I would donate double of what is not campaign money and out of my own pocket to help poor black people in Africa.

If you did not already know recently Ron Paul received $500 from a white supremacist group for his campaign.

He should make a point to donate the $500 to an African relief fund in the name of the White Supremecist organzation that donated the funds.
He should also refuse to comment on the matter. The action would speak for itself.

Keep it. If the white supremacist wants to give his money to candidates that is his choice. I'm Hispanic and I don't see anything about Paul keeping that money. Why woud he donate money to black people in Africa? The white supremacist is racist against Asians and Hispanics too. You're making a big deal about this small issue.

I like your idea of donating double out of my own pocket to help poor black people, but I'd help those in America first.
Paul was right, however, in not refusing the donation. This is a free country, and we are free to express ourselves (as any listener to Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter or Howard Stern will attest) regardless of how it offends or repulses people. The KKK white supremacists have just as much right to spread hatred, prejudice, bias, and bigotry as do all the toxic mouthpieces that invade our airwaves every day.
If we don't allow racists to contribute to political parties, how can we justify allowing rapists, prescription drug abusers, pedophiles, alcoholics and atheists to support their preferred candidates? -RKO- 12/20/07

I think that the real concern is not who donated the money or whether he denounces the group...the real issue is that the conservative movement was hijacked by Fundamentalist Christians who used the power of their money to control politicians...so is it likely that Paul will began to work the beck and call of these racists?

Even though someone is a racist, they have a right to donate money. He should keep it if he desires.

I don't have a problem with this. I have more of a problem with Exxon. They are causing us a hell of a lot more pain than the KKK.

I would denounce the person or people who sent it first. Then I'd send it back with "Drop Dead" written on it.

donate it to Byrd. He was in the KKK and degraded our brave black soldiers.

Why not help poor people in America, and not discriminate by race?
