Maybe FOX News knows a bit more about Ron Paul that you do, like what's contained in these little snippets about Ron Paul's "Newsletters":
quote:
Martin Luther King Jr. earned special ire from Paul's newsletters, which attacked the civil rights leader frequently, often to justify opposition to the federal holiday named after him. ("What an infamy Ronald Reagan approved it!" one newsletter complained in 1990. "We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day.")
quote:
Like blacks, gays earn plenty of animus in Paul's newsletters. They frequently quoted Paul's "old colleague," Congressman William Dannemeyer--who advocated quarantining people with AIDS--praising him for "speak[ing] out fearlessly despite the organized power of the gay lobby." In 1990, one newsletter mentioned a reporter from a gay magazine "who certainly had an axe to grind, and that's not easy with a limp wrist." In an item titled, "The Pink House?" the author of a newsletter--again, presumably Paul--complained about President George H.W. Bush's decision to sign a hate crimes bill and invite "the heads of homosexual lobbying groups to the White House for the ceremony," adding, "I miss the closet."
quote:
Then there is Gary North, who has worked on Paul's congressional staff. North is a central figure in Christian Reconstructionism, which advocates the implementation of Biblical law in modern society. Christian Reconstructionists share common ground with libertarians, since both groups dislike the central government. North has advocated the execution of women who have abortions and people who curse their parents.

Read the whole article,and will again later,to see if I missed anything.
If the piece is true at all,Ron Paul is an all American republican.Not so much the libertarian(as some claim).
Complete with bigoted POVs ,for blacks,gays,women,etc..
He criticized what happened in South Africa, when they had their reforms,and the end of apartheid.
But so did Rush Limbaugh,Bob Grant,and every other right-wing talking head ass hole out there,at the time.As did many elected republicans,like Bob Dornan (R-Ca)http://www.bobdornan.com/.
No new news there.
The republican party`s embrace of the lunatic fringe,the militia movements,supremacist front groups,like the
Council of Conservative Citizens ,gay haters like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell,the weird people who think the UN has a secrete army,and any number of anti-American movements,like the neo-conservative movement, are no different than Ron Paul`s embrace,of some of those things.
This is America,... we have those things here.
My point, was that Fox news was/is biased against Paul.
Fox news is not trying to save us from Ron Paul,b/c they support so many of the ideas and people, mentioned before.There was nothing benevolent,about what Fox did.It was pure calculated bias.
I think, it`s b/c Paul will pull us out of Iraq,..period.
Paul couldn`t care less about the political,social,or moral fallout, that ending that failure will bring the republican party.The folks at Fox News,do.
Other than ending the war in Iraq,Ron Paul is no different than half of the republican party.
My point still stands.
Fox is not a good faith player ,...or fair or balanced.
Maybe they know something we don`t ?,.....my ass!
