Just wondering what y'all think of this.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - 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.

Black said he supports Paul's stance on ending the war in Iraq, securing U.S. borders and his opposition to amnesty for illegal immigrants.

"We know that he's not a white nationalist. He says he isn't and we believe him, but on the issues, there's only one choice," Black said Wednesday.

"We like his stand on tight borders and opposition to a police state," Black told The Palm Beach Post earlier.

On his Web site, Black says he has been involved in "the White patriot movement for 30 years."

Does anyone see the irony in the White Supremacist being named Don Black?

Mc Cain is more pro war and radical about preemptive murder than Bush, so that to me is a bad investment. It has nothing to do with the person, and everything to do with the cause itself. Money is money regardless of who is spending it.

This is something Paul will have to continue to walk a fine line on. he is going to attract anyone with a vested interest in freedom of speech. Which DOES mean a lot of nutjobs. He will have to be careful how he handles free vs hate speech, since he bases EVERYTHING on the constitution. This is perfect fuel for his opponents.

well, i'm just going to butt in, in here

if Ron Paul is a good candidate ( i know fuck all about him ) then, sure it's a money well spent......though i'd never give my money to politicians.

"somehow they aren't because they where white sheets and not turbans" very good point of view

Well he does have a point. If you (well not you, but the politicians recieving the money) have some principles, not all money is just money. You may want to show your extreme loathing of some movements by doing THE most extreme thing nowadays : refusing money.

He actually does have a point, I just like busting his balls because it's so easy. I'm a little disappointed in Paul for not returning the money. Even though he is a strong supporter of free speech that doesn't mean that he has to accept money from hate organizations. He can still defend their rights, as dictated in the Constitution. I'm still going to support him because in my opinion he is the best option out there.

No shit.
and it was a weak point, too.

Returning money is PC bullshit.
Paul is right, if someone with fucked up ideologies wants to contribute money to HIS ideology, then better Paul should have it than the real nutter.

Either way, the idea of candidates sifting through and verifying the ideologies of ALL CONTRIBUTORS is a fucking bullshit proposition.

So, is it only when some crazy hating fuck is a high profile crazy hating fuck that a candidate should return money?

WTF for, a dog and pony show?
Grow up people.

if someone gives you money for a campaign, why would you return it? This is exactly as stupid as not taking money from other countries when they offered it after Katrina... It's free.. take it.

You don't owe them anything, besides the guy said he agree with him on a variety of issues not dealing with white supremacy...

That being said.... shall we dig up every donor of every dollar on both sides in this race....I think that would raise a few eyebrows.

Ok let's give the money back to him them...in fact lets give him twice the amount back...maybe he'll use the extra to go burn a church down.

that'll teach us for using money toward a good cause!!

coming from you, that means alot.
"Integrity" coming from the guy who spews insults in just about every post.

I'm suprised you haven't had a little time out ban recently.
Maybe its time to change that.
