Not sure why socialists' views are most similar to Ron Paul's.

Well, Stormfront thinks that they are.

If Stormfront are wrong, obviously they've been misled, so Ron Paul should do the gentlemanly thing and return the money that wasn't intended for him.

Of course, if they're right, and Ron Paul is the candidate closest to the neo-nazis, he should keep the money.

Is it your position that the Ron Paul campaign should research all the extremely diverse and nuanced views of its (almost exclusively individual) donors and then return the donations of people with views that don't meet some arbitrarily determined similarity threshold? Really? Is this a reasonable demand in any sense?

No, that is not my position.

Of course not. No one demanded it.



My position is quite clear: If a donation is brought to a candidate's attention, and they fundamentally disagree with the well-known views of that donor, they should return it.

That, incidentally, I assume, is the position of almost every political candidate in the Western world. It is certainly very standard in Australia, where I work in the political system.
