More of the same; Ron Paul campaign coordinator has KKK ties

January 31st, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Ron Paul has been bombarded with stories associating him with racial organizations and anti-Semites. Paul has generally shrugged off most of these allegations as false and unfounded. The recent charges of newsletters baring Pual’s name, many in which where most likely designed to seem that they were written by him. However, guilt by association is sometimes punishable. And now this recent news only seems to add to the speculation and criticism rather fair or not.

Many will say that Paul’s message attracts all sorts of people and he can’t be at fault for a few bad apples. Well my question to that is, why is that Paul is the one most associated with all these apples?

A Michigan volunteer for the Paul campaign is reportedly linked to the Ku Klux Klan. Reports are saying that, Randy G. Gray II, 27, of Midland, the Midland County coordinator for the Ron Paul campaign, is an organizer and speaker for the Knight’s Party of the KKK.

The state coordinator, Leslie Roszman, denied that anyone was aware of Gray’s involvement with racist organizations. They apparently didn’t look too hard into his back ground. A Dec. 18, 2005, Saginaw News article reports that Gray was responsible for submitting nationally known white supremacist James P. Wickstrom’s 90-minute presentation, ”The Enemy Among Us,” to the Midland Community TV public access channel and a 30-minute television program entitled “This Is The Klan” to Midland Community Television. In August, Gray posted a notice on an American National Socialist Workers Party Web log announcing his involvement in the campaign.

Gray made no apologies Wednesday for his involvement in the Klan. “I believe in free speech,” he said. “I’m conservative, I have libertarian views, but I also have racial views. …”I don’t fit the stereotype. I don’t have swastikas on.”

    Give it up–do you know how pathetic you bashers are starting to look? As bad as the MSM in their democratic debates. Doctor Paul is a good and decent man, this is a free country and strange days–get over it and stop trying to make something out of nothing

    You know, decades ago, when communists created popular front organizations to lure in the unsuspecting public, they kept it secret that they were Communists because they knew that would damage the credibility of the organization. But these racist guys who join the Paul campaign, they can’t wait to put it on the Internet. It kind of makes some of us wonder if they’re what they claim to be.

    You mean like the Obama campaign manager in Texas who had communists flag in her office? O’brien is correct, your trying to make something out of nothing.
