Maybe this explains the racism that has poked its head into DU, of late.
From the Article:
White Power Anarchism?
Among articles celebrating the rise of fascism in Ukraine, whitepower.us published an article last month called Ron Paul, Libertarianism, and The Anarchist Connection. Celebrating an unlikely combination of Murray Bookchin and former speechwriter for Barry Goldwater, Karl Hess, the article proposes an anarchic struggle of the individual against institutions. Ron Paul then becomes a jumping off point for a possible national front under the guise of libertarian promises of freedom.
hether Ron Pauls campaign machine would now consider an outreach to include a visible left componentperhaps the OCCUPY movementis probably not in the cards However, it is tempting to imagine a new fangled party styled on Libertarian lines: principled, but with fresh blood, a refreshed agenda and a something-we-can-all-agree on platform. Down the road this sort of movement might gain some real political traction; especially if we keep racing down the path towards more muscular restraints on personal freedom.

There are many criticisms to be made of Obama that have absolutely nothing to do with race though.
