I read it the way you wrote it. If that is not what you meant then learn to write what you mean. Or at least stand up for your positions and don't backtrack.

Clearly the people who criticize Paul are the equivalent of racists. After all he is a modern day Martin Luther King.

Why did you come to a Dallas Mavericks forum to whine about Ron Paul?? There are better places on the internet for political debate (unless we're planning on trading Lamar Odom for Ron Paul?)
I mean, I get that we have a political section on this forum so that this stuff doesn't spill out into Mavs talk, but you haven't posted ANYTHING about the Mavs in a long time - you're missing out on much more relevant conversation (it's kinda like bitching about the dinner rolls while a perfectly good steak is getting cold next to them!)
Just my two cents - but by all means, please feel free to carry on with your futile effort of convincing people who don't agree with you to agree with you...

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I do this for fun. However, it is interesting you singled me out - the only anti-Paul guy on this thread. Why is that?

Because, unlike everybody else in this thread, you have nothing to say about the Dallas Mavericks on a Dallas Mavericks forum.
Oh, and f*ck Ron Paul... So there's that.

Being that I already clarified my original post just for you, and the fact that you choose to now stick with your originally incorrect interpretation, I guess there's not much to say. Keep chocking up those red boxes, it suits you well. I have to spread some rep and then I'll be back to help you again.
