With popularity comes notoriety. That’s the lesson Ron Paul is learning as the nation observes Martin Luther King Day and the GOP presidential contender bears the burden of disparaging comments, made in a newsletter bearing his name, about the slain civil rights leader and the national holiday that honors him.
In a 1990 newsletter called the Ron Paul Political Report, which resurfaced earlier this month in The New Republic, Ron Paul — or his ghostwriters — called King an adulterer and seducer of young children, and questioned why the nation should celebrate the Civil Rights leader with the same glory as that given to its first president.
“We are supposed to honor this ‘Christian minister’ and lying socialist satyr with a holiday that puts him on a par with George Washington?” the newsletter asked under an entry titled “‘Dr.’ King.”
Lee Adds: If Ron Paul would simply do a little research he would have found out that the FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, did its best tosmear MLK and their studies were found to be lies! Ron Paul shoud hang his head in shame!
