An LGF reader emailed this photograph, showing Ron Paul at the Values Voters Presidential Debate in Fort Lauderdale on September 17, 2007. Immediately to Paul’s left: Don Black, the owner of neo-Nazi hate site Stormfront. If anyone knows who the creepy guy in the hat is, please post a comment.
Update: it’s Derek Black, Don’s son.

Instead, he's trying to collect as much money as possible -- from any and every conceivable source.
Wonder what he'll do with it...
Paul addresses this quite well in an inteview yesterday with Neil Cavuto:

These smears are repulsive to say the least, G W Bush and Reagan were smeared with this stuff, as the eventual Republican nominee this year will be, yet some ‘conservatives’ appear willing to stoop to the level of the left to attack one of their own.
Ron Paul is an absolute disgrace.
Worse yet he’s attracting scum to conservative events like rats to a dump.
LOL.
Paul has his picture taken with some nitwits at a debate, and now he is a racist. Got to love our free thinking society.
I am sure that night Paul and Carol invited the two over for dinner. s/
Great news for Ron Paul supporters, is that those who are undecided will see right through this sensational BS and come and support Ron Paul.
If you think I am kidding, watch as the new donor dollars goes up.
Much as I think Paul is on the kook fringe, I really kind of doubt he knew he was giving a photo-op to a couple of KKKer’s. You can be sure he knows it now, however.
Ping. I lifted this from a comment you posted earlier.
Paul keeps donation from white supremacist: Aide: take money and 'try to spread the message'
Ron Paul did a great job defending himself. I have never seen Neil so lost for words.
At this point you could have Paul in a 3 way with Black and his son on film and the true believers would deny that Paul knows them.
Ron Paul has had 100’s of Stormfront photo-ops. There is no way he can claim he had no idea who he was hanging out with and not appear like a total retard.
So he is either a nazi or a retard. Personally I think he is both.
Then there ought to be hundreds of photos.
Ron Paul is trying to get enough support, with help from the left via anonymous internet donations, to generate a third party challenge to the Republicans.
***Ron Paul has had 100’s of Stormfront photo-ops.***
GIve us the link to the photos.
You have to wonder why these pseudo-conservatives are getting so worked up about someone who has never gotten past the single digits in any poll.
Ron Paul posing for a picture with stormfront founder and his son ping
Little Green football and their posters are pretty darn good at spotting fakes. LGF exposed the fake guard docs run by Rather on CBS.
Yeah, there are hundreds of Ron Paul photos. Someone over at LGF discovered an unprotected file folder on the Stormfront server with 100s of Ron Paul photos. Post #191 and #226.
You are going to have to go over to the link at the top of this page, because no way am I putting a direct link to Stormfront on FR.
Wow. Now it’s just getting funny. Two schmucks out of hundreds approach him after a debate for an autograph and a picture and it’s supposed to say something about him. Looks like the neoconservatives have never lost the smear-tactic playbook they used against Goldwater back in the 60s when they were open leftists: “Racist, racist, racist! Squawk!”
***I strongly suspect this is photoshopped or the people are misidentified as being Don Black and his son.***
I do believe it is DB. I did a search and saw a photo of DB and the photos are of him.
I agree, it is a smear tactic. However, others will have fun teeing off on this one.
Thank you.
We don't have to wonder.
Isn't it plainly obvious that Ron Paul is the only candidate challenging the political orthodoxy, both directly in the issues he raises and, indirectly, in the way his supporters have skirted traditional fund-raising methods -- which his opponents greatly envy, by the way -- to achieve the visibility denied him by the major media?
He's the only major candidate not a member of the "club," much to the others' chagrin.

Post #191
CLASSIC!! I so agree with you. ROFL.
The lets throw something else up against the wall and see if it sticks mentality.
Cavuto leans pretty libertarian on economic matters. I think he has some sympathy for Paul's campaign.
They were spotted here on FR.
False! A freeper exposed the fake docs first.
This will be interesting but not surprising.
I heard M Savage just long enough today to hear him make a link to some neo Nazi on his support committee. It was around the 3 o’clock hour PST if he keeps transcripts. I don’t listen to the guy other than dialing for a station...
My apologies to the freeper that exposed them here too first then.
I am a freelance photographer. The photos are too low resolution to do a complete analysis, but they do not look manipulated. The lighting is consistant, and there is no evidence, that I can see, of photoshop cloning.
I will give Paul the benefit of the doubt here. He may not have known who these guys were, or may have just done the photo-op to get them off his back.
I’ve had my picture taken with the owner of the Bunny Ranch ( very nice man), yet never considered that line of work. Also in a picture with Colin Powell (who is a very nice man also by the way) but never supported his foreign policy. And, heaven forbid, I’m related to company CEO’s and outlaws. None of which has anything to do with my character and direction in life.

Thanks, I looked at the link. I saw the two photos posted earlier and 3 others on the link you gave me which I guess goes to stormfront? So 5 different photos is not 100. The exact same photo posted several times, would not count. Is there more and I am missing it?
There is an open file folder at Stormfront with 100’s of Ron Paul photo-ops in it.
The link is given in post #226 on the LGF thread. I am not posting a link to Stormfront on FR.
You guys must be joking right? Is that it? Two guys walk up and ask for an autograph and you think that means there's some kind of a conspiracy?
I wouldn't have any idea who those guys were either unless someone told me.
He had his picture taken with them and he accepted money from them. It’s time for the Paul fans to disprove it instead of asking us to prove it over and over and over again.
Did you happen to see the clip? Worth viewing if you haven’t already.
These guys do not ask about the candidates policies , they just want to know how they “feel” about some insignificant commercial, suit, tie, etc. When Cavuto asked Paul about the 500.00 donation, I think he did an excellent job. Sympathy or not, Neil was lost for words. Don’t think he was expecting Paul to answer the way he did.
Respect Neil for allowing Paul to answer the questions that were asked. Some of these guys just like to ask the question and start answering for them or talking over them.
I agree the picture does not change my mind one way or the other. However his other statements are way out there. That alone is the reason I have Paul at the bottom of my list.
“We know that he’s not a white nationalist. He says he isn’t and we believe him, but on the issues, there’s only one choice,” Black told the Associated Press today.

I don’t see photos that directly connect Paul to Stormfront or white supremacists, other than the fact that they are big fans and like to go to his events. All of the photos seem one way, none (other than the ones posted of him posed with the Blacks above)appear to be of him actually engaging with white supremacists.
Okay. So if I have a picture of someone, in any context, then that person “had a photo op” with me. Even if I’m nowhere to be seen in the photo?
He also took their money and refuses to return it.
Uh, he's in the photos.
