Remember the Flap?
The Lone Star Times has an exclusive post about Neo-Nazi White Nationalist Leader Don Black having contributed at least $500.00 to the Ron Paul for President campaign.
Flap has written about Stormfront.org and the in-kind advertising the Neo-Nazi website is donating to the Paul campaign.
And Flap wondered when and if the Ron Paul campaign for President would disavow HIS association with a Neo-Nazi and his White Nationalist web site.
The Lone Star Times has been in contact with the Paul campaign as has a reader of this blog

Hello,
It was brought to my attention through a blog post that the “Ron Paul 2008 – Raising to Win†online widget appears on the Stormfront web site.
Stormfront is:
“a white pride Internet forum with the motto “White Pride World Wideâ€. Many organizations describe it as a neo-Nazi organization, and accuse it of promoting racism, hate speech, and violence.

The blog post in question asserted that the Ron Paul campaign “placed†the ad on the site. Myself and others did not believe this was credible, given the type of site that it is, and learned that it’s a campaign widget that anyone can copy and paste on their web site. According to its statistics, the widget appears on over 2000 sites currently.So a couple questions:1) Is the Ron Paul campaign aware of and tracking all the sites that this widget is placed on? Do you actively filter which sites may or may not display the ad?
2) What is the campaign’s policy towards hate sites (such as Stormfront) advertising for Ron Paul’s campaign?
3) Will the campaign repudiate Stormfront and ask them to remove the ad?The blog post I referred to above can be found at:

Who sent the second email? We all know you didn’t.
FYI: Justine Lam (eCampaign Director) did reply to my email. She’s also having Jesse Benton (Communications Director) or Don Rasmussen (position unknown) follow up with me.
I’ll blog it when I hear from them.
