Ron Paul isn't a likely nominee for President - at least not in the Republican party. And since the Libertarian and/or Independent parties won't win this election either, any mud on him becomes a low priorty - as far as being newsworthy goes. The most newsworthy thing about him seems to be that he is as popular as he is (among young voters especially). Those unique, third pary-esque characters usually get similar blind-eye treatment. Think Perot. And I swear to God I know what I'm talking about!
So he ain't really a big factor, and that, I think, is the biggest reason why most news organizations wouldn't investigate this part of his past. Because who cares?
All of those are excellent points. I didn't give a shit either, just filed that information away, until people I knew started stumping for him...and that made me angry. It makes me angry when people I care about are misled about a guy like that.
And I'd say, if he did think that way and change his ways, why not tell people that? Why play it off like he didn't know what was happening? I'd admire someone who admitted he was wrong much more than one who admitted he was lazy.

Exactly!!!!! Anyone who endorses info of that nature needs to speak out against themself at some point, in some way. If you can't come out now and take a stance on how you've changed, then you probably haven't changed for shit. Just wear a nice pretty face for the reporters and hope people don't notice. Such bullshit.

As far as people like David Duke liking him?
Meh. Doesn't effect me.

If he didn hold any of them, how uch does it matter? (he said he think MLK is a hero - doesn't that sort of close the book?)
Do you think he did hold this views at one point, and has now changed?
Do you think he is insane?
