Paul keeps white supremacist donation

By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer Wed Dec 19, 4:27 PM ET

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has received a $500 campaign donation from a white supremacist, and the Texas congressman doesn't plan to return it, an aide said Wednesday.

Don Black, of West Palm Beach, recently made the donation, according to campaign filings. He runs a Web site called Stormfront with the motto, "White Pride World Wide." The site welcomes postings to the "Stormfront White Nationalist Community."


"Dr. Paul stands for freedom, peace, prosperity and inalienable rights. If someone with small ideologies happens to contribute money to Ron, thinking he can influence Ron in any way, he's wasted his money," Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said. "Ron is going to take the money and try to spread the message of freedom."

I figured as much. Something about Ron Paul smelled of white supremicist or ties thereto.

Well before you go all Ron Paul is a White supremacist on us, whoops, maybe I'm too late, you might want to go peruse Stormfront.orgs forums to see what they actually think of Ron Paul.

I know opposition research from other candidates, and media outlets starved for stories are trying to play this up to be a big deal, but frankly, it ain't. Ron Paul couldn't give two lazy turds about these people or their beliefs, and their support for him is marginal at best.

But I guess it's fun to create controversy where little or none exists.

this has been around for awhile, I don't know why the press hasn't given it any attention....probably because they don't think he has a chance in hell.

When you've been a nonconformist living in Utah as long as I have you start to know the look, sound and smell of a white supremist, even if they're only "just a little" white supremist.

They probably don't want to be accuse of accusing someone with racism without a Ron Paul quote going with it.

If you mean those who know well the original ideology of their religion as opposed to those who've no idea [i.e. racist, be-a-god-of-your-own-world, etc.]?

I strongly disagree.

If support from the Ku Klux Klan is marginal, it is only because the Ku Klux Klan itself is marginal.

But, respectfully, I think that support from the Ku Klux Klan IS controversial.
