      1. Sobering thoughts from @joshtpm on Ron Paul & his white supremacist fan base:http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/hard-to-handle …

      2. Stepping back a little, it's kind of amazing that Ron Paul hasn't gotten more flack for the newsletter & general racial politics

      3. Evidence has been out there for a long time that Ron Paul's political base built on overt appeals to white racial resentment.

      4. The stuff in the Ron Paul newsletter should have been challenged much more than it has been by libertarians & fellow travelers.

      5. Lots of people who liked Ron Paul for other reasons (anti-war, drug legalization) gave him a pass on the racism/homophobia stuff

      6. And of course, as @joshtpm notes, Ron Paul's warm grandfatherly persona gave him cover: "some sort of White Nationalist Mr Magoo"

      7. More broadly there is the whole issue of libertarians and race, which is complicated in its own right.

      8. Both in theory & historically, libertarians have a much better shot of appealing to non-whites than other American rightists.

          9. Libertarian critique of state as captured by rent-seeking elites is something that resonates with ethnic minorities.

          10. Historically some libertarians have been on specific issues very good on race: say A.J. Nock & Mencken on lynching.
