I don't have the context, so I don't know how to interpret it.
EDIT: Sensing that I was being a pain in the ass, I googled it to see if I could find the context. :) I didn't, but I found Ron Paul's response when he was asked about it:
When I ask him why, he pauses for a moment, then says, "I could never say this in the campaign, but those words weren't really written by me. It wasn't my language at all. Other people help me with my newsletter as I travel around. I think the one on Barbara Jordan was the saddest thing, because Barbara and I served together and actually she was a delightful lady." Paul says that item ended up there because "we wanted to do something on affirmative action, and it ended up in the newsletter and became personalized. I never personalize anything."
