This is another painful reminder of what’s wrong with Run Paul; it’s like seeing Obama at the Reverend Wright’s Church, or knowing that Senator Byrd was once a Grand Kleagle in the KKK. Decent people don’t associate with anti-Semites and racists. Obama failed that test. Paul has failed that test. Ronald Reagan did not. He never accepted any support from these vile sorts.
I agree completely, in my mind that disqualifies both of them from high office. Many of us on FR knew that 4 years ago, and exposed it. Regarding both of them. For some, like freedom fighters and terrorists, one mans bigot is another mans hero. IMO a fundamental lack of morality underlys that position. A common flaw that the world has seen before many times.

There is a Gigantic different between Obama and Byrds active association & support of theses people and Paul’s resieving of support from folk.
Good and Bad people agree on many if not most things, even when they agree for different reasons. Indeed it is the logical singularity of libertarianism that attracts support from all sides. Why? Simply put it allows everyone the prospect of doing more of what they want free of Big central Goverment.
Communist like it when they don’t win because they can then experiment in communism. Anarchist like it for the same reason, people from every strip that don’t necessarily conform to the uniformity that Goverment attempts to impose upon us all.
It is thus to be expected that among the supporters of big goverment will be those that disagree most with the opinions of the majority who define the same uniform code imposed by that goverment upon all.
