ABC News/Yahoo New Hampshire GOP Debate: Ron Paul and Racism

Follow me on:

9:29 pm: When asked about the 20-year-old newsletters published under Ron Paul's name, which had allegedly racist and homophobic themes, the congressman said, "One of my heroes is Martin Luther King, because he practiced the libertarian policy of peaceful resistance. I am the only one up here and in the Democratic Party that understand...blacks are arrested way disproportionally...go on death row way disproportionally...if we truly want to be concerned about racism, we ought to be concerned about those issues."

Join the Ron Paul Music Bomb 2012 and invite all your friends, too! We can get the Ron Paul liberty anthem to the top of the charts while raising a lot of money for his campaign at the same time. Let’s let freedom sing!
