Ron Paul To Keep Neo-Nazi Money
Posted on December 19, 2007
My goodness! Its only $500! What kind of money will Ron Paul refuse? Would he refuse it if it came from the mob?
Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has received a $500 campaign donation from a white supremacist, and the Texas congressman doesn’t plan to return it, an aide said Wednesday.
Don Black, of West Palm Beach, recently made the donation, according to campaign filings. He runs a Web site called Stormfront with the motto, “White Pride World Wide.” The site welcomes postings to the “Stormfront White Nationalist Community.”“Dr. Paul stands for freedom, peace, prosperity and inalienable rights. If someone with small ideologies happens to contribute money to Ron, thinking he can influence Ron in any way, he’s wasted his money,” Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said. “Ron is going to take the money and try to spread the message of freedom.”
“And that’s $500 less that this guy has to do whatever it is that he does,” Benton added.
Captain Ed is on the same page:
Sorry, but that doesn’t sell. It’s one thing to get a donation from a neo-Nazi; after all, Paul didn’t solicit it. It’s another thing entirely to keep the money after its source becomes clear. Keeping the money makes it look like the campaign approves of the source, and that is a very, very bad message to send when one is bragging about the success of recent money-bomb events.
What kind of money will Ron Paul refuse? Drug money? Extortion rackets? Mob skim? Those are the questions people will want answered. Paul’s response does not give confidence in the judgment of his campaign, and by extension its candidate.
I’m not that surprised he is keeping the money. I just wonder if it has anything to do with his racist and anti-semitic statements from the past.

Sorry for the duplicate. I did not think it registered.
You guys do realize this story is just an attempt to hold on to some of the Dem votes in November, right?
Oh my god he accepted money from an AMERICAN citizen who happens to be a “neo-nazi”.
As Dr. Paul says, it’s the mans fault for sending him the money. Why should he give it back??
How funny, I thought this was “Stop the ACLU” not, acted like a bunch of whiney MSM liberals.
Should I start saying Happy Holidays here too??

The other republicans are accepting money from the neocons. In fact, most of them are self-admitted neocons!!! Who has done more damage to the US in the last 15 years neocons or neonazis?
