[lbo-talk] the bigoted past of Ron Paul

[B.]

I'm going to forward this Ron Paul piece to Boing
Boing -- maybe they'll post it. They shoudl tell
people more than just what his fave comic book
character is.

-B.

Doug Henwood quote TNR:

"What [Paul's newsletters] they reveal are decades
worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the
right-wing militia movement, and  deeply held bigotry
against blacks, Jews, and gays. In short, they 
suggest that Ron Paul is not the plain-speaking
antiwar activist his supporters believe they are
backing--but rather a member in good  standing of some
of the oldest and ugliest traditions in American  politics."
