I think certain groups like the idea of getting the federal government out of individual rights. Many in these groups believe that civil rights laws was a violation of their individual rights... right to use your private property as you see fit - even if it's a retail business. I have been working in new orleans for the last 2 months. A black radio host had a guest and stated that the black community had "lost something" when the government integrated the schools. The discussion was about young black males not having role models they could relate to or something. So it's not just white people that question the benefit of at least some of these programs.

[...] voor het Amerikaanse presidentschap - ware het niet dat de Republikeinse kandidaat vooral door racistische blanke mannen wordt gesteund. Ron Paul is een anti-globalist en een magneet voor nazi-netwerken beweren sommigen. [...]

In my meetup group in Miami, FL, the majority of Ron Paul supporters are hispanic, since that is the majority in Miami. I am a hispanic female. Every candidate will attract fanatics and that is fine. They have the right to vote as well and I don't begrudge them one bit. We don't all see eye to eye, but peace, liberty, and freedom is attractive to us all. God willing, Dr. Ron Paul will be President in 2008.

They came from the west....

Ron Paul will put an end to our distorted view of America. Lets get back to the basics on which this country was founded. Ron Paul is not anti-government. He is pro-constitution.

Do not forget the antifascists like me who support Paul. I have had my share of fistfights with nazi skinheads and racisr hicks so don't you judge! I am willing to wage money that the antifascists easily outnumber the racisrs. Peace!

Goodness,people will stop at nothing to smear my candidate! It is a bit ironic that as a 30 yr BLACK republican(yes,some of us can be republican) female that you would call supporters of Ron Paul "rascists". This is a label that I have not been accused of yet, except through this blogger. I think this article is tasteless and speaks of the "true" rascist being this articles author. Ron Paul truly does speak for average american citizens and their "civil rights". Get used to it sirs. Ron Paul in 2008!

A candidate that not only supports the Constitution, but sounds as if he's actually read it! I've found where my vote is going. I am sick of the political class of enemies of the Constitution that have been in charge. Clean house, vote for Ron.

To my fellow Paulites: Calling people idiots, especially those like this author, is a bad idea. Making blanket statements that "Paul" is the only one who can "save us" makes you look illogical. Combating points the author makes with sound arguments is the only way to go. Which begs me to ask the author: Don't you think the title of your article is intentionally inflamatory? You paint the picture that Paul's typical supporter is a rascist western man. Your word play merely manipulates the supporting statements. Yes, Paul is supported by a few rascists.. which likely is represented by a few small groups of a hundred people out of hundreds of thousands of people. And yes Paul is supported mostly by Western Men. But to say Paul is supported by Rascist Western Men is a logical fallacy. Maybe, your article could at least be titled more accurately: Paul supported by Racists, Western Men. Or maybe it would have been much more accurate if the author would have titled this piece: Paul is supported, like every other candidate by a few rascist people, and Western Men. The author's play on words seems to upset Paul's supporters, and rightly so. However, when their comeback is "You idiot, he is the only who can save us," it's no wonder why outsiders view his supporters as apeshit nuts.

Grew, Just google "Ron Paul" I don't pretend to speak for those more educated than myself. I'm in favor of education, preserving the environment, energy independence, organic and sustainable stewardship of our environment and a host of other things. The points where Ron Paul resonates are that he is in favor of devolving these discussions and responsibilities to the individuals and localities most effected by these issues and eschewing the idea that central planners in DC can come up with "one size fits all" solutions to all of our problems. You might recall the furor over "unfunded mandates" emanating from the Feds back in '94? I've got a problem with "mandates" from anywhere whether they be funded or not. Best, Patrick

A question for all the Paul supporters that have flooded the comments.
What positions does Paul have, other than getting out of Iraq, that a majority of the country can get behind?

Paul's support will be limited by some of his more extreme positions. No DOE, EPA, FDA, etc.
