Paul & His 'Tards

Ron Paul is at it again. Rather than make any sort of statement by actually turning down a campaign donation from "white nationalist" Don Black, Dr. Ron's flunky says:

"Dr. Paul stands for freedom, peace, prosperity and inalienable rights. If someone with small ideologies happens to contribute money to Ron, thinking he can influence Ron in any way, he's wasted his money," Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said. "Ron is going to take the money and try to spread the message of freedom."

Including, of course, the "inalienable right" to discriminate against people based not on behavior/actions but skin color, accent, ethnicity & so on. After all, it's a businessman's business, & he should be able to do anything he wants w/ it. Anything at all. It's his. A certain point is made by the flunky:

"And that's $500 less that this guy has to do whatever it is that he does," Benton added.

We'd still be more convinced of the Doctor's commitment to those "inalienable rights" were he to make a stand (& some noise) about how he's just not interested in money from "White Patriots." But we all know that the true libertarian commitment is to the "liberty" to get as much money, gold, arms & arable farmland as they can, by any means necessary, before their libertarian policies result in societal reversion to the feudalism under which they all think they'd do better. Natural law, survival of the fittest, & so on. As if some fuckwad of a computer consultant/electrical engineer/gamer in a clip-on tie & short-sleeved dress shirt will last five minutes in their version of the "New World Order." Pimps & Twits for Paul In other action on the Paul front, insufferable little twit & frozen food fortune step-heir Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson's "good friend," brothel owner/pimp Dennis Hof, of the Moonlite BunnyRanch, is impressed by Dr. P., & is "raising money for him."

"I'll get all the (working girls) together, and we can raise him some money," Hof told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "I'll put up a collection box outside the door. They can drop in $1, $5 contributions." [...] Paul spokesman Jeff Greenspan said Paul is a diehard supporter of states rights and an ardent libertarian who wants to return the purview of the federal government to what is articulated in the U.S. Constitution. Paul also is a devout Christian who opposes abortion. "On a personal basis, he doesn't condone those things," Greenspan said of prostitution. "At the same time, from his campaign perspective, it's not the role of federal government and it's not in the constitution for federal government to regulate these things."

Umm-hmm. So what's the deal on, say, gay marriage? Will a marriage in one state be honored/respected in a state that doesn't allow it? Isn't that one of those constitutional thingies? And what constitutional amendments might the Dr. favor? As to the insufferable twit™:

Hof was accompanied to the Paul news conference by television news personality Tucker Carlson, who is traveling with Paul for a magazine article he is writing. "Dennis Hof is a good friend of mine, so when we got to Nevada, I decided to call him up and see if he wanted to come check this guy out," said Carlson, who hosts the show "Tucker" on MSNBC.

Isn't that nice? Do you think Tucker would like any of his daughters to work for his "good friend" Mr. Hof? Hell, we'd give up our hippie free love ethos for an hour & pay for it if it were one of Tuck's spawn. Yes, we'll wait 'til she's eighteen. While it's one thing for Rep. Paul to accept money (w/ faint condemnation)from "White Patriots," which may take some funds away from whatever patriotic white activities they're up to, but it's a bit different to accept it from "working girls" & their pimp, whose money comes directly from activities Doc P. "doesn't condone." Although it's not clear how much of the pimp's own profits on the backs of the "working girls" will be going to the campaign. Sounded like he'd be getting the money straight from the prostitutes & the collection box. Will the not so good but "morally neutral" Doctor be accepting money from (illegal) drug-dealing profits next?
