Republican Ron Paul and Media Ignorance

[Protester]

Yeah, I never understood the tendency for racial minorities to define and organize themselves by race. It's rather counterproductive to engineering an end to racism.

the above was an answer to,

… personally launched a campaign entitled "Whites For Paul", we'd hear shrill cries of "Racism!".
But a deafening silence greets Obama's appeal to racial political preferences.....

I smell a double standard.

Unfortunately, Ron Paul's supporters do that for him. He seems to have followers, Archived-Articles: The Odd Alliance Supporting Ron Paul The sad thing they seem to make up a too large a percentage of Republican voters, usually around 12%. If it was only 1% it might be tolerable, but that is just too high a rate to go unnoticed. By the way, many of us think that if your are anti-Israel, it is just a code word for being anti-Semitic. Ron Paul defends Hamas, blames Israel for 2009 war and more

Pretty hollow criticism. Some nasty people like him? Meh....this is true of all politicians, including Obama & Bush.
But I don't prefer Paul to them because of good or bad traits their various supporters have. I look at what the
candidate has done & would do in office.
This fallacious focus has this origin:
People disagree with Ron Paul but like his candor & parts of his agenda, eg, drug legalization, anti-war.
But criticizing his favoring Constitutional limits on government doesn't inspire fervor, so some other demonizing
chink in his armor is needed. Hey, presto.....criticize someone easily hated, & link them to Paul. Very weak
argument indeed.
