It Takes Many Wards to Make an Asylum
Maybe this will help support my efforts to talk one of you off the Ron Paul ledge. The favorite candidate of “truthers” and other conspiracy theorists the mainsteam won’t embrace is also the favorite of white supremacists and neo-Nazis. Andrew Walden lays it all out in meticulous detail. Call it guilt by association if you will, but weeks after the questions were raised, Paul isn’t refusing their money or blocking those donate links from white supremacist sites.
I’ll save you the trouble of giving any of those sites a page view. Here’s a screenshot of a live link — one of several — on a Stormfront chatroom. All that I saw were pasted in by site members, although the Paul site appears not to have blocked the IP, either. At a certain point, you have to assume this means that Ron Paul welcomes their contributions.
Here’s one from David Duke’s White Civil Rights blog, trying to raise money for Ron Paul. This one was put in by someone with administrative rights to post on Duke’s blog:
You have to wonder what kind of asylum can hold pacificists, isolationists, and avowed white supremacists and expect them to eat in the same cafeteria, cutlery and all. Or what of themselves all of these inmates see in this guy, besides the fact that he alone finds nothing especially repellent about them, either.
Has it ever been this hard to distinguish far left from far right?
