"Tolerant" of evil is itself evil. To "tolerate" racism is to regard it as acceptable--and thus to condone it. And yes--that makes him a racist. And, BTW, is absolutely contrary to the libertarian philosophy that he claims to represent.
Or--to quote the libertarian's favorite author: "In any 'compromise' with evil, only evil can win." (Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged")

Just because racists like David Duke support Ron Paul doesn't mean Ron Paul supports them or their beliefs!
I would offer that Jeffery Dahmer probably voted and supported the candidate he liked but that in no way means that candidate is a serial murdering, flesh eating, self hating homosexual, like Dahmer was!

I don't know, and I don't care.
The politicians win -- I'm giving up on giving a damn about politics or this country anymore. I'm just too damned tired of swimming upstream through the river of mediocrity and blindness that is 90% of American citizens nowadays. All they want is their "American Idol" and their technological gizmos and all the other things that divert them from that nasty thing known as "reality" -- well, except reality television of course, because that can't possibly be scripted and edited to have a storyline, right?
I'll continue voting, but I won't cheer or feel sad when whomever I vote for does or doesn't win. This country is going down the toilet now, all thanks to an idiot from Texas. The "nail in the coffin" to me is that Habeus Corpus is still suspended. Utterly sad.

Neither! He has said that he does not support or condone the racist organizations that contributed to his campaign. What else is he supposed to do to prove that he isn't a racist? Is he supposed to tell people not to give him money? Yeah! All the other candidates are doing that too.

Tolerant of racists. Paul is as staunch a defender of the Constitution as you'll find in D.C. and that includes the First Amendment.

Another silly person trying to stir up trouble. Hey, chief, Paul won't get past N.H., so why attack the poor guy???
And I LIKE the Man...Good Ideas, and the bad ones can be controlled by a Democratic Majority.

Why, is he a friend and tolerant of Democrat Senator/Klan leader Robert Byrd?
