OK, let's say he isn't a racist. Then why did he allow someone to publish a newsletter using his name without him even knowing what was in it? This smacks of incompetence at least. I guarantee if anyone asked to publish something under my name purporting to come from me, I would definitely read it before it went out. I find it very hard to believe that this newsletter was published under his name without him knowing what was in it. At any rate, he should have known what was being said in these newsletters being distributed for a period of several years. I could see if it was a one-off occurrence where an editor left a racist comment in one issue by mistake, but this was deliberately going on for years. If Ron Paul wins the presidency, is he going to have a press secretary sending out statements and press releases without personally directing him to or even checking them first?
