Former opponents discuss Ron Paul’s racist newsletters
Two former opponents of Rep. , one of whom once worked for a Texas congressman, have come brazen to plead extremist comments in newsletters published by a Republican presidential candidate.
Even yet a newsletters were never a secret, a former Democratic consultant The Atlantic’s Molly Ball that skeleton to spin them into an emanate during Paul’s 1996 debate for Congress never picked adult steam since electorate seemed to determine with them.
“At a time we was Lefty Morris’ debate manager, who was a Democrat using opposite Ron Paul in a ubiquitous election,†a unnamed consultant told Ball in an email. “Our debate expelled a ‘Ron Paul Political Report’ to reporters and after concentration grouped some of his papers and affiliations during a grill in La Grange, Texas.â€
“At a time, a ‘Ron Paul Political Report’ was listed in an online Neo-Nazi Directory that also enclosed publications by a Ku Klux Klan and a Aryan Brothers (or something like that),†he continued.
Much to his surprise, a consultant pronounced that some participants in a concentration organisation began fortifying a Klan when told that a newsletters were listed alongside white supremacist publications. “We had a exile concentration organisation on a hands,†he recalled. “About 10 of a 12 participants were chirping their unrestrained for a KKK.â€
“It was 1996, though Texas was, good … still Texas,†he said.
Ball records that a initial thing one finds when Googling “Lefty Morris†is a story of Eric Dondero, a Paul-staffer incited 2008 primary opponent, who claims to have been asked by a debate to confront Morris and urge Paul from accusations of anti-Semitism. Dondero is half Jewish, and says he was asked by Paul staffers to wear “a Jewish yarlmuke, and other Jewish adornments†when he confronted Morris.
Dondero recently  including his thoughts on Ron Paul and a extremist newsletters. He wrote that while many of a Paul’s views are out-of-date or eccentric, Paul is conjunction a extremist nor an anti-Semite.
“I worked for a male for 12 years, flattering consistently,†Dondero writes. “I never listened a extremist word voiced towards Blacks or Jews come out of his mouth. Not once. And understand, we was his tighten personal assistant.â€
However, Dondero also says that Paul “is distant from being a hippest man around†and is “completely clueless when it comes to Hispanic and Black culture, quite Mexican-American culture.â€
Dondero, who Paul has described as “a discontented former worker who was fired,†also wrote that Paul is “absolutely†not an anti-Semite, though “most positively Anti-Israel, and Anti-Israeli in general.â€
“He wishes a Israeli state did not exist during all,†Dondero says. “He voiced this to me countless times in a private conversations. His perspective is that Israel is some-more difficulty than it is worth, privately to a America taxpayer. He sides with a Palestinians, and supports their calls for a abolishment of a Jewish state, and a lapse of Israel, all of it, to a Arabs.â€
At a same time, Dondero says Paul has no problem with American Jews, and even worked to cater a really tiny Jewish village in his possess district.
Despite a conflict over a newsletters, Paul continues to check good in early primary states, and is now heading a rest of a Republican margin in Iowa to a RealClearPolitics polling average.
