.. it's an additional place. Where is the first place and who (specifically) might it be that Ron Paul is "popular" with?

Just asking.

Some folks might be led to conclude that the OP wasn't being quite sincere.

Hmmmm.

I'd advise against going there, an analyst for DHS once told me that she can do her job most days monitoring domestic hate-groups by reading about 5 websites...Stormfront is one of them. I'm pretty sure DHS and FBI log their web-traffic and IPs.

Think Free Republic, but with absolutely no shame about their racism. I think they actually contemplated supporting Obama in 2008 because they believed his election would hasten the "coming race war". These people are the RAHOWA-14-words nutjobs you see on the news burning down black churches.

And they endorse Ron Paul.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormfront_%28website%29

Stormfront is a white nationalist and supremacist[1] neo-Nazi[2] Internet forum that has been described as the Internet's first major hate site.[3]

Stormfront began as an online bulletin board system in the early 1990s before being established as a website in 1995 by former Ku Klux Klan leader and white nationalist activist Don Black. It received national attention in the United States in 2000 after being featured as the subject of a documentary, Hate.com. Stormfront has been the subject of controversy after being removed from French and German Google indexes, for targeting an online FOX News poll on racial segregation, and for having political candidates as members. Its prominence has grown since the 1990s, attracting attention from watchdog organizations that oppose racism and antisemitism.

The website is structured as a theme-based discussion forum with numerous boards for topics including ideology, science, revisionism, homeschooling, and self defense. Stormfront also hosts news stories, a merchandise store, content aimed at children, and extensive links to racist organizations. The site has a logo featuring a Celtic cross common to neo-nazi iconography surrounded by the motto "White Pride World Wide".

Sullivan likes "The Bell Curve", I imagine he's popular over there..

Personally I wouldn't know since that's not somewhere I'm comfortable logging on.

I think it reflects positively on the need for drastic action on illegal, preemptive wars of aggression, the Drug-War industry, and the machinations of the F.E.D.
-and negatively on the apparent third-rail status of this need in the "mainstream"

who is going the white supremicist route. Hitler was a hero, Jewish propganda regarding mass exterminations never happened, etc etc etc. I'm almost embarassed for his bitter, hateful diatribes. I don't understand this except as a failure in work and life in general it's a way to make himself feel superior to others and to place a blame elsewhere for his own lack of focused effort in getting ahead in life?? Anyway, he has several pro Ron Paul posts mixed in with the hate messages...so the link above comes as no surprise to me.
