Alex Hern writes on the latest email dump from the hacktivist group Anonymous, featuring more revelations about racist Republican Ron Paul.
The amorphous internet collective known as “Anonymous” announced today that they have successfully attacked and overtaken the websites of American white supremacists American Third Position (A3P); in doing so, they have also, they say, uncovered evidence of close links between A3P and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.
In a statement on pirasec.com, Anonymous write:
Fellow anons: we are pleased to bring you the dismantling of a major US-based white supremacist network known as the “American Third Position”(A3P). These racist losers have chapters across the US, operate several white power websites, forums and online stores, and are even running a candidate in the 2012 elections…
In addition to finding the usual racist rants and interactions with other white power groups, we also found a disturbingly high amount of members who are also involved in campaigning for Ron Paul.
According to these messages, Ron Paul has regularly met with many A3P members, even engaging in conference calls with their board of directors.
Ron Paul’s racist politics and affiliations are already well known, being viciously anti-immigrant, anti-abortion and against gay marriage – not to mention having authored the racist “Ron Paul Papers” and receiving financial support from other white power groups (pictured with Don Black from stormfront.org [A large white-supremacist forum]).
Hard to believe Ron Paul draws some support from the left and the occupation movements, especially now that it is confirmed Ron Paul hangs out with straight up racist hate groups.
Ron Paul’s racism has been noted before.
In December, the Atlantic selected some of the most astonishing quotes from the newsletters he used to send out as a congressman, including:
“Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.”
“We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational.”
[After the Los Angeles riots] “Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks.”
[Martin Luther King was] “the world-class philanderer who beat up his paramours” [who] “seduced underage girls and boys.”
When asked on CNN about the newsletters, Paul walked out of an interview, denying he wrote them – although the Washington Post reports that he did indeed sign off on them.
Ron Paul is not, it appears, a particularly nice man; not even for a Republican presidential candidate.

The supposed file (anon_owns_american3p_nazis.zip) with all the data is not even working and the link is down. http://www.nazi-leaks.info/
Allegations require proof, which there is NONE to speak. And yet people keep writing articles on websites claiming proof when all they have is hearsay. It’s pathetic and childish to assert things without the proof to back it up
Guilt by Association is a tactic of the weak and desperate, and in itself is an ad hominem fallacy.
To suggest that because a candidate is supported by a group of people who associate with an ideology make said candidate complicit is wrong and dishonest.
The message of Freedom and Liberty, protected by a Constitutionally Bound Republic, resonates with all peoples. And no one group supports Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul, because his message brings all walks of life together.
Anyone with real understanding of Liberty also has faith in their neighbor, friends and family. We understand and believe in the notion that people when left to make their own decisions with their future can do great things.
We recognize and understand that in spite of it all, people are people and that no person should be punished for the benefit of the few. And that no person should be fined or imprisoned for the food or substances they have chosen to consume.
We recognize that freedom can manifest in all walks of life, and we have faith in ourselves and others to make their own choices on how to express it. As long as a person does no harm to others, expressions of freedom are healthy and empowering.
People can differ in this perspective, and groups will always want to impose it’s will upon another. But in a truly free society groups do not have rights. Only individuals do.
But this tactic we see in this article is the opposite of this ideology, for they themselves have declared themselves the moral compass for the masses. But they themselves have become a tool of oppression by breaking the law to fulfill their political agenda.
When a group of people have to resort to hate and violation of the law to promote their cause, they have become like the very monster they believe they are fighting.

The material in this statement is pure bunk. Anonymous should be campaigning for Ron Paul.

F*** anon if this is what they’re going to do. Ron Paul has no control over those individuals who support him — if Anon wasn’t retarded they’d figure that out.

Lol
Keep Trying Mainstream media
Anti immigrant ? No anti abortion and gay marriage ? Well those are moral personal decisions based on what you believe is right and wrong
Calling someone anti abortion is not really a reason not to vote for someone
Ron Paul would end the racist war in drugs
