In 2001, Paul took "moral responsibility" for the comments printed in his newsletter under his name, telling Texas Monthly magazine that the comments were written by a ghostwriter and did not represent his views. He said newsletter remarks referring to U.S. Representative Barbara Jordan (calling her a "fraud" and a "half-educated victimologist") were "the saddest thing, because Barbara and I served together and actually she was a delightful lady."[58] The magazine defended Paul's decision to protect the writer's confidence in 1996, concluding, "In four terms as a U.S. congressman and one presidential race, Paul had never uttered anything remotely like this."[33] In 2007, with the quotes resurfacing, the New York Times Magazine concurred that Paul denied the allegations "quite believably, since the style diverges widely from his own."[

Teddy Roosevelt:

--- Quote ---Morris ran numerous attacks, including publicizing issues of the Ron Paul Survival Report (published by Paul since 1985) that included derogatory comments concerning race and other politicians.[52][53] Alluding to a 1992 study finding that "of black men in Washington ... about 85 percent are arrested at some point in their lives",[54][55] the newsletter proposed assuming that "95% of the black males in Washington DC are semi-criminal or entirely criminal", and stated that "the criminals who terrorize our cities ... largely are" young black males and "black men commit [crimes] all out of proportion to their numbers".[56][57]
--- End quote ---
And he was the only member of congress who voted against giving Rosa Parks the Congressional Gold Medal. :nawty:

He didn't want to spend taxpayers money to do that.  He suggested that if congress wants to do that, that they all chip in and do it with their own money.  Rosa Parks is one of Paul's heros as he's a strong proponent to nonviolent demonstration.

Teddy Roosevelt:
I know, but if you want to oppose something like this you might as well not vote at all. How is this going to look on his record if he makes it to the general election?
