Today at the far right fever swamp known as Free Republic, somebody posted a link to our latest article about Ron Paul’s connections to the white supremacist subculture, which led to an amusing and revealing sequence of comments.

First, the wingnuts tried to argue that associating with neo-Nazis might not be so bad, and might even be necessary to “turn this country around.”

So what. Obama publicly talks to La Raza, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the NAACP.

I don’t require hackers to reveal to me that Ron Paul is associated with neo-nazis or neo-fascists. This has been pretty common knowledge around Texas for years and those are the kind of people in his district that keep electing him and supporting him. But what the hell? Maybe we will need that to turn this country around.

Then, when it finally sank in that they were talking about an article at Little Green Footballs, they dropped this uncomfortable line of discussion and united to attack their common enemy instead:

Let’s keep this an LGF-free site.
No conservative goes there anymore.

I’ll put more credence in this when it’s reported somewhere other than LGF.

Why are you posting stuff from LGF? You might as well post from Daily Kos or DU.
