Yeah but he went on …
Yeah but he went on to say that it was ghostwritten for him and he was embarassed to admit it at the time. I believe him, not because I’m a supporter which I’m not really sure if I am at this point but because he said that the writing style is different than his and if you read it it is a lot different sounding. Not just the racist content but the way it’s articulated.
Why did Chomsky say …
Why did Chomsky say he votes for Republicans sometimes? Why would he do that?
i just think the …
i just think the day we had the internet was the first day of the end of the real world.i’m that disillusioned!!!!
Agreed! A lot of …
Agreed! A lot of youtubers don’t seem to be able to express their views or listen to others views without resorting to name calling. We need MORE DEBATE and less arguing.
If people can’t …
If people can’t listen or express logical views on any topic….then there is no hope….you heard it here first.
i agree and thats …
i agree and thats why the People NEED TO WAKE the freak up and vote for the right canidates if there are such people out there , i asay live and let live worry about yourself and let the rest of the worl d worry abotu thier people
TURKSMIKEY, i can …
TURKSMIKEY, i can appericiate that i have hit a soft spot, but this is what i mean, you cant handle the truth and hit back with insults
you see when a …
you see when a nation of people say they didnt vote for some puppet and then sit back and allow thier country to cause crime against others, they are the racist and they are the ones that need to sort something out.
Sorry to inform you …
Sorry to inform you but he is not “my” Obama. I neither voted for nor supported Obama in his campaign. You’re right though when you say Obama is a puppet. All our presidents are. I’m not sure what you think I’m laughing about. I don’t take pleasure in my governments destructive behavior. There isn’t much to laugh about right now as my government is engaged in war in 3 countries and supports the policies of Israel. You are a racist and are filled with hatred. You should do something about that.
fuck ur obama …
ur obama ur states all of them u ugly white trash …using that black monkey as a puppet aient goona save u from juz wait for it ur laughing now we will laugh then so who had the last laugh
I agree. We seem to …
I agree. We seem to have learned nothing from the past.
i dont think i want …
i dont think i want to make a comment……my view on american politics is the same as we had(UK) in the 19th century…….and that is ‘you think you rule the world’……and any of your individual views, however learned in there content are not important. The basic fact is, The USA are carrying on the tradition of the ruination of a world.
I guess Ron Paul …
I guess Ron Paul publicly stating that he is not and disavowing all relationship with the people that wrote that crap doesn’t count in your opinion…
You, my friend, have not proved that he is either. I’m not really sure how one concludes that by standing for individual freedom and liberty and property rights for ALL people makes one a white supremacist. I guess a lobotomy would probably do it.
James Madison: “[ ...
James Madison: "[The government] ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority.” Alexander Hamilton: “The people, sir, are a great beast.” The founding fathers who wrote the constitution were opposed to the people. They wished to curtail democracy and constructed the Constitution to preserve elite interests. Jefferson was a rare exception. This is very basic U.S. history 101.
Thus, if “racism” = …
Thus, if “racism” = “promoting diversity” then Ron Paul is not a racist. But if racism = the disgusting vulgarities found in the Ron Paul newsletters (which Paul defended in that issue of “Houston Chronicle while SIMULTANEOUSLY claiming he was not a racist) then Ron Paul is most certainly a racist. I have already listed the tons of facts connecting him to white supremacy. You have not refuted a single one of them because you obviously cannot.
Uh… you are aware …
Uh… you are aware that that paragraph comes from an essay written in defense of Don Imus and that it’s an almost word for word repetition of his 2002 article in defense of white supremacist Trent Lott? Here Paul is defining “racism” as “promoting diversity.” There is a term for this: Newspeak. Thus, his statement only supports the fact that is a white supremacist. The 05/23/96 edition of the “Houston Chronicle” has Paul denying he is a racist and then DEFENDING his racist newsletter articles!
Good job completely …
Good job completely avoiding or attempting to refute any of those facts. Ron Paul is a white supremacist.
You are clearly an …
You are clearly an uninformed person. These issues have been raised and promptly dismissed. If you actually took time to understand why he voted against the acts you mention you would realize it is not because he is racist but because he believe in personal freedom and liberty for EVERYONE!
This is excellent. …
This is excellent. Please join me in saying No to Essar Steel in Trinidad and Tobago. Refer to my video.
Trinidad and Tobago will be the host country for the Fifth Summit if the Americas April 17-19th 2009.
No, I’m not …
No, I’m not confused at all. The quote from Ron Paul was meant to be posted as a response to Xenu’s assertion that Ron Paul is a white supremacist. I accidentally posted it as a new comment. And I do realize that Chomsky and Paul are quite different from one another. That’s why I consider what they both (and others) have to say. The truth is neither at one extreme nor the other… it’s somewhere in the middle. I don’t agree with everything that they have to say. I have a great respect for both.
Additionally, I …
Additionally, I would disagree with your comments on “collectivism.” Capitalist thinkers quite naturally oppose evaluation of groups because the results are unacceptable to their defense of extreme individualism and the supremacy of “property rights”, mainly due to the fact that sociological study lends credence to class-based models of social stratification and the carcinogenic effect of economic power residing in the hands of a concentrated group.
jharmon is …
jharmon is obviously confused somewhat on this issue. If you read a bit more Chomsky I think you will come to see that his opinions and analysis are sharply divergent from Mr. Paul’s. In particular, Chomsky regards Murray Rothbard, Hayek, Mises, ect as “advocates of extreme tyranny.”
They openly wrote …
They openly wrote about how much they hate people? That’s news to me. Could you please refer me to a source that might have some of these writings?
“Racism is simply …
“Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans as members of groups rather than individuals… By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called “diversity” actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist… we should understand that racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty.
Ron Paul
Check out some of his speeches
The founding father …
The founding father were all nut bags. They were all slave owning, rich, white men who cried for “freedom” (for themselves). I mean the majority of them openly wrote how they hate the people and that the people should not hold the power, but the rich landowners should. It sounds pathetic to me.
And the good things were have (voting rights, civil rights, etc) did not come from some stupid paper, but it came for poor people from below. That paper means nothing.
