Beginning in 1978, Rep. Ron Paul’s (R-TX) name graced newsletters that were released on a seemingly monthly basis: Ron Paul’s Freedom Report, Ron Paul Political Report, The Ron Paul Survival Report. “The Freedom Report’s online archives only go back to 1999,” but The New Republic’s Jamie Kirchick recently tracked down physical copies of many of the pre-1999 reports.
According to Kirchick, they’re peppered with a “decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews, and gays.” Here are a few examples: On David Duke: “Our priority should be to take the anti-government, anti-tax, anti-crime, anti-welfare loafers, anti-race privilege, anti-foreign meddling message of Duke, and enclose it in a more consistent package of freedom.” On Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “[A] comsymp, if not an actual party member, and the man who replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration.” On African-Americans: “I’ve urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self defense. For the animals are coming.” On Gays: “Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their
George W. Bush, ‘The Leader of the Free World’, bungling at APEC summit (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) in Australia. He forgets what country he’s in, what summit he’s at:
1. confused about how to get off the stage
2. confuses APEC with OPEC (The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries)
3. thinks troops from Australia are called Austrian troops
4. (not in video): Bush quickly corrected himself. “APEC summit,” he said forcefully, joking that Howard had invited him to the OPEC summit next year (for the record, an impossibility, since neither Australia nor the U.S. are OPEC members).
Also: the official text released by the White House switched “Austrian” to “Australian.”
Rev. Welton Gaddy, host of “State of Belief” on Air America Radio and the President of the Interfaith Alliance, joins the panel for a discussion of CNN’s documentary series “God’s Warriors” by Christiane Amanpour on Islam, Christianity and Judaism. The other members of the panel are Asma Hasan, Steve Emerson and Dan Abrams.
A conservative group called “Freedom’s Watch” is making a 15 million dollar ad buy to get misleading propagandistic ads on the air in 20 states. The ads falsely conflate the Iraq war with 9/11 in subtle visual ways. They’re meant to confuse the American public into supporting Bush’s failing “surge” policy. And who is the point man for this conservative pro-war group? None other than Bush’s former press secretary, Ari Fleischer.
Is George W. Bush the most optimistic or one of the most delusional presidents? David Shuster, Ken Walsh from U.S. News & World Report and A.B. Stoddard from The Hill debate.
Chris Matthews: Is the White House going to pull a Lucy again? With the football trick, all over again? For months President Bush has been asking us to wait for a report from General Petraeus. How many times have we heard that phrase? “Wait for the report from General Petraeus.” Now we learn that the White House is going to write that report - the White House - and that the General will testify publicly before Congress only after the report’s been written by Bush’s people. Is this a sign of something we’ve seen before, is the Bush Administration going to politicize that critical September report instead of letting the General deliver a full and honest raw assessment to the American people? It looks like it. Also tonight on our political headlines, wise words from a strange mouth, wait til you catch this — in 1994 Dick Cheney of all people said going into Baghdad would be a bad idea.
