Ron Paul denies decades of racist newsletters published in his name; O.J. still hunting for ‘real killer’

Wow.  Ron Paul  is outed as … a wacky,  racist fringe pamphleteer?  Gee, who ever saw that coming? 

Plus, Paul’s campaign offers what must be the single lamest defense ever:  I really should have paid closer attention to the things people were writing in my name for decades.  But take heart, paulbots.  This could mean real momentum for Lydon RaRouche this year.

This also raises a serious question for the  Republicans.  Some have suggested that Paul  should be coddled to keep him from forming a third-party insurgent campaign (he’d do it anyway) but if Paul’s views really are  as bigoted as this story reports, the Republicans need to put expediency aside and  do what Democrats never did to Robert Byrd and George Wallace:  expel him.   If they don’t, they certainly have no business  bringing up Byrd’s KKK past ever  again.
