NAACP President says Ron Paul is NOT a racist?

NAACP president, Nelson Linder, has come out and said he does not believe Ron Paul to be a racist. Linder has known Paul for 20 years and stated that he believes him to be a fair man who has consistently defended the civil liberties of the black community. Linder believes the claims of racism have been levied because of Paul's libertarian platform, and that most people are just confused about what Paul's political values really are.

    Don't tell that douche bag who has Daffy Duck as his avatar. As well as a lot of left wing douche bags on here.

    He seems to believe the contrary, no matter how many prominent civil rights leaders back Ron Paul on this issue.

    @ Hello; A lot of neocons think Ron Paul is a racist too. They are acting foolish if you ask me.

    I wonder what Nelson Linder would think if he read the newsletters that Ron himself approved.

    Or that rant Ron gave on the floor of the House of Representatives regarding what he though of the Martin Luther King birthday holiday? Or that he was the only one to vote against it?

    Linder must be some relation to Clarance Thomas. Traitors to their own families and communities.

    Ron Paul is a bigot. And Linder is a sell out! Deal with it.

    Okay.

    Now if Ron Paul can just get his foreign policy answers down better, then I can lend my support to his campaign.

    Yesterday I watched an interview with him, and he was asked if he were President right now, what would he do about Syria, Egypt and the Iran/Israel situation.

    He never answered. All he kept saying was how he wouldn't have us out in the world getting into these situations. But it is too late for that we are already in it. He can campaign on not doing that anymore, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the reality of what we are all involved in.

    It's odd how you get one candidate who is truly against bloated, intrusive government, and people in power do everything they can to paint him as crazy and a bigot.
