Entry: Only a Revolution Will Do Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/only_a_revolution_will_do#17261 Post contents: As to those that criticize Paul and Derbyshire about not returning money from only a few white supremacists (note than Don Black did contribute to George Bush in 2000 and even demonstrated for him, and nobody objected? while Dr. Paul did not support Bush) , is Dr. Paul and his campaign supposed to research all the contributers on the internet or call them to enquire where they belong to any of the fringe groups? Get real! Also think if you find anything white supremacist, neonazi, 911 truth etc in his policy and message? I did not think so, actually rather the opposite. Dr. Paul understand the meaning of freedom of speech, classical liberalism, and one can rather tolerate these people as people (not their ideas) and show them positive the right way, set an example and get them to meet other Ron Paul supporters, and the chances are good they would not feel pushed out and see the other side of the story, broaden their horizon and change. Or do the PC proponents want these people to hold their "evil views" forever and never change? As a christian - as Dr. Paul also is, one or two of his brothers are pastors and he wanted to study it himself - one knows everybody is a sinner and no one should be so arrogant as to think he/she does not have any weaknesses and mistakes (sins). The PC correct people must also critically ask themselves how morally acceptable it is that many of the voters indirectly contributed to the death of innocent people in Iraq (for instance), by being part of voting for politicians and also funding the government with their taxes. If they want to compare (sins are "equal": how does the utter of a racist word compare to the killing or lifelong physical and emotional injuring of an innocent victim? In war, the truth is often the first casualty! BTW: Dr. Paul has received a positive testament from a NAACP president in Austin TX, who knows him since many years and no one has ever heard him making any racist comments in the slightest. He has cared for people of all backgrounds and walks of life, sometimes even for free. And how is it that a candidate who uttered anti-Semitic words (Hillary CLinton), whose church has connections to an extremist group (monsieur Louis Farrakhan, candidate Obama) or have spoken some derogatory words towards Asians and Arab-Muslim women (McCain) - by the same measure - be even allowed to be considered a viable candidate for the presidency? As they say, it lets one think... Sent at: 2008 07 04
