This addition from Crooks and Liars

Someone in John McCain’s campaign needs to tell him that he’s not funny and that making crude jokes about killing innocent people is not presidential and inappropriate.  

Most of you have heard of McCain’s Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran gaffe, and now the GOP presidential hopeful has made another crude joke about killing Iranians and again, its wholly inappropriate. The title of this AP story is “Wife Pokes McCain In The Back”

PITTSBURGH — Cindy McCain’s jab to her husband’s back came a second too late Tuesday to keep him from making a wisecrack about the health impact of Iran’s main import from the United States: cigarettes.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain was asked about an Associated Press report that $158 million in cigarettes have been shipped to Iran during George W. Bush’s presidency despite restrictions on U.S. exports to that country.

“Maybe that’s a way of killing them,” McCain told reporters, smiling as he waited for a cheesesteak sandwich at the Primanti Brothers restaurant. His wife, sitting next to him at the counter, poked his back without looking up. Read on…

How about, “McCain Makes Another Crude Joke About Killing Iranians?” Just kill ‘em all, right, Senator? You can tell this guy can’t wait to have his finger on the buttons, can’t you?  Had Barack Obama made this comment the corporate media would run with it, wall to wall for weeks.

Because her father is Janet Reno.”

McCain: I appreciate his support. As you know, the lieutenant governor is our chairman.

Q: Why snub the governor?

McCain: I didn’t mean to snub him. I’ve known the lieutenant governor for 15 years and we’ve been good friends….I didn’t intend to snub him. There are other states where the governor is not the chairman.

Q: Maybe it’s the governor’s approval rating and you are running from him like you are from the president?

McCain: (Chuckling) And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago . . .

From Hot Air, if dude is elected he will fuck us on immigration I guarantee it!

This election is like being stuck between two gun barrels and having to decide which one you want to be shot with, the big gun that will explode your head like a cantaloupe quick death or the smaller less frightening looking gun the one that may not kill you right away exposing you to long term suffering.
Gruesome shit huh? Well that is the 2008 election in a nutshell!

Via Byron York. We know he’s planning to revisit the issue — the day after he’s inaugurated, no less — but the lack of remorse is news to me. What happened to that “lesson” he supposedly learned about securing the border first?

College betting is obviously an interstate commerce issue
(So Nevada should not have the right to have sports betting?)

The issue has been dead for years

(Despite your efforts, and I thought you were running on effectiveness, so how can it be dead?)

I haven’t won on every issue. I didn’t win on immigration reform, but I’ll go back at it. And I’m glad I did it.

Meghan “Blogette” McCain, the princess daughter of John McCain and his second trophy wife Cindy, has sewn up a children’s book deal. It sounds frightening, according to what she says in a publisher’s statement:

“I am truly excited about the opportunity to write a children’s book about my father, who is not only a fantastic dad, but also a great American. This book will offer children the unique opportunity to see the character building events that happened over his lifetime, experiences that led up to his current bid to become the future President of the United States.”

 Hey children, this is called P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A. It means “she is finding a pleasing way to sell you terrible lies.” Also, children? She does not have a job, because she is spoiled! She is not your role model. [AP]

I wonder if she will put in her book the story of how her dad was macking on this young rich chick he would eventually have an affair with and ultimately dumped his broken down old wife and married her and lived happily ever after.
Sounds like a Fractured Fairy Tale to me!

I started to go on a long tirade about what McCain said in this interview and to explain again why I don’t want this man to be president AGAIN but I’m like fuck it. I’m just a middle aged Negro anonymous blogger with a few opinions that I share on occasion. Nobody care what a broke ass Middle American angry Negro has to say about a great American POW survivor war hero…faux Republican.

Although I know my request for insight, inspiration and wisdom will be pretty much ignored I will still humbly ask those of you who are more right leaning or those of you who still identify yourselves as Republican why should I support this idiot old bastard?

I’m thinking hell at least an Obama presidency will entertain me with dude slapping his wife in the ass before they board Air Force one or the shot of him with a 40 in one hand slapping down a double six screaming “biatch” while playing dominoes as he entertains his homies in the Oval Office.

Anywho just posting for those of you who care. *Sigh*

(CNSNews.com) - At a time when congressional Republicans are pressing for expanded domestic oil drilling to boost supply, Republican Sen. John McCain says the goal of his energy policy is to move Americans away from oil. He also said oil companies “absolutely” should be giving something back to the consumer.

Americans “have to” move away from oil, McCain said Wednesday, not only because of soaring gasoline prices, “but also because of greenhouse gas emissions.”

His energy plan says nothing about oil drilling. Instead, McCain is pushing for alternative forms of energy — especially an expansion of nuclear power.

“We have to embark on a national mission to become energy independent — and nuclear power has to play a big role in that,” he told NBC’s “Today” show on Wednesday.

Asked if there’s anything he or Sen. Obama could do to ease soaring gasoline prices, McCain said “We could give them (American consumers) a bit of a break for this summer.”

McCain says that suspending the federal gasoline tax (18.4 cents a gallon) between Memorial Day and Labor Day might help a little bit. He also says he would temporarily halt new oil infusions into the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

But between now and November, McCain said he doubts gasoline prices will go much lower than they are now — and they “could go higher.” The situation won’t get much better than it is now, given that a finite supply of oil is controlled by a cartel.

Oil company profits

At a time of record oil prices and record profits — when oil companies are getting various tax breaks and financial incentives from the federal government — shouldn’t those companies “be able to give something back to the consumer?” NBC’s Matt Lauer asked McCain. “Absolutely,” McCain replied.

“And they should be investing in alternative energy and they should be giving back to the consumer and they should be embarking on research and development that will pay off in reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” McCain said.

“The point is, oil companies have got to be more participatory in alternate energy, in sharing their profits in a variety of ways, and there is very strong and justifiable emotion about their profits,” McCain said.

On Tuesday, Senate Republicans prevented a vote on a Democratic bill that would have imposed a 25 percent windfall profits tax on oil company profits. The motion to cut off debate and proceed to a vote failed by a 51-43 margin. Neither McCain nor Sen. Barack Obama cast a vote on the cloture motion.

But both presumed presidential candidates support a windfall profits tax.

Last month in North Carolina, McCain said, “I don’t like obscene profits being made anywhere — and I’d be glad to look not just at the windfall profits tax — that’s not what bothers me — but we should look at any incentives that we are giving to people or industries or corporations that are distorting the market.”

I know I’m repeating myself, and I will keep repeating this until the election is over.
We simply can’t elect McCain. We right leaning types need to come to grips with reality and just say fuck it, give the country to the Democrats, let them have the keys for the next four years.
I have faith in the strength of this nation and the Democrats no matter how utterly retarded they seem to be can’t completely fuck up the country too badly.

As I watch these McCain clips and some others I have seen on You Tube man I quickly realize that this dude would be a disastrous president when you consider that fact that the Democrats will have complete control of the House and Senate.

I always thought dude was a smarter and better spoken politician. The more I see him in front of a camera or speaking to a group of people he reminds me more of Grandpa Simpson than a legitimate presidential candidate.
At least G Dub had Karl Rove I have no idea who McCain has behind the scenes.

From Hot Air

The latest ad from the RNC takes some low-hanging fruit and makes a feast from it. The ad takes the energy policy of Barack Obama and compares it to the last President that tried it — Jimmy Carter. Obama’s call for a windfall-profits tax against oil companies prompts a history lesson about the results from the last such attempt:

RNC Commercial

BUT NOW WATCH THIS CLIP OF OBAMA….

TEXT: Sen. Barack Obama The Age of oil must end speech

“your great mayor” LOL!

“We fuel our oil addiction by sending over 800 million dollars a day to countries that include some of the most despotic volatile regimes in the world.”

“oil money funds everything from the madrassas that plant the seeds of terror in young minds, to sunni insurgents that attack our troops in Iraq, corrupts budding democracies
and gives dictators from Venezuela to Iran the power to freely defy the international community it even presents a larger target for Osama Bin Laden who has told Al Qaeda to focus your operations on oil especially in Iraq and the gulf area since this will cause Americans to die off on their own”

The clip

Now Bush says this:

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,”

said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Because Obama said this….

Obama: “Sure, I’ll meet with Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, etc”

And as Allahpundit noted, from Obama’s own website:

Without preconditions. That means without Iran guaranteeing anything, let alone the big prize of their nuclear program.

MORE OF THIS HERE AT HOT AIR AGAIN

Now I’m confused and I’m the one posting this shit, Obama says to me (Snoop evil dictator) you run one of the most despotic regimes in the world and I plant the seeds of terror in young minds, and you STILL want to sit down and talk to me? What the fuck?
Which is it? Negotiate with terrorist thugs, stop sending these thugs our money via oil, reduce dependency on foreign oil, we need a windfall profits tax to tax the oil companies, oh don’t forget that we have no other alternative energy resources, bla bla bla, yada yada yada.

CONFUSED!?!

Yes I must agree with El Borak, an Obama presidency will no doubt be a fun one blogging wise. Just think the Democrats will fucken have control of the House, Senate and likely the presidency (even if McCain wins the same thing). The Democrats are likely to turn this country back into the Stone Age. And who do we have to blame, Republicans since they are a bunch of spineless no guts assholes that refuse to run on and stand up for conservative principles.

With the Democrats in charge America will in essence be imprisoned by liberalism and thus will become the “tossed salad man”

 (link)  Many of you have written to me to ask why I recently taped an advertisement with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for The Alliance for Climate Protection, a group founded by former Vice President Al Gore.I completely understand why many of you would have questions about this, so I want to take this opportunity to explain my reasons. First of all, I want to be clear: I don’t think that we have conclusive proof of global warming. And I don’t think we have conclusive proof that humans are at the center of it.

But here’s what we do know. There is an important debate going on right now over the right energy policy, the right environmental policy, and making sure we do the right things for our future and the future of our children and grandchildren. Conservatives are missing from this debate, and I think that’s a mistake. When it comes to preserving our environment for future generations, we can’t have a slogan of “Just yell no!”

I have a different view. I think it’s important to be on the stage, to engage in the debate, and to communicate our position clearly. There is a big difference between left-wing environmentalism that wants higher taxes, bigger government., more bureaucracy, more regulation, more red tape, and more litigation and a Green Conservatism that wants to use science, technology, innovation, entrepreneurs, and prizes to find a way to creatively invent the kind of environmental future we all want to live in. Unless we start making the case for the latter, we’re going to get the former. That’s why I took part in the ad.

Rush in an e-mail to Politico:Well I’m one of those bloggers who does not give a shit about the McCain story. Rush’s quote basically sums it up;

“The story is not the story. The story is the Drive By media turning on its favorite maverick and trying to take him out. The media picked the GOP’s candidate, the NYT endorsed him while they sat on this story, and is now, with utter predictability, trying to destroy him.”“This is what you get when you walk across the aisle and try to make these people your friends. I’m not surprised in the least that the NYT would try to take out John McCain. Predicted this, in fact, way back in the early 2000s. Sen. McCain courted the media, cultivated them, even bragged that the media was his ‘base.’ I cringed when I heard it because the media turning on McCain was as predictable as the sun rising in the morning.”

In case y’all forgot: From the Times

We have strong disagreements with all the Republicans running for president. The leading candidates have no plan for getting American troops out of Iraq. They are too wedded to discredited economic theories and unwilling even now to break with the legacy of President Bush. We disagree with them strongly on what makes a good Supreme Court justice.

Still, there is a choice to be made, and it is an easy one. Senator John McCain of Arizona is the only Republican who promises to end the George Bush style of governing from and on behalf of a small, angry fringe. With a record of working across the aisle to develop sound bipartisan legislation, he would offer a choice to a broader range of Americans than the rest of the Republican field.

Man I still can’t read without laughing!

It’s easy to forget that the Arizona senator is not, in fact, a Democrat. In the past year he has stood against his party on so many prominent and contentious issues that his concurrences with GOP dogma have become more of an exception than a rule. In the conservative media, he has become a figure of vilification on par with Tom Daschle.

Last fall, when his name came up in a meeting of House Republicans, he was booed. And it is no exaggeration to say that he has co-sponsored virtually the entire domestic agenda of the Democratic Party. One prominent Democrat enthuses, “He’s the leader of the loyal opposition.” Typically that role falls to a leader of the opposition party. But the most popular and effective champion of the Democratic Party’s values isn’t Tom Daschle. It’s John McCain.

And at a moment when the party is casting about for a leader to define it against a popular president, and McCain is casting about for a home after his virtual expulsion from the GOP, there is an obvious solution to both dilemmas: John McCain ought to become a Democrat–and a presumptive front-runner for the party’s presidential nomination in 2004.

Snoop was not informed of this, what the hell!!!?

Link - Republicans for Black Empowerment
*********
WASHINGTON (emergingminds.org) — A broad coalition of black conservatives from across the country are holding a press conference to urge former Governor Mike Huckabee to stay in the presidential race for the Republican nomination until the Convention.”Governor Huckabee should not be intimidated to stop his bid for the republican nomination,” states Don Scoggins, veteran GOP activist and among other conservatives hosting the press conference. “The momentum of the grassroots that propelled this party into victory is behind Mike and will not stop fighting for him regardless of his bank account,” also states Scoggins, president of Republicans for Black Empowerment, a DC based national grassroots organization.

The concern of the group is the pressure that is mounting by republican talking heads to push governor Huckabee out of the race. The consensus is that Huckabee’s campaign was deliberately sabotaged by Fred Thompson in South Carolina to hone out a two man race between McCain and Romney in Florida. Polls still show Huckabee leading in many southern states, and competitive in others even with limited resources.

“Inside-the-beltway Republicans have lost touch with the increasing seriousness with which heartland conservatives relate to the traditional values agenda,” states Star Parker, a nationally syndicated columnist and conservative activist. “More and more folks are feeling personally assaulted by the meaninglessness that is gripping our culture and believe that Mike Huckabee is the only republican candidate that embodies the moral clarity of the GOP ideals. The groundswell generating support for Huckabee’s candidacy understand that moral and economic health go hand in hand and should not be underestimated.”

Numerous African American conservatives, many also veteran Republican Party activists, are scheduled to speak at the one hour press conference.

When: Monday, February 4, 2008 - 9:45 AM
Where: National Press Club (Murrow Room)
Who: Black Conservatives for Mike Huckabee

I swear, Negros can be so damm stupid sometimes.
I am certainly a Conservative, but I reject this “black conservative” bullshit.
What the fuck is a black conservative?
Besides as I have said more times than I can count, no true conservative would ever support a tax raising, big government, Amnesty pimping, Mexican consulate in Arkansas
 advocate like Huckabee.
Star Parker, someone I use to respect, must be getting paid by someone to rally Negros to Huckabee’s defense, she likes him far too much and I’m seeing her name associated with him far too much.
I hate that McCain will likely be the GOP nominee, but a Huckabee nomination is just pure foolishness, and this headline is utter fantasy.
I don’t recall fucken private elections where we black “Republican” folks were asked to support a particular nominee.
This is another case of folks making up some fraud coalition so they can grab some headlines and make themselves appear relevant.

This is an old post from Think Progress in 2006, just in case you did not catch before…

John McCain has made clear that he doesn’t like the blogosphere.Now he has introduced legislation that would treat blogs like Internet service providers and hold them responsible for all activity in the comments sections and user profiles. Some highlights of the legislation:

– Commercial websites and personal blogs “would be required to report illegal images or videos posted by their users or pay fines of up to $300,000.”

– Internet service providers (ISPs) are already required to issue such reports, but under McCain’s legislation, bloggers with comment sections may face “even stiffer penalties” than ISPs.

— Social networking sites will be forced to take “effective measures” — such as deleting user profiles — to remove any website that is “associated” with a sex offender. Sites may include not only Facebook and MySpace, but also Amazon.com, which permits author profiles and personal lists, and blogs like DailyKos, which allows users to sign up for personal diaries.

Kevin Bankston of the Electronic Frontier Foundation notes that this proposal may be based more “on fear or political considerations rather than on the facts.” When he introduced his legislation to the Senate, McCain offered no evidence that children are being victimized by people who post comments on blogs.

McCain’s legislation could deal a serious blow to the blogosphere. Lacking resources to police their sites, many individual blogs may have to shut down open discussion.

We have shuddered at Mr. McCain’s occasional, tactical pander to the right because he has demonstrated that he has the character to stand on principle. He was an early advocate for battling global warming and risked his presidential bid to uphold fundamental American values in the immigration debate. A genuine war hero among Republicans who proclaim their zeal to be commander in chief, Mr. McCain argues passionately that a country’s treatment of prisoners in the worst of times says a great deal about its character.

Read the rest, but why bother. If the New York Times backs the dude, that should send HUGE red flags to any “republican” considering voting for him.

Evangelicals for Mitt

Folks I have been a political junkie for a long time. At 44 years of age, I have followed politics fairly closely since I was in Junior High. Not obsessively or anything, but I grew up around a number of individuals who were well known in political circles in the Bay Area back in the day and I have mentioned these individuals before.My political “give a shit meter” went up significantly during the Reagan presidency and I got to the point of actually studying candidates and scrutinizing them more and more particularly individual on the other side of the political aisle.My political views have not changed much, but I have seen a change in the quality of politicians.

Having said that, I often wonder - could the politicians of yesteryear survive the white hot spotlight of today’s campaigns with You Tube, podcasts, blogs, and all the legions of political pundits who pimp their fictitious knowledge to any interested media outlet eager to fill program time?

I know I’m naïve in saying it, but I would have thought that today’s politicians would have a basic understanding of the media magnifying glass that hovers above them on a daily basis.

Mitt Romney is either totally clueless about this fact or he just does not give a fuck.
He is counting on the fact that the average American citizen is a complete idiot and is not paying attention to the political grind; because he hopes that they are much too busy raising their children, working hard on getting that degree, hard at that nine to five just trying to make ends meet.

Maybe voters aren’t paying attention. Not paying attention because of that long subway ride home, or that tiring bumper to bumper traffic on the 405 or the 95.

Not paying attention because they are focused on that new relationship, or maybe preparing that award wining menu for the upcoming Christmas Party.

Not paying attention because mom or dad may be sick, there has been an untimely death in the family, grief from depression, not being able to get your kids all they want this Christmas.

Not paying attention because they are too busy scheming, trying to figure out the story to tell the wife, while the mistress makes the hotel reservation or busy finding that perfect dress to wear on the town because her friend has found the perfect one for you.

Mitt Romney is counting on the fact that there is just so much to occupy our time and so precious few hours in the day.

Oddly enough there are people like me paying way too much attention to liars like Romney and in addition we are willing to devote some of those precious moments that could be devoted to giving my wife a kiss and a big hug to thank her for being the perfect wife. Or playing with the grandchildren or playing my favorite video game. All of the attention being paid to politicians over the years and I have NEVER ever witnessed a politician that was a big a liar as Mitt Romney.

With apologies to Hillary and Bill Clinton, Mitt Romney is by far the best trained monkey politician I have ever seen.

None of my disdain for Romney should matter. His appearance on Meet the Press this morning should kill his run for the presidency. If it does not, people are simply not paying attention.

I have never heard a politician change a position on a topic in the middle of a sentence as many times as Mitt. What makes this morning’s performance more incredible is that I’m sure he was prepared for what Russert was going to ask him and he still failed miserably.
I had a clip of a recent appearance by Michael Dukakis where he called Mitt Romney a huge fraud. I don’t think that goes far enough. This is a man without any political soul whatsoever. His is incapable of telling the truth on where he stands on an issue, because he doesn’t know where he stands; it depends on who he is trying to convince.
Is it a bunch of Iowa farmers, Christians in South Carolina, the NRA, a group of left leaning types in New Hampshire or an anti-abortion group in Pennsylvania? His position shifts to fit his audience.

He is the most deceitful sack of shit in American politics today.

Now those of you who have been peeping this blog for awhile, should already know that I have never ever given Romney any chance in receiving the Republican nomination, mainly because he was Mormon and I have been ranting about that for awhile.
But I will finally admit that his Mormon, Oops…. Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints background will have NOTHING to do with him not receiving the nomination.

He will not receive the nomination because he is a fucken chronic liar. He is more then a chronic flip-flopper. He is a trained monkey, crediting his parents for all his thoughts and motivations, and he truly has no core beliefs of his own.

Oh I did not forget folks the line in the interview where he said that he “literally wept” in 1978 when he heard that the Mormon church had finally decided that blacks could be equal members of that faith.

This has to go down as one of the biggest lies ever told in presidential campaign history.

Almost a bigger load of crap than William Jefferson’s “depends on what the meaning of (is) is”

Although I may disagree with a person’s choice for president during this campaign cycle I can understand the support of virtually all of the candidates on both sides of the political divide. I clearly don’t understand how anybody who is paying attention can support Romney’s candidacy.
This man completely devoid of any core principals should not appeal to any relatively rational voter.

Anybody who after watching “Meet the Press” this morning who would still say that they can support this man for president of the United States is frankly either not wrapped too tight or is an individual who believes that saying whatever needs to be said to get you to your desired goals is a noble endeavor.

People who support Mitt Romney; but don’t want to work for such an individual, be married to or in a relationship with such an individual or raising such an individual, are hypocrites. Chronic lying is wrong and would not be tolerated in any relationship particularly and especially the relationship between this nations president and the American people.

Romney: I don’t flip-flop, I learn from experience:

Here’s a key quote from Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s appearance this morning on NBC-TV’s Meet the Press, during which most of host Tim Russert’s questions focused on whether Romney has flip-flopped on issues such as abortion, gun control, taxes and health care. Romney said the only issue he’s changed much on is abortion — from effectively “pro-choice” to his current “pro-life” stance. Then, he had this to say:

“Tim, if you’re looking for someone who’s never changed any positions on any policies, then I’m not your guy. I do learn from experience. If you want someone who doesn’t learn from experience — who stubbornly takes a position on a particular act and says ‘well, I’m never changing my view based on what I’ve learned’ — that doesn’t make sense to me.”

Some other things Romney said:

• In his recent speech about religion, his Mormon faith and the role of faith in public life, Romney said “freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom.” Pressed by Russert, Romney said that does not mean atheists cannot also be moral persons.

“On an individual basis you have many individuals of great morality that don’t have a particular faith,” he said. He also said he would not require that Supreme Court nominees be men or women of faith.

• He wept with joy the day in 1978 when he heard that the Mormon church had finally decided that blacks could be equal members of that faith. “You can see what I believed and what my family believed,” he said. “My dad (former Michigan Governor George Romney) marched Martin Luther King. … Those are my fundamental core beliefs.” He was driving when he heard the news and “I pulled over and literally wept.”

• As president he would not seek to outlaw the use of so-called “surplus embryos” for stem-cell research.

• He continues to believe that rival Republican contender Mike Huckabee “owes the president an apology” for saying the Bush administration has been arrogant and has a bunker mentality when it comes to foreign policy. That’s different, Romney insisted, from his criticism of the administration’s handling of the post-combat operations phase of the war in Iraq.

“It is a mess,” he said of the situation in Iraq. “If you’re suggesting that it’s equivalent to say we’ve made a lot of errors … and that the president is arrogant and has a bunker mentality … that’s where (Huckabee) went over the line.”

Russert, by the way, said his guest next week will be Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul. Meet the Press is archiving its interviews with the presidential contenders here.

GOP hopeful quoted on race, crime - Link

Texas congressional candidate Ron Paul’s 1992 political newsletter highlighted portrayals of blacks as inclined toward crime and lacking sense about top political issues.

Under the headline of “Terrorist Update,” for instance, Paul reported on gang crime in Los Angeles and commented, “If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be.”

Paul, a Republican obstetrician from Surfside, said Wednesday he opposes racism and that his written commentaries about blacks came in the context of “current events and statistical reports of the time.”

Selected writings by Paul were distributed Wednesday by the campaign of his Democratic opponent, Austin lawyer Charles “Lefty” Morris.

Morris said many of Paul’s views are “out there on the fringe” and that his commentaries will be judged by voters in the November general elections.

Paul said allegations about his writings amounted to name-calling by the Democrats and that his opponents should focus instead on how to shrink government spending and reform welfare.

Morris and Paul are seeking the 14th Congressional District seat held by Greg Laughlin of West Columbia. Laughlin lost the Republican primary to Paul, a former congressman and the Libertarian Party’s 1988 presidential candidate.

Paul, writing in his independent political newsletter in 1992, reported about unspecified surveys of blacks.

“Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action,”Paul wrote.

Paul continued that politically sensible blacks are outnumbered “as decent people.” Citing reports that 85 percent of all black men in the District of Columbia are arrested, Paul wrote:

“Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,’ I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal,” Paul said.

Paul also wrote that although “we are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.”

A campaign spokesman for Paul said statements about the fear of black males mirror pronouncements by black leaders such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has decried the spread of urban crime.

Paul continues to write the newsletter for an undisclosed number of subscribers, the spokesman said.

Writing in the same 1992 edition, Paul expressed the popular idea that government should lower the age at which accused juvenile criminals can be prosecuted as adults.

He added, “We don’t think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such.”

Paul also asserted that “complex embezzling” is conducted exclusively by non-blacks.

“What else do we need to know about the political establishment than that it refuses to discuss the crimes that terrify Americans on grounds that doing so is racist? Why isn’t that true of complex embezzling, which is 100 percent white and Asian?” he wrote.

In later newsletters, Paul aimed criticism at the Israeli government’s U.S. lobbying efforts and reported allegations that President Clinton used cocaine and fathered illegitimate children.

Stating that lobbying groups who seek special favors and handouts are evil, Paul wrote, “By far the most powerful lobby in Washington of the bad sort is the Israeli
