I don't necessarily disagree. However, given how news works in our world, the headlines will read something like "Ron Paul publishes racist remarks" or something similar. For example, the is an editorial (I believe New York times) and that is basically what the headline says. So, the readers or news-hungry, will be fed by that line, rather than an explanation and apology that Ron Paul has given.
Additionally, for what it's worth, I think Ron Paul should have kept better track of what was going out in his name. And I find that to be a big issue with him (at least for me).
What I want at this point, is someone who thinks like Ron Paul, but is younger and has more charisma (and no racist newsletters published under his name).

He didn't write it, but he did endorse it and he greatly profited from it. Doesn't really matter if he is actually a racist or only provided endorsement and an outlet, normalising and giving voice to other racists and their rants, subsequently profiting from them.
I'm sorry but once Paul comes under the spotlight he will sink like a stone.

where is the evidence he "Greatly profited from it"?
Ron Paul will win, and America will unite behind him. If you really want to side with the main stream media and the establishment, go right ahead.

Why do you even say nonsensical things like this? Obama has some "left" positions, absolutely. FAR left? Not particularly. And if you believe that at least half of the serious Republican candidates this coming election AREN'T at least as far right as Obama is to the left, then I don't believe you're looking at the situation very objectively.

Ok he may not have been the most liberal, but he was hardly middle of the road with his voting record meaning the Republicans would have to nominate someone quite conservative to be as far right as he is left:

haven't they already been discussed to death?
but keep thinking you're right and ignoring all evidence to the contrary. next time we decide to ignore you, you can pretend once more that you have the REAL truth if it makes you happy.
