*After being shown a detailed list about the racist statements made by Ron Paul and other assorted bigotry coming from him*
I don't care about racism I'm white.
And are these news posts proven and not leftist lies?

Oh sure. Liberals hate Republicans so much that they made up a ton of lies painting him as racist, not to mention made him make racist comments in public. I guess they're the ones responsible for publishing Ron Paul's newsletter, too. This idea of "Someone published a bunch of racist comments under my name for 10 years without my knowledge" sounds pretty dodgy and extremely hard to believe.
OK, here's the deal, a**hole.
In 1996, when it came to light that a number of Paul's newsletters contained some real flaming racist material, Paul didn't deny writing them; rather, he defended them and said that the material had been taken out of context. Then, in later years, Paul said that the racist stuff had been ghostwritten by members of his staff and that he wasn't aware of the contents of the controversial articles until years after they had been published.
However, Eric Dondero, a former long-term aide of Paul, stated that Paul was lying about his role in the production of the controversial newsletters. During the 2012 Republican presidential primary campaign, in January 2012, the Washington Post reported that several of Paul's former associates said that Paul had been very involved in the production of the newsletters and had allowed the controversial material to be included as part of a deliberate strategy to boost profits. Paul's former secretary said, "It was his newsletter, and it was under his name, so he always got to see the final product. He would proof it."
So, either:
* He doesn't care about racism so long as he's making a buck; or
* he is a racist; or
* he's a liar.
Your choice.
I'm sorry, but I think we can call Poe on this one. Vlissingen is a city in the Dutch province of Zeeland (the one that New Zealand is named after). I sincerely doubt that any inhabitant of The Netherlands would be this invested in Ron Paul. I've never met anyone that is, even while studying political sciences. Most people don't even know who Ron Paul is.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
