January 21, money bomb

[maximillion]

I find it strange that Ron Paul would select a communist homosexual's  birthday to raise funds. Martin Luther King stood against everything Ron Paul says he believes in. If Ron Paul is groveling in order to ward off attacks about those newsletters it will not help him. Blacks are not going to support him him no matter
how much he praises their patron saint. I have contibuted on each of the previous money bomb days, however, this time I will not send anything. I also disagree with Ron Paul referring to MLK as a great man,
which he has been doing for a couple of months. Maybe he knew these newsletters would be surfacing and he was hoping that his praise of the communists hero would somehow make amends. My contribution this time has gone to David Duke's money bomb to reprint his "My Awakening" book. There was nothing wrong with any of those newsletters anyway, and I am sure he read every word in them before they were printed.

I agree it is unlikley that Blacks will support him, like the looney left in the UK they can't see the woods for the trees and get hung up on issues like always putting more money into the National health system when most of health problems are down to poor diet or people smoking or drinking too much. There always needs to be a balance between giving people a carrot or the stick instead of pouring tax payers money into bottomless bucket. I think Paul using his logical arguments shows he knos this.

Back to the issue on Blacks, Paul was accused of being racist his response was very interesting in saying that he would advocate all blacks be released from priosn where no violent crime was committed.

I think if this got a lot of coverage in the US media then possibly many blacks might reconsider thier traditional voting patterns but as I have said before there is not an even playing field in the media.

MLK was for civil liberties. Ron Paul is too. It is wrong to state that MLK was homosexual. Are you a bigot, by any chance? As far as MLK having unsound views on economic policy, so what? You could say the same about a majority of Brits or Americans today. That doesn't make them Communists! Stating that "blacks will not support Ron Paul", is also wrong. Try asking if Blacks support Ron Paul on the Daily Paul forum. You'll get a very clear response!
