A poster at Ron Paul Forums got the general story straight, but missed on a minor detail with respect to Ron Paul and ongoing allegations of racism. The posting below describes a source as being “disgusting, vile, and repugnant;” I’ll provide additional graphic examples. Here’s his take [I’m cutting-and-pasting verbatim, formatting translation errors and all]:

One of Jamie Kirchick’s sources for the New Republic hit piece has outed himself. And I’m not talking about his Reason/Cato collaborators either. This source is much more disgusting, vile, and repugnant - so repugnant that Kirchick would never dare name him publicly in any of his articles. Kirchick’s vile source is Bill White, white supremacist extraordinaire, self-appointed Fuehrer of the U.S. nazi party, and vocal Ron Paul hater. Justin Raimondo first hinted at this possibility yesterday ( http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article…popular_front/ )so I decided to investigate further. I’ll get to the evidence shortly, but first I’ll comment on another ironic twist to this story. Bill White hates Ron Paul with a passion. He hates Ron Paul because - get this - he thinks Ron Paul’s campaign is infiltrated by “the Jews” and he cites none other than the Ludwig von Mises Institute (named after a Jewish economist and co-founded by another Jewish economist) as “proof” of this. So much for Kirchick’s “Ron Paul is an anti-semite” theme. So how do we know that Bill White is Kirchick’s informant? Because Bill White himself admitted it all over the dark little toilet of the internet he inhabits - a repulsive neo-nazi website called the “Vanguard News Network” (VNN) More importantly Bill White admitted it before Kirchick’s story broke. Along with a couple of “beltway libertarians” who have already been discussed, Bill White was the only person who knew this story was coming before it hit presses. That is because the New Republic called him for background on the newsletters. Bill White posts on the VNN site under the name “ANSWP Commander” (yes, for those who know their history that means American National Socialist Worker’s Party - as in Nazi - Commander). The sites this material comes from are hate-filled sewers and are not for the faint of heart, so be warned. The URLS are there if anyone needs proof, but the links are intentionally broken or redirected to google cache where it exists so we don’t give this scum any traffic. It is necessary to give the sources of them though because they reveal that Kirchick has been hanging out with some very shady company and he needs to be called out on it. Proof #1: Bill White’s post, made one week before the New Republic hit piece: Quote:





I spoke to the New Republic todayh, briefly. I don’t think I quite gave them as much information as they wanted.





Source: (vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=63682&page=19) Proof #2: Bill White’s post, made two days before the New Republic hit piece: Quote:



I am told that the New Republic has verified all my claims and is planning a huge front page story on this—they have even asked me not to give other reporters information so they don’t get “scooped”.





Source: (vnnforum.com/showthread.php?p=700083#post700083) Proof #3 Bill White’s statement yesterday where he admits his earlier communications with the New Republic: Quote:



Even I told the New Republic I didn’t think he was a “white supremacist”, just someone who takes money from “the movement”.

Hat tip: Justin Raimondo, http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article…popular_front/ CONCLUSION: Bill White knew about the New Republic story a week before it hit the web, and admitted this all over his putrid little neo-nazi website. He knew about it because the New Republic called him up for material in their coming hit piece against Ron Paul. Jamie Kirchick would never dare publicly credit somebody as disreputable as Bill White, but Bill White’s own statements prove beyond a doubt that he was one of the unnamed “sources” the New Republic contacted. How else could he know that this story was about to come out before it broke? The only other people who knew about it were Kirchick’s friends in the Cato/Reason crowd who got tipped off by Kirchick. But now we have proof that the New Republic smear piece came from a very disreputable source: the head of a neo-nazi party. People like Kirchick have an agenda to smear Ron Paul. They will yield to no boundary and stoop to any new low to conduct that smear, even if it means going to the nastiest piece of bigoted anti-semitic racist gutter trash on the web to do it. Of course Kirchick will never publicly put that in his text, but he didn’t need to because his neo-nazi source also has a big mouth.

I’ll start with the primary point where I disagree with Suarez’s posting: White wasn’t the only person who had advance notice. For example, I knew and I notified the campaign in advance on multiple occasions. Several others did, too. It was an open secret in certain echelons of the libertarian movement that the primary TNR article was going to be published, as too many players had either been interviewed or refused to respond to interviews. I had spoken with friends in the media, campaign staffers, current and/or former congressional staffers, LRC bloggers, and folks in the Reason crowd before much of this stuff was published. In several of these conversations, White’s name came up. This can probably be verified by my state Ron Paul chair, who was at my house one night when I took several calls, in his presence, pertaining to this general issue. I remember commenting on one call about the irony of names like Don Black and Bill White on an issue with racial implications.

The day before one major article hit, I learned that it was going to be covered a few hours in advance on Tucker from a couple of people. I knew about the general story weeks ahead of time. The night before another piece hit, several people called me from the Reason Happy Hour that Kirchick reportedly attended and told me he was blabbing about the pending publication. I was attending an Alabama GOP gala that night, and quite a few people noticed that I was on my cell phone a lot that night. Before the Economist story ran, I heard about that one, too.

To be clear, I’m not going to directly name my sources here. However, in most cases, I’ve had multiple credible sources who related the same general story about upcoming negative media pertaining to the Paul campaign. Two commenters on this particular Ron Paul Forums entry have indicated the same general picture.

A couple of people have asked if I personally know Kirchick. I don’t recall having ever met him before.

The rest of the forum entry seems to be fairly accurate from the bits and pieces of which I’m aware. I’ll provide examples of the racist agenda of White & Co. from a personal blog of mine. After my good friend Aaron Russo (one of the first prominent supporters of Ron Paul presidential campaign) died (Ron Paul went way out of his way to attend the memorial service), Vanguard posted the following:

Movies: Jew Russo Dies Jew behind “America: Freedom to Fascism.” Which makes some points about Fed and IRS, altho of course remaining within SC confines.

This led to a new blog entry:

Here’s my love comment of the day: I heard that Gordon is a well-known homosexual zionist who hates Christians. That particular comment came because of this posting, where I went after two media sources for depicting the death of a Jewish friend of Ron Paul in a negative light. One media source was mainstream, the other was from an anti-Jewish organization. To show how vile some of these people can be, just check out this comment: I won’t stand for Alex Linder being libeled in this way. He absolutely does favor the extermination of the jews! “Like I say, jews should be physically exterminated. That is not an extremist position, that is a moderate position. The extremist position is that they ought to be shot with silver bullets and have stakes driven through their hearts.”-Alex Linder Currently, Ron Paul is being accused of pandering to racists on quite a websites. Perhaps the most bizarre example is here, where the writer insinuates that Dr. Paul is a white nationalist because a racist site has a Ron Paul graphic on it. The title of the hit piece is “Ron Paul Watch: Paul Places Campaign Solicitation on Neo-Nazi Hate Site.”

For the record, I’m only half-Jewish and it’s on the paternal side. My dad is a Brooklyn born-and-bred Jew and my mother grew up in the Church of Christ in small town Alabama. With respect to the accusation of being homosexual, I’ll let my wife (or the women I’ve been known to ogle) answer that charge.

Additionally, I personally introduced Russo to a lot of the Mises crowd in 2004. I don’t remember everyone who was there, but some faces which come to mind belong to Lew Rockwell, Mark Thornton, John Sophecleus and Dick Clark. I never detected a bit of racism from them. To be equally fair, I know a lot of people at Reason who are Ron Paul supporters and some of the allegations from LRC and this Ron Paul Forums entry above may be a bit overblown.

To be clear, most Vanguard folks aren’t too happy with me. I received some not so cleverly veiled threats when I helped expose on a now dead website (HammerOfTruth) the racist tendencies of a certain Larry Darby, an ally of theirs, who was running locally for a statewide public office.

I’ve also spoken with Ron Paul many times, paid attention to the media he has generated for years and read most things he has written. I’ve never seen or felt a hint of racism from him. The other side of the coin provides that I’m not totally happy with all of his answers with respect to “NewsletterGate.”

The bottom line is that one should look at the sources and motivations of allegations against Ron Paul. It becomes important to examine such issues when the general source spouts quotes like: “Like I say, jews should be physically exterminated. That is not an extremist position, that is a moderate position. The extremist position is that they ought to be shot with silver bullets and have stakes driven through their hearts.”

Props.
