I said previously that the issue raised by the newsletters isn't racism but general craziness and/or incompetence. Either he published/wrote newsletters with various crazy ideas (some racist) for decades, or he allowed a newsletter with said ideas be published under his name and bearing his signature for decades.
Invoking the plight of soon to be unemployed federal bureaucrats is probably not the best way to turn people away from Dr. Paul. Firing functionaries will garner more cheers than jeers, I imagine.
Yeah, cheers! Fire people, take away their children's healthcare. FREEDOM! HELPING THE ECONOMY!
At any rate, you haven't justified calling the man an "unsavory lunatic," not by a long shot. So why name call in the first place if you could just briefly recap your criticisms or post link to your previous postings?
I've justified both. His association with various racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic elements gives me "unsavory," and all the restructure-the-government/Goldbug/I'd-be-the-super-President stuff gives me "lunatic." No problem.
Oh, and you omitted the racist attack ad against Huntsman that Paul said he had no knowledge of (
just like the newsletters, hmm...).
My charge against you did have the desired effect, in that you managed to refrain from calling me names in your reply this time.
Not true, I called you a liar and implied you were pathetic.
As for its veracity, you know it is true, unless perhaps you have been posting in your sleep.
Again, this is a lie. I have, can, and will justify everything I've ever said about anyone. Or perhaps you can find an example here and there where I was unfair. But your repeated claim that I am habitually just calling people names without support or justification is a lie.
But if you'd like to confine our future discourse strictly to issues, you'll hear no more from me about it.
You can try all you want. I recommend you avoid personal attacks, for your own benefit.
