Does Ron Paul have a Jewish problem? Jewcy.com thinks so.
It seems Ron Paul's idiosyncratic take on politics isn't just drawing those disaffected libertarians - both liberal and conservative - to his fold, but American neo-Nazis.
And as Daniel Sieradski writes, Paul can't be held accountable for whom his supporters are, but he can be held accountable from whom he takes money, and here's where the rub resides.
According to the Lone Star Times, White Nationalists have become a noticeable source of financial contributions to the Paul campaign. Indeed, even Don Black, the founder of Stormfront, and one of the most notorious neo-Nazis in America, has personally contributed $500 to Paul's campaign.
Though it's true that Paul's campaign has no control over who sends them money in advance, once it becomes apparent that a neo-Nazi leader is sending money, any sensible politician who does not wish to be identified with neo-Nazism should send the money back. Not so for Ron Paul, however, whose campaign is still making up its mind as to whether or not to return Black's money.
I don't necessarily understand how Ron Paul could be so obtuse as to not send these contributions back, or if he, somehow, can reconcile this with libertarian principles, but I find it impossible not to agree with Sieradski's conclusion:
Frankly, this is a no-brainer. Any other candidate would unequivocally reject that money as soon as its donor's identity was known. That Paul's campaign needs time to think about it is shocking.
Indeed it is.
