Paul’s connection to white supremacists has been well known by many libertarians and I’ve commented on this previously, including noting that Rockwell was the likely “ghost writer” a few days ago. I’ve most recently summarized here the case that, while Paul uses pro-freedom language, ultimately Paul’s views are not pro-freedom.

Reason recently demonstrated that, contrary to Paul’s denial, Ron Paul has previously acknowledged knowledge of the article and defended their content.
