Ron Paul: The Newsletters

I'm not a James Kirchick fan, but I remember getting one of these racist and homophobic Ron Paul mailers back when I was in college, and the reporting here is very thorough. For his part, Paul claims that he only wrote the parts of the mailers that weren't racist. Oh, OK.

When you can't even win the antiwar vote in the GOP from John "million years in Iraq" McCain, you have message problems. And maybe because this kind of ugliness has seeped in.
