If you care: Who ghost-wrote Ron Paul's newsletter rants?

From my friends at Where HipHop and Libertarianism Meet, a consolidation of the reports on who wrote what at the Ron Paul nutty newsletter factory.

The article has some credibility as it is sourced to Eric Dondero, a former Paulist disciple who no longer supports Dr. No, but who--it has always seemed to me--has been very careful not to trash him gratuitously.

Although I don't think for a second this all absolves Paul from the responsibility for the material printed under his name, it should surprise NO ONE that Lew Rockwell appears to have been the source for racially oriented material.

Does not absolve him at all. I am upset with him for not putting this crap to rest when it came out.

Been getting phone calls today about how "silly" RP looked last night. Did you see it?

I forgot to mention this in my post but The Economist's blog Democracy in America assumed it was Lew Rockwell too...
