He is also the man who once said: "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. [FN 6] "
Outright racism. Dr King would love that! /sarc.- Mooseka, on 12/19/2007, -23/+6yes ron paul drives around looking for black people to hang all the time i'm sure

And that message of true freedom and true individual 'rights' will continue to grow stronger and stronger long after Ron Paul is dead. You should read what he has written over the years regarding human rights - it is strikingly similar to Dr. King's message. He's just fortunate enough to be the one who is in the spotlight to spread this message and start another peaceful revolution as Martin Luther King did.

Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags goes up,
Churning and burning, they yern for the cup.
They deftly manouver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank,
Wreckless and wild they pour thru the turns,
Their prowess is podent and secretly stern.
As they speed thru the finish the flags go down.
The fans get up, and get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup,
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

- XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 12/20/2007, -37/+5Are you people ***** stupid? Ron Paul is reversing what Martin Luther King worked for by voting against hate crime legislation.
In 2004, Rep. Paul was the only member of Congress to vote against commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He has also opposed the renewal of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Is Ron Paul a racist? His voting record tends to say so. He is cleverly. wielding states' rights to defend his racist agenda.

"Whenever this issue of compensatory or preferential treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but he should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the first would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up." --Martin Luther King Jr.
"Among the many vital jobs to be done, the nation must not only radically readjust its attitude toward the Negro in the compelling present, but must incorporate in its planning some compensatory consideration for the handicaps he has inherited from the past." --Martin Luther King Jr.- kemp34, on 01/11/2008, -1/+2Individuals need to take this upon themselves to achieve.

- RobTyree, on 12/20/2007, -1/+24The 1965 Voting Rights Act is actually one of the most racist pieces of legislation ever passed in this country. It essentially calls for members of some minorities to be effectively "rounded up" and forced to vote. How can anyone consider that equality or freedom? It is every individual's right to vote - or to withhold that vote if they choose. If I want to vote, I have to register and get myself to the polls on election day - why should it be any different for anyone else, regardless of what color their skin happens to be? Equality means that we are all the same, not that some of us should get preferential or different treatment.
Hate crime legislation - or any law that pertains to a specific "group" of people for that matter - does a serious disservice to the idea that we all have inalienable rights as human beings, which is what the founding fathers believed and wrote in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only thing that laws like "Hate Crime" laws serve to do is divide us by giving special treatment to someone due to their voluntary or involuntary membership in a "group" while withholding those rights from everyone else. Being a member of a specific group does not grant you rights - any and all rights you have are yours as an individual. After all, the individual is the smallest minority, and therefore deserves the greatest protection of any "group".
We punish criminals for the acts they perpetrate against other people. Why should their motivation matter? Should the life of an average person who is killed in a carjacking be valued less than the life of a gay man who is slain due to his sexual preferences? If both lives have the same inherent value (as they should if we are all equal), should the punishment of the person responsible for either of those crimes differ, or should the punishment be the same?- theskyisblue, on 01/05/2008, -1/+1Spot on!

It has as much merit as Barack Obama being a Muslim.
Then again, despite us having the fame of being closeminded, these Paul-haters, are like 9-11 Troothers, no amount of common sense or proof deters them, they just continue citing their poorly investigated info and try to tie loose ends and whenever they are proved wrong they just stick their fingers in their ears and say "LA LA LA!!!"
Yes we get it, this is how the original smearer got the idea: "the racist card worked against Pat Buchanon, and Ron Paul is a GOP maverick like Pat so let's just continue saying the word racist until it becomes 'common knowledge', so do I know some friends who can repeat this non-stop like retarded parrots?!

- cpedersen13, on 01/04/2008, -1/+4MLK understood well the dangerous ascendency of fascism and the corporatocracy. He also saw the rise of the military industrial complex just as Eisenhower predicted and he vigorously opposed the Vietnam war. I once read that right before his assassination he was preparing to organize a huge march to support American workers. For all these things, MLK posed a grave threat to the elite power structure and is very likely the reason his life was cut short by an assassin.
Since the unfortunate murders of JFK, RFK, and MLK, Americans have been subdued and hypnotized by the mainstream media with its continuous stream of political propaganda and lures into the materialism of our consumerist culture. The combination of the open exchange of ideas and information on the internet with Ron Paul's candidacy during a perfect storm of financial and social decay have brought us to this propitious moment.

- UpBeforeSunrise, on 01/05/2008, -1/+3I think its a way better day to get peoples attention than Ben Franklins Birthday, I know a lot of people are interested in the founding Fathers but most of them already support Ron Paul ,I just wish everyone could decide on a day ,I know I have.
- countsueulaw, on 01/06/2008, -1/+2$10.00 the cost for freedom, what a bargain, at that price I can afford to buy all my familys freedom on MLK day. Hey maybe we could have a multi-race, multi million man/woman/child/grandparent march to the white house on the same day?
- thefarrier, on 01/07/2008, -1/+5RON PAUL IS GOING TO WIN THIS THING
"Ron Paul doesn't have a chance to win. You can't fight City Hall. Death and taxes." It's all a bunch of enemy propaganda rolling across our picket line. We saw it all throughout the Twentieth Century. Now, in the Twenty-first Century, it's time for us to stand-up tall, and to let the establishment know that we're not going to let them cram us into their rat maze anymore. We will no longer submit to their agenda of dehumanization and disenfranchisement. I don't know about you, but I'm concerned about what's happening in this broken and aching world I wake-up to each morning. I'm concerned about the systems of control wielded against us each day, and about the never ending, circular conflict between power and powerlessness that has been so corrosive to the American spirit. I want freedom, and more of it--not tyranny, and that's what you should want too. It's up to each and everyone of us to turn-loose just some of the greed, the hatred, the envy, and yes, the fear, because that is their most effective method of controlling us--make us feel pathetic and small so we'll, willingly, give-up our sovereignty, our liberty and our destiny. We have got to realize that we are being conditioned on a mass scale. Start challenging this corporate slave state that rules over us all. The Twenty-first Century is going to be a new century. Not the Century of Slavery. Not the Century of Lies. It's going to be age of Americans standing up for something pure and something right. What a bunch of garbage--liberal Democrats, conservative Republicans. It's all a phony, poorly-staged, left-right paradigm designed to control you. It's two sides of the same coin--two management teams bidding for the CEO job of Slavery Incorporated. The truth is out there in front of you, hidden in plain sight, but they lay-out this buffet of lies for us to consume. I'm sick of it, and I'm not going to take a bite out of it anymore. Ron Paul is going to win this thing. The American people are too good. We're not a bunch of underachievers. We're going to stand-up together and beat the odds. We are going to get fired-up and use our creativity, our energy, and our burning desire for freedom to show Slavery Incorporated that the dynamic human spirit of the Twenty-first Century refuses to submit.- Journeywithinn, on 01/08/2008, -1/+1this is what is going on in tis country now, when you support our Constitution

- UKLooney, on 01/08/2008, -1/+3#@*%$* What have we to lose? ALL our money may well be worthless this time next year #@*%$*
- Journeywithinn, on 01/08/2008, -1/+2It does not matter what day. The 21st was chosen not as a money bomb day, but as a SUPPORTER day--to show how many support RP, not to raise the most money. Please do it!
- wwwhank, on 01/09/2008, -1/+1OK where are all the RP supporters. Every single Ron Paul meetup member should have signed up already. If not then why even be in a Ron Paul Meetup group. I currently see a little over 5000 pledges. This is ridiculous. We need a surge of support and now.
- chaosium, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1What RP supporters?
- fuzzywzhe, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1ME for one!
- Arkansas243, on 01/11/2008, -0/+0This RP supporter will not be participating. MLK was a communist POS. I refuse to participate in this overtly PC pandering. What's next - a money bomb on Che's birthday to pander to Hispanics? What about a Pol Pot money bomb to win the support of the Asian community? Give me a break. Anyone who admires MLK obviously does not understand the concepts of Constitutionalism and liberty.
- UnrealMiniMe, on 01/18/2008, -0/+0MLK may have been misinformed on some counts, but given the horrendous socioeconomic conditions he was observing and outright oppression of black people at the time, you can hardly blame him for coming to the conclusions he did. In other words, our disagreement with him on economic policy is no reason not to admire him for his leadership in nonviolent activism. Give credit where it's due, please.
- Arkansas243, on 01/19/2008, -0/+0I refuse to give credit to a man who is portrayed as a saint but who had sex with prostitutes and plagarized his doctoral thesis. And yes, I CAN blame him for being a communist. MLK was nothing more than a puppet for who was paraded around by his communist and lefty handlers. He was no leader. There is no way that any rational human being who knows all the facts about MLK can possibly admire him and support RP.
- UnrealMiniMe, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1You can choose to remember a person by their virtues or by their faults. While I agree that popular culture has ignored these faults to canonize him as a saint, you have to understand that for most, he's a symbol for nonviolent activism. This is what Ron Paul admires him for (and I'm sure that's where the admiration ends), and I think you can respect such a symbol even if you cannot respect the man.

- OMGLINUXWOAH, on 01/11/2008, -8/+1Martin Luther King was kind of a scumbag. He did a great thing so his accomplishments should be celebrated, but I don't think we should celebrate the person.
- ivandir, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2Everyone should donate for Ron Paul and for Dr. King.
- NJRounderRay, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2The ideals of liberty and freedom will never die...even after we pass on...
Pray our kids have a life as good as ours!
RonPaul 2008 for Republican nomination!!!
The NH primaries have been compromised...we need a new movement...one which AWAKENS THE MASSES... - Arkansas243, on 01/11/2008, -3/+1I'm sorry but I will not be participating in this money bomb. Do you people know anything about MLK and what he really represented? He was an admitted Communist, has been found guilty of plagarizing his doctoral thesis, and was caught on tape by the FBI having sex with prostitutes. It is sad to see that so many RP supporters have been brain washed by the PC media. MLK was no hero - he was a complete slimebag who, politically, represents the exact opposite of RP's message of liberty.
- soupdawg30, on 01/12/2008, -1/+1This is all true.
- Arkansas243, on 01/11/2008, -3/+0Go to martinlutherking.org to get the real story on MLK. Does this really sound like a person we should be honoring?
- volksgardencom, on 01/12/2008, -0/+0time to push harder
- whitesands8, on 01/12/2008, -0/+0Folks....We're fighting for something real here...The other candidates can't get this kind of support because they are just going to lead America in the same direction we've been going..We're fighting for our sovereignty!!! And everyone else thinks it's just a big joke only because they fail to be informed...We have something to fight for and this needs to be bigger than the last two..I want to encourage everyone to promote the MLK donation day with the understanding that America as we know could be gone and absorbed into into an NAU taking its orders from the U.N...We need to keep strong!
