Regarding the newsletters, it appears you have been reading many attack articles and neglecting rebuttals (which admittedly are not nearly so well-publicized in mainstream outlets). It isn’t true that Ron Paul has not “even given a theory” about who wrote the newsletters; he did indicate in one CNN interview that he knows the offensive quotes must have been written by one or more of a group of about 6-8 people who were involved in ghostwriting for his newsletters at the time.

With regards to Ron Paul “recommending the newsletters,” many media outlets have been selectively sloppy in reporting some important distinctions, here. There were several newsletters going out in association with the company “Ron Paul & Associates” during the ’80s through early ’90s; the one which featured some offensive content was known as the “Ron Paul Political Report”/”Ron Paul Survival Report.” Certain journalists have gotten hold of footage of Ron Paul endorsing a different newsletter- the “Ron Paul Investment Letter,” a financial advice newsletter with which it seems Ron Paul himself might have had more involvement- and failed to distinguish in their reporting between two separate publications.
