Whee! A political debate! NOW we're off-topic!

This is cheap mudslinging Drewv. Either support it with facts or stick it back where you pulled it from.

Ron Paul on racism:

“Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals . . . By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called “diversity” actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist . . . we should understand that racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty.”

Your assertion that he is 'associated' with the Aryan nation is a) baseless and b) guilt by association. He has also been 'associated' with 9/11 'truthers' because some of them attended a speech he held and later asked him some questions.

Better luck next time!
