Paul keeps Supremicist's Donation

Has Ron Paul taken money and favors from Nazis or is Bill White trying to make himself look a lot more important and well connected than he really is? Hmm...

[Wil H]

Bill White, Commander American National Socialist Workers Party

Everyone has been brainwashed over time to think that Naziism is a right wing ideology - it's not.

The Nazis are National Socialists.

Brace yourselves, the Paul Qaeda are coming...

The politics of personal destruction continue.

Anything to prevent real change and keep the corruption going.

If you looked at the donations made to any candidate, I’m positive you’d find some unscrupulous donaters. Does that mean they’re in cahoots?

Lighten up Frances

I don’t know. But if McCain, Huckabee or Romney took money from a neo-nazi, or spoke to a neo-nazi meeting, they’d have plenty of ‘splainin’ to do.

Paul is a white nationalist of the Stormfront type who has always kept his racial views and his views about world Judaism quiet because of his political position.

No Ron Paul fan here, but I find this very difficult to believe. In today's media world this would have come out a long time ago.

[wideawake]

While I doubt that Ron Paul is committed to White's ideology, it is clear that Joe Sobran and Jared Taylor are and the late Sam Francis was.

What is obvious is that Paul has cultivated relationships with individuals in this movement over the years and has built up their hopes that he would openly sympathize with them.

Ron Paul has done the same thing with the 9/11 Truthers - he has appeared on Alex Jones' show several times and made some very ambiguous statements about 9/11 and its background that has built up the hopes of Truthers that he would openly sympathize with them.

Paul knows that members of the weird fringes of US society have as much disposable income as the average normal American, and he fills a vacuum for them.

Ron Paul is the candidate of almost every nutbar organization in the US - from anarchists to neo-Nazis to goldbugs to tax protestors to pacifists - because he dabbles in the rhetoric of each of these groups without ever making an explicit commitment to the cause.

That is a very damning indicator of his character.

[counterpunch]

It does come out, in most everything he says. You don’t have to read too deep between the lines to see it.

[cripplecreek]

I agree that Paul is no white supremacist but it appears that he isn’t immune to the corrupting influence of power. He’s figured out that no comment is too far over the line that his followers won’t repeat it without thought.

[wideawake]

This is Bill White projecting his intransigent views on Paul.

Joe Sobran and Jared Taylor operate on the "respectable" level of such organizations - they are very carefully never to explictly couch things in terms of race. They also move in circles with which Paul is comfortable.

Sobran's newsletter and Taylor's American Renaissance periodical are always very carefully worded and professionally written to preserve that veneer, while White's organization is unapologetically militant.

It's a very multilayered little world.

[jrooney]

It is really strange how the most ardent deniers of the continual articles coming out from reputable organizations and different writers always post something like “not a fan of Ron Paul”, “I do not like Paul but”, etc. I think those that claim that do support him and are trying to quell anyone believing the continual ties being reported.

The Nazis are National Socialists.

at least in europe nazis are extreme right wingers. (this does not mean that every right wing party is viewed as nazi party). maybe it´s different in the US i don´t know. but if you would tell a european that a (left wing party is nazi because NSDAP contains the word socialist he/she would probably laughing his arse off.

[wideawake]

The answer is: both.

[wideawake]

As a known harsh critic of Paul on FR, I can independently vouch for Borges that he actually is not a fan of Ron Paul.

[Thorin]

>>>>>>That is a very damning indicator of his character.

No, it's not. What is a damning indicator of a lack of character is engaging in guilt by association, claiming that meeting with a person or talking with a person means agreement on all issues, and then demanding rituaulized apology and self-abasement from anyone found to have deviated from political correctness.

American public discourse used to be free and robust. Now, it is cowardly and conformist.

[jrooney]

Okay wideawake, I trust your opinion.

[Borges]

Thanks for rising to my defense. I am indeed not a fan. Well I like some of his early work but he lost me when he sold out his punk roots and released that dance pop album.

The European definition of "right wing" is different from the American definition.

Most people who are considered "right wing" in Europe are either considered a mixture of left wing and crazy by Americans.

All socialism - National or otherwise - is necessarily left wing to Americans, because advocacy of the free market is a non-negotiable aspect of the American right.

Trust and empower the govermnent to protect you from poverty and/or desease vs trust empower the government to protect you from military enemies. The end result is the same, an empowered government and a powerless people.
