The Second Coming of the Great Political Thread

[Pessimism]

I seriously laughed at the 'homosexual amputee' comment

Selections from Ron Paul's newsletters here.

"Basically, this reporter found a bunch of old newletters Ron Paul sent out in the early 90s that had racist or homophobic material in them. Ron Paul's people have went back and forth on whether he wrote them, edited them, or had nothing to do with them. Either way, doesn't look too good for Ron Paul and the

Anyways, enough of that crap. On to the good stuff!"

This newsletter describes Martin Luther King Jr. as "a world-class adulterer" who "seduced underage girls and boys" and "replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration."

Ron Pual by way of TNR.com posted:

An October 1990 edition of the Political Report ridicules black activists, led by Al Sharpton, for demonstrating at the Statue of Liberty in favor of renaming New York City after Martin Luther King. The newsletter suggests that "Welfaria," "Zooville," "Rapetown," "Dirtburg," and "Lazyopolis" would be better alternatives--and says, "Next time, hold that demonstration at a food stamp bureau or a crack house."

In the course of defending homophobic comments by Andy Rooney of CBS, a 1990 newsletter notes that a reporter for a gay magazine "certainly had an axe to grind, and that's not easy with a limp wrist."

Ron Pual by way of TNR.com posted:

A January 1994 edition of the Survival Report states that "gays in San Francisco do not obey the dictates of good sense," adding: "[T]hese men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners." Also, "they enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick."

Ron Pual by way of TNR.com posted:

In an undated solicitation letter for The Ron Paul Investment Letter and the Ron Paul Political Report, Paul writes: "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.) The Bohemian Grove--perverted, pagan playground of the powerful. Skull & Bones: the demonic fraternity that includes George Bush and leftist Senator John Kerry, Congress's Mr. New Money. The Israeli lobby, which plays Congress like a cheap harmonica."

I never bothered to check up on the real situation behind the quotes; I have heard that he didn't write them and that it was some aid, but he still accepts responsibility or something - either way, I think the quotes are pretty lawl.

Yeah, if he really was homophobic, his stance on gay marriage wouldn't be to allow each state to make up their minds about it, he just wouldn't support it.

 

[Pessimism]

I burst into laughter at the third quote

 

[Zephyrus]

Quite the comedian, he seems.

 

[cookiecutter]

This man is insane

 

[The Ozzman]

None of those are actually sanctioned Ron Paul quotes. There's no proof he said any of that.

 

[skeptik]

I would be more willing to vote for him if he did write them though, because those are fucking funny. As it stands now, he has no worthy attributes.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Heheh.

Oh man, that shit is too funny.

Ron Paul FTW! (those arent his quotes)

 

[panzerfaust666]

bumped.


So today is Super Tuesday, so far Barack O'bama has won quite a few states, not sure which ones because I didn't really pay attention.

Tommorrow will bring the results i guess. Should be interesting.

EDIT: For anyone who cares, it seems Clinton is leading Democrats , and McCain REpublican

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Ron Paul is a dumbass.

 

[Pessimism]

Shit, I should have put my post here instead of in the soc thread

New York has been called for Clinton I believe (ugh)

Check this site for updates, not bad it looks like

 

[Pessimism]

Well, the site still says it will be a close call. Hopefully I won't be pissed after reading the news tomorrow morning.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Stupid Californians, voting for Clinton. I voted for Obama today.

 

[Cythraul]

I voted for the negro.

 

[The Ozzman]

Obama is leading Hillary in delegates with 908 to her 884. That's always a good sign.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Our Primary isn't until April, I think. If it still matters at that point, I believe I will be voting for the colored fella.
