Nonsense. Paul's supporters are ordinary Americans. Just folks out in the heartland who are sick and tired of the same-old same-old.
I cannot verify the quote you provided, if you have a link that would be great.
I would have much more respect for Paul if he returned donations from white supremacists, and personally comdemned his nazi supporters. Paul has done interviews with Alex Jones, who is a proponent of anti-american conspiracy theories with no factual basis.
Ron Paul is not a conservative. As far as the war on terror, his position is farther to the left than Hillary Clinton. His statement that ‘we have been bombing Iraq for 10 years’ as a reason for 9/11 is ignorant and blatantly false.
Ordinary Americans do not associate with 9/11 "truth" brigade and the other associates of Paul cearly outlined here.
Mona Charen is as usual spot on with her analysis and in her conservative response to the liberals spamming her e-mail inbox.
There are lots of things that aren't the "same old, same old." That doesn't make them good or practical.
You mean “ordinary Americans” like David Duke, who refers to Ron Paul as “our king”? take a look at Duke’s website and you can follow the links contained under the heading, “Support Ron Paul’s Nov. 11th Fund-Raiser”. Just another “ordinary American”.

How about those “ordinary Americans”?

KKK ordinary Americans?
“One of Ron Paul’s top internet organizers in Tennessee is a neo-Nazi leader named Will Williams (aka ‘White Will’). Williams was the southern coordinator for William Pierce’s National Alliance Party, the largest neo-Nazi party in the U.S.” Reported by Adam Holland on his Blog and re-reported in The American thinker.

Another announcement of a KKK meeting... “ordinary Americans”? And along with that announcement you can follow the link to the Ron Paul website.
“On the white-supremacist Vanguard News Network, Williams links to Paul’s “grassroots” fundraising site and organizes other racists to “game You Tube” to advance a specific Ron Paul video to the top of You Tube’s rankings. Writes Williams, “Everybody here can do this, except bjb w/his niggerberry.” Holland points out, “BJB” stands for “burn Jew burn”. BJB’s internet signature is, “Nothing says lovin’ like a Jew in the oven.”
These are some of the “ordinary Americans” supporting Ron Paul. Why? And why is his campaign issuing what can only be described as embarrassingly lame resonses to the support of avoid racists such as these “ordinary Americans”?
On You Tube, you may view a video in which Ron Paul is endorsed by Hutton Gibson, a leading Holocaust denier and father of controversial actor and director Mel Gibson.
And of course Paul is supported by another “ordinary American”, none other than Patrick J Buchanan...
These are serious questions that don’t seem to elicit a serious response either from you, or from Paul’s campaign.
