Ron Paul tweets incredibly racist and anti-semitic image
- Thread starter Goodstyle
- Start date
I mean, kind of. Ron Paul clearly does not tweet. He likely has no idea what is posted on his account by his staff.
Of course, he is still a racist and his staff is clearly racist as well. It was not a "mistake." It was what him and his staff/supporters believe.
Really shows how 4chan's creativity and sense of humor are indistinguishable from that of your racist old uncle on facebook.
They're all images commonly pasted into new vitriolic and racist memes on places like reddit and 4chan.
Is the Jewish character from that cartoon the same image as this one...
Ben Garrison's original cartoon was modified by 4chan to include the racist caricatures.
I'm not racist, I just employ racists and have them handle my social media without me approving them.
Checks out.
Hahahayeah right, like this wasn't Ronny himself going off the reservation.
Oh, interesting... apparently it's an ongoing thing where somebody on 4chan or pol or wherever takes his cartoons and edits them so they "go further". Garrison made this image himself:
... to demonstrate. Although these and other examples sure seem to me like the "vandal" is just taking the original implication and making it more explicit most of the time.
Although in this case, The original wasn't really by him either. They just put his name on it. Still, bottom line: fuck Ben Garrison AND Ron Paul.

During my college days I was in a Libertarian phase as well. What an entitled ass I was.
It wasn't him who posted, it was a staff member. What I wanna know is how they will be disciplined, if at all.
It clearly wasn't. That doesn't make him less of a racist as he happily employees racists as well.
But Ron Paul ain't tweeting.
I remember when I used to stan this guy (and then fell headfirst into the pit of Ayn Rand's Objectivism for a few years).
Anyone who uses the term Cultural Marxism is telling you they believe in racist Nazi thought. The Nazis invented it (though it was called Cultural Bolshevism then). What's pathetic is that when Hitler wrote of it, it was in the exact manner of a racist troll on 4chan or pol trying to own the libs. I mean, if not for some dated historical details, you think it was a direct lift. Not much changes, really.
Came to post this. I'm not sure why people are surprised by this.
Even if you don't directly condone that cartoon, probably a good idea to ask why you employ staffers who think that's a good idea.
Better yet, kept a closer eye on stuff that carries your name
I was going to post something similar. Promoting Cultural Marxism as anything other than Nazi propaganda is an even bigger issue than the stupid racist cartoon.
Same excuse as with his newsletter, he was "unaware" that the people he's hiring are massive racist douchebags.
Goes to show I know almost nothing about Ron Paul. He always seemed kinda coocoo, but had some legitimately good policy beliefs, under all the utter garbage. That racist stuff is terrible.
I think this tweet was on accident, though. I didn't see what was racist about it for a bit. For some reason, my mind wasn't registering the faces. The dude who runs his Twitter knows not to post stuff like that, even if he believes it (which he does). He doesn't deserve the sympathy, though. It's a picture he would have liked it he could get away with it.

"Ooops I used to publish a racist newsletter", "Ooops I don't post on social media but someone posted something racist using my account", "Ooops I'm racist."
Well now that he's "aware", what is he doing about it?
(Read: nothing)
