    Not even close to showing they had the same kind of relationship that Obama had with the terrorist, Ayers. Somehow you liberals excuse that, but can't get over that Paul took a photo with a racist. It doesn't make one a racist...or does it? I guess maybe it does, if that's what you're saying. Therefore, Obama must be a terrorist. Hmm.. I think I'm going to let you win this one.

    You've convinced me. YOU WIN!! Obama is a terrorist.

    Finally you get it.
    Guilt by association is stupid, no matter who does it.

    Famous Man walks into a Bar... Two Neo Nazis know the Man. They proceed to ask for a Photo of themselves with the Famous Man. Famous Man agrees and is now labeled a Racist.

    Do you have any more evidence to submit or are you going to go by one picture of himself being in a Public location?

    I think you suffer from bitter old man syndrome and have to rehash old news to comfort yourself in some way because of Ron Paul's publicity.

    Seriously? This is no different than people discrediting Obama for the opinions of Rev. Wright. 300 million people in America, and everyone has shaken hands with someone who is shady. The more you are in the public spectrum, the more of those types you will meet. Not to mention, everything is perspective. I think globalists, especially central bankers, are the scum of the earth. Modern pharaohs. Whether Paul is pseudo-opposition, as some are starting to believe, he at least, as far as the controlled media is concerned, doesn't like them. All the neo-nazis in America today are incapable of hurting America or its citizens as much as 10 minutes of 1 central banker's time. You people need to get your priorities straight. As long as neonazis are working to send campaign contributions and not out beating up a black person, good for them. Central bankers are destroying our nation. Devaluing the labor and wealth of every man, woman, and child from sun up to sun down.

    Black is a campaign contributor. He is not a chance meeting at a bar.


    "Dear Congressman Paul:


    Your Presidential campaign has drawn the enthusiastic support of an imposing collection of Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, Holocaust Deniers, 9/11 "Truthers" and other paranoid and discredited conspiracists.


    Do you welcome- or repudiate - the support of such factions?


    More specifically, your columns have been featured for several years in the American Free Press -a publication of the nation's leading Holocaust Denier and anti-Semitic agitator, Willis Carto. His book club even recommends works that glorify the Nazi SS, and glowingly describe the "comforts and amenities" provided for inmates of Auschwitz.


    Have your columns appeared in the American Free Press with your knowledge and approval?


    As a Presidential candidate, will you now disassociate yourself, clearly and publicly, from the poisonous propaganda promoted in such publications?


    As a guest on my syndicated radio show, you answered my questions directly and fearlessly.
    Will you now answer these pressing questions, and eliminate all associations between your campaign and some of the most loathsome fringe groups in American society?


    Along with my listeners (and many of your own supporters), I eagerly await your response.


    Respectfully, Michael Medved"


    When Michael Medved is questioning this stuff, who's left?
    Paul as yet has not responded to Medved's open letter.

    It's not just association when you KNOW your friend has carried out a terrorist plot against your country and you kick off your campaign at his HOUSE.

    Glad you admit Ron Pauls association does not make him a racist, though.

    I entered this thread saying the issue was irrelevant. He won't get near the nomination anyway.

    You're right. He's bringing out new reasons not to vote for him, and the polls are reflecting just that.

    Totally. I guess you have someone else in mind as to who you want to win the Nomination?

    Than why bother discussing "Republican" topics on the Nomination when any of the picks doesn't matter to you to begin with? It's not as if I'm going to get anything discussing with you on that matter at all.

    you have no clue what you're talking about, i'm as happy as a lark and i love history as well as current events


    "Old News"? "Rehashed for Over a Decade"?

    Matt Welch | January 11, 2008

    In Ron Paul's statement responding to The New Republic's story about his old newsletters, he said the following:

    "The quotations in The New Republic article are not mine and do not represent what I believe or have ever believed. I have never uttered such words and denounce such small-minded thoughts."

    "This story is old news and has been rehashed for over a decade."

    "When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time, a newsletter was published under my name that I did not edit. Several writers contributed to the product. For over a decade, I have publically taken moral responsibility for not paying closer attention to what went out under my name."

    Has Paul really disassociated himself from, and "taken moral responsibility" for, these "Ron Paul" newsletters "for over a decade"? If he has, that history has not been recorded by the Nexis database, as best as I can reckon.

    Do you see one that can corner your support?
    The fact I don't support one of them doesn't mean I don't have anything to contribute to the discussion.
    Logical disconnect.

    No. What makes you think so?

    The knock on racially segregated groups has always been that skin color in immutable.

    Belief in God or accepting Jesus Christ as the Son of God is up to the individual to decide or not as they choose.

    Are you just looking for excuses to attack Ron Paul and cover up for Obama?

    You took it from the stance of "I don't care at all" in my opinion so how am I suppose to debate with you if you clearly don't care? :p

    So Obama is demonstrably a racist by his actions and Ron Paul is not.

    Because what you are asking me was not the topic of this thread. It's irrelevant to the discussion.
    Start a thread. I'll ignore it.
