Ron Paul Poses With Stormfront Nazi Don Black & Son

The defense here is, I imagine, "Hey, I had no idea who this guy was, he just said he was a fan and I took a picture with him."

And yeah, I admit that's plausible. This was at the Values Voter debate in Fort Lauderdale; unless one's on the left, it wouldn't occur to one to think "Gee, I bet this Republican confab is crawling with Nazis; I'd best be on my guard."

But...

He is oddly reluctant to give up a mere $500 from the Nazi, isn't he? This is of course the same Don Black who donated the $500 to Ron Paul before, which Paul has been so intent on keeping.

I should hope to God he gives that money back, or else, no, I'm not going to believe this is all just an alarming string of coincidences any longer.

Oh, PS, Andrew Sullivan endorsed Paul the other day. Wouldn't this all just be too delicious?

Trying to be Charitable... but I'll note again that this is the guy who actively courts Truthers as supporters, appears on the talk show of psychologically warped conspiracy pornographer Alex Jones, says he just can't do anything at all if a Stormfront newsletter links to his campaign page, etc.

The fucking freak courts people like this. So yeah, I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt here, but this is the company he keeps. Not the exclusive company, to be sure, but he doesn't mind palling around with basket-case extremists and bug-eyed malcontents on either the extreme right or extreme left.

Thanks to CJ.
