In theory, the part with it not applying to private business isn't that bad, but it does ignore that there are some places where racism is a part of life, and that it says it's ok for one dick to infringe on other's liberty based on petty bs like the color of ones skin. Also those newletters don't really help Ron out on the racist stuff, especially since he was going around pimping them out, plus if there's a newletter being printed in my name, I would sure the hell make sure to read the fucking shit, so I know no bs is being printed in my name, and put a stop to the crap. With the newsletters, he's either a racist, or he's incompetent.

I think he admitted to reviewing them so racist
The newsletters not only bear his name, but he reviewed and signed off on every single one, which means he implicitly endorses their bigoted statements. Some Paulbots argue that the Ron Paul Freedom Report was written and edited by a ghost writer, not Paul himself. However, if that's the case then it would still only prove Paul's incompetence. From reading the newsletters, it's very clear that the group he was trying to rally was angry white racists.
Well, hey, if you absolutely hated any minority races, you'd probably be gunning for policies that made it so you didn't have to treat them like people either.
Paul's obsession with the "free market" basically stems from the fact that white males dominate businesses and not wanting to let anyone he deems a "lesser" get to an equal position of power. Of course, there are the unfortunate few that believe it is really for the best, as well as those corrupt asses that just want more of the pie.
Paul's been trying to change his tune about the "free market" lately. Don't get me wrong, he still supports it, but now instead of peddling racism, he's peddling conspiracy theories about the Federal Reserve. He thinks that the Fed should be abolished and that the United States should switch back their currency to the gold standard. He seems to have forgotten the reasons why we established the Fed and switched off the gold standard in the first place.
I like the idea of free markets but only as long as there are sufficient laws in place to protect the rights of consumers, provided that those laws do not lead to a case where the government thinks it knows better than you and acts accordingly, leaves burdens on its taxpayers (who are usually lower- or middle-class, due to tax cuts for the rich), or is influenced by lobbyists (which lets some powerful corporations use the law to hurt small businesses and other competitors).
