Not sure who it was that broke the story. To hear it here is all part of a MSM conspiracy to blunt the irresistable force that is Ron paul 2008
If one propses to hold the highest elected office and, thereby, swear to uphold the principles laid down by our founding fathers, then you must
understand that there was nothing "wrong" with accepting that donation.
Ron paul could hae exersized his constitutional rights and resused the donation as well. But he chose to keep the $$$$. As with alot of things in life
it sadly seems to boil down to $$$$
Our 1st ammendment gives freedom of speech to all men. That is to say, that all viewpoints no matter how despicable or morally
offensive, are free to be expressed within
Again how was the neo nazi's rights infringed? None of the responces have ever said he was not free to preach his hate anywhere he wants as long as
he abides by the rights of everybody.
However, that does not make paul or anyone bound to take his money.
Secondary to this, this donor stated why he gave the money which was based on Paul's beliefs.
Troubling yet again. So he appeals to the founder of a neo nazi group? I know I saw the speech and they have tried to spin it off on a natiolism,
illegal immigrant thing, but.........
If you folks find this donor morally repugnant, fine. But do so based on his beliefs, not Dr. Paul's.
Not his beliefs but HE still chose to keep money from neo nazi's
Again, if you want to be FAIR, start looking at whose donating to all of the other candidates. I bet you won't find many willing to publically
disclose who's donating. And why would that be?
Im not sure if you understand how the donation thing usually works.
Someone else offered to do this and has yet to come up with anything, or has not bothered so i invite you to do the same.

Do you seriously think that funds fom donors you might find morally reprehensible haven't flowed into the coffers of the other candidates. Sure they
have, you just don't know it.
Nope, but when pointed out that funds from a neo nazi were donated most would return them Paul chose not too.
