Slon will now insist that you present your rationale for accepting a bid from someone on eBay without knowing their political persuasion...

Why are you so rough on politicians? Why are you applying your standards to them, but not to yourself? Is your argument the idea that accepting money from someone means you follow their ideas?If I did, it would not make me follow all of Hitler's policies and ideas, which is apparently the standard you want to apply to politicians. Again, why the double standard?

It means that they follow yours. Where am I not applying my standards to myself?????

Why are you deliberately not looking at the political context that I put this argument in? Why do you equate an ebay sale to a political donation?

You might take money from Hitler as a gift or donation - I wouldn't

'nuff said.

Unfortunately, in politics, appearance is everything. What someone says is quickly undone by what they do, especially when the prevailing public attitude towards something is negative.

Of course, Paul is free to accept the donations from white supremists. He’s also free to accept the donations of Nevada brothel owner Dennis Hof:

Hookers For Paul

By doing so, though, it appears as though Ron Paul, by accepting their endorsements, also endorses them. Whether he actually does or not is of no consequence. The appearance that he does is there.

I believe it’s safe to say that most people in this country disagree with white supremacy. Probably fewer, but by no stretch an insignificant number, disagree with legalized prostitution. If he accepts donations from these people, that’s completely fair and legal, but it will also only hurt him in the long run, as the appearance will be that he supports legalized prostitution and white supremacy, and I don’t think that America is ready for a President that would support those things…

And, frankly, Jesus Christ could fall off the cross and give Ron Paul a billion dollars, and Paul still wouldn't get elected.

It doesn't really matter who does and doesn't give Ron Paul money. The guy's got a better chance of having a baby than he does being elected President...

Do all of your financial transactions/acceptances include only people with whom you share all ideas?Why does it apply to one and not the other?So that would make me follow all of Hitler's policies/ideas?

Yet again Slon, what are you getting at here?

Surely even you can understand the difference between a political donation from a known white supremacist source and a tip from a stranger/payment from an ebay buyer?

Why are you choosing to be so obtuse?

Dr Paul has already accepted Don Black's $500 donation, folks. And he ain't grovelling before the jewish Anti-Defamation League who's demanding he give it back.

So get over it.

Dr Paul stands on principle, not on jewish political correctness or orders from the "chosen" ones.

Mark my words, he ain't giving it back.

None of the other candidates would keep the money, though. Why? Simply because if they weren't kosher/jewish approved in the first place, you'd never have even heard of them. Every one of them would sell their daughters into slavery in Zimbabwe for an endorsement by the jewish Anti-Defamation League or the NAACP or the La Raza (The Race).
