Ron Paul 1993 appeal letter warns of ‘race war,’ assails ‘Israeli lobby’
December 23, 2011
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- A 1993 subscription letter appearing above Ron Paul's signature said the "Israeli lobby plays Congress like a cheap harmonica," warned of a "race war" and said there was a gay-led cover up of AIDS.

The letter appealed for subscriptions to Paul's newsletter at the time, which included similar incendiary language.

Paul (R-Texas), a member of the U.S. House of Representatives now leading in some polls of likely Iowa caucus-goers, has repeatedly disavowed the language in his old newsletters, which took aim at blacks, gays and Israel. He has said that he not write his newsletters and that he did not always read them.

The subscriptions solicitation letter, obtained by Reuters on Thursday from Jamie Kirchick, an investigative journalist who in 2008 reported on the newsletters' inflammatory content, ties the provocative language more closely to Paul than did the newsletter.

It is written in the first person, it appears above his signature, and in making some of the accusations, the appeal references what it purports to be Paul's personal experiences.

The letter suggests, for instance, that new $100 bills distributed by the Treasury and ostensibly aimed at tracking drug money were instead aimed at keeping track of all citizens.

"I held the ugly new bills in my hands," the letter says. "I can tell you -- they made my skin crawl!"

The letter also says that "my training as a physician" -- Paul is an obstetrician -- "helps me see through" what he calls the "federal-homosexual cover-up on AIDS."

The letter warns of a "coming race war in our big cities" and says Paul "laid bare" what it calls "the Israeli lobby, which plays Congress like a cheap harmonica."

A spokesman for Paul told Talking Points Memo that the candidate disavows the letter and did not write it.

Paul served in Congress from 1975 until 1988, when he ran for president on the Libertarian ticket.

He returned to his practice in 1989, but made money off the "Ron Paul Investment Letter," which offered financial advice as well as political analysis; the 1993 letter pitches a subscription at what it says is the discounted rate of $99 a year.

Paul returned to Congress in 1997 as a Republican and previously ran for the party's presidential nomination in 2008.

^ god help me.....Fuzzy is right.


Merry Christmas Fuzzy, hope the family is well and ya get a nice smoke in.

I hate when that happens. Ya get all busy, have someone else write your newsletters, you forget to read the newsletters and BAM! This stuff shows up.

Funny the best the establishment ball washers can come up with on Dr. Paul is this and he didn't write it.

Pathetic.

Guess the fear is a good sign.

He says he didn't write them. Big difference. Back in 96 he was talking about the articles and admitted to writing them and defended the statements.

I goof on him, Jaime, but I may do the same as you IF I vote.

Btw, there are more voter security measures in middle eastern shiiteholes than there are here in Maryland where the don't even check your driver's license. My wife could have also voted for her sister who's been away in Europe for over a decade but is still on the rolls.

BD1 he's obviously a racist. He did alot of free medical care for poor blacks and SPLC has defended him as a nonracist.

The funny thing about these strange times is that as a white man you cannot even point out any differences (good or bad) between races without being labeled racist.

It was commonplace a generation ago to read articles in Sports Illustrated (among other mainstream periodicals) discussing differences in musculature, body shapes, etc. between races.

The fact that we are willing to tear down a candidate over something like this speaks droves about our fake society and partly explains our downward spiral.

^ exactly dad.


Too much sand in the vajayjay syndrome.

Lissen kid, er, I mean ZRX, the problem I have with Droopy, er Paul, is that aside from the Twin Towers theory which he shared with the Sheens of the world, his diplomatic similarity to Neville Chamberlain doesn't escape me. Despite that, I may still write his name in. I find the Mitt- Newt blends hard to digest.

Oh I don't claim he's perfect. But his track record is long and consistent, and he's certainly closer to what I want in a candidate than anyone I've ever voted for before.

Freedom is scary

Who?

WOW What hypocrisy. No wonder we get the dregs we deserve.

All this hubbub over a 20 year old statement on a Paul newsletter about the swiftness of black men????

Personally, after living under a ineffectual President who attended a racist, white- hating church for decades, I will gladly vote for a capable (and plainspoken) one who sported matching lawn black jockeys or even had a token negro massage his toes and carry him on his shoulders to the neighborhood Piggly Wiggly.

Why bother? It's lost its meaning. Besides, it's more of a reflection of their limited intellect anyway, Jack.

It's not just one comment.

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.

Really?

2:Upcoming race war in the cities?
3:So get rid of all anti-discrimination laws. A position, but it assumes racism is dead and the free market will equal everything out.
4:That attitude is quickly going away, which is why it's considered a stupid statement.
5:Jewish conspiracy?
7:Paranoid end of the worlder.
8:Same as 7.
9: MLK a pedophile with both boys and girls? This is the only place I've heard of that and it's just vile to say these things with no proof to try and discredit an icon who made the world better. Certainly sounds racist.

The thing is, if you look at the stuff that was written, and you listen to RP actually speak and look at other stuff that was without a doubt written by him...it just doesn't add up. The dude just doesn't talk like that. He doesn't speak violently or angrily like that. Lew Rockwell, however, does. And Rockwell was in cahoots with Murray Rothbard, who actually praised "The Bell Curve". Remember that book?

Paul is caught in a bad spot. He doesn't want to out somebody who has been in his corner for 20+ years. But I think he will have to. Unless Rockwell (or somebody else) comes forward.

It's hard to get in a uproar about 20 year old statements. People gladly and freely supported Obama when it was obvious he was a racist and attended a white-hating church for decades. Plus, he stacked the ballort boxes and hung with the wrong crowd. Plus, he had no real political background to run for POTUS other than a short haul in the Senate where he failed to vote on anything of substance. Yet, the sheeple of the U.S. hopped on board the "hope and change" wagon and got taken for a ride they all regret at this point.

Frankly, there is no candidate without fault - they don't exist. There is no candidate who said something 20 years ago that they regret and have since changed their mind. No one is perfect. No one is near perfect. I said things 20 years ago that I truly regret. I've changed my opinion on many things over the years. I've switched party affiliations more than once. With age comes growth and wisdom. There isn't a single candidate running that isn't as dirty or filthy as the next on some level. So, you gotta pick the person whom you think you can support.

All I know is our current POTUS isn't working out as promised. In fact, I can't believe he's let things go so far south as he has in his term. And, we don't have any candidates that are clean and truly worth voting for. As such, my money is still in Paul's corner despite what we know about him. I can't back any other candidate at this point because they are all wayyyyy too flawed....

Very well said, Chief. The problem is some of us want the perfect candidate & analyze every microcosm of their fiber. The result will, of course be disappointing. Unbeknownst to us, many ideal candidates will never run just because of that. Others will vote out of societal guilt or perhaps merely on skin color as if to say "Take that! for years of oppression- I want what's mine now!". I'm leaning towards writing in Ron Paul but only in appreciation for his kinky cameo in Bruno.

We don't want religious standards & yet we want a peaceful society. Give us our holiday ham bonuses & to hell with tomorrow as we drink and enjoy the circus. We want candidates who are are better than us, only so that we can tear them down and make them like us.


Some of you will be crushed & weepy when your candidate loses in 2012. Hang in there & whatever you do, don't listen to Wildfire:

I agree withe the above portion of your statement. However, I would think you must agree that there are some actions, positions and statements- which although can be forgiven, should not be forgotten .

Very true, Robert.
These times call for men of action however & I'm willing to overlook warts if the candidate can get the job done (reduce debt, unemployment, remove business red tape, etc.). Besides, that's why we have 3 (inept) branches of Government to counterbalance each other. Racist motives don't stand a chance. Otherwise, it's more of what we've had for decades and our time is running short. We don't need more show ponies that say all the right things & look just right.


...and a very happy and successful new year to you and yours, Herf!

Interesting clip and very true of how many view Paul. I know he isn't the complete answer and he has some issues that I disapprove of. But, he's more in line with what I believe needs to happen with this country and I don't think any of the other candidates can deliver. Sad day for America....

Call me crazy... but I suspect that a third party candidate (Trump, Paul...) will emerge & seal a defeat for the Republicans.

The more I think about it, the more I regret not voting for that little pompous Perot who was right about NAFTA all along.
I think it was the dictatorial stories I'd heard about him from employees... and then the sheet-eating grin as he raised Jesse Jackson's hand during a photo op.

It seems to be the eternal curse of all the past great third party candidates. They have this raft of out-of-the-box ideas that gets everyone cheering. We're going to see real change. Break the two-party gridlock. And just when you think we have finally arrived at the great third party alternative ...

... the media pops out footage of him making a speech that he routinely receives communication from the mother ship via the crabgrass in his back yard.

And he's making the speech in black face and ass-less chaps ...

...at a third grader picnic ...

... where he wasn't even invited to speak.

You know ... that old chestnut.
