As the article says, sometimes satire writes itself. Credit to Ben Swann for breaking the story.

The more I look into this the more I'm wondering if Ben is being set up. I hope he is covering his bases. I guess I'll check in the morning for his updated story.

Great find.

Here are a couple of the real racists:

 I'm certainly no fan of DU and MCR is not nearly respected as much as he was a dozen+ years ago, but both articles are must reads. This is probably what annoys me the most about left/right supporters using that Ron Paul is a racist BS.

Reality Check: The story behind the Ron Paul newsletters
http://www.fox19.com/story/16449477/reality-check-the-story-behind-the-ron-paul-newsletters

(FOX19) - The talk of Ron Paul's racist newsletters has been all over the news for the past few weeks and seem to dominate all of the Congressman's interviews.

So what about these newsletters is true and what is the rest of the media not telling you?

Starting as far back as 1976, Congressman Paul published a newsletter.  It has gone by several names. The Ron Paul Political Report, The Ron Paul Investment Letter, etc.

That newsletter was largely an investment newsletter, dealing with currency, gold and investments.  That was the case from 1976 to 1988.

Over the course of those 144 editions, no racist content.

To understand this story, you have to look at the timeline.

In 1984 Paul gave up his seat in Congress when he made an unsuccessful run for the Senate.

In 1985 he went back to Texas to continue to practice medicine full time as an OB-GYN.

His return to politics as a Congressman was in 1996.

In 2007 when Congressman Paul was last running for president, a newspaper called The New Republic found copies hard copies of the newsletters, and these, they reported, were filled with racist, anti-homosexual and conspiracy oriented content.
