The other day Ron Paul stormed out of an interview at CNN when they wanted to ask Paul about racist statements in his newsletter from the 1990s. Now an 1990s ad for his newsletter shows Ron Paul forecast an urban "coming race war" and decried a "federal-homosexual cover-up".
In ad for newsletter, Ron Paul forecast "race war"

(Reuters) - A direct-mail solicitation for Ron Paul's political and investment newsletters two decades ago warned of a "coming race war in our big cities" and of a "federal-homosexual cover-up" to play down the impact of AIDS.
The eight-page letter, which appears to carry Paul's signature at the end, also warns that the U.S. government's redesign of currency to include different colors - a move aimed at thwarting counterfeiters - actually was part of a plot to allow the government to track Americans using the "new money."
That last item comes right out of the realm of the tin foil hats. This sheds an ugly light on the hatreds Paul harbored as the country takes a closer look at the Texas Physician running for President as a Republican on a libertarian platform.
The letter urges readers to subscribe to Paul's newsletters so that he could "tell you how you can save yourself and your family" from an overbearing government.
From the newsletter:

We've seen a lot of financial tyrannies from Washington in this century. This one could take the cake. And popping out of the cake with a big surprise:, will be an I.R.S. Agent with an AK-47!
While muggers, robbers, and rapists run free on the streets, the power of the state will be focused on you.
The new money will steal our freedom and prosperity; it will accelerate the transfer wealth and power from the people to the government, and its friends.
I've been told not to talk, but theses stooges don't scare me. Threats or no threats I've laid bare the coming race war in our big cities. The federal-homosexual cover-up (my training as a Physician helps me see through that one). The bohemian grove--perverted pagan playground of the powerful. Scull & Bones; the demonic fraternity that includes George Bush and leftist Senator John Kerry Congress' Mr. New Money. The Israeli lobby which plays congress like a cheap harmonica. And the Soviet style "smartcard" the Justice Department has in mind for you.
The material in Ron Paul's newsletter is way out there in Tim McVeigh territory.
This shines a light on the dark bigoted paranoid strain that runs through the far rght of the Republican Party. Republicans need to come to grips with this dark side of their party that they routinely deny is a component of their party's coalition.
