Ron Paul is not a racist!

if this is your source: gallup

show me where it says most people aren't buying it

 

Dujac, if you're going to post something to prove racism on Ron Pauls part, please make sure to show me something that well..actually shows a racist comment coming from Paul.

That image says nothing except whites and asians were targeted....

Oh, and try not to grab stuff off of the CNN website

notice how it says ron paul report

you've already shown that your denials don't take reality into account

 

Notice how i quoted you. Must mean you wrote it right.

 

what a joke, ron paul's newsletters are going to get more and more daylight over the next week or so, it's time to wake up to reality

 

NEWSFLASH!!!

They have had 22 years of daylight. You need to wake up.

 

you're wrong, they've been around for more than 30 years and exposure is a matter of aperture/time

 

Prove it. Show me dates.

 

no problem, ron paul first published newsletters in the 1970's


Paul’s newsletters have carried different titles over the years--Ron Paul’s Freedom Report, Ron Paul Political Report, The Ron Paul Survival Report--but they generally seem to have been published on a monthly basis since at least 1978.

i would think you'd get tired of been wrong so often

 

Ughhhh....drives me crazy.

 

when you don't embrace truth, it can be hurtful

 

In 1979 Ron Paul voted yes for the MARTIN LUTHER KING HOLIDAY... Who voted NO? 1. Newt Gingrich 2. Dick Cheney 3. Phil Graham 4. Trent Lott This is 11 years before the news letter scandal. Does that sound like he is a racist to you?



PS: A HISTORY LESSON:
https://www.facebook.com/notes/flo-hoffman/a-must-read-and-pass-on/10150442693288795

 

See, He didnt write it. But his names on it. So lets demonize him for it!!!

 

you're confused, reagan signed the law, that made martin luther king's birthday a federal holiday, in 1983

it's really quite amusing that you think propaganda posted on face book is an accurate history lesson

 

This isnt facebook:

The only newsletters anyone's complaining about are from the early 90's. So what is it....he only became a racist more than 10 years after he started the newsletters? That just happens to be when he was busy delivering babies, which makes his explanation more believable....unless you want us to believe he had an aversion to vaginas that stirred up racist feelings in him.

 

and that isn't the law that made martin luther king's birthday a federal holiday

you really should read your sources before you post them, if you don't have first hand knowledge


The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed on January 20, 1986.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr._Day


you see, i lived through this stuff so i know the difference between the legislation that made king's birthday a federal holiday and the bill that just changed the date of observance

 

Well show me the law that:

Otherwise shut the muck up.

 

it's already done, have a little patience and try to focus on what i wrote in post #117

also, try to develop some integrity and educate yourself properly on the historical issues we're discussing

if you stop trying to bend the facts to fit your political rhetoric, you won't end up looking foolish so often

 

The wiki article is wrong.

"...After King's death, United States Representative John Conyers (a Democrat from Michigan) and United States Senator Edward Brooke (a Republican from Massachusetts) introduced a bill in Congress to make King's birthday a national holiday. The bill first came to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1979. However, it fell five votes short of the number needed for passage..."

According to this website:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h1979-624

The bill passed.

Try to come up with something that isnt in wikipedia.

 

that bill was to change the date of general observance, it didn't make mlk day a federal holiday

it says clearly in the source you posted earlier: "TO AMEND H.R. 5461, MARTIN LUTHER KING HOLIDAY, BY DESIGNATING THE THIRD MONDAY IN JANUARY RATHER THAN JANUARY 15 AS THE LEGAL HOLIDAY."

 

I will add that the citation for the wiki article claiming that the bill failed, was an essay:

2. ^ a b Wolfensberger, Don (January 14, 2008 ). "The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday: The Long Struggle in Congress, An Introductory Essay". Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Archived from the original on January 16, 2011. Retrieved January 16, 2011.

 

The whole (*)(*)(*)(*)ing point here genius (satire), Is that Ron Paul voted YES to a bill about a BLACK DUDE.

 

you really have no clue what you're talking about


Helms Stalls King's Day In Senate

By Helen Dewar

Washington Post Staff Writer

Tuesady, October 4, 1983; Page A01

Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), charging that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. espoused "action-oriented Marxism" and other "radical political" views, yesterday temporarily blocked Senate action on a House-passed bill to create a new national holiday in memory of the slain civil rights leader.

wrong, he only voted to change the date of observance

he voted against the bill to make mlk day a federal holiday

here's a good source with the time-line of mlk day history: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/mlkhistory1.html



this is from that essay

Conyers would persist year after year, Congress after Congress, in introducing the same bill again and again, gathering cosponsors along the way, until his persistence finally paid off some 15 years later when President Ronald Reagan signed the King Holiday bill into law on November 2, 1983.

ron paul voted against that bill, i remember calling the library of congress to confirm it

here's an article about ron's vote on the holiday:
