This one is going to be short. Today, I tackle an old Paultard talking point. The idea that Ron Paul thinks of Rosa Parks as a hero, and that voting against her Congressional Gold Medal was actually a good thing, because he was upholding the constitution in her name. They also bring up the fact that Ron Paul volunteered to donate $100 of his own money, rather than charging the tax payers for it. Unfortunately, there are a few problems with his story.

Have you ever dealt with a Paultard and thought out loud, "You seriously can't believe that argument, can you?" Well, after thinking about this matter for a while, and having dealt with numerous Paultards, I have come to a new realization.

Maybe they don't.

The basis for this story comes from Sultan Knish, who reports on a ronpaulforums poster named DaronWestbrooke. The story, told only through screenshots, reveals an eye opening looking inside the mind of a Paultard. Daron Westbrooke starts off by freaking out over the recent TNR revelation, unsure of how he can continue defending the man. Eventually, Daron becomes corrupted by the forces of evil, gradually shedding more and more of his integrity, until he is nothing more than a hollow puppet for Ron Paul. It's something that all of us have have about Paultards, but something we've never been able to confirm it.

Until now.

Most people who are familiar with Ron Paul are familiar with the accusations of racism involving his newsletter. Today, Ron Paul appeared on CNN and tried to paint himself as the "anti-racist."

In order to prove his case, Ron Paul cites his tasteless Martin Luther King day money bomb, which another poster brought up yesterday.

One question, though: Did Ron Paul remember to ask the King Family Estate before he launched this campaign? If not, then it could be a costly mistake.

Things are looking bad for Ron Paul. In addition to his crushing defeat in the most libertarian state in the US, he also has to deal with the recent revelation from James Kirchick of the New Republic.

Right now, the Paultards are running scared, and they're acting just as irrational as ever. For instance, if you perform a search for "Angry White Man Ron Paul" on digg.com, you will only see two results with a few dozen diggs between them, both written in defense of Ron Paul. The original article by TNR has recieved over 300 diggs and has been covered on the national news, but has successfully buried by the Paultard community.

In this diary, we'll go over strategies for dealing with them.

If you're on this site and you know about Ron Paul, then you probably know about his less than stellar history with racism. One of the most straight-forward examples of this comes from Ron Paul's infamous newsletter. However, it appears that these excerpts may only be the tip of the racist iceberg.

On a recent episode of "Tucker," Jamie Kirchick of The New Republic said that "What we thought were just isolated examples back in 1996, now, we're going to see, were part of a two decade long carreer, just full of this stuff." Kirchick claims that Ron Paul once referred to Martin Luther King as a "gay pedophile," and intends to come forward with his findings in the near future. A video clip from this segment can be found here. Thanks to Reason.com for the heads up:
