Austin NAACP President Nelson Linder, who has known Ron Paul for 20 years, unequivocally dismissed charges that the Congressman was a racist in light of recent smear attempts, and said the reason for him being attacked was that he was a threat to the establishment.

Linder joined Alex Jones for two segments on his KLBJ Sunday show this evening, during which he commented on the controversy created by media hit pieces that attempted to tarnish Paul as a racist by making him culpable for decades old newsletter articles written by other people.

"Knowing Ron Paul's intent, I think he is trying to improve this country but I think also, when you talk about the Constitution and you constantly criticize the federal government versus state I think a lot of folks are going to misconstrue that....so I think it's very easy for folks who want to to take his position out of context and that's what I'm hearing," said Linder.

"Knowing Ron Paul and having talked to him, I think he's a very fair guy I just think that a lot of folks do not understand the Libertarian platform," he added.

Asked directly if Ron Paul was a racist, Linder responded "No I don't," adding that he had heard Ron Paul speak out about police repression of black communities and mandatory minimum sentences on many occasions.

Dr. Paul has also publicly praised Martin Luther King as his hero on many occasions spanning back 20 years.

"I've read Ron Paul's whole philosophy, I also understand what he's saying from a political standpoint and why people are attacking him," said Linder.

"If you scare the folks that have the money, they're going to attack you and they're going to take it out of context," he added.

"What he's saying is really really threatening the powers that be and that's what they fear," concluded the NAACP President

thank god!!!!! i am emailing this to EVERYONE I know!!!!

And we care what the NAACP says exactly why?

And we care what the NAACP says exactly why?

Because unfortunately, people take their cues from generalities and don't do a whole lot of research. Alot of people are headline readers, their attention spans akin to goldfish, thus, you get, "Well I heard he was a racist.", and if that article clears Ron Paul's name, then they need to hear it.

Don't say people say Sheepies and guess what they are not cute

Sheeple sheeple sheeple sheeple sheeple sheeple sheeple sheeple sheeple sheeple sheeple

I wonder why the bible refers to people or the masses as sheep ... I guess its because 90% of them can't think for themselves ... Remember the saying curiosity killed the cat? Well it must have been a sheeple that came up with that statement. I spend alot of time in a small community meaning a boat holding like 70 people. Out of 70 men one I mean one is concerned about the race the rest sit around fuming at the mouth over the NO saints. Oh my god I think I would have to kill myself if I had to watch that 24-7. The people even think its funny and constantly come up and ask me how Dr. Paul is doing. I think I have made some head way with 4 people but the rest just don't care.
