Ron Paul Keeps Racist's Money. Good for Him.

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is planning on keeping a contribution from a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, according to a campaign spokesman.
Good for him.

That's money that will not be available for nefarious purposes that will now be used to promote liberty.

Good for him.

He refuses to pander and bow to the "politically correct," choosing instead to stand on principle.

Good for him.

As friend Russ Howard and I have been asking since this became an issue: Let me get this straight--you want him to give money to Nazis? And for the record, I gave this exact advice to his Arizona & Utah campaign coordinator in a telephone conversation a few weeks back.

Dr. Paul explains this and other positions in detail in his interview with Glenn Beck, that allows him more than the sound bite relegated by the rest of the Establishment media. When all you have is a few seconds, it's easy to take your statements out of context and portray you as a loon, as opposed to when you actually have time to answer the questions...

For now, that interview video is available on Beck's main page, and the transcript is here.

make a nice anti-racist ad and tack on "partially paid for by racist assholes. Thanks you dolts."

Ron Paul should go on the offensive, criticize the other candidates for giving money back to scumbags. His hypocritical opponents only return money when a donation is talked about in the media. When the Clintons keep donations from criminals, kleptocrats and communists for pardons, political favors, etc., they do so not because they want to deprive communists and criminals of money, but because they sympathize with communists and criminals and want to service these "constituents".
