In the below entry made November 15, the ‘Global News Service of the Jewish People’ attacks Republican Presidential candidate, Congressman Dr. Ron Paul of Texas.  In it, they attack Stormfront online forum founder Don Black (who has donated to Dr. Paul’s campaign) as a ‘neo-nazi,’ a frequent charge with no basis in fact.  These attacks against Don Black are predicated on him being responsible for every post on the forums; the prospect of Black somehow micro-managing the site is truly ridiculous granted the site is run by numerous forum administrators, consists of multiple thousands of members, and contains several millions of posts.  The attacks against Dr. Paul mirror those launched against Montgomery C of CC leader Larry Darby, when as a political new-comer he sought the Democratic nomination for attorney general in 2006.

     “The Anti-Defamation League plans to ask Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul to distance himself from extremist groups.

     Paul, a U.S. congressman from Texas, has come under fire for the support his campaign has enjoyed from leading white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

     His campaign reportedly has accepted a donation from Don Black, the owner of the white supremacist Web site Stormfront. Sites for several extremist groups also feature prominent links supporting Paul’s candidacy. ADL’s assistant director of civil rights, Steven Freeman, told JTA his organization planned to communicate with Paul privately and urge him to distance himself from those groups.

      ‘If he doesn’t do that, then we will decide what we’re going to say publicly about it,’ Freeman said.

     Paul thus far has refused to return the campaign contribution from Black. In response to a question from a reporter for Reason magazine, a campaign spokesperson said, ‘If people who hold views that the candidate doesn’t agree with, and they give to us, that’s their loss.’

     The ADL previously has taken candidates to task for their ties to supremacist groups. Last year the organization slammed Larry Darby, a Democratic candidate for attorney general in Alabama, after he attended a meeting of the National Vanguard, a splinter group of the National Alliance. Darby was defeated.

     In October 2001, the ADL commended New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for rejecting a $10 million donation to a 9/11 relief fund from Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal. Giuliani, like Paul, is a Republican presidential candidate.”
