Ron Paul quit Congress in the late 80’s because he thought Republicans were far too liberal to become the presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party. What was there for Libertarains not to like in a over the top conservative, rabid pro-Life Libertarian (strange as that may seem to those not schooled in LP irrationality) and all around Right-wing bigot?
Ron Paul has said many really crazyass things over his career, but topping the list was his accusation that President Clinton was a “cocaine addict ” which he says “explains a lot about him.” That kind of radio talkshow libel only explains what Ron Paul is not what Bill Clinton is. Here are a few of this Libertarian’s views on race:
“If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be.”
“Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e., support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action.”
“Politically sensible blacks are outnumbered as decent people… I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city [Washington] are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.”
“We don’t think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such.”
“By far the most powerful lobby in Washington of the bad sort is the Israeli government and that the goal of the Zionist movement is to stifle criticism.”
When Paul didn’t get 1% of the vote for President, he worked himself back into the GOP in his old district down here two stupids lower than we are in Dumbass.
