Who is Ron Paul, and why is he consistently able to raise millions of dollars for his presidential campaign in a day?

Good questions, both. The trouble is that as you start to answer the first, the second becomes even more of a mystery.

Kos uncovers this gem from “The Ron Paul Political Report” from 1992:

Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action…. Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the “criminal justice system,” I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.

If similar in-depth studies were conducted in other major cities, who doubts that similar results would be produced? We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, but it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.

So that’s who Ron Paul is.

Can we safely assume that 95% of the people who contributed $6 million to Ron Paul’s campaign on December 16 (or $19 million this quarter) are nuts or maniacs, or both.
