In an article a while back in Human Events magazine, he said something like; his unyielding isolationism that might have been appropriate for another era is not realistic...He does not believe, as we do, that America must win the war against the terrorist-sponsoring nations. We find intolerable his repeated statements that we were attacked on 9/11 because we had a presence in the Middle East. That implies that we were, in whole or in part, to blame for the attacks.....
I also seem to recall someone pointed out a few months ago that the only candidate Williams has donated money to is Romney.
Paul's campaign is taking one positive statement by Williams and trying to say it is an endorsement: http://people.ronpaul2008.com/endorsements/2007/12/21/walter-e-williams/
“I would love to see a link where Williams ‘officially’ endorsed Paul. Williams’ exact quote regarding the race was “I personally think that if we chose the president of the United States at random, we’d get a better president than any president since Ronald Reagan,””
Sigh
Williams was questioned about whether he might run for the Presidency by the Washington Times.
He said no, and added:
“If the framers of the Constitution were somehow to come back, Ron Paul is one of possibly only three people in Congress that they’d even talk to.”
Can’t find the original but it was cited by John Fund of the Wall Street Journal.

Incorrect - none of the walter williams who have given are Walter E Williams, the economist.
Regardless of whether Williams endorsed Paul or not, he's absolutely right about this.
