He didn’t vet each and every individual contributor?? Can any other candidate say they did the same?

Now if you can say for sure that he knew and understood who they were, that it was intended for influence, or that it was a sizable amount, that argument might hold merit. But as it is, thats a pretty pathetic argument. Otherwise, any guy with radical beliefs could donate $20 to all of the candidates (except Mitt Romney of course) and shoot down the whole field. Is that what you want? Besides that, even dirtbags are still allowed to donate to candidates that they like for whatever reason. Its the American way. We don’t exclude those who have beliefs we don’t agree with.

Perhaps we should think about average contribution size and where they came from. Ron Paul’s contribution sizes are small and from the grassroots. They are tiny by everyone elses standards. That is because the other candidates are taking money from K street lobbyists who expect something for their donations. Which is more dangerous? A $20 dollar donation from a Stormfront member, or a million from a healthcare lobbyist?

If you were receiving contributions today, wouldn't a check from a man named "Fred Phelps" with a Kansas address set off the warning bells? And if it didn't but months later it was pointed out to you, wouldn't you return it?

RuPaul kept the Stormfront money.
