Secretary: Ron Paul Personally Proofed Controversial Newsletters 
-----------------------------------------------------------------



Republican Presidential hopeful Ron Paul is facing new scrutiny over
articles that appeared in his newsletters in the 1980s and 1990s that
have been described as racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic. Paul's
campaign has claimed the Texas Congressman did not write, approve of or
see the offensive material. But the Washington Post has interviewed two
former Paul aides who claim they witnessed Paul proofing the newsletter
before it was published. Paul's secretary Renae Hathway said: “It was
his newsletter, and it was under his name, so he always got to see the
final product. He would proof it.”
