[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 920017, member: 1246"] Friday, December 30, 2011 @ 11:53 pm [B]|[/B] Worry about the country and jobs and the economy..........!! Ron Paul Circus Turns Three Ring: Sheila Jackson Lee Demands He Apologize for Racist Statements or Leave the Race Theatre of the Absurd. [INDENT](Chron.com) — Among the racially charged newsletters published under Ron Paul’s name, one example is particularly odious to Houston Democrats. One of the newsletter articles described Rep. Barbara Jordan, a Houston Democrat revered in the civil rights community, as “the archetypal half-educated victimologist, yet her race and sex protect her from criticism.” The story was covered extensively by the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News in 1996, when Paul sought to reclaim a seat in Congress, and 2007, when Paul was running for the Republican presidential nomination. But the newsletters did not receive significant media attention until last week, when the Texas congressman took the lead in theIowa presidential caucuses. Today, the woman who represents the Houston congressional district long represented by Jordan demanded an apology. “Ron Paul cannot continue to pursue the position of the presidency of the United States of America without formally apologizing and discussing his true positions regarding these newsletter writings,” Jackson Lee said in a statement. Jackson Lee likened Paul’s situation to then-candidate Barack Obama’s predicament when controversial statements by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, threatened to derail the Chicago Democrat’s 2009 presidential campaign. Obama “gave a landmark speech on race to explain his views on race and the history of race in America,” Jackson Lee said. “Mr. Paul should do the same.” [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
