Re: Should Ron Paul Accept Money From "White Supremacists" ??

There is nothing about Ron Paul that is racist, it's just that he talks about freedom in a very pure and simple way, and it's bound to attract lots of different kinds of people. Ron Paul is about the only candidate who actually has a cross-section of every kind of American donating to his campaign.

In the end, it is to the peril of the donor. If Paul were to win and none of his policies were racist, than the racist needs to consider whether they'd be better off throwing their money down the toilet.
If he accepts money from racists, then the appearance that he supports them, or accepts their views as valid, will be very real.

Whether it's accurate or not won't matter.

Americans won't vote for someone like that...
