Ron Paul finds minority cosigners

A black guy and a Mexican. Take that, New Republic!

When one of these Ron Paul nutjobs emailed me the other day to inform me that the president of the NAACP, Nelson Linder, had come out in defense of Ron Paul, I was like, "Oh, well in that case..."

I'd never actually heard of the guy myself, but then it's not like I keep up with the goings on at the NAACP; I didn't take them too seriously even before they held that mock funeral for the dreaded n-word. Still, I figured, if the president of the NAACP is coming to Ron Paul's defense, how bad can he be?

As it turns out out though, Nelson Linder isn't actually the president of the NAACP, but rather the president of a local chapter of the NAACP in Austin, Texas. Which makes me wonder, for example, how difficult it would be to have myself elected president of the (heretofore nonexistent) Creve Coeur chapter of the NAACP.

The other day, this guy Linder went on Alex Jones' radio program and said he knows Ron Paul personally, and can vouch for the fact that he isn't a racist.

"Knowing Ron Paul's intent, I think he is trying to improve this country but I think also, when you talk about the Constitution and you constantly criticize the federal government versus state I think a lot of folks are going to misconstrue that....so I think it's very easy for folks who want to to take his position out of context and that's what I'm hearing," said Linder.

However, since the thrust of this guy's argument involves the fact that Ron Paul poses a threat to the federal government (which presumably has agents with The New Republic and probably most other forms of liberal Jew-run media), let alone the fact that he was on the Alex Jones radio program, I'm just gonna assume this guy is one of those wacky Branch Davidian types.

If they could convince white people that David Koresh was Jesus, what's there to suggest they can't convince a black man that Ron Paul isn't a racist?

Speaking of which, I was also sent a link to a blog post called, "I am a Mexican-American, I worked for Ron Paul in the 1990’s, and I Know that Ron Paul is No Racist!" by a fellow named Stewart Rhodes.

The title of this one is fairly self-explanatory: This guy is a Mexican, and he used to work for Ron Paul back in the late '90s (presumably not just on his lawn), so how can Ron Paul be a racist?

I started to read it, but I didn't bother to finish it, because that shit was long, and I think I got the gist of it after the first few paragraphs. I did notice, however, that there were several pictures included in the post to help get his point across.

For example, there's no picture of himself, so that you'd know he's actually a Mexican (who ever heard of a Mexican named Stewart Rhodes?), probably because he's working on a fertilizer bomb in his basement and doesn't want the FBI to be aware of his whereabouts. But there is a picture of his great-grandfather, a rather gully-looking Mexican, who supposedly rode with Pancho Villa.

Later on in the post, there's a picture of four Branch Davidian women at the House Waco Hearings in July, 1995. One of them is obviously black (obviously), while the other one is either a Mexican or a lightskinted black woman. The caption reads, "I'll bet you didn't know they were so multicultural, did you?"

One question though: If these women were Branch Davidians, how come they didn't burn up? Obviously they weren't that Branch Davidian? Also: How is the fact that a few black people got burned up in a compound with a white man claiming he was Jesus supposed to convince me to vote for Ron Paul?

As the survivors of the Jonestown incident might have put it (if there had been any), I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid.
