10 Mind-Blowingly Offensive Quotes From Ron Paul Newsletters

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul used to publish a libertarian newsletter in the ’80s and ’90s. They were not, shall we say, sane. From those newsletters, here are some racist/homophobic/anti-semitic musings on everything from AIDS to Hate Whitey Day (aka Martin Luther King Jr. Day).

Sarah Palin Adviser Speaks in Tongues

Kansas City preacher Lou Engle breaks into tongues at a Los Angeles Christian conference. Engle supports Uganda’s “kill the gays” bill, has advised Sarah Palin and is a scat man (as in improv singing, not the thing that’s antithetical to his support of the Ugandan legislation). View List ›
