Neither Heston nor MLK have much in common with Ron Paul.
"In a press release, Paul repeated that the quotations came from several other writers "when I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time," and again denounced and disavowed the "small-minded thoughts", citing his 1999 House speech praising Rosa Parks for her courage; he said the charges simply "rehashed" the decade-old Morris attack."

"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."

It was a white supremacist(not plural). I don't see why that money's tainted at all. The total was $500 dollars. Personally, I think it was responsible of him to not return the donation and instead use it for something just a wee bit more positive than the message of white supremecy.

I'm sorry, Seth, but actions speak louder than words. Accepting the money is one thing, and to keep it is political idiocy regardless of the spin, but to knowingly have his column in the American Free Press for YEARS is another.

The American Free Press is a "newspaper" run by a consipracy nut, holocaust denier and blatant anti-semite who has even had links on his page to Nazi propoganda. here is an interesting article about American Free press

Orf course Paul and his supporters would deny his nature, its obviously unpopular and pretty damn disgusting to the general populace. I prefer to judge a man by their actions, and Paul's actions are that of a bigot.
