Come on now, nobody is buying that line that Ron Paul is alleged to be a racist. He's probably the least racist politician. The newsletters were written by someone else. That picture was just of a fan taking a picture with a politician at an event-- I took a picture with Ron Paul as well, but that doesn't mean he knows me or endorses the ideas on my blog or what I do in my personal life. The Daily Kos hates Ron Paul and the NY Times rarely gives him play. I've found that coverage is marginal at best, never "gloringly positive." CNN is probably the best, I will give them credit for that. In contrast, I think they give Giuliani a free ride on all the firefighters' families that think he contributed to their relatives' deaths. They are starting to question this a bit more, though. I thought this was an interesting blog entry at Redstate: http://www.crosstabs.org/blogs/dukelaw/2007/dec/16/huckabee_crossed_that_line He says that Huckabee is criticizing the war from a "leftist" POV, whereas Ron Paul criticizes it from a right-wing perspective.

The man has gotten a complete pass from the major media. He's bashing Bush, and opposing the War in Iraq, so they overlook his shortcomings. Like the recently uncovered photos of Paul with Nazi Storm Trooper Front leader Don Black. Or Paul's questionable fundraising from his 1988 and 1992 Presidential efforts. Funny, in 1996 when Ron Paul was running as a small-town Conservative Republican for Congress, the Houston and especially Austin media ripped him to shreads. Called him an extremist. Uncovered statements of his that made him out to be an Anti-Semite and Racist. The Austin American-Statesman even created a Cartoon strip on "Ron Paul the paranoid extremist fringe guy for Congress who thinks the government is out to get him." Now that he's a liberal lap dog, mouthing Cindy Sheehan talking points, the Houston Chronicle, Austin American-Statesman, and national media like the NY Times, Daily Kos and CNN just give him a pass. Not only give him a pass, but literally praise him and give him gloringly positive coverage. While they mercilessly bash Giuliani, and Romney for minor missteps.
