Is an asskicking an asskicking if it only takes place in CDL's dreams?
Fact: David Duke's website has trumpteted the supposed virtues of Ron Paul.
Fact: Ron Paul's campaign has yet to repudiate Duke's words of support.
In light of Ron Paul's vote For the authorisation of force against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan
That vote was back in the days before Ron Paul started running with the Alex Jones crowd. It certainly wouldn't be the first time Ron Paul was caught in an obvious contradiction - in fact the vote you reference is doubly an example of contradiction, since Ron Paul has since repudiated authorizations of force as "unconstitutional."
So, do you also question the patriotism of the head of the CIA bin Laudin desk
I don't need to question it - I already know he is a traitor.
and the 9/11 commission, both of which Paul cited in his response ~among them, a Vietnam war Medal of Honor winner~?
Just because Ron Paul quotes someone out of context in order to further his anti-American agenda doesn't mean the quoted source agrees with that agenda.
And someone's status as a non-posthumous MOH winner doesn't guarantee their patriotism. Benedict Arnold would certainly have received one after Ticonderoga or Saratoga had they existed at the time.
On the one hand you have.
Calvinist_Dark_Lord: the @$$ kicking you took over the supposed "David Duke endoursment" last week
No one has referred to an actual endorsement, but the point has been made that Paul is apparently comfortable with support from all sorts of nutcakes. Leaving aside the truthers, and even places like anti-war, Lew Rockwell, Joe “I’m obsessed with Jews” Sobran, the Constitution Party, and assorted leftists, this is supported by
The racist remarks in an old newsletter written under his name. At the very least an unidentified racist was obviously close enough to be in a position of trust. To my knowledge never identified of fired.
Support for RP by David Duke’s website, Council of Conservative Citizens and Stormfront, including links to “meet-ups” at Stormfront, and support from similar sites.

Radio appearances on Political Cesspool, loosely associated with the CCC. He’s listed above Prussian Blue.
When his campaign was asked about the indicted drug dealer in Canada organizing a support group, they responded that they’ll take support from anywhere.
In the absence of a rejection of their support, there’s more than enough there to establish he’s OK with support from sleazy places. As his campaign indicates.
radioman Uh huh...She was beat up by muggers three times in one year in Houston? If you tell me your wife was beat up by muggers I'll sympathize with you and her. When it gets to the third time I'll suspect her beatings are a little closer to home.
Suddenly the tables turn. With regard to an accusation against a Paul detractor the standards morph. Three assaults, no complaints or witnesses, mean he’s a wife beater. What else could he be?
A clear double standard, but if true it adds wife beaters to potential Paul supporters.
