If he's a "former racist"?I know because there is nothing he has said or done in recent years that point towards him being a racist. Rather, I see him speaking out against racism:

I've already covered why he takes money from racists...because as a libertarian he doesn't care what you believe personally; that is the essence of freedom of speech, expression, and thought. Money is money. Money from a racist is exactly the same as money from a non-racist. All money will help his campaign, and his campaign is completely against racism. I doubt it matters to Ron Paul that white supremacists are wasting their money supporting him.
Quote:I told you he spoke at an 50th anniversary anti zionist rally and a neo confederate rally but that wasn't good enough for you ........apparently he needs to be screaming racial slurs at the top his lungs with swastikas in the background, for it to count as a real white supremacist rally......... and needs to have happened in the last 6 monthsYes, you told me. I do not believe you. Besides, you did not say he spoke at a 50th anniversay anti zionist rally and a neo confederate rally; you said:
Quote:...the videos of him speaking at white power rallies and confrences...
I do not believe that claim. You have yet to substantiate that claim. All you have done is post videos which have no actual racist content on the part of Ron Paul...you have just decided to interpret them that way, or you have not been fully aware of all the facts (as with the newsletters).
No, to believe that Ron Paul is a racist, you'll have to show me evidence that within the last, let's say, 10 years, he has spoken at white power rallies as you claimed. That doesn't have to involve him screaming racial slurs, or swastikas, but it does have to be an actual white supremacist rally...
