Ron Paul Circus Turns Three Ring: Sheila Jackson Lee Demands He Apologize for Racist Statements or Leave the Race
Theatre of the Absurd.
(Chron.com) — Among the racially charged newsletters published under Ron Paul’s name, one example is particularly odious to Houston Democrats.
One of the newsletter articles described Rep. Barbara Jordan, a Houston Democrat revered in the civil rights community, as “the archetypal half-educated victimologist, yet her race and sex protect her from criticism.”
The story was covered extensively by the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News in 1996, when Paul sought to reclaim a seat in Congress, and 2007, when Paul was running for the Republican presidential nomination. But the newsletters did not receive significant media attention until last week, when the Texas congressman took the lead in theIowa presidential caucuses.
Today, the woman who represents the Houston congressional district long represented by Jordan demanded an apology.
“Ron Paul cannot continue to pursue the position of the presidency of the United States of America without formally apologizing and discussing his true positions regarding these newsletter writings,” Jackson Lee said in a statement.
Jackson Lee likened Paul’s situation to then-candidate Barack Obama’s predicament when controversial statements by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, threatened to derail the Chicago Democrat’s 2009 presidential campaign.
Obama “gave a landmark speech on race to explain his views on race and the history of race in America,” Jackson Lee said. “Mr. Paul should do the same.”
The passage about Jordan was just one of many racially tinged writings in Paul’s newsletters. In the midst of the District of Columbia’s crack cocaine epidemic of the ’80s, Paul wrote that “I think we can assume that 95 percent of the black men in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.” And he warned about urban youth: “the animals are coming.”
Paul’s campaign chairman, Jesse Benton, told us earlier this week that the newsletters were written by a ghostwriter in Paul’s name, but he admitted that Paul “should have better policed it.”
“Dr. Paul has assumed responsibility, apologized for his lack of oversight and disavowed the offensive material,” said Benton.

Heh. Never thought I’d agree with Wrong Paul on anything. Just shows to go ya…
OK, tire hat skank vs. true reality…
…loserville!!!
Hey Shemale, I mean Sheila – hide your damn nostrils!
whut? Did he insult the retarded?
She’s just jealous Paul is doing the same shit the CBC has been doing for years.
the same Genius that asked if Apollo landed on Mars. Nuff said
When I learned she is on a congressional space committee and thought we had astronauts land on Mars that confirmed to me that she is dumb as a stump. Dumber, actually.
Freak show
They are orchestrating Symphony of the Damned.
They will ride this like a rabbid dog humping a leg.
Get ready Ron I hope you can deflect this assault. Question is, did you write that stuff?
Small taste of what Kim Jung Bho’s opponent will face once the Republican convention selects his opponent.
I can’t get past those teeth. She could maul someone w/those things.
I don’t give a rats ass anymore…about offending anyone…about mulikulti…about mooslimes…about obozo…about libtards…about conservturds…about the man with 2 first names…about the negress sheila…about the country going broke…about the EU goining broke…about being broke…about being out of work…when my house is foreclosed upon…I am simply going to burm the MF to the goround and hit the road…I ust don’t give a rats ass anymore…
I have a lot of respect for Barbara Jordan, she never played the victim card.
As for Sheila Jackson Lee, what a victim & race card using idiot.
This is now the second time I’ve agreed with Ron Paul
“as “the archetypal half-educated victimologist, yet her race and sex protect her from criticism”; this does not describe Jordan, but it does describe Lee and the other professional race baiters in this country and the congress.
The lesson here is that people don’t have to be intelligent, eloquent, sensible and statesmanlike to become federal politicians.
Wasn’t she voted ‘the most hateful bitch in Washington’ just not too long ago?
Well, I’m sorry, but this woman really does look like a Cape Buffalo. I’d bet the buffaloes are smarter than she is. Is that racist? Are Cape Buffaloes offended?
I apologize to the buffaloes.
Dumb and ugly is no way to go through life, Shelia.
That Black gorilla face isn’t that far from living in the jungle
Hey girl , apologize to the human race or get out of congrees
does anyone recall even one line from that “landmark speech” ? …………… bueller ??
ahem…

Shiela Jackson Jefferson Washington Franklin Lee doesn’t just play the race card, she had it laminated and carries it around her neck like a talisman
Tell her to GO TAKE A HIKE
STHU Lee…get the hell out of our faces and our lives!
Take a hike on Shrillary’s broomstick and invade spaces far, far away!
Sheila Jackson Lee…
Is about to get…
Paularized.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rv0Z5SNrF4 Please watch this asssss should be well you say it .
Tell her to appoligise for the L.A. RIOTS where we saw those african savages drag that truck driver out of his truck and beat and kick him All those who took part in beating the truck driver ended up in prison
Isn’t it interesting how the articles by Paul have been ignored for years and the dems and MSM suddenly discover them ? Kinda like Cain’s red hot love life and Newt’s 1st wife drama.
All old news that magically appears at the right moment and all very personal -not political .
Paul seems to have them all kakaling….
Hi ya Debbie…
Like the say…’Politics is a Blood Sport’…and we’re seeing it from both sides of the aisle.
Pass the popcorn and be ready to vote for Mittens…Rove is smiling, as well as many on this side of the aisle are too.
They have killed, some ate their own…now we’re down to O VS Mitt.
…boring, sad, sickening and same ol’ …same ol’.
Ignore her and carry on. She represents a heavily black district. They won’t vote for anybody else but Obama. The same for any other black politico who wants to complain about this. A good portion of non-black America already knows she’s completely wacky and more than a little stupid. Besides, there’s no way to appease people like her, and the worst thing he could do would be to apologize.
It will also be great if ignoring her pisses her off.
Now, if he’ll just stay away from that fruit loop Cynthia McKinney!
LOL a democrat demanding a pseudo republican leave the race….. hilarity at its best.
Shut up Sheila, yours nostrils are showing!!!
Leave the race? I o not really believe the black people want to include him in the black race. Do you think the Hispanics or Orientals would want him. She had best leave well enough alone and just let him be white.
Bowling ball nose needs to shut her racist CBC ass up.
If anyone should be saying sorry to Americans it should be the racist group CBC.
Does anyone know why NASA let this test subject out of her cage ??
should she not be looking for the American Flag planted on Mar’s ??
I would think that would take up all the evil bitches time, considering she THINKS she one of the brightest stars in Congress.
Stupid Bitch.
@beforethestorm.
She use to represent a heavy black area, but the Illegals have pushed the blacks out. Sheila could be on her last fat leg.. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
The only problem I foresee is another racist from La Raza taking her place.
Hey sheeta , so what , obama’s landmark speech on race in America nothing but bullshit lies .
It seems silly that someone should demand an apology for a person exercising his free speech rights 35 or 40 years ago. But these are the same shrill, shrieking buffoons who expect taxpayers today to compensate them for what people who may or may not have been related to us did 200 years ago to people who may or may not have been related to them.
Ron Paul shouldn’t apologize, he should quit the race. How long before Ds use him to represent the face of the GOP? Surprised it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe they like him running that idiotic mouth, sure seems so, or else they are hoping for a victory in Iowa, then the attacks begin.
Save the but but but Hussein did blah blah. Yeah, we know he is double coated with media teflon, does not excuse. Shame on anyone who condones bigotry and nutball conspiracy theories from any candidate. This is the last thing we need attached to the one goal we all share, getting that commie out of the WH.
Egad! Those fearsome tusks…someone call the Lady Hoggers.
Gee… another member of the CBC with a one track, one issue agenda.
I say they should be investigated for failure to represent the entire electorate, and I DEMAND they be disbanded and hung like Christmas ornaments from the tree in front of my house.
Sheila Jackson is not related to Idi Amin.. it’s just an uncanny resemblance.
nonetheless, Sheila and Idi do share a common perspective of similar ideologies
Leave the race – that being white?
Leave the race – that being the Biggest Freak Show on the circuit?
I cannot stand Ron Paul but I cannot stand Aunt Jemima Jackson Lee more!
Those people in D.C. are all nutz!
Diamond Girl:
Can’t you wait until Romneycare faces Obama and says with those big white teeth smiling and saying, “Mr. President, you and I are not enemies, we just have different approaches to government.”
Expect that from Romneycare who will on act on orders from the GOP like last time “Don’t Say Hussein On Orders From McCain During The Campaign” and also from Frank Luntz the Duntz who told the GOP don’t attack Obama, people feel sorry for him.
“The archetypal half-educated victimologist, yet her race and sex protect her from criticism.”
I think Sheila realized that this statement describes not only herself, but Corrine Brown (evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgbBP9Em00A) and most of the rest of the Congressional Black Conference. She’s more concerned about Paul using that statement on her than on Barbara Jordan.
Of course, as an “archetypal” Democrat, Lee glossed over the actual empirically offensive statements in Paul’s newsletters, likely because she agrees with them.
Hey Sheila Jackson Lee
Why don’t you find something important to talk about:
Why blacks are 13% of the population but commit 53% of the murders? Why Detroit and Philly and every major city in the country is broke and in ruins bc of your people. Whats the rate of black kids born out of wedlock? How many black fathers actually stay home and raise their kids? Flash mobs?
Maybe its time we the white middle class working Americans start playing the race card. I’m tired of being a modern day slave and working to pay for your peoples lazy asses. I for one am tired of seeing all the “accomplishments” of your people on the news every day. I’m tired of paying to house and feed you.
You and your people had better wake up. How much longer do you think this can go on?
The really scary reality here is that people actually voted to put her racist, evil, corrupt fat ass into Congress. A perfect example of how broken our government and society have become.
Jackson Lee……ESAD already,and take the f’n retards that keep voting for you with you.
“the archetypal half-educated victimologist, yet her race and sex protect her from criticism.”
_______
It probably took Jackass Lee all these years to figure out what the statement meant.
And I find nothing racist about it.
Just as soon as Obama apologizes for his “typical white person” insult from 2008…
Who knew Ron and Barry had so much in common, eh?
This is like a roof rat demanding that a Norway rat apologize for pissing on your Town House Crackers.
This dumbass bitch has no room to talk!
I would liken the ugly, defiled, nasty thing to an animal but I honestly cannot think of an animal for which I would have so little respect. Members of the animal kingdom, excluding humans, are by their very nature pure, innocent and noble. What I can think of is something created by a human – the creature from the Black Lagoon. She probably can’t swim,though.
