"According to these messages, Ron Paul has regularly met with many A3P members, even engaging in conference calls with their board of directors. Ron Paul’s racist politics and affiliations are already well known, being viciously anti-immigrant, anti-abortion and against gay marriage — not to mention having authored the racist “Ron Paul Papers” and receiving financial support from other white power groups (pictured with Don Black from [hate-site-nolink])."

Anonymous yesterday released files claiming to evidence correspondence between Senator Ron Paul and a group called the American Third Person. These files were obtained following the success of Operation Blitzkreig.
Extract from Anon press release:

I have been a supporter of Ron Paul's foreign policy and aspects of his economic policies for several years now. However his social policies have always evoked some apprehension in me. Many people seem to revere him as an infallible deity-like entity. It's okay to admit that he is only human and may have some skeletons in his closet. However, if these leaks are factual this is going to have damning consequences and possibly take Paul out of the running.
For what reason would Anonymous try to skew public perception of Ron Paul?

For what reason would Anonymous try to skew public perception of Ron Paul?
American Libertarians are dead-set on keeping their wealth and claiming to do so in the name of freedom.
13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Because Ron Paul is a politician and Anonymous does not trust any leader. Ron Paul's very much a pandering politician to those who do not make the full leap into an anti-authoritarian mindset; American Libertarians are dead-set on keeping their wealth and claiming to do so in the name of freedom.
Anonymous recognizes that Ron Paul wants to help his friends, those who would need a Libertarian in office to pursue their exploitative employment policies. Ron Paul, being for states rights, would roll back certain federal statues to let the states legislatures be swayed by the multi-national corporations who buy lobbyists at various state levels.
It costs less to convince the individual state legislators to be pro-business than it does at the federal level of government.
Ron Paul has some excellent ideas, and I do like that many people are waking up to see that his ideas can work.
However he would threaten the liberty of the entire USA by allowing the States to be influenced by the money of large industries. Because currently the Federal Level of legislation is hard to lobby for the companies that give Libertarians money, Ron Paul would act towards allowing states to be mislead.
That is what I think, you may tell me I am wrong, but do not insult me.
As for the racism. It would be fascinating to see when that correspondence happened. Could one dismiss a recent meeting as unimportant?

But isn't it ALREADY run by large corporations... The Fed for example?

The Federal Government relies on the Federal Reserve to print the money it needs, yes. However the Lobbyists at the Federal Level have to spend more money rather than the lobbyists at the State-ledge level.
The Federal Reserve is not a Lobbying group, not officially. The Industry Lobbying Groups are large corporations with legislatures basically around their finger. If they could lower their costs like any other business they'd make more money.
Ron Paul would allow them to start pushing for certain changes at the State Level, rather than the Federal, by being a Libertarian President who has veto power over some bills designed to make the Federal Union more powerful over certain areas the States usually have power in.
I think, but perhaps I missed the mark on your question?
