This post reminds me of a West Wing episode I watched the other night. In Season 4, Sam Seaborn is running for the California 47th. The President and all the senior staff fly out to help campaign for him. It ends up being a nightmare for Seaborn; partly due to a meeting Donna Moss has with a man who says he represents some farm labor group. It ends up, the man is the head of the communist party in Cali and a photog gets a picture of Donna sitting at breakfast or lunch with this man.
IE...it could be that Ron Paul knew full well who he was dealing with, or it could be that he wasn't fully aware who they were.
I looked at another site
HERE which claimed to post emails from Paul's campaign...and photos of Paul with neo nazis.
Problem with that is this: 1) Not one of those "emails" were from Paul himself, nor did they insinuate Paul knew them or acknowledged them; 2) the alleged emails were typed into the article, instead of attached as a document showing the header info (I could type something in a website and claim it's something it's not); 3) oooohhhhh there's a couple photos of Paul posing with these guys. Really? Do you know how many photos Paul takes with supporters at each event? I don't know either, but I'm sure it's an incredible number. And I doubt he personally knows each and every person he's asked to pose with.
