The Dallas Morning News -- May 22, 1996.
Dr. Paul denied suggestions that he was a racist and said he was not evoking stereotypes when he wrote the columns. He said they should be read and quoted in their entirety to avoid misrepresentation. Dr. Paul also took exception to the comments of Mr. Bledsoe, saying that the voters in the 14th District and the people who know him best would be the final judges of his character.
"If someone challenges your character and takes the interpretation of the NAACP as proof of a man's character, what kind of a world do you live in?" Dr. Paul asked.
In the interview, he did not deny he made the statement about the swiftness of black men.
"If you try to catch someone that has stolen a purse from you, there is no chance to catch them," Dr. Paul said.
The Ron Paul Surge, or whatever you want to call it, is over. It never really began and was a half-hearted attempt at abandoning the latest not-Mitt, Newt Gingrich, but Paul is so odd and so un-Republican it never really was able to hold water. Add to the mix the racist and anti-Semitic newsletter put out in his name and he becomes a crazy crank running on a major party platform, which he always was anyway.
Mitt will almost certainly win Iowa.
