And others can draw the conclusion from this nexus of neo-nazis and truthers that a candidate presents a danger to the centrist, freeom-loving, body politic.

“And others can draw the conclusion from this nexus of neo-nazis and truthers that a candidate presents a danger to the centrist, freeom-loving, body politic.”

Take a population (say the US),and you are going to have a wide range of views in the individual vote-sheep. I guess it is like a bell curve, though I bet a surprising number of people’s views would resemble fascism if they were given a detailed political philosophy inventory (sort of an MMPI for political views), and a surprising number would come out far more libertarian than the body politic represents.

At any rate, you are going to have small fringe groups that openly identify themselves outside of the mainstream accepted views. This can be racism, marxism, and any number of other ism’s almost none of use would like to subscribe to.

As far as I can tell, Paul is the only candidate whose philosophy is ‘I don’t care what you think or believe, if you mind your own business and don’t break the law/hurt anybody.’ Nevermind that the worldview of many of these fringe donors is actually contrary to Paul’s own philosophy - if they are stupid enough to send him money, he will take it.

Note that I am not saying all of his contributors meet that description, as you know well individual candidates don’t see who sends contributions and you can take ANY major candidate’s donor list and find people convicted of any number of crimes who are donating. That is a gotcha game.
