The poster of this thread merely posted an article posted on the web. Your fight is with James Kirchick, not mnehrling or anyone here at FR.
Also, the Ron Paul quote you included in no way addressed the issues of this article. It merely highlights Ron Paul's assertion that he represents true Republicanism. The issue of racism is not addressed, thus your use of this text is worthless as a refutation.
No matter how much you mince words, the purpose of this post, as well as the article itself, was to disparage Dr. Paul by associating him with racism. As for my post in regard to his Republican ideals, it is as apropos here as it is anywhere his name and reputation are unfairly under attack.
