Ron Paul: Black Caucus Only Against War Because They Want That Money For Food Stamps

[tishaLA]

Former Republican Rep. Ron Paul, the father of potential presidential candidate Rand Paul and a former presidential candidate himself, said the Congressional Black Caucus does not support war because they want that money for food stamps.

“I was always annoyed with it in Congress because we had an anti-war unofficial group, a few libertarian Republicans and generally the Black Caucus and others did not—they are really against war because they want all of that money to go to food stamps for people here,” Ron Paul told Lew Rockwell in early February during a discussion on sanctions. <...>

Always remember, folks: Paul had NOTHING to do with those racist newsletters bearing his name, so STOP SAYING THAT!

[zappaman]

1. I wonder if any of his supporters here regret voting for him?

[Cali_Democrat]

9. I doubt it

Those supporters you're referring to here will probably vote for Rand Paul while they actively try to destroy Hillary.

[Blue_Tires]

11. Yeah, I'm also wondering

where all his emoprog dudebro cheerleaders on DU went...

None of them dare admit I had Paul and his cultists pegged from Day 1 back in '08...

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. I doubt it, cause they stand for the same things.

[kelliekat44]

119. BINGO!!! nt

[JI7]

25. this is why they love him

[Number23]

53. You got that right. And not only him, they love the men who love him just as much

No matter how slimy.

[Cha]

68. Didn't Dennis K favor him for his VP? What kind of hogwash was that?! And,

how much did his supporters turn themselves into pretzels over it?!!

[Ikonoklast]

88. Dennis Kucinich has his own history of racial politics, so birds of a feather, I suppose.

Dennis had no problem with redlining in his district as a councilman, for instance.

[Cha]

92. I guess so.. you'd have to be tone deaf to blatant racism to consider ron paul for anything or call

him "dreamy" like eddie snowden.

"On #arsificial, a channel on Ars Technica's public Internet Relay Chat server, Snowden shared his opinions with other users on everything from life in Switzerland ("God I hate metric. Why can't they use real numbers over here?&quot to Ron Paul ("He's so dreamy.&quot to unemployment in the US ("Almost everyone was self-employed prior to 1900. Why is 12% employment so terrifying?&quot to Social Security ("Somehow, our society managed to make it hundreds of years without social security just fine.&quot ."

2. I'm not black but I want WAR MONEY to go to social services that HELP people

not oligarchs.

[ablamj]

44. AMEN!

AMEN!

[wildbilln864]

61. yes me also! n/t

[Scuba]

72. Me too.

[Skittles]

106. THANK YOU

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

118. Yes, even if it were true

What's wrong with any congressperson saying "we oppose this expenditure on war, and would like the money spent in ways that would actually benefit our constituents"?

I would point out, however, that the overwhelming majority of food stamp recipients are white.

[PADemD]

122. Agree

Also not to war and killing.

[riversedge]

3. Ron--the ol bull blowing off methane from this pasture!

[williesgirl]

4. He is such a dick!

[Man from Pickens]

5. decisions decisions

lemme see... war or food stamps... I think I have a preference

[KeepItReal]

6. Sanctions never work, huh, Paul? How about South Africa?

And the Congressional Black Caucus doesn't want Americans to die of starvation or malnutrition any more than they want American troops to die for wars based on lies.

[FSogol]

7. FSogol: Ron Paul only considered human because he looks human.

He's actually a sophisticated slime mold/cockroach hybrid. No offense to slime molds and cockroaches.

[3catwoman3]

10. "...because he looks human."

Well, barely.

[Rozlee]

46. More like an over-the-hill garden gnome.

If you don't leave out milk and earmarks for his district, he'll blight your garden.

[freshwest]

16. That goes for his much admired spawn, as well. n/t

[FSogol]

17. His weasel-headed spoor?

[irisblue]

34. Hey! do not insult weasels, they have a biologic function. Ron Paul is wasted O2 and hydrogen

[olddots]

8. who ever buys into the Paul's crap

are ignorant ,rascist , lazy asswipes .

[on point]

12. Pukes only against food stamps because they want endless war

Plus tax cuts for wealthy naturally. Part of their basic corruption

[whathehell]

13. Is this real?...Please tell me it's an Onion piece.

OMG. What an IDIOTIC racist fuck.

These effing people are OBSESSED with food stamps -- You'd think we

were spending a military sized budget on them, when the truth is,

the ENTIRE "safety net" of the United States is the SMALLEST in the

Wesern Industrialized world.

But you are correct -- this shows that he is just ANOTHER Right Wing

Racist -- The only good thing he did with this is POSSIBLY ruin Rand's

chances, otherwise Rand will have to go all Jeb Bush, and explain

how he's NOT his dad.

[ND-Dem]

115. they are. it's weird.

[KamaAina]

14. Um, Ron, white people use food stamps, too.

A lot more of them than black folks, as a matter of fact.

[bravenak]

15. Such an ugly man.

Nasty on the inside. Like a bowl of unwashed chittlins.

[freshwest]

20. So is the beloved Rand. Warning, grab your Emetrol, Dramamine and a Barf Bag:

http://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/ron-paul-is-no-obama-mama/

http://www.lewrockwell.com/author/gary-north/

Put lew rockwell + anything for the same if not worse, like promoting Neo-Confederacy. The cult support of the Pauls is nauseating.

These are Infowars source materials, along with Bircher screeds, touted daily and tailored to affect any disaffected group. But this is what it leads back to in the end. It's no wonder they win elections, they've got the advantage.

[bravenak]

23. Gary North.

OMG. The man needs an institution.
I've always thought rand paul looked like a weasel.

[freshwest]

29. Instead of an institution, North gets more air time than Obama. And Rand doesn't look like a weasel.

He is one! He flip flops more than an over cooked pancake on a griddle. Always the opportunist.

Don't forget his frat days when he and his pals dragged a girl out to a lake and forced her to get down on her knees before him to allegedly worship Rand as the 'Aqua Bubba.' Rather suggestive, imagery, no?

She was intimidated into not going to the law. That came out and he got elected.

His staff headstomping a woman didn't put off his voting block, so it's no wonder they are against women in every way.

He was even elected after admitting in 2010 he'd pay for the deficits* caused by the extension of the Bush tax cut rate by eliminating vets' healthcare, SNAP, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and on and on.

He's still getting the nod after attempts with every CR to frontload them with national personhood, RTW laws and Keystone. Ha,ha! Obama just vetoed it!

Add his supporting the 2A solution, unlimited gun rights, militias and secession, 'states rights' under its new brand 'Tenther' and his dismissing voting rand civil rights as beneath property rights, he is the perfect plantation era candidate.

His group want not only the amendments gone in the end, but the Constitution as well, and a return to the Articles of the Conferacy, which had no issue with slavery philosophically.

None of that mattered to his voters, and doesn't seem to matter to a lot of people online, either.

*He was for increasing the deficit with his vote, and was elected like the rest of the Tea Party, to stop the sunset of the Bush tax cut and to pass Keystone. Clinton had a higher tax rate and Obama based his economic recovery plans on that, and resisted Keystone since he entered office in 2009.

Then the fight was on against Obama immediately, never ended, with a American public who either votes GOP or doesn't vote, which is the same thing.

Yet some support the weasel.

[awoke_in_2003]

36. you take that back right now...

Weasels are kind of cute

[bravenak]

39. I know, right?

Some type of ratty animal. He's just plain oogly. Poor thing.

[JHB]

18. Also remember... If he had nothing to do with it, then he defrauded his subscribers

I always like that aspect of that claim: "I deny racism by admitting to blatant fraud."

[Rex]

19. Hoo Ha cherry soda!

I think Ron Paul might be certifiably insane.

[Blue_Tires]

26. He clearly is batshit

But when he was in office his handlers and staffers could "filter" him and put him in the best light -- Especially when he was a presidential contender...

Now that he's out of the daily public spotlight, watch out....

[Rex]

28. He offends me on a level I cannot even describe.

It is lower than base. His very atoms scream for sweat release from the insane giggling entity that is Ron Paul. The stars in the heavens demand back their star stuff in silence rage. A protest made billions of years before the galaxy coalesced into what we perceive it as today. Time and space are offended by this walking talking abomination. Air cries in agony when he opens his mouth to release sounds similar to broken glass and fingernails on a chalkboard.

It is close to something like that.

[Blue_Tires]

58. At least DUers have stopped defending him....

[3catwoman3]

64. Very vivid imagery.

I read it 3 times just to enjoy your word usage.

[Enthusiast]

121. Me too.

[Robbins]

22. Excuse my language

But,what a f-ing idiot and racist.

more whites than blacks are on welfare.

Food stamps helps many to have money for food.

I am white but i an tired of bs from those like him and gingrich.

[TheKentuckian]

24. Asinine but if it was true then it would be a far wiser investment.

[Iggo]

27. Fucking nazi.

Sorry..."White Supremacist."

30. Ron Paul/Edward Snowden Interview----

Paul called Snowden a truth-teller, and asked why whistleblowers like him were demonized.

[tishaLA]

31. You're not trying to smear Mr Snowden because Paul agrees with him abt

the surveillance state, are you?

[Cha]

69. Snowden smears himself on Ron Paul.. along with his infamous "leakers should be shot in the balls"

before he became one.

"On #arsificial, a channel on Ars Technica's public Internet Relay Chat server, Snowden shared his opinions with other users on everything from life in Switzerland ("God I hate metric. Why can't they use real numbers over here?&quot to Ron Paul ("He's so dreamy.&quot to unemployment in the US ("Almost everyone was self-employed prior to 1900.

86. I offered the interview without comment because I think

it speaks for itself.

41. Oh, Oh! Can I play too?

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/04/22/clinton-praises-rep-paul-for-inspiring-enthusiastic-supporters/

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton interrupted her testimony on Capitol Hill today to pay a compliment to Rep. Ron Paul, the Texas congressman who made an unsuccessful bid for the GOP presidential nomination last year.

As she finished answering a question from Paul, she added: “And, at the risk of going over our time, I just want to say, having campaigned during the last presidential election, you had the most enthusiastic supporters of anybody I ever saw.”

Paul laughed, and replied, “I love to hear that.”

I've asked this before, and I'll try again: what's your hourly billing rate?

[msanthrope]

45. This is now the third thread you've followed me to!! People will say we're

in love.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

48. I don't follow you to threads, and you're not nearly as dumb as you're pretending to be.

I have an admiration for the work that Ed Snowden and Glenn Greenwald have done. You have a special hatred for both of them. As a consequence, we both end up in the same threads (and sub-threads that relate to Greenwald, Snowden, or both). So you can stop your low-level stalking accusations and do this thing head-on.

So let's go. You've tried to smear Ed Snowden by association to Ron Paul. I responded with a post about Hillary Clinton praising Ron Paul. You changed the subject.

And no, not if we were the last two people on earth, msanthrope. If I haven't been completely clear about that, please do ask for more clarification.


(edited for clarity--specified "sub-threads" instead of "threads&quot

[msanthrope]

52. I'm in Manny's Keystone thread now! See ya' there! nt

[peacebird]

128. Msanthrope never answers, eh?

Big surprise there. not.

[Rex]

49. Yeah the 'guilt by association' tactic is funny. Really undeniable when in their own words.

"Even when there are tensions between our values and other objectives, America, he reminds us, succeeds by standing up for our values, not shirking them, and leads by engaging peoples and societies, the sources of legitimacy, not governments alone."

That's HRC praising Henry Kissinger.

Hey, anyone KNOW the next time Good Henry plans on taking a vacation to Vietnam or Pakistan or Turkey or Chile? A lot more countries where he helped fund dictators at Ford and Nixon's request?

IMO, praising Good Henry is like praising Dick Cheney.

[NYC Liberal]

109. That's a compliment?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

111. Yes.

[G_j]

50. and who cares?

[freshwest]

65. LOL! Paul said at the link:

"You know, my name was connected to Edward Snowden," said Paul. "They really wanted to blackball him, to destroy him, so they said: He donated to the Ron Paul campaign!"

Supporting and donating to Paul is not a politically neutral position. Anyone who fell for that bigot or falls for his son, has questionable judgment.

Both of the Bircher Pauls are dividing the nation to sell off to corporations and the super rich. They follow the Koch agenda without fail. Both father and son stink:

All over the road! Technicolor!

Oh, you got pollution! It's dead!

And it's stinking to high heaven!

C'mon, stink!

JMHO, and one of my favorite country songs...

[Blue_Tires]

70. Yeah, we're not supposed to remember Paul is Snowden's political idol...

[Bobbie Jo]

84. Furthermore...

We're not supposed to care.

"You continue to stand behind individuals who espouse racist, homophobic, and sexist ideas," said the student. "Why have you not explicitly condemned the authors?"

There was a mixture of boos and applause -- definitely more boos. Paul brushed off the question. "You'd have to dig 'em up, because I can't find stuff like that," he said. "I personally did not write the stuff out, and I had said where I disagree on it. That is too broad, for me to say I'm gonna disavow everything I wrote in a newsletter, that's foolishness."

"Yet even in the face of this historically disproportionate aggression, countries around the world have offered support and asylum. These nations, including Russia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Ecuador have my gratitude and respect for being the first to stand against human rights violations carried out by the powerful rather than the powerless. By refusing to compromise their principles in the face of intimidation, they have earned the respect of the world.

Though it hardly seems like it's been a full year, it's about that time for the CPAC Convention where Republican wanna-be candidates try to out crazy each other. If this trial balloon is any indication, Paul's speech will be a real barn burner. Maybe venturing into crosses too.

I'm as white as it goes - but I would much more prefer "war-money" go to food stamps - and general welfare, not to say rebuilding the infrastructure and rebuild the industry who was the heart of US for so many years - instead of putting it in weapons and wars US will never recover from... I even want US to have Universal Health Care - compatible with what is the norm in most of Europe and in Canada... At least as good as in Canada...

But then - this is just "code-words" for giving black money - or some pre-paid cards who they then "waste" on something like food.... Maybe even some decent meat sometimes, who I understand is a problem for many in GOP, that poor pepole should have the ability of getting a decent meal now and then....

Diclotican

[randys1]

51. The Paul family are racists and Rand has the slave owner mentality, it is why he is in favor

of fixing the insanely lopsided criminal law disparity.

He has that slave owner attitude of doing things for them, but some things they will need to do for themselves like food, etc.

We have a racist problem in America...uh huh




p.s. the reason why people need food stamps, the rich white pricks ought to be grateful those people dont burn their world to the ground

[Panich52]

54. He tryin to submarine Rand?

Yeah. Remember 6 yrs ago when he denied ties to his own racist rag?

I posted piece on him yesterday. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026270132
It's like he's trying to get in the news in a manner that might help tank Rand's WH bid.

56. Ron Paul was always slicker than his dumber than dumb son. Ron crafted the anti war

plea and that was the only thing he ever got right. He was slick enough to sell his
reprehensible and dangerous ideas as a result of the anti war stance. It was
sad to see a percentage of young vets buy his schtick.

Here he is going full throttle and is not bothering to cover his racist viewpoints with
"freedom".

79. silly me to forget that.

[Jamaal510]

63. And this is the guy who people went crazy over on YouTube in 2012...

Then again, I have to step back from my keyboard and remind myself that there are like-minded people all over YouTube and the Internet in general, including those who don't know/care that there are lower amounts of blacks than whites on government programs. I have to remind myself that many Republicans and Libertarians still believe this lie. We're in the 21st century, but the welfare queen-caliber rhetoric is still a thing. We have a long way to go before RWers face repercussions (within their own party) for participating in this type of hate speech.

[alp227]

67. Because rhetoric works.

Lee Atwater, of Willie Horton ad fame:

You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things, and a byproduct of them is blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."

And Pres. Lyndon Johnson:

If you can convince the lowest white man that he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll even empty his pockets for you.

[JonLP24]

71. Wow, Rand Paul needs to distance himself from his father now

(just a recommendation for political strategy)

My father holds view incredible different than mine (he once posted a mention of how many Marines died over a course of a week or less and asked "were flags flown at half mass" within the context of the Sandy Hook tragedy) but this isn't good for Rand Paul at all.

[Mr Dixon]

73. LOL

Guess he could not hide his true colors any longer

[Generic Other]

75. Food stamps are 1000 times better investment than bombs

As is affordable housing, medical care, education, jobs...all better than bombing innocent people.

So to recap, I do not support Ron Paul because I am not an inhuman monster.

90. Why the hell

is he talking to Lew Rockwell in the first place. During his own campaign, he tried to distance himself as much as possible from him and claimed that Rockwell was really responsible for the bad stuff in the newsletters bearing his name and not him. I know that they are big buds and share the same slimy ideology, but Lew can't control his tongue in public and he pulls R. Paul along with him if they get together. One would think that he would keep his associations with Rockwell under wraps for the sake of his son's campaign. It just shows the extent of the contempt they have for people.
