Ron Paul and the Nazis

COMMENT: It is not news that Ron Paul has expressed harsh, big­ot­ed com­ments ^[1] about gays, African-Amer­i­cans and Jews ^[2] in his newslet­ter although his sup­port­ers claim it “was not Ron Paul” who actu­al­ly authored the arti­cles.

It is also not news that white suprema­cist and Nazi ele­ments have expressed sup­port for Ron Paul ^[3].

Nor is it news that the GOP is in bed with Nazis ^[4].

After hack­ing into fas­cist web­sites, the Anony­mous hack­ing group alleges that Paul has engaged the lead­ers of some of these groups in con­fer­ence calls. If true, that con­firms his active sup­port for such ele­ments at the same time that he is pub­licly dis­avow­ing them.

A cou­ple of points in pass­ing: although Paul is clear­ly racist/fascist in his ori­en­ta­tion, his anti-Fed­er­al Reserve stance and oppo­si­tion to for­eign aid to Israel has endeared him to ele­ments of the “Truther” movement–those peo­ple in the 9/11 inves­tiga­tive move­ment who espouse the con­trolled demo­li­tion of the World Trade Center/cruise mis­sile hit the Pen­ta­gon non­sense.

His oppo­si­tion to some of the surveillance/national secu­ri­ty leg­is­la­tion passed in the wake of 9/11 has also endeared him to some of the Amer­i­can Mus­lim com­mu­ni­ty. ^[5]

Would­n’t be inter­est­ing to get some of the Truthers and Mus­lims togeth­er with the folks from Storm­front and see how they get along?

EXCERPT: . . . Anony­mous also claims that the organ­i­sa­tion has links with Repub­li­can can­di­date Ron Paul. “We found a dis­turbing­ly high num­ber of mem­bers who are also involved in cam­paign­ing for Ron Paul,” the state­ment said, adding that Paul had reg­u­lar­ly met with many par­ty mem­bers and even engaged in con­fer­ence calls with its board of direc­tors.
