There are far more weighty questions to ask canidates:
I'd like to ask Giuliani about his company based in Dubai and it's connection to the Emir of Qatar who's friend is the 911 planner and who told the Emir that the FBI was closing in on his hiding place at the Emir's farm?
I'd like to ask Romney about his company who is a defense contractor and has a chinese partner?
I'd like to ask Hillary about her connections to the NAU?
I'd like to ask Obama about his campain contributers?
Lot's of important questions to ask, why fuss over a $500 dollar donation.
We could ask canidates about the contributions they got of $10,000 and above, might be more important. Could answer who expects a return on their investments. Or the number could be $100,000 and show who really controlls the country.
Ron Pauls donors have been averaging $100-200 he answered the question and believes that a $500 dollar donation from a supporter, no matter what his personal beliefs will still be use by Ron Paul to win the election will allow him to effect policy and return our freedom to believe as we wish an express our views with out government persecusion.

If Ron Paul should not be diluting the work of neo-nazis by taking their money, then why is the US diluting the efforts of terrorists by taking their oil??

Christoph, why not consider the tried and true methods of empirical data collection and inductive logic. One black sheep does justify the conclusion that all sheep are black. If you study Paul's positions and his 20 year voting record in Congress, you will find nothing to support your lone observation. Your kind of comments reflect nothing more than opinionated blathering that serves only to convince you that you know what you are talking about. Give it a rest and do some serious research with an open mind, if possible, instead of one that has snapped shut like a bear trap.

Again the press is NOT really covering the Ron Paul support that is going on.

You have got to be kidding me. The Captain (and LGF's) is taking tips from the SPLC's site called 'HATEWATCH: Unmasking the Radical Right,' from a piece calling Buchanan a 'white nationalist' and calling the Taft Club where Paul spoke an 'extremist group.' Yes, an 'extremist group' who has also had 'extreme' likes of James Pinkerton, John Derbyshire, and Michael Tanner come speak there.

Ah, it gets better. Now we're taking news tips from the American National Socialist Party!? I'm sure that you always take what they say as gospel. That vanguard of truth justice and the American way. Even Dr. Paul's critics must acknowledge that he is the absolute antithesis of a socialist.

The donation issue is debatable; a legitimate case could be made either way. But by regurgitating this other nonsense shows that your anti-Paul bias has blinded you from objective thought.

Peace be with you.

He will lose voters. Is $500.00 worth it, I think not.

I see no reason to get all up in arms over this.
If you want to dig into past things, look at what happened when Wilson was put in office. HE was put in or should I say some saw it fit to buy him in so they could start the mess with this nations money. The next order of his "people" was that he took us off the gold standard. It has been a down hill slid with money since. In fact if you watched "Bush" today you may have caught his words on "the paper" and what it is really worth. IF you were paying attention. Just a the end of the press briefing he made a statement I hope you heard it. If what I think he was implying the Five hundred will not be worth much by the end of winter. I will wait and see.

I have read every comment posted. Amazing how deep the PC mentality has pervaded the American thought process and I find it alarming. A donation is a donation, regardless of where it comes from.

I thought Ron Paul was inconsequential as a candidate until I read these posts. Now I plan to seek more information on his positions. Although I'm a registered Democrat, I may be a convert.

I am with him on this one. I do not think he should give it back. So what Black supports Paul and chose to donate to him? It is a free world. Paul is not a white supremacist and he does not promote that kind of thinking or agenda. You can't blame Paul for having Black support him. And you say that with him raising 6million he can afford to loose the $500, think again. Just look at the money Clinton and Obama have compared to Paul, he needs every penny he can get. Just because someone believes a certain thing or has a certain job does not mean they cannot vote or be apart of this democracy. Black voiced his opinon by donating to Paul and Paul should keep the money. He has made it clear he is against what Black stands for, but him giving the money back or donating it elsewhere will not stop Blacks support. Also, you could look at the Peter Paul deal with Clinton. She didn't give the money back to him, nor did she report it on her campaign finance report. I will take someone who is honest over a lier any day of the week.

Paul's decision in this matter highlights exactly why he is appealing to people: he does not make decisions as a pandering poltician but instead as a logical person.

Paul's been battling the media throughout this race. He has no reason to return the money because it makes no "statement" about him except what the media tint gives it. This donation happened weeks ago, but it's getting much more coverage now that Ron Paul had a huge record breaking fundraising day.

That's saying something: people are genuinely starting to see Ron Paul's success and are trying to break it with any criticism they can cling to.

I'm not sure what's worse accepting a donation from a racist or from a corperation like the other candidates...but then again is there really a difference. Someone is just trying to dig up stuff on Ron Paul and thats the best they could get. Move on.

JT Friel — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 22:31:15 -0000

I've always questioned the reality in Ron Paul's thinking...his beliefs our out there to say the least. Now there are two points to be made here: 1. Why would Ron Paul think it was just for his campaign to benefit from white supremacist funds? 2. Why are Ron Paul's beliefs in line with those of a white supremacist, enough so to earn a $500 contribution?

Ron Paul is doing the right thing by keeping the money.
I don't care what a persons beliefs are, if they want to support a Ron Paul that is their freedom.
If you were homeless and someone wanted to give you food would you care that the generosity
came from someone that didn't think exactly how you did? Almost all the candidates get donations from special interests. The wonderful thing about Paul's fund raising is that it has been funded by individuals that believe in freedom. The media is going to have to try a lot harder to dig up dirt on Paul, its pathetic childish and just plain stupid. Now if Paul was campaigning at a KKK
rally that would be a different scenario. Ron Paul for 2008! FOX and CNN should be ashamed.

Why is everyone so focused on this, while meanwhile no one seems to care that Hillary Clinton is getting substantial campaign contributions from China. Also, I can't imagine a bunch of white supremacists would choose a Thai restaurant to meet at!

Last time I checked the white Supremacist still have a right to be heard and a right to vote. Most of us do not agree with them but hey, these days I would trust a Supremacist before I would trust my fellow republicans. (Ron Paul is an exception....I will vote for him).

Who cares what it LOOKS like...He's said over and over again that he does not approve of the source and that it is their loss. Actually, it makes a lot of sense...if he were to give it back it would the same as funding a white supremist. He's doing a very logical thing.

As all libertarians are painfully aware, the political universe of collectives – left and right – are filled with control freaks. They insist that they have better uses for your money than you do. And they get quite self-righteous when you disagree.

Tellingly, some of Dr. Paul’s critics suggested that the NAACP is a more worthy recipient than his campaign. Consider the irony. The NAACP, like David Duke, believes that black Americans require racial preferences (they use the euphemism “affirmative action”) in order to succeed. The NAACP’s brand of white supremacy is real and clearly harmful.
