Media's Attempt to Smear Ron Paul gives White Supremacist millions of dollars worth of news coverage for a mere $500
Media's attempt to smear candidate Ron Paul gives a
white supremacist millions of dollars worth of
extensive media coverage for only $500 but suggest
that it should be free!
white supremacist millions of dollars worth of
extensive media coverage for only $500 but suggest
that it should be free!
Most Americans until recently this December have
never heard of Don Black, but now you can find his
name throughout the Mainstream media reports and
blogs across the internet. Don Black is a
self-admitted white supremacist who runs an online
website called "Stormfront" which runs on the
slogan "White Pride World Wide" which he operates
from his home state of Florida. His recent
explosion of exposure has resulted due to his
donation of $500 to Republican candidate Ron Paul
who is known for his strict adherence and respect
of the constitution as well as his limited government principles.
Ron Paul has achieved nearly top-tier status in the
GOP's race for the presidential primaries and his
recent second fundraising boom has alerted the
mainstream media into a frenzy of hit pieces
against the candidate, along with a few news
sources who go against the trend by giving Ron Paul
an unbiased and sometimes even favorable analysis.
LoneStarTimes.com was the first news source to
break out with an article concerning Don Black's
monetary endorsement of Ron Paul all the way back
in October but it took the more major media
sources, including Fox News and MSNBC up until Ron
Paul's shocking "Boston Tea Party" in December to
conveniantly take advantage of this material to
smear him during his rise to prominence.
LoneStarTimes.com is a shoddy and somewhat
unorganized blog based in Houston, TX which is
consistently dedicated to bashing Ron Paul and his
supporters. Of course, it is only fair to mention
the fact that they also run an ad for Ron Paul's
congressional rival as well as a petition to retire
Dr. Paul from congress.
Now that the word of Don Black's donation to Ron
Paul is spamming the internet and recieving
plethoras of comments that show America's divided
opinion on Mr. Paul's refusal to return the
donation to the white supremacist, whose campaign
says that instead they will use the money to
"spread the message of freedom". Even Neil Cavuto
of Fox News could not argue with Ron Paul in an
interview in which they discussed this
controversial event.
Blogs and written news articles that are not
directly speaking with Dr. Paul demand that he
returns the $500 to the White supremacist but the
Paul campaign says that doing so would allow him to
spend the money on his racist agenda rather than
the campaign of freedom and liberty, which is
obviously superior. Why let the white supremacist
who has gotten away with so much moneys worth of
free news coverage get it all for free anyways?
Other writers demand that Ron Paul donate that
money to "charities", often suggesting
organizations that promote zionism. Why would the
Paul campaign contribute to these supposedly
"charitable" organizations that support a nation
that uses pre-emptive and violent tactics against
it's own neighbors, often using U.S. tax dollars to
carry out these strikes!? Writers of these articles
would like readers to believe that this is what the
honest and forthright politician would spend money
on. This is far from the truth but many readers still fall for it.
In a response to the articles for condemning Ron
Paul for keeping the donations made by Don Black I said:
Paul for keeping the donations made by Don Black I said:
Ron Paul is so Awesome!
His stand on this issue by not sucking up to the
establishments "unwritten" laws about the
politically correct way to deal with the donation
from a white supremacist is enlightening! The
author of this Ron Paul smear would have you
believe that the fact that Ron Paul is refusing
this contribution is indicative of the fact that he
"knows" that he will not win. On the contrary,
perhaps the confidence in doing something out of
the ordinary has a potential chance in increasing
his chances in the race for president.
The latest wave of Ron Paul bashing articles has to
do with his outstanding grassroots fundraisers for
the Boston Tea Party... the media will shit itself
over Ron Paul, the anti-banker, the representitive
of the people! That is why this old information is
just now leaking out at a conveniant time for the
media to grab onto in an effort to smear the man
who embodies integrity and frankness.
This article fails to mention why Don Black decided
to give his contribution to Ron Paul, which he said
was about Ron Paul's policies, namely the fact that
Ron paul is opposed to a police state and his want
to strengthen the borders. Black noted that he knew
that Ron Paul was not a white supremacist or a
racist. The truth is that Ron Paul has spoken
against racism and has never done anything to
solicit the support of white supremacists unless it
was by simply being for free speech (which includes
the free speech of controversial topics like the
ones Don speaks about).
Articles like this would like to tell you that
because Ron Paul has allowed an openly racist
figure to donate to his campaign he has implicitly
suggested that he believes in racist ideology. This
is purely illogical. People donate to candidates
because the person who is running endorses the
ideas that the donater wants addressed, not the
other way around.
Tom Tancredo Drops Out of Race, Endorses Mitt Romney
Tom Tancredo, a less popular candidate who was formerly in the Republican race drops out! Hooray! Hopefully the next to drop out will be John McCain or Mike Huckabe, although we will have to see what happens...
“And so today I’m doing two things that I believe are in the best interests of this cause, and that cause is, of course, a secure America. I am withdrawing from the race and I’m endorsing Governor Romney for president of the United States,” Tancredo said. I don't know how well this endorsement will do Romney, but I do know that it will also benefit Ron Paul's chances at winning!

Ron Paul's "Boston Tea Party" money bomb! Ron Paul on MSNBC: "Most money raised in a single day ever"
Ron Paul on MSNBC's "Morning Joe". Ron Paul is definitely getting more face time in the Mainstream Media and it is about time!
Ron Paul supporters got together and planned the latest money bomb yet for Ron Paul, cleverly placed on the day of the Boston Tea Party to show the great support by the Ron Paul movement. He is up to $18 million this quarter and raised $6 million in a single day! MSNBC reports that this is the most money raised by a candidate in a single day than any other candidate in US History!
Morning Joe also informs Ron Paul that his own son in Florida will be voting for him!
Ron Paul says there is no technique behind the ability to raise so much money, but it is the message of freedom! They ask if it will translate into votes - of course it will! Who would put money into something without taking the effort to vote for it! Ron Paul's support is much greater than the polls show!
Mike Huckabee's campaign tried to copy his money bomb but failed miserably, infact, Ron Paul's supporters raised even more money on that same day without even hosting an event to do so!

Ron Paul blimp charts unprecedented course!
Look! Up in the sky: It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s ... Ron Paul?
If a whimsical publicity stunt goes as planned, a blimp hyping the long-shot Republican presidential campaign of the Texas congressman will launch next week. The blimp is now up and running and will eventually head toward the state of New Hampshire for the primaries.
The Blimp idea is completely new and has never been used to promote a candidate before. It's success or failure will influence the use of blimps in future campaigns for presidency. The blimp is chartered to fly over the IRS as a sign that the Ron Paul "threat" to their unconstitutional prominence is very real!
Other candidates are envious of the Blimp and will probably try to come up with their own creative ideas, the Mike Huckabee campaign has already concocted plans of copying the blimp idea, but it is doubtful that they will get the same kind of Grassroots support that the Ron Paul freedom movement has!This project is completely grassroots and is not in control of the official campaign, however, they are open minded about it and welcome it.

Anatomy of the Ron Paul Nation
"Ron Paul is no laughing matter." — David All (GOP strategist) AOL News, October 11, 2007
I have never had much enthusiasm for following politics; I found that a blanket condemnation of the whole subspecies Officeseeker stood me in good stead and saved me time to focus on more useful things, such as Lindsey Lohan's current status.[1] I have never willingly given money to any politician, never pitched a chirpy phone call to a fellow citizen reminding them that today is election day, never joined any political party whatsoever, feeling that those who do missed the whole point of the Federalist Papers.
Admittedly, every four years I'd do my civic duty and throw my vote down the Libertarian Party's maw. That's as far as my active support for the libertarian crowd went until last Friday night, when I wrote a relatively large check in support of Ron Paul, allowing me entrée into a private reception held at a fabulously gorgeous penthouse in New York City.
I drank the red, surrounded by fifty or so other donors.
Naturally I had a nice time hanging with the Four Figure Donor Crowd, which like any such event gets you a handshake, a few words, and a picture with the candidate. Nice speech, nice time, nice man. Ron Paul holds the distinction of being, in my opinion, probably the only member of Congress our Founders would not find cause to shun.
His ideological outlook towards power is frozen in 1776, leading to a remarkable consistency in his actions and words despite a 30-year public life. My little brother Tommy — yet another 20-something newly minted fan — is reading Mr. Paul's A Foreign Policy of Freedom. His admiring review: "He's been giving the same speech since 1976."
But despite Ron Paul's books, speeches, and meeting the man in person, what really opened my eyes to what his campaign is all about was in meeting the supporters who gathered at a Chelsea location afterwards, in drinking and smoking with the Decidedly Less Than Four Figure Crowd. Show me your friends, show me yourself; so I believe. Ron Paul represents something, and the man is just a conduit for what a nightclub full of earnest young people represent, for what they believe. Among these young supporters is where I met the real Ron Paul, or, more to the point, the Ron Paul movement.
The Kids Are Alright
"One thing only has been lent to youth and age in common — discontent." — Matthew Arnold
From what I've read on the web, Ron Paul attracts a rather … umm … oddball sort of crowd, so to speak. From the attractive brunette bartender who, along with drinks, served warnings of a "one world government" to our new friend Casey Holland telling us, in amazing detail, how 9-11 was a set-up, be forewarned that when Ron Paul supporters gather, conspiracy theories will fall like manna from heaven. Since I've read Harvard professor Bernard Bailyn's Ideological Origins of the American Revolution, in which he devotes an entire section to our Founder's unshakable belief in conspiracies, I found this trait more admirable than amusing. Judging by our history books, which are littered with politically sponsored bloodbaths, viewing the political class with extreme suspicion and distrust seems only rational.
Having been refused accommodations by the New York Republican Party,[2] about two hundred Ron Paul supporters found their own space, a cavernous hall that featured the standard bar, couches, nooks and crannies to hide in, and, according to one participant who'd been there before, was used on occasion as a sex club. The oddball nature of the venue fit the crowd like a glove.
P.J. O'Rourke once wrote that if you want to see which way the wind is blowing, follow the pretty girls. If this is so, then from the Ron Paul Girl to the aptly named Angel who I spoke to at the after party, Ron Paul is the wave of the future.[3] But the most striking feature of the crowd was not looks, but youth.
Most of them seem to be web savvy, with the ability, at minimum, to hack into any news studio's voting system, be it text or Internet based.[4] My wife warned me to keep an eye on my Blackberry, lest it fall into evil hands. You couldn't turn around without seeing a video camera perched on someone's shoulder. While the crowd's attachment to the Internet was on display (the event was put together in four days via the net) what they really seem to love is video.[5]
In one of the hall's nooks, a video interview room was born, and if you search the web I'm sure the results are on there somewhere. The Ron Paul campaign's attitude towards recording and disseminating their events and literature reminds me of the Grateful Dead's: feel free. The entire night — hell the entire movement — seems rather unscripted and spontaneous.
So why do they all support Ron Paul? Doubtless, the war plays a part, but MoveOn.org couldn't pull this off — I've been to some of their events and the turnout wasn't even close. I asked Jessica, who was leaning on a bar with her friend Chris, what it was about Ron Paul that attracted them, and she gave me the same answer I would hear all night. "You know," she said, "it's about freedom, and having rights." Like almost everyone I asked, they had only known about Ron Paul for "a couple of months," yet were willing to pay $100 each to drink to his health.
His hold on this crowd goes deeper than merely being antiwar. One flyer given to me by a young bearded kid read, "Who is Ron Paul?" and listed his beliefs, as expressed by his voting record. Pro-gun, antitax, for freedom of the Internet, anti–Patriot Act — his opposition to the war was listed near the bottom, almost like an afterthought. The people I spoke to were more about how Ron Paul matches their urge for "freedom and rights" than on any specific issue he stands on.
Between the informational handouts, bumper stickers, the ubiquitous video cameras, a promotional CD mixed by a Brooklyn based duo called The Statue of David, and the crowd's radical feeling towards the establishment, the after party had all the markings of the '60s, without that sad generation's lust for and admiration of power. Whatever the traditional media polls say, this man has struck a chord among quite a few of the young. The night was a happening, as much as a tired forty-year-old can make it out to be.
This presidential campaign's hippest candidate, perched right on the cutting edge of radical, is a 72-year-old grandfather who complimented his suit with a pair of black sneakers.
