In January 2008, during Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign, James Kirchick of The New Republic uncovered a collection of Ron Paul newsletters that contained "decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews, and gays."{{cite magazine |title=TNR Exclusive: A Collection of Ron Paul's Most Incendiary Newsletters |magazine=The New Republic |date=December 23, 2011 |url=https://newrepublic.com/article/politics/98883/ron-paul-incendiary-newsletters-exclusive |access-date=2012-01-13 |archive-date=2015-11-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151105123622/http://www.newrepublic.com/article/politics/98883/ron-paul-incendiary-newsletters-exclusive |url-status=live }} For instance, one issue approved of the slogan "Sodomy = Death" and said homosexuals suffering from HIV/AIDS "enjoy the pity and attention that comes with being sick".

Most of the articles contained no bylines. Numerous sources alleged that Rockwell had ghostwritten the controversial newsletters;Jim Rutenberg and Serge F.

Rockwell admitted to Kirchick that he was "involved in the promotion" of the newsletters and wrote the subscription letters but denied ghostwriting the articles. He said there were "seven or eight freelancers involved at various stages" of the newsletter's history and indicated another individual who had "left in unfortunate circumstances" and "is now long gone", but whom he did not identify, was in charge of editing and publishing the newsletters.{{cite magazine |last=Kirchick |first=James |url=https://newrepublic.com/blog/the-plank/who-wrote-ron-pauls-newsletters |title=Who Wrote Ron Paul's Newsletters? |magazine=New Republic |date=10 January 2008 |access-date=2013-04-30 |archive-date=2013-05-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130505081611/http://www.newrepublic.com/blog/the-plank/who-wrote-ron-pauls-newsletters |url-status=live }} Rockwell has described discussion of the newsletters scandal as "hysterical smears aimed at political enemies."{{cite web |last=Rockwell |first=Llewellyn |date=January 8, 2008 |title=The New 'Republic' |url=http://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/the-new-republic/ |work=LewRockwell.com |access-date=August 12, 2023 |archive-date=August 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230812080003/https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/the-new-republic/ |url-status=live }} Ron Paul himself repudiated the newsletters' content and said he was not involved in the daily operations of the newsletters or saw much of their content until years later. In 2011, Paul's spokesperson Jesse Benton said that Paul had "taken moral responsibility because they appeared under his name and slipped through under his watch".Jackie Kucinich, [http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2011-12-21/ron-paul-racist-newsletters/52147878/1 Paul's story changes on racial comments] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200825101726/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2011-12-21/ron-paul-racist-newsletters/52147878/1 |date=2020-08-25 }}, USA TODAY, December 21, 2011.

{{Further|Mises Institute}}

In 1982, Rockwell founded the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, and is chairman of the board.[https://www.mises.org/about.aspx About the Mises Institute page] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120202063910/http://mises.org/about.aspx |date=2012-02-02 }} at [http://mises.org Ludwig von Mises Institute] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090319003723/http://mises.org/ |date=2009-03-19 }} website.

The Mises Institute published Rockwell's Speaking of Liberty, an anthology of editorials which were originally published on his website, along with transcripts from some of his speaking engagements. The institute hosted conferences on secession; Rockwell wrote before a 1995 conference, "We'll explore what causes [secession] and how to promote it."

{{Further|Paleolibertarianism}}

Rothbard, Rockwell and others described their views as paleolibertarian to describe their cultural conservatism fused with their otherwise anti-statist beliefs.{{Cite book |last=Hawley |first=George |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/925410917 |title=Right-wing critics of American conservatism |date=2016 |publisher=University Press of Kansas |isbn=978-0-7006-2193-4 |location=Lawrence |pages=164–171 |oclc=925410917}}Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. "The Case for Paleo-libertarianism" in Liberty magazine, January 1990, 34–38. They forged a "paleo alliance" between paleolibertarians and paleoconservatives in the form of the John Randolph Club in 1989, which allied the Mises Institute and the paleoconservative Rockford Institute.{{Cite journal |last1=Olsen |first1=Niklas |last2=Slobodian |first2=Quinn |date=April 2022 |title=Locating Ludwig von Mises: Introduction |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/855166 |journal=Journal of the History of Ideas |language=en |volume=83 |issue=2 |pages=257–267 |doi=10.1353/jhi.2022.0012 |issn=1086-3222 |pmid=35603613 |s2cid=248987154 |access-date=2023-10-09 |archive-date=2022-05-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531140710/https://muse.jhu.edu/article/855166 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription }}

In a 2007 interview, Rockwell revealed he no longer considered himself a "paleolibertarian" and was "happy with the term libertarian." He explained "the term paleolibertarian became confused because of its association with paleoconservative, so it came to mean some sort of socially conservative libertarian, which wasn't the point at all..."Kenny Johnsson, [http://archive.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/liberal-post-interview.html Do You Consider Yourself a Libertarian?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190804094434/https://www.lewrockwell.com/2007/05/lew-rockwell/do-you-consider-yourself-a-libertarian/ |date=2019-08-04 }}, interview with Lew Rockwell, May 25, 2007.

Rockwell's paleolibertarian ideology, like Rothbard's in his later years, combines a right-libertarian theory of anarcho-capitalism based on natural rights with the cultural conservative values and concerns of paleoconservatism, and he identifies strongly with the modern Rothbardian tradition of Austrian economics. In politics, he advocates federalist or Anti-Federalist policies as means to achieve increasing degrees of freedom from central government and secession for the same political decentralist reasons. Rockwell has called environmentalism "an ideology as pitiless and Messianic as Marxism."Rockwell, L. H., Jr. (1990). "An anti-environmentalist manifesto." From The Right, Quarterly II, 1(6), 1.
