (my training as a physician helps me see through this one.)” -Direct mail ad promoting Paul’s newsletters, written from Paul’s perspective, 1993

    3. “It is human nature that like attracts likes. But whites are not allowed to express this same human impulse. Except in a de facto sense, there can be no white schools, white clubs, or white neighborhoods. The political system demands white integration, while allowing black segregation.” -‘The Disappearing White Majority,’ January 1993

    4. “I miss the closet. Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities. They could also not be as promiscuous. Is it any wonder the AIDS epidemic started after they ‘came out of the closet,’ and started hyper-promiscuous sodomy?” -June 1990

    5. “Whether [the 1993 World Trade Center bombing] was a setup by the Israeli Mossad, as a Jewish friend of mine suspects, or was truly a retaliation by the Islamic fundamentalists, matters little.” -‘The New York Bombing,’ April 1993

    6. “An ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example).” ‘Blast ‘Em’, October 1992

    7. “The opposition will do its best to provoke some precipitous action on on our part to discredit us and our cause. Follow the orders of Captain Parker at Lexington: Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” -Militia’s 10-point advice to other militias, January 1995.

    8. “When the New Money is imposed, every American family must have a Survival Kit of highly liquid, small-denomination silver and gold coins for hand-to-hand use. The Ron Paul Survival Kit — now an industry standard — comes in an official World War II US Army ammo holder.” -Ad for ‘The Original Famous Ron Paul Survival Kit,’ undated

    9. “[Martin Luther King, Jr.], the FBI files reveal, was not only a world-class adulterer, he also seduced underage girls and boys…And we are supposed to honor this ‘Christian minister’ and lying socialist satyr with a holiday that puts him on par with George Washington?” -December 1990

    10. “It turns out that the brilliant [Bobby Fischer], who has all the makings of an American hero, is very politically incorrect on Jewish questions, for which he will never be forgiven, even though he is a Jew. Thus we are not supposed to herald him as the world’s greatest chess player.” -November 1992, background on Fischer’s “politically incorrect” views (which include Holocaust denial) here.

    Sweet stuff, eh: RONPAULbots?

    Waycist? I will let the reader make that call. :eyepopping:

    That said: Dr. Ron Paul is a bald faced liar, (that is real clear). He made money on these letters, and he owns them 100%.

    Dr. Ron Paul is a skinny, squeaky voiced, angry, nasty, grumpy old loon in orbit around Neptune :psychoitc: that blames n' hates America almost as much, no on second thought: JUST AS MUCH as the hard Left does. :eye:

    Those who really hate n' blame America have their candidate: Dr. Ron Paul.

    "Shocking" to an overly politically-correct nutjob maybe but not to real people unless they're actors.

    Prove that he wrote them or even had knowledge of them at the time.

    Prove he made money off those specific newsletters.

    Put up or shut up, don't go around spouting off baseless claims.

    Ron Paul is entitled to his opinions ...

    American citizens are Free to Vote for who they like.

    Enough said.

    Its not up to us to prove anything...
    The new letters bore Pauls name.. and signature at the bottom.
    He said he earned money from them..Baseless claims ?


    It wasn't a Romney's Newsletter with his signature at the bottom.

    Paul has made numerous conspiracy quotes and world ending theories even today.Just like the new letters had years ago..not much of a reach IMO.

    That doesn't even make sense.
    The newsletters, not written by Ron Paul, defended white and korean businesses that were being burned down and pillaged by an insane mob.

    You defend the insane mob.

    Why do you hate America and law abiding business owners?

    He has said he didn't, if you are calling him a liar...prove it.


    You are making the accusations. Prove them or admit you are full of (*)(*)(*)(*).

    You just continue to lose credibility.

    Glad to see OldMercsRule lacks a standard of evidence.

    No proof that Paul wrote the comments? Oh, I suppose the argument can simply be dismissed as non-sense.

    Folks can't prove it because it's not true. Paul has never wrote or spoken anything like what was in those news letters. He has a long transparent and respectable public service carreer in Medicine and politics. Where is all the racist claims from mexican or black mothers of babies he has deliverd?

    It's pure bs and people who research it know that and people who have known Paul already know he is about liberty and not race wars.

    More failed propaganda by msm an it's sheep

    Are you just trolling us Ron Paul supporters for fun? Because that is what it looks like to me when you just repeat yourself like this.

    I am starting to doubt you actually even give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about Ron Paul, you probably are just trolling and laughing behind your computer screen when people get mad at you.

    Well, it is true.



    It is not as if you cannot understand where these people are coming from. There are some elements of truth to these quotes, however offensive some people may find them. Perhaps the government should do a better job of promoting fairness in the justice system, and protecting the currency from devaluation.


    Well, I highly doubt he seduced any boys, but there certainly may be some truth to the rest of these allegations. Naming a holdiday after him was controversial. Better to have named it "forced racial inclusion day".


    This is as true as all the quotes above.

    OK, just for starters, if any such letters were printed with Obama's name on them he wouldn't be POTUS. Another old saying is also wrong; "All Republicans are not racists, but all racists are Republican"--apparently there are a bunch of Libertarian racists also. Paul is also against the Civil Rights act, mainly because it intentionally misinterpreted the 14th amendment. There are flaws in every ideology, I just believe the flaws in Paul's ideology make in untenable in a modern society. The GOP has a reasonable set of fundamental tenants, but, good luck in finding a reasonable Republican.

    He is against the civil rights act in principle only, and only because of his libertarian ideology- not because he is a racist. And he even specifically stated that he would not seek to alter the civil rights laws. It is too much of a volatile hot potato for any sane politician to touch.
