Ron Pauls mörka sida

Under de senaste månaderna har jag vid flera tillfällen fått frågan varför jag inte sympatiserar med Ron Paul. Ron Paul beskrivs ofta som det stora hoppet för alla liberala krafter och en ledande frihetskämpe, men jag anser att kongressledamot Paul och hans politik inte håller för en noggrannare granskning. Ron Paul har vid flera tillfällen gjort uttalanden som är rasistiska, homofoba och antisemitiska samt präglas av diverse konspirationsteorier. Ni hittar några av Ron Pauls utspel på The New Republic och Pajamas Media.

Ett urval:
“[O]ur country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists—and they can be identified by the color of their skin.”

“My friend waved to the tiny [African-American] child, who scowled, stuck out her tongue, and said (somewhat tautologically): “I hate you, white honkey.” And the parents were indulgent. Is any white child taught to hate in this way?” “My friend waved to the tiny [African-American] child, who scowled, stuck out her tongue, and said (somewhat tautologically): “I hate you, white honkey.” And the parents were indulgent.

“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."

"gays in San Francisco do not obey the dictates of good sense," adding: "[T]hese men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners." Also, "they enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick."
