Ron Paul's racist support base finally exposed by the media

It's doubtful that this will be of decisive importance in the Republican primaries. However, this sort of coverage will likely go a long way in alienating many of Paul's [misguided] liberal/centrist supporters, should he decide to run on a third party ticket in 2012.

every libertarian of the american type is an eugenicist on the closet...

I know because i used to be one of them.

LOL You don't speak for me when you say white people Mr Black!

Anyone else think he looks kinda like a dangerous pedophile?

He and his son look like pedophiles. (So does Ron Paul, for that matter.)

They're eugenicists only insofar as ridiculous concepts like euthanizing the unemployed is concerned; they don't actually care about improving the genetic endowment of populations. Little do they realize how problematic any eugenic program would be for the functioning of capitalism.

HAHA His son and that goofy hat he is always wearing never fails to make me laugh. I'm amazed at the type of people that claim to support "white people".

I think what gets me laughing even more though his David Duke and Don Black and their little wife swap ordeal!

I mean blaming someone's failure because of a wrong set of genes.... and to give their racism some sort of scientific validity.

AND THEY ARE ALL SOCIALLY DARWINIAN TO THE CORE

Jesus dude you're right. Just give them some trenchcoats and a white windowless van, that is, assuming they don't already have those.

Ron Paul supporters are so delusional that no matter what he does they'll still think that the sun shines out of his ass.

I have unfortunately had to debate with a Ron Paul supporter who was under the impression that people who were gifted with superior intelligence (I assume from this he believes in superior genetics in general) are the only ones worthy of receiving a decent paycheck. Also that the poor are responsible for their own situation, no exceptions. Never mind that perhaps they were born with a disability...it doesn't matter. They deserve to rot! Because that's just how it is, buddy!

Let's just fix what will help US! Not EVERYONE! Let's not ask ourselves what we could do to help others, or seek out what is REALLY wrong, but instead aid ourselves and just turn a blind eye to the rest! After all, why do they matter? They aren't as smart as we are! They aren't x, y, or z!

Is there anyone else here that thinks Ron Paul would actually be the best candidate? Yes, he is a ultra-capitalist BUT he wants to get rid of the federal reserve and is apposed to American imperialism. At least he is not a crony capitalist liberal or "Christian" Zionist imperialist.

He may not be an imperialist, but his opposition to the American military presence around the world is completely economic in nature—he contends that our nation is "bankrupt" and therefore cannot currently afford to engage in military ventures abroad. His sole ethical objection to imperialism stems from his general opposition to federal income taxes, which he considers to be "unconstitutional," morally unjust, and economically harmful (all of which is inaccurate, incidentally).

He wants to replace the Federal Reserve with an entirely private (i.e., unregulated) banking industry, and tie our currency to the gold standard. As much as I despise the Federal Reserve system, I detest Paul's alternative far more. As for crony capitalism, he does oppose corporate welfare, but he opposes basically every regulation labor has struggled for to make economic life somewhat more bearable under capitalism (e.g., unemployment insurance, Social Security, trade unions, food stamps, and so forth) just as forcefully. In short, his economic proposals would destroy the economy and cause countless people to suffer in the process.

I have also wondered about this Paul character's anti-imperialist stance. With the donations he takes from corporations (I believe Apple and Nike were among them) is he really going to remove foreign military presence anywhere when he is expected to protect these company's capital abroad?

What's with lil' Derek and the preacher-man hat? Somebody doing a Children of the Corn remake?

Anyway, I personally believe Paul to be a reactionary bigot, but, for the sake of argument, let's say the racist writings with his name attached to them where done without his knowledge or consent. How can a man that can't even control his own publications be fit to serve as a head of state?

I think he's better than any of the other major candidates, but nowhere near ideal.
