The word "racism" appears once in that article, here:



It's implicit at every turn, come on. When you randomly bring up Lysander Spooner to say he condemned the Civil War as an act of blatant militarism it's solely for the purpose of painting a racist picture.

Look, I won't say you're lying or being deliberately misleading. I think you're seeing what you want to see. Here's what the article actually says about Lysander Spooner:

quote:

tucked into Mr. Paul’s lengthy monologue — its 76,000 words would fill a 300-page manuscript — was another narrative, told in a sprinkling of obscure references. He cited . . . the theories of Lysander Spooner, a Massachusetts abolitionist who turned against the North in the Civil War, which he deplored as unjust aggression against the Confederacy


So the article introduces Spooner by describing him accurately as an abolitionist who opposed the war against the South as unjust. What are you complaining about again?
