Ron Paul Watch: AIDS Patients and Sexual Harassment – Oh My!
Texas Congressman Ron Paul
More from an early book written by Ron Paul or does Paul disavow writing this too?
Texas Rep. Ron Paul has distanced himself from a series of controversial newsletters from the 1980s and 1990s that bore his name and included inflammatory and racially charged language.
As the newsletters burst into view, first during his 2008 presidential bid and again in recent weeks after he climbed to the front of the Republican race in Iowa, Paul has blamed the writings on ghostwriters. He said he was not aware of the “bad stuff,” as he described it.
But one of Paul’s own books, published solely under his name, contains several passages that could be problematic as he attempts to push his libertarian message into the political mainstream.
In his 1987 manifesto “Freedom Under Siege: The U.S. Constitution after 200-Plus Years,” Paul wrote that AIDS patients were victims of their own lifestyle, questioned the rights of minorities and argued that people who are sexually harassed at work should quit their jobs.
Read the rest, but it is the same ol’ extremism and cranky weirdness from Ron Paul.

Day By Day December 30, 2011 – Vercotti Virginia
Day By Day by Chris MuirSomething is rotten in the State of Virginia. I can see why gathering some signatures in lieu of paying a filing fee is reasonableBut, requiring 10,000 signatures to get on a ballot is over the top.
My bet is that Rick Perry will be successful in his federal court lawsuit and this Virginia requirement will be annulled.
