Is Ron Paul a Racist? Being a True Civil Libertarian and a Racist Doesn't Work.

There is some controversy about whether or not Ron Paul is a racist. Most of this controversy is derived from some article comments that were written using his name in some newsletters he published. Ron Paul claims these were comments from ghost writers and he wasn't aware of them before they were published. As professing libertarian, he has strongly argued that he is NOT a racist, saying, "True libertarians are incapable of being a racist because racism is a collectivist idea - you see people in groups. Civil libertarians see everybody as an important individual." Besides these select comments, everything Ron Paul stands for is the complete opposite of racism, so I'm inclined to believe him. However, instead of trying to convince you of my position, I'll let you watch this somewhat random collection of video clips and let you make up your own mind.
