Now, would you speak out, and turn against your own preferred candidate (no need to mention who you support, your business, not mine), if the 'troofers' supported him?

If said candidate refused to repudiate and distance him/herself from them? Absolutely. When Reagan heard the Birchers were supporting him, he simply stated, "They may support me, but that doesn't mean I support them."

A simple statement which speaks volumes. Why won't L. Ron do the same? Answer: He **DOES** share their views, otherwise he would have disassociated himself from them and returned said contributions long ago. He would have told Stormfront to take down the Ron Paul logo and threatened legal action were they to keep it up. He's done none of these things.

BTW - Here's HALEY BARBOUR speaking with the racist Council of Conservative Citizens and JOHN ASHCROFT speaking with the white supremacist Southern Partisan magazine. Both Barbour & Ashcroft served in some capacity in the GOP and Bush administration, respectively.

FYI, the Paul for President campaign did in fact return the campaign contribution of one Alex Jones. He also did in fact repudiate the views of the '9/11 "troofers"'

He would have told Stormfront to take down the Ron Paul logo and threatened legal action were they to keep it up. He's done none of these things.

Yeah, and get his name associated with those assholes in a case that he might loose? You must think the man to be a moron, as is evident from your L. Ron comments.

It is quite obvious that you're hardly an objective observer. Frankly i doubt that any action taken by Ron Paul, or the Ron Paul for President campaign would be sufficient for you or your ilk.

Better the tact taken by Tom Tancredo, who laughed off the fact that he was endoursed by one David Duke.

Of course, some of you want to give publicity to an unknown nobody such as one Willis Carto, because Paul has not repudiated his endoursement of his campaign...when like most of America, Paul probably has no knowledge of Willis Carto or what he stands for. Until this came to light, i had no knowledge of Willis Carto.

Nice try, but as is evident from the campaign contributions, and Paul's numbers at rallys, America doesn't care what a bunch of unknown, racist assholes might or might not think.
