When KKK leader David Duke switched parties to run for Louisiana governor as a Republican in 1991, then-President George H W Bush responded sharply, saying, "When someone asserts the Holocaust never took place, then I don't believe that person ever deserves one iota of public trust. When someone has so recently endorsed Nazism, it is inconceivable that someone can reasonably aspire to a leadership role in a free society."
Just to stray off topic for a second, I find it unbelievably ironic that HW Bush would make such a statement, considering his father helped fund the Nazi's into power.
As far as Kathianne's accusations, blogs are not a source. They are opinions.
As far as that article, Ron not denouncing someone who supports him does not categorize him as having the same opinion of said supporter.
Why should he anyway? This is fucking AMERICA. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and moreover, everyone who meets the legal requirements is entitled to VOTE.
I'm sure you could find something like this about every candidate running. There are people who support every candidate that have views that other people would not agree with. Using this logic that candidates not accept support from certain people, would end up alienating the voting population as a whole. Virtually no one would be voting, because they may have views that don't jive with someone else's. It's stupid.
I could make the same argument about Giuliani supporters, and their rabid desire to go pre-emptively attack Iran. A nuclear attack on Iran would cause a humanitarian and ecological disaster in that region, but so many of Giuliani's supporters advocate such a thing.
This is ridiculous Kathianne. Until you come back here with something that implicates Ron in some type of crime, or corruption, your smeer attempts are useless.
