Well, here's a shocker: You know those racist newsletters published under Ron Paul's name, sometimes with Ron Paul's byline, which were frequently used to promote Ron Paul's political career? Turns out, Ron Paul had a strong editorial hand in them:

The Republican presidential candidate has denied writing inflammatory passages in the pamphlets from the 1990s and said recently that he did not read them at the time or for years afterward. Numerous colleagues said he does not hold racist views.

But people close to Paul’s operations said he was deeply involved in the company that produced the newsletters, Ron Paul & Associates, and closely monitored its operations, signing off on articles and speaking to staff members virtually every day.

Let's just say it outright: If you're a Ron Paul fan and you're ignoring these newsletters, you're a fool. You can believe Ron Paul has changed his opinion, or you can own the fact that your candidate is a big ol' racist and conspiracy-minded loon, but you can't pretend that he didn't know about them anymore.
