Why not take a listen yourself to what Ron Paul says about the Donation:

I think he defended himself well in this video and find it amusing what a controversy this donation is exaggerated to be. A single man, not an
organization, donated five-hundred dollars to Ron Paul whose beliefs could be no more dissimilar. I agree with Dr. Paul that if he were to return the
money then it would appear that he endorses Mr. Black's beliefs as the money may well already be spent and well invested.

Wow! Viewed the video. This is the first time I've ever seen Ron Paul talking in a video and,right off the bat, -- his looks, his facial expressions
and his manner of speech reminds me of Bush. Mute that video and just watch him and you will see what I'm talking about. I'm also seeing a lot of
restraint there on his part so as not to illuminate those similarities he has with Bush. He knows about that.. I'm sure. Yet, on the other hand,
there's that subtle 'thing' about his delivery that wants to bring out those similarities... nevertheless, he has not balenced things (his act) out
enough to overcome his wooden-ness.... but I'm sure he's working on that though.. no doubt about it.
Now I'm understanding why so many of you are attracted to this candidate and in my view, at the present time, it's more to do with him resembling
Bush in those things I just mentioned than anything this guy is saying.
This scares me because it's clear to me that no matter what this guy says, many of you are going to along with it because our world has changed so
much over the past few years, that familiarity is weirdly comforting to you regardless that it was Bush and company who had a lot to do with those
changes that have turned our world upside down. In short, you want change but you don't want to change the LEADER.
So if he says that the reason why he's keeping the money that that nazis guy gave to him is because at least that $500 will be better spent in his
campaign than Black using it in his organization to spread his propaganda, regardless that that's the most ludicrous answer anyone can use to twist
and contort things to avoid giving the money back ... it's also VERY Machiavellian!! Get me the smelling salts!! -- many of you are so sold on this
guy's candidacy, you can't see the hills beyond the trees!
I find this extremely unsettling.
