I'm not sure about money but w spoke at Bob Jones University during the 2000 campaign. And at the time that "university" had a rule against interracial dating. So you are right w has also consorted with racist assholes.

When did you conservative hacks get so bent out of shape about personal freedom? Doesn't a racist, doesn't anyone have the right to donate to any candidate of their choosing?

Ken Lay and Enron donated to Bush, so what's your point?

I swear you people are living in the McCarthy era all over again. It's embarassing. Wake up. Think. Stop the witchhunting on everybody. You can't even believe in what you believe in in America anymore. While the neo-cons worry about socialism, America has become a fascist regime where independent thinking is no longer tolerated.

I'm sure lots of shaddy people give money to every candidate. If we nitpicked we could accuse them all. It still doesn't change anything. A candidate stands for what they stand for and if someone who doesn't represent those ideas gives them money, it's the donors fault.
Certainly everyone has a right to contribute to political campaigns. And everyone also has the right to judge a candidate based on the people he takes money from or otherwise consorts with. Of course if we really did that none of them would last more than one term.
