"...Rep. Ron Paul, the presumptive frontrunner of the Iowa caucuses, has come under fire again for racist material that appeared in a series of newsletters, written he says by someone else and published under his name nearly two decades ago. Paul has disavowed the letters’ content repeatedly in numerous interviews.(Snip)Meanwhile, Barack Obama’s ties to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright are a non-issue again this election year. Why? Reverend Wright was named among the Simon Wisenthal Center’s top ten anti-Semites of the year this week."

Is Ron Paul a racist? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and just say no. But does he blame America for the world's problems. Absolutely. Will he celebrate our greatness and burnish our legacy as all Americans deserve? Decidedly not.
