Reports that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul stormed out of a CNN interview earlier this week seem to be dramatically over-exaggerated. Raw footage of the Thursday interview shows that it lasted nearly ten minutes, which is not unusually brief on the campaign trail.
After discussing foreign policy, the payroll tax, negative advertisements, and super fund PACs, the interview concluded with three whole minutes of discussion on the issue of the incendiary racist and homophobic letters that were published in Mr Paul's name in the Eighties and Nineties.
Initial news reports made it seem that Mr Paul recited his one line response- that he didn't write the letters, that he didn't read them until about a decade after they were published, and that he disavows them- and stormed off, tossing away his microphone and charging out.
The newly-released CNN footage shows something entirely different. After fielding repeated questions about the controversial newsletters, Mr Paul began wrapping up the interview.
We have to wait for the British press to give us the real news about our country...

Answering a question Paul seemed to want to avoid:
A tax document from June 1993—wrapping up the year in which the Political Report had published the "welfare checks" comment on the L.A. riots—reported an annual income of $940,000 for Ron Paul & Associates, listing four employees in Texas (Paul's family and Rockwell) and seven more employees around the country. If Paul didn't know who was writing his newsletters, he knew they were a crucial source of income and a successful tool for building his fundraising base for a political comeback.

He stated he was running a medical practice, "I have to make a living."
And $940K is NOT a lot of money- not when you have to pay Lew Rockwell (who probably didn't come cheap, as he's very good at what he does), and seven other employees, plus costs of publishing and distribution...
The bottom line is really simple: you've got nothing to attack him on, so you losers are getting desperate.

Yep, this is what the simpleton left doesn't understand -- revenue versus earnings. If he was paying 8 people, most of that $940K was eaten up in salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, workers compensation taxes, unemployment insurance, etc.
I'm so tired of these no-nothing numskulls, who have never taken an accounting class, blathering on about business. They have no qualifications, no grounding, no frame of reference to do so.

Indeed.
But the idiots think that because they can flap their lips and make words, that the words have merit. Yet, when the words are based on nothing but supposition, hot air and dull ignorance, they have no merit.
In short, they don't know how much they don't know... And that, my friend, is a very dangerous thing.
