Was Paul unaware of the racist positions of these two when he hired them?
Did he continue in the dark?
Or does he agree with them?

He opposes Obama so the liberal line of thought is that he must be a racist.
Not a liberal so I couldn't speculate on that.
But are you suggesting that his frequent close association with racists (along with his statements about the 1964 Civil Rights Act) don't raise any flags? Just his opposition to Obama?
There was less association by Paul with racists than by Obama. Why aren't you asking whether Obama is a racist?
no, lets just stick to the merits of the op. We already know Obama associates with racial scum.
racial scum or racist scum?
So do Paul supporters approve of these associations or not?
I know each Paul supporter can only speak for himself or herself. No one can speak for an entire group of people. So I'm interested in hearing as many different viewpoints as possible.
Who cares? Nobody.
If Rand Paul supporters don't care ... then why don't they care?
I'm merely asking you to defend your assertion that Jack Hunter is a racist, and therefore Rand Paul must be as well. Hunter has made incendiary remarks certainly, but I don't believe I've ever heard him say anything racist.
I believe many of Hunter's "incendiary" remarks expose racism. You don't. That's fine.
The only one trying to "impune" anybody is you
We both know that is not true. Posting this only damages your credibility.

What "racists opinions?" So far I haven't seen anyone name any.

Because racist no longer has a meaning beyond "something a minority doesn't like." Coke ran out at the fountain? Racist. Need to fill out a form? Racist. Asked to be quiet at the library? Racist. Disagree with the president? Racist. I was called a racist because I objected to a lady cutting in front of me in line.
Unless the aides were pushing for laws to make blacks and Hispanics second class citizens with abrogated rights, it doesn't matter. Bigots are ugly, but that's not a crime.

Really? So you were aware of Hightower's MLK Birthday posting "Happy N----R Day" that included a picture of a black man being lynched?
As for Hunter:
He was an avid supporter of Sam Francis. Who wrote:
"We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called affirmative action and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races. "
- Sam Francis Council of Conservative Citizens Statement of Principles
Hunter compared Abraham Lincoln to Adolf Hitler and Ike Turner, and continued to profess the erroneous claim that the primary cause of the Civil War was not the fight over slavery, ignoring the decades of American history leading up to war, the vice president of the confederacy Alexander Pope's "Conerstone Speech," and South Carolinas very own Declaration of the Immediate Causes for Secession, which clearly note that protecting slavery was the preeminent motivation of state leaders.
Someone who knows Jack Hunter well and worked with him for years:

Lets convince the producers of the Patriot to reshoot a scene in which Spike Lee and Kweisi Mfume are both tied to trees while Mel Gibson whips the hell out of them, Hunter continued. Mr. Lee and Mr. Mfume will get the pity they so desperately desire, and millions of Americansespecially the Southern Avengerwill get a real kick out of watching them squirm.
Sothern Nationalist Network calling Hunter a coward because Hunter is now downplaying his racist views:

Rand Paul is an extreme ideologue; only extreme ideologues support him. Are some of the extreme ideologues racists? Yep, and some are misogynists, homophobic, psychotic and just run of the mill callous conservatives.
Perhaps we should spend less time calling people racists, and more time trying to fix actual problems.
Dude.
That IS an actual problem.
It's not the racism, per se..it's the racism IN GOVERNMENT.
you mean like Eric Holder, Barack Obama and the congressional black caucus?

I didn't say anyone committed a crime. I said Rand Paul has hired racists into his inner circle. If he is comfortable with that, then maybe some folks wouldn't be comfortable with him in the White House.
The PC Police have, in their never-ending efforts to control the conversation through intimidation, diluted a very important word. It's damn near a punchline now, and they don't even see it.
Sad, because the real racism that does exist (some fraction of what is claimed) needs to be identified and addressed. The law of unintended consequences, again.
But remember, they "care".

It's not the PC police..
I mean..seriously..what the fuck?
I don't know.
Nor do I know what those videos have to do with my post.

When you post crap like this you point out something..
The problem with racists is they don't understand racism. At all.

You seem to be saying the problem is the "PC police".
That's not the problem. The problem is the crap that real live GOP politicians are actually saying.
One of the dangers in creating entire classes of enemies is that the enemies will shortly out number liberals.
When everyone is a racist no one is a racist. The way racism is being used, by election day the word might well become meaningless. No one will care.
Perhaps we should spend less time calling people racists, and more time trying to fix actual problems.
