Isn't there enough to complain about Paul's policies (i.e. oblivious to the threats from Iran) without descending into the old leftist tactic of accusing your opponents of being a "racist"?

I remember Al Gore's supporters saying the exact same garbage about George Bush when this same Don Black endorsed GWB...the racism charge is a dirty tactic best left to the Obama supporters

The difference is
1. GHWB disavoud Black’s endorsement.
2. This is more than just Black saying he likes Paul, the claim is he regularly lunches with them.
3. Bush didn’t have years racist and antisemitic writings he has to explain.

No, a much closer analogy would be 1992 when the Republicans ran David Duke out of their party when he tried to sneak in.

The difference is when the shoes are a perfect fit they need to be worn.
