In any conversation that begins with framing Ron Paul as a principled libertarian who we can trust to have positions unbesmirched by the normal far-right talking points, we would do well to remember that he ran a deeply racist and homophobic newsletter for over two decades[1].

I'm not saying that he deserved to be banned from YouTube, since I have no idea what he (or others using his brand) put on their website. But I feel it's important to note that Ron Paul (and his son) have spent the better part of the last 30 years attempting to launder their reputations away from their reactionary roots.
