Anyone who’s actually read the infamous Ron Paul newsletters knows how dishonest the Crazy Uncle is being here: Ron Paul Downplays Newsletters : Only ‘Eight To Ten Sentences’ Were Offensive.

Ron Paul on Thursday downplayed the fringe aspects of his old newsletters, saying on an Iowa radio program that the most offensive passages were probably only a small portion of the overall content.

“There were many times I did not edit the entire letter and other things were put in,” he told a caller on the Jan Mickelson radio show. “I was not aware of the details until many years later. These were sentences that were put in, eight or 10 sentences. It wasn’t a reflection of my views at all. It got in the letter and I thought it was terrible.”
