Granted it’s a free press. And if that’s where it belongs he’d deserve it. But somehow I don’t think discrediting another major libertarian voice with rumors is going to improve the situation.

Until somebody finds a smoking gun I’m going to judge both of them by their tracable and undenied public record.

I strongly object to the idea that is implied in your response - that the libertarian movement should avoid “discrediting” itself. This is the major reason I will not or ever join the LP, and why I am inherently distrustful of most libertarian movements - they suffer from the same maladies as every political organization - powerhunger, greed, deception, propaganda and manipulation. Reason is one of the few independent libertarian organizations out there, and they are generally loyal to the truth before agenda.

More important: is the status quo and fact that black people are overrepresented in prison compared to their percentage in the whole of the country racist? To this writer, it is clear that rather those that do nothing about this fact - which causes a lot of family breakdown in the black community - e.g. to keep the “war on drugs” by improsoning blakcs for non-violence drug smuggling/offences (it should be a medical and psychiological problem, not government legal one), that contributes to an “institutional racism”, and in this conext Dr. Ron Paul sets the example on how to deal with this problem, by freeing many of these prisoners. It would be up to the community, churches, hospitals, academic institutions etc. to set the example and give information as to the very negative consequences of drug usuage, and not the central government. Also: people often want to try that is prohibited, once it is not outlawed anymore, the incentive and “kick” of trying to break the law and also interest in drugs, would subside (over time).

Zooville etc.

I agree with you that many of the allegations of “racism” are hardly so, unless disagreeing with Lincoln or questioning the Civil Rights movement is inherently racist.

As Paul himself has confirmed, “many” and “several” people wrote for the newsletter, including but not limited to Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell. Neither were the publisher; for the period in question (1988-1992), according to Mr. Dondero, that was Jean McIver.

Reason’s scramble to make Mr. Rockwell “the ghostwriter,” and by extension “the racist,” looks less like investigative reporting, and more like an attempt to expiate the sin of racism by sacrificing a scapegoat.

Search on Google: 9/11 families file RICO lawsuits aganist Bush since 2003 in court. Four waves of them. Their lawyer is Stanley Hilton.

Now that is news. Why don’t you investigate that and write about it?

How about we now go after all the other bastards trying to take the rains of this country - before we end up with someone in power far worse..than someone who may or may not be involved in something that someone may or may not said about something someone may or may not wrote during a time frame that may or may not have had an audience that may or may not be nut jobs… WTF ARE WE DOING FOLKS..

See you in the breadline.

If there was no demand for prostitution there wouldn’t be any prostitutes, yet it has been around forever.

Maybe men should examine themselves as to why such a thing exists in the first place.

Christ Almighty, stating a simple fact (’Lew wrote the newsletters) is not “mud-sling.” He should just own up to it.
