"See, I love minorities! I even touch them!"2008 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has been mired in a controversy surrounding bigoted statements made in a newsletter distributed under his name. However, a lesser-known controversy involves the Ron Paul blimp (no, not Alex Jones).
Dr. Paul's supporters have dubbed his candidacy the "Ron Paul REVOLution", reversing the letters EVOL to form the word "love", a reference to the years when Dr. Paul practised his love with women as an OB/GYN. They have also raised millions of dollars through "money bombs", in which Paul backers all dip into their pot funds to donate to his campaign over the course of one day.
Unfortunately for the Texas Congressman, his supporters' latest endeavour, a large blimp with the messages "Who is Ron Paul?" and "Google Ron Paul" written on the side. has come under scrutiny thanks to the more "colourful" language found on the dastardly dirigible.
Indeed, politically-incorrect slogans such as: "There are no chinks in Dr. Paul's plan... or Dr. Paul's America"; "No suffrage for Negroes"; and "Wie können wir lösen die Jüdenfrage?" have appeared on the side of the blimp, which is white.
Dr. Paul's supporters have brushed off objections to the blimp by donating an estimated $867 jillion dollars to the campaign, a fund-raising record and a numerical impossibility. On his Web site, Dr. Paul's followers have left messages of support including: "They say that Barack Obama is a champion of change, but Dr. Paul is just so much more pure"; "Everyone I know supports you Dr. Paul, as do most of the voices in my head"; and "9/11 was an inside job."
It is not yet confirmed whether Dr. Paul intends to continue to allow the blimp to represent him, but upon hearing that there was such an uproar over the offensive messages, Dr. Paul immediately contacted Stormfront and apologised to their membership for any suffering they may have endured as a result of the ordeal.
