You were one of the folks backing Paul in the “Stormfront photo op thread.” I pinged some people from both sides who posted in it. Apologies if that was impolite.

Something which you did not seem to get, so I will reiterate it once more, in hopes that you might understand.

I was not backing Paul, nor Stormfront, but the principle that any American citizen has the right to contribute to a campaign and to accept contributions, so long as there is no quid pro quo involved.

Furthermore, I attempted to make the point that a group backing a candidate doesn not mean the candidate backs the group, to wit: they can endorse him, without his accepting their donation meaning he endorses them.

For example, conservatives backed Bush (that lesser of evils crap again), and for that we got expanded government, the great Israel giveaway, no border control, no child left behind, numerous attempts at illegal alien amnesty, and a host of other crap. It is safe to say that he did not back us. The one notable exception to that was not an issue in play when he was first elected.

That basic principle, too seemed lost on you.

I am a Duncan Hunter supporter, not a Ron Paul supporter. I weary of repeating that fact for the dense or illiterate.

To say the least, I found the "Springtime for Hitler and Germany..." comment an odd ping, unless you were trying to imply that those you pinged were supportive of or members of the Nazis. Kindly do not pull that sh*t with me again. I am not now, nor have I ever been a sympathizer, supporter, nor a member of any Nazi organization, and the depths with which I resent that implication cannot be adequately expressed in a format which excludes profanity.
