Ron Paul is a racist douchebag... Among other things
The paulites love to dismiss Pauls writings like they were some one-off type of thing that he missed and accidently got published, here:

Cenk goes over it perfectly. He also goes over some of Pauls comments on gays... And this fucking guy calls himself a doctor?

Just two of the the reasons Paul should never hold any public office, much less considered for President.

1. Ron Paul really pissed me off with his response at the debate
He was basically like what? A hospital would never turn someone away! That's crazy!

So in addition to a racist conservative douchebag, to use your terminology, he's also a liar. He knows that's BS. At least the people who said yeah, we should let them die were honest.

2. Agreed
"Let them die" is exactly what he meant but was politically savvy enough to know not to say out right.

3. He is an old fool
It is long past time for him to leave the public stage.
I am sick of media giving people like him legitimacy, using him as someone they turn to for comment.

6. Ron Paul needs to put down the Ayn Rand books and retire.
Then he can collect his fat government pension and sit on the porch and complain how evil that government is for giving out pensions.

7. my brother really surprised me when he called and said Ron was dangerous
Big bro is an independent, so I expect any sort of nonsense to fly out of his mouth at times. But he watched the debate and said he was dangerous, as dangerous as most of the rest on the dais.

Stunned me speechless, actually. :wow:

8. He's a nitwit, but many young people think he's pro-pot so they like him for that reason.
They are young, don't understand what it was like in the days of segregation, and don't realize what a battle it was for non-discriminatory access to public places. They just don't see how horrible his POV is because they're lucky enough to not know the brutal reality of the past--it's just words in a history book.

They've got that "If it doesn't affect me, personally, I don't care" viewpoint. And they think he'll legalize pot.

9. Almost eerie - how much those quotes sound like they were penned by Lyndon LaRouche
self-proclaimed "leftist" authoritarian nutbag and libertarian anarchist... both with deep seated hatred for "the other" and authoritarian impulses of how to treat "the other".

11. Here's video of Rep. Paul refuting the charges. He keeps saying "the Blacks". And he also makes the

claim that its "impossible for Libertarians to be racist".

Thats funny because nearly all of the self identified "libertarians" I know are hardcore racists.

Fuck Ron Paul, he's a crotchety and senile old bastard. He owns these comments 100% as they were published with his blessing.

His boy is a real piece of shit too, but thats another thread.

13. Why does it not make sense?
It is not like he is much of a doctor... He does not even accept evolution:
