presidential hopeful Ron Paul is to be honored by grassroots activists as the first Civil Rights leader of the 21st Century.
FreeAtLast2008.com - Ron Paul For President is a new website designed to generate a 10 million dollar plus cash infusion for Paul’s campaign along with nationwide marches to honor Dr. Paul and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Many of Ron Paul’s supporters consider him the first Civil Rights leader of the 21st Century for his tireless defense of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Paul voted against the Patriot Act and has made the defense of liberty a central theme in his campaign.

Didn’t know the Hitler youth handed out any civil rights awards.
Go figure.
When oh when will this end!
He can get all the awards and Nobel prizes he wants just so long as he does not become President.
Have you ever considered just IGNORING him? Has anyone ever suggested not wrestling with a pig because the pig likes it and you just get dirty? C’mon - you’re just feeding the beast.
The prize trophy could be a framed copy of his newsletter about MLK.
“Dunno about the source for this article.”
It would appear some follower of his set up a cheesy, amatuer looking website. This is non-news. Nobody is honoring him as a civil rights leader. This is likely just a really lame attempt at cover for the recent Stormfront association.
Sounds like Ron Paul is giving himself a civil rights Nobel prize. Hey, Algore got one for weather, right?
Ron co-sponsored this one. He’s too busy pandering to be racist.

“lame attempt at cover”
You might be on to something there.
The forum comments are fun.
Ron Who?
That’s as insulting as inviting Ahd-Mini-Dumb to speak at Cornell University.

If several months ago Don Black would have walked up to me and shook my hand, I wouldn't know his personal beliefs from the gum that's underneath my shoes.
So I don't understand why the photo continues to be posted here, especially on a candidate who is unlikely to win the GOP nomination and FReepers won't have to worry about soon anyway.
A good friend, that I respect supports Duncan Hunter. Good think because if you were the only supporter of his that I had experience with, I would have never even checked him out.
