Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Ron Paul: Nazi money is good enough for me!

The nutroots’ “Only Man Who Can Save America” went on FNC to defend his decision to keep donations from the vilest of society’s miscreants.  From Allah:

Red herrings galore in response to Cavuto asking why he won’t return the $500 donation he got from Stormfront degenerate Don Black. Answer #1: “It’s probably already been spent.” Fortunately, money is fungible. Answer #2: “I see no purpose for me to start screening everybody who sends me money.” No one’s asking him to screen everybody (although major donors would be nice). The fact of Black’s donation was handed to him on a platter by a third party. If outside agents are willing to screen for you gratis, why not avail yourself? Answer #3: If he gives the money back, that’s $500 Black has back to spend on Nazism. In that case, why not re-gift it to a third party? I hear the Wiesenthal Center does good work. Answer #4: “The real evil” is the military/industrial complex. I’ve heard his supporters float this turd of an excuse before and it never fails to irritate me, not because there isn’t plenty evil about special interests but because it requires them to suddenly become very obtuse about the unique contempt with which racism, especially of the white supremacist variety, is regarded in America. We can argue about whether this or that Pentagon project is necessary for defense or just a lucrative money pit for militarists; not much room for argument on Don Black, though. Taking his money is a way of saying yeah, he’s a pig, but not much more of one than Boeing is, really. And even a pig’s got a right to eat, no? A small legitimization but a legitimization nonetheless.

So why not dump the money, particularly given what a small drop it is in the ocean of dough Paul’s swimming in and how his refusal to do so has extended the shelf life of this otherwise unpleasant but minor story? No idea. 

Dude raises close to $6 million in one day, and he’s got a tough time returning $500 to a neo-Nazi?  Boy, now that is the kind of principle (not to mention money mismanagement) we’ve come to expect from elected officials, huh?

  1. Bravo, Ron Paul. Key to showing commitment to free speech is one’s willingness to defend the vilest of speech from the desire of others to censor it. This event reinforces Ron Paul’s commitment freedom and principal over the changing political standards of the majority.

    The electorate’s ignorance of the constitution and what is really required to secure individual freedom explains why the Fed Government is able to terminate habeas corpus, confiscate property under Ricco laws without prove of a crime, tape a citizens phone and email, the IRS can confiscate property for assumed back taxes, etc all without due process. Does anyone realize that the government’s war on drugs has led to the destruction of many constitutional protections and the incarceration of hundred of thousands of African American men who would otherwise not have a criminal record? And that Ron Paul wants to change this?

    And people are concerned about the racism of a single white supremacist?

    Key to our liberty is freedom of speech and expression, regardless of the content of that speech. We should not worry about the propaganda of soul racist. But it is too late; we have already lost our freedoms.

    Dumbass. No one is suggesting that we censor the neo-Nazis. All I’m saying is that by accepting the cretin’s money, Paul gives a tacit endorsement of said cretin’s views. If the neo-Nazi wants to spout off his racist shiite, I couldn’t give a wet fart on a dry January Monday. But dude’s money wouldn’t be good enough for me. Then again, I’m not a racist Paulnut, either.

    And people are concerned about the racism of a single white supremacist?

    Nope, we’re concerned that said white supremacist has bought access to Paul. And don’t kid yourself, dude: Paul has surrounded himself with Truther nutters, neo-Nazis, paranoid asshats, anti-Semites, and other loathesome creatures. But I’m just SURE none of that reflects on Paul himself, right? There’s nothing about him that draws these scumbags and nutjobs to him, right? It’s all a big coinkidink.
