"While I don’t think it was wise of Paul to let them use his likeness on the coins, and he may have received financial remunertion, he wasn’t an official of the company."

It wasn't "wise" of Paul to lend his likeness to counterfeit currency, but he did it anyway.

It wasn't "wise" of Paul to accept campaign contributions funneled through a Nazi website, but he did it anyway.

It wasn't "wise" of Paul to appear on a truther radio show, but he did it anyway.

It wasn't "wise" of Paul to write a column for a white supremacist magazine, but he did it anyway.

At what point do you conclude that either Paul lacks any semblance of common sense, or he's simply comfortable with these crackpots' views? Surely this whole "hey, I had no idea they were crackpots" schtick is starting to wear a bit thin, no?

I’m not familiar with the items you’ve listed. I will say that I am not a Paul fan. At one time I thought he was a sound voice. Today I think of him as a guy who has lost his way. As it relates to the War on Terrorism, I can only judge him to be terribly misguided. He’ll never get a vote from me.

While not conceding, at a minimum I acquiesce to the main point in contention.

Are you telling me that you would not accept diamonds engraved with Ron Paul likeness in exchange for a brand new F-50?

Quite frankly, I believe the entire conversation to be out of your league (you don't know anything about F-50's, gold, silver, collector numismatic/philately, or even foodstamps).

All that you know is based on green-back money, and the idea that you'll deal with it when you get there (and since you'll never get there, you'll never have to deal with it).

Lets talk 'bout asset forfieture laws. Your juvenile (under 18 - for those of you that are lip reading) nephew occupies/frequents your domicile (that's "house" for you lip-readers). Lets suppose your nephew is dealing marijuana based on "product" that he grew unbeknownst to you. THe FedGov can seize your house, vehicle's, bank-accounts (and whatever else they ascertain to be involved in that "criminal" activity).

Now, then, the FedGov decides to let off your nephew becauase of "whatever" reason. Do you get your crap back? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

It wasn't "wise" of Paul to accept campaign contributions funneled through a Nazi website, but he did it anyway.

No, he did not. His campaign accepted a $500 contribution from a man named Don Black which looked totally unobjectionable and without knowledge that Black was a white supremacist (not "Nazi").

It wasn't "wise" of Paul to write a column for a white supremacist magazine, but he did it anyway.

No, he did not. One of Ron Paul's articles was posted on a white supremacist website (congratulations for not repeating the "nazi" error), just as his writings are posted here on FreeRepublic.
