Cracker please.

Gary want a cracker?

_sorry.

The libs are not even in the fight yet. Cain was sunk by Perry and I am sure that one of the other GOP candidates brought this to light.

His website is on Geocities, right?

Websites aren't in the constitution.

CravenMorehead: His website is on Geocities, right?

Charles Babbage gave him a hand with the computing technology needed before he died.

vygramul: What's his position on endorsements from racists, again?

He said he supports it because saying bad things about racists is "pandering".

MaxxLarge: Maybe so, but - Photo-ops with the Neo-nazi white supremacist founders of Stormfront: Still Okay!

In a sane world, this would be enough to end his candidacy. But not for RON PAUL! He's going to end all wars and let us all smoke the ganj.

CravenMorehead: His website is on Geocities, right?

It's surprisingly advanced. By using wood blocks, ropes and pulleys, Paul's website incorporates leverage and the wheel. They're homophobic white supremacist wheels, but, you know, one step at a time.

In a way, this will work for him. The message is out from his press release that he was endorsed by Kayser, he can play the victim card when the liberal pinko-commy mainstream MSM media attacks him, and anti-war stoners who believe Ron Paul is the only one who can stop the endless war in Iraq and finally bring home the hundreds of thousands of soldiers still trapped over there will be like, "Whatever, dude, legalize it!"

/It reminds me of "John McCain does NOT speak for the John McCain campaign!"

MaxxLarge: Maybe so, but - Photo-ops with the Neo-nazi white supremacist founders of Stormfront: Still Okay!

From Wiki: Stormfront began as an online bulletin board system in the early 1990s before being established as a website in 1995 by former Ku Klux Klan leader and white nationalist activist Don Black.

Now THAT is a hilariously unfortunate last name for a white supremacist.

It's not like it's some obscure secret, plucked directly from the recesses of RON PAUL's brilliantly omniscient brain, Inception-style. He published (or best case scenario, paid someone to publish) about 50 of his newsletters with bigoted articles in them, over the span of a decade and under his name. It's not a dirty tactic to hold a presidential candidate accountable for statements he's made publicly!!!


Man, Ron Paul maniacs swear this guy pisses Guinness and shiats gold (which would explain his gold standard kookiness), and all I've been hearing from these insufferable bastards over the past few years is how RON PAUL could single-handedly save the Universe, if only he could get some media coverage. Now, as a front-runner, he is under some well-deserved scrutiny for saying crazy shiat and all of a sudden it's not fair and the media is out to get him.

They're just as big a bunch of whining pussies as the Republicans they so arrogantly claim not to be.

Gary, Gary, Gary!

RandomExcess: This strong arm tactics of the liberalistas are getting out of hand. What happened to making your point and moving on?

It was the liberal media that forced Ron Paul to announce the endorsement on his campaign website.

Link (new window)

/It was a PRESS RELEASE! Why was his campaign surprised when the PRESS reported on it?

St_Francis_P: That's an over-zealous staffer in that picture, wearing a Ron Paul mask.

It wouldn't be the first time they used a stand-in

It wasn't exactly a secret. Extremist candidates garner support from extremists. Dr. Paul's support from the white power movement was news in 2008 as well.

Yes it's shocking that the candidate with the best organized, youngest, and most internet-based supporters, has a website. Good one subby.

I have a friend who's going to vote for him on the second point alone. Social Security, Medicare, and women's rights be damned.

mrshowrules: thismomentinblackhistory: Ron Paul is the equivalent of a handcuffed gay power bottom at a bukake party. That's how passive he is.

Nothing is ever his fault; yet he has never done anything other than introduce failed bills into Congress and fail to garner any meaningful victories in Presidential races. Racist newsletter with his name on it? Never read 'em! Shady endorsements? Can't control who endorses ya! Shiatty news coverage? Conspiracy!

The best is the length his supporters enablers will go to defend him, like on local talk radio. They had his campaign manager on crying about how nobody pays attention to Ron Paul in the MSM. But he also offered this little nugget: if the MSM did pay attention to him it would be bad because Ron Paul isn't in their pocket!

Nothing he does is wrong. BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. Yeah, let's support someone who apparently has no control over his public life or image.

It almost gives you more respect for the outspoken racists. Almost.

I actually have a modicum of respect for outspoken racists, inasmuch as they have the goddamn balls to admit it. It's the closet racists (read: 90% of the teabaggers) who INSIST they aren't racist right before saying something like "I've got nothing against _____ [blacks, Asians, Mexicans, etc.], BUT...." that are beyond cowardly and pathetic.

rynthetyn: An endorsement by a theonomist who is as extreme as this particular guy is is pretty much the same as being endorsed by the Taliban. No wait, I'm pretty sure the Taliban doesn't believe in stoning disobedient children.

much better to throw acid in their faces, that reminds them to wear their burkhas

Nice to see the sheep being manipulated. Ron Paul -- that crazy, white supremacist, homophobic conspiracy theorist kook!

Oh, he also came out against SOPA today. Crazy!

The joke here is that you, like all Americans, biatch and complain about politicians and their manufactured images, and then when it comes election time demand that they "control" their public life or image.

Paul is currently facing intense scrutiny over a series of newsletters...that have been in the public domain for years and were repudiated over a decade ago however the media thinks they can score some cheap points by making it seem like new news and a BREAKING STORY.

Meanwhile, this is the same media that bent over backwards to hide the fact that Obama had sat in Wright's church listening to his racist garbage for over twenty years without a single repudiation until he absolutely had to.

This has got to be the biggest media troll ever.

How about just own the stupid shiat you've said before? I've said some dumb things, and I plainly admit them and call them dumb. Why isn't this okay to do?

He isn't using the federally funded internet that bounces off federally created space satelites and infrastructures, right? He is using the bootstrappy libertarian interweb, right?

/libderptarians are teh stupidz

Bachmann lost her campaign manager to Ron Paul, both who have been long time friends and lovers.

Xanga.

This is where a reply would go if anyone cared what the fark you thought.

Just out of curiosity, what's the difference? Past association with racists is the same no matter what, is it not?

so being endorsed by someone magically makes that person's beliefs your own?

/Ron, trust me, you are going to want the anti-gay moron vote. You are going to need EVERY moron you can find to vote for you, its your only shot.

Though I do tire of the standard that candidates have to have perfect backgrounds. FoxNews hounded Obama for years about his past relatively meaningless associations. Anyone who has lived enough time and lead an interesting enough life to become a serious presidential candidate, is going to have plenty of baggage. I want to know what these people are doing now, what their positions are, and some history to show their leadership abilities. I don't need to know about every small potential misstep they took. Someone would have to be prepping for being the presidential candidate to care about associations with Rev Write, or some newsletter published across the country. One must remember how life was like before the internet.

I sound fat: so being endorsed by someone magically makes that person's beliefs your own?

/Ron, trust me, you are going to want the anti-gay moron vote. You are going to need EVERY moron you can find to vote for you, its your only shot.

It's not so much that this random guy randomly endorsed Ron Paul, it's the a pastor who advocates the death penalty for homosexuality endorsed Ron Paul because he believes that giving more power to the states will open the door for certain states to authorize the death penalty for homosexuality. It's all part of the race for Republicans to out-crazy each other in the primaries.

People make the comparison to Jeremiah Wright, but it's not as if Wright came out saying, "I believe that the Federal government invented AIDS, and I'm endorsing Barack Obama because of the numerous times he's promised to launch an investigation into the fact that the Federal government invented AIDS."

Hell, I don't believe that it will ever be possible for a state government to authorize the death penalty for homosexuality, no matter what kind of right-wing nut gets into the White House. But here's the thing: by starting off with "Kill 'em all!" as their opening argument, other compromises seem more reasonable. "Okay, so we can't just kill 'em all, so why don't we just put 'em all in jail? That's a lot more compassionate than killin' 'em, right?" That's kinda scary; since they've started out with "Kill 'em all!" any other restriction on rights for homosexuals that would otherwise seem abhorent now sounds a bit more reasonable.

I sound fat: so being endorsed by someone magically makes that person's beliefs your own?

No...but trumpeting that person's endorsement does have that effect.

Like what Paul's Iowa chair said about the endorsement (from TFA):

Paul's Iowa chair Drew Ivers praised the fundamentalist leader in a campaign release in which he specifically credited Kayser with "the enlightening statements he makes on how Ron Paul's approach to government is consistent with Christian beliefs."

Or is a candidate not responsible for his own campaign officers?
