Ron Paul accepts political donation from "Stormfront White Nationalist Community"
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."

"And that's $500 less that this guy has to do whatever it is that he does," Benton added.

"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be." - Ron Paul

"Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal." - Ron Paul

2. In reality of the situation.. $500.00 isn't going to buy all that much persuasion.
Its not exactly like he's taking millions from corporate donors like certain candidates... However, I'm not exactly sure what his point is other than he can't afford to give back anything he gets in. Not very smart in my opinion.. He's really working against himself.

4. He took in $6 million in one day earlier this week
and a single $500 donation will render all of that moot.

Ron Paul is a batshit insane racist and anyone voting for him must also like the taste of paste.

5. I know a lot of people who switched parties to vote for Paul...
Then again, its Florida.. people down here are bat-shit crazy. And the democrats don't get a single delegate this year, yet you'd never know it by the e-mails being sent out saying our voice will be heard with our full delegation vote... spurred on by Nelson.. asshole, prick.. Actually, he did send me an e-mail and said he had written the FISA without immunity for telecom... However, I didn't see him use any backbone and help filibuster it.. so, I'll have to snap off something snazy telling him once again he's a spineless tool.. Seriously, the man could do just about anything.. People in FL don't pay that much attention to their reps.. they're too busy getting ripped off by all Jebby's ole' schemes he put in place over the 8yrs he was in office

6. But, but, but--(choose your favorite excuse PaulBearers use to
excuse his blatant racism):

"It was taken out of context."
"One of his supporters wrote that, he didn't"--as if that excuses anything.
"At least he's completely, utterly sincere in saying what he thinks, unlike other politicians."
Funny how we can criticize other politicians for saying such crap but not the "good" doctor.

Cue the spamming Paulbearers--and watch how closely their responses echo what I've posted. :eyes:

8. I wish I could remember what DUer came up with that to give them credit.
I thought it was perfect--they put plenty of effort into looking sincere while carrying the weight of a (possibly un-)dead weight around.

9. I bet at least 15 percent of his support comes from members of these white power groups.
He isnt gonna return the check because far more is at stake than just 500 bucks. This should tell you all you need to know about ron paul

10. "Dr. Paul stands for freedom, peace, prosperity and inalienable rights."
I wonder what "inalienable rights" the Stormfront is concerned with?

11. This ain't about the $500. He knows that returning that check
would be a slap in the face to a huge portion of his base.

14. His favorite kind of donor! Paul is a racist. I assume most of his donors are too.
I'm not surprised in the least. Racists love each other.
