reason editor Matt Welch discusses the controversy surrounding Ron Paul on CNN’s Situation Room. Paul is questioned by Wolf Blitzer on the content of his newsletters.
The Liberals hate … The Liberals hate him the most because he doesn’t see people in collective groups, at least on a governmental level.
Funny how Liberman can agree with the Democratic Party 99% of the time, but disagree on the wars overseas, and they hate him for it. But then a guy like Ron Paul agrees with them on the war, but instead of liking him for it, they hate him.
You better not disagree with the Democratic Socialist Party of America (and by that I mean the Jackass or Donkey party) on any issue.
First of all people … First of all people in most states need a law degree to be hired as a lawyer period, so that’s not an issue of race. That’s more uninformed than what Kaku was saying.
Second, affirmative action still perpetuates racism because it shifts the focus toward hiring people based on their race or ethnicity. That shouldn’t even enter into it; people should be hired only on their merits and character.
Who would publish a … Who would publish a newsletter and have no idea what’s being written or who’s writing it. Ron Paul is either a racist, or he’s monumentally disengaged and uninformed about what’s going on in his own house. He never printed a retraction of these comments as far as I know. I think this video is a chink in Ron Paul’s honesty facade.
Statistically yeah … Statistically yeah they are disproportionally convicted for drug crimes and thats the problem with racism in our own criminal justice system.
I am a Obama … I am a Obama supporter. I’m AA male and I think that R. Paul is brilliant. I support him also, think that he’s a leader, and should be in the top teir of our Government. If Obama wins perhaps he will make him Treasury Sec.. and a top advisor.. I think again he’s vital to America’s recovery.
If Ron Paul were … If Ron Paul were racist I dont think it would matter anymore than it matters if our president thinks we were all created by a magic skydaddy. lol
Actually, a … Actually, a business does not have to hire someone that is not qualified no matter what color or ethnicity they are. Wow…I have actually learned things at school. But seriously, the new majority are young white men.
You can call me … You can call me anything. is just an insult/word like monkey,coon etc. What are they supposed to do make me angry? I couldn’t care less. You don’t have that power buddy.
unqualifed people … unqualifed people don’t get hired. show facts.
are you meaning to say, that a black person without a law degree was in competition for a spot at a law firm at the same time a white man was. the black man would get the job? no. affirmative action doesn’t work that way, its a system that controls the hiring process to make the playing field more level, for african americans, women, hispanics, etc.
Please don’t make uninformed comments. That’s dangerous and irresponsible.
Actually, a … Actually, a business is not required to hire someone that is a minority if they are unqualified. Wow…I am actually learning things in college. But seriously, young white men are the new minority in this world.
affirmative action. … affirmative action. if a qualified white man applies for a job at the same time as an unqualified black man, the black man is more likely to get the job because he is a minority.
Oh I totally agree … Oh I totally agree with you. It is quite counter intuitive. I’ve always wondedered why a black person can call another that but it is an insult when a whiter person says it. And who cares if it is pronounced differently? Like with a ***ah instead of an ***er…. Irony? I think so. Oh well, who I am to judge the logic of black culture?
Ron Paul sure is an …
Ron Paul sure is an ugly man

I’m with you on that, I’m of mixed race heritage, and I’m against affirmative action.

He was talking …
He was talking statistically. And he already blamed the problem on the justice system. What more do you want?
Enough with this …
Enough with this race ! People are people and it’s not about skin color. Ron Paul is a class act.
