Maybe those questions can now be answered.
The New Republic has been wondering why so many fringe groups are attracted to Ron Paul and thinks they have an answer. They have gone back and checked many of his past writings and a newsletter he used to publish. Their conclusions are not pretty for a guy running for president.
If Paul was a major candidate, his campaign would be completely dead because of these allegations.
Keep in mind it is TNR, but we will see if any of this information gains legs. They will also be publishing the transcripts of Paul's papers.

http://pajamasmedia.com/2008/01/ron_paul.php I might add, on a personal note, that as a libertarian with significant sympathy for Paul’s platform, I initially viewed claims of his past history of racism skeptically. But the evidence is so overwhelming that the defense of Paul is now, itself, indefensible.
This could also explain why he refused to return campaign donations from the neo-nazi leader of Stormfront.

The Paulbots screamed 9-11 was an inside job. Clinton rightfully said they were nuts.
