Questions on the Ron Paul & Stormfront assocation
from what I can see online, it looks like the neonazis at Stormfront (SF) supported Paul and linked to Paul's site so members could donate to him.

However, since I'm at work, I'm hesistant to do too much digging on neonazis and their groups.

My questions are:
1) Were donations given to Paul's campaign through SF? I assume yes, but I can't say for sure.
2) Were these donations returned once the link was discovered?
3) Did the Paul campaign apologize for taking money from SF and/or block any future donations from SF and similar organizations?

Thanks

2. Even with the amount of racism in today's America
I don't think that would play too well with many...

3. $500 was donated to the Campaign by Stormfront
RPFP has not yet repudiated this donation and seems to be waffling:

"We hadn't thought of these options but I'll bring up these ideas with the campaign director. Blocking the IP address sounds like a simple and practical step that could be taken. I doubt there is anything we can do legally. Tracking donations that came from Stormfront's site sounds more complicated. I'm concerned about setting a precedent for the campaign having to screen and vet everyone who makes a donation. It is important to keep in mind is (sic) that we didn't solicit this support, and we aren't interested in spending al of our time and resources focused on this issue. We want to focus on Dr. Paul's positive agenda for freedom."

The author of the "Turner Diaries" is one of his campaign organizers in TN.

amazing
they think it's an issue to screen every donor, yet Hillary Clinton is in the news for weeks over one donation from Norman Hsu. WTF? Is she supposed to screen every donor?

9. Don Black, that's the name I forgot.
He's a Nazi-money-receiving-denying-deceiving shit.
