You apparently do not realize that Dr. Paul believes that freedom is for everyone, regardless of what they believe in. He has said that he does not endorse their viewpoints and that they should use their freedom wisely, but he's not going to tell people what to do. Wow. Imagine that. Finally, a politician who'll leave you alone.
It doesn’t matter how much he personally associates with them, they associate with him and there is a reason. They see a candidate who helps their lunitic causes. You are judged by the company you keep.
Those who support Paul don't care. We know that Paul isn't a racist kook or is in bed with white supremacists. This issue is being fabricated by people who have a vested interest in maintaining the status-quo. It is also being hashed to death by people who aren't going to support Paul anyway. You want Paul to have his "Macaca" moment and break down like George Allen did and it just ain't happening. If he apologized profusely, you'd still say he was a racist nut. So why should he even bother?
Again, you don’t get it. Take you and I personally out of the discussion and step back and think. Even take Paul’s ideology out of the discussion.
American voters see the large proportion of offensive and wacko people enthusiastically promoting a candidate. They see that candidate’s signs along with the anti-war, anti-Bush and anti-American signs in protests. That turns off average, normal, work-a-day Americans. I know my first look at a Paulbearer gave me a “what the heck was that nut all about” thought.
Paul’s views have attracted the offensive fringe. The offensive fringe shadowing him is catching the eye of mainstream America and they are repulsed by that. The guy peaked when he was an unknown with a “revolution”. As he and his retinue become visible, he is being rejected. His cult may continue to push him along. Mainstream America rejects him.
That's not the issue. I too believe in freedom for everyone regardless of what they believe in, but if there was a group of Nazis in town endorsing me as a great human being and fantastic candidate, I wouldn't just sit there and grin about it.
