Its totally appropriate to push Ron Paul on the racist newsletter issue. And if he doesn't like scrutiny, perhaps the presidency - or public service in general - isn't for him. Whether he wrote those newsletters or not, its reflective of his outreach efforts in an important period of his political career. and the letters aren't the only proof he pandered to racists as a younger man.
and you know what? i think its healthy for the Ron Paul cult to hear about his flaws - and even healthier for society at large to see how defensively the Ron Paul cult reacts to negative press. I like Ron Paul on foreign policy, I don't agree with him on domestic policy, but his rabid followers make me take his whole message less seriously.
however, people make mistakes and people change. believe me, i can appreciate that. its fair to explore the issue, but more productive to look at his consistency with his current platform - and whether that platform makes sense for America.
and i think its amazing that the mainstream media justifies resurrecting this old story because Paul has taken a lead while they buried Newt's past during his recent rise - and even gave credence to supportive urban legends. And Mittens has been given the easiest media pass since Obama. Mittens is the media anointed candidate that no Republican outside the power structure actually seems to like.
Maybe the bias has something to do with the media companies being subsidiaries of the war pig welfare queens that would lose big if we ever focused on building our nation instead of destroying others.
