as ron Paul once said, it doesn't really matter who supotts a candidate with money...Even If the kkk supported Obama, show me how Obama supports the kkk.

If you need me, I'll be in the threads talking about real issues... Not arguing over what some ignorant gangster rapper has to say about ethics/morals.

I certainly see your point, but, as a matter of ethics and principals, isn't it hypocritical to accept money from groups you cannot or will not EVER identify with? If Nambla was going to give me a donation in my run for local mayor (no, not really...just an example) should i accecpt it because its money and it all spends the same? Or should I kindly decline the donation, knowing that by taking it, I've implied tha tthe group is at least worthy of my recognition? Isn't it misleading to accept support from a group YOU never plan to return the support for? FWIW, my feelings on this issue have nothing to do with any candidate....I just see some hypocrisy in the practice, regardless of who does it.

No offense TM42 but aren't most politicians hypocritical anyway? Not that I believe anything that snoop would say about politics. I highly doubt a black man running for president would accept donations to his campaign from the KKK or that the KKK would give donations to a black man's campaign....It just doesn't make sense. However TM42 I definately agree with your statement about the acceptance of donations from groups that you support or believe in.

Well hey, it could be true. Nobody really knows WTF's going on behind the scenes.

Anything's possible I guess but that type of situation just doesn't seem very likely.

I'm sure that Snoop's opinion will make the biggest difference in this election...

I know that what Snoop Dogg said is certainly more influential to my vote than all the negative campaign ads that McCain's camp is broadcasting, or the findings on Sarah Palin in Alaska (breached the code of ethics).

SARCASM.



Since when does a former pimp have a place telling others his political views?

He supports the kkk by just recieving the money.
even though he considers himself to be african american and know the history, why would he accept the funds? Unless thier is an unforeseen agenda. He always states throughout some of his speeches that he is for the constitution, well to my knowledge
the constitution was not written with a specific race in mind like the african americans they called
slaves and felt as though african americans were not equal to them, and being that the kkk to my knowledge
have involvement in hate crimes and he claims he's against hate crimes then why
would he recieve the funds? All I'm saying is Obama is shakey, as well as McCain.

As an Atheist/Democrat, I accepted 50cents from 2 extremely right-wing Republican Christians for a nice cold Dr. Pepper. I am a HUGE hypocrite.

No, no, no, no, no, and wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

If *you* want to question whether or not Obama taking money from the KKK means he supports the KKK, then *you* may do so... but all you will be doing is coming to your *own* conclusions.

The reality is that just because someone takes money from a group (especially if they are receiving millions of dollars from many different groups, and thus don't know for certain where the money is always coming from), that in no way is evidence of support.

I think Ron Paul said it best when FoX news tried to get on his case about accepting money from a white supremacist.

The KKK giving money (and again, im not saying I agree its true, just going with the thought) to Obama only says the KKK supports Obama... it doesn't mean Obama supports the KKK.

And if you think the KKK is so bad, are you trying to say you would rather Obama give back the money so the evil KKK can use it on something else?

Isn't it better for such a horrible group to have less money?

Here's teh video I was talking about:


The logic starts @ 3:20

SpiralArchitect

If we are going to start judging candidates from their contributions and thinking that whomever gives them money, the candidature supports, let's consider all the individual people who donate to campaigns. Criminals, pedophiles, dope smokers, drug users, felons, creeps, racists, etc.



@ that vid:
"Would it help those who don't know you, to know that warm and fuzzy side of Ron Paul?"
"Well, I would hope so, well, I have warm and fuzzy positions.... I believe in freedom and limited government, [leaving] the people alone"

Oh, I love you RP.
