Pimps for Paul
Posted by Eric Seymour on 30 November 2007 | 2 responses
To the list of less-than-savory individuals who support Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, you can now add a brothel owner. Since Paul’s libertarian political views allow for legalized prostitution, he has won the endorsement of Dennis Hof, owner of the (in)famous Bunny Ranch in Nevada. Hof has pledged to place a donation box for Paul outside the door of his brothel.
Without a doubt, Paul’s libertarian acceptance of legal prostitution shouldn’t be construed as personal condonement of the practice, nor should he be judged by his supporters. A slightly more interesting question, however, is will he accept donations from the owner and patrons of a brothel?

Considering his refusal to reject donations from white supremacists, the real question is: is there anybody whose money he won’t accept?

Good question. What was his answer to the “Log Cabin Republicans” question from the Youtube debate?
