From Ron Paul For Dummies
Ron Paul makes a good case as a Libertarian, that if you really are a Libertarian and don't just call yourself that to defend either economic or civil liberties, that you can't be both a racist and a Libertarian, it has to be one or the other. Because if you're a Libertarian, you believe in individual liberty because you believe in individualism. But if you're a racist no matter which race you're a member of, you judge people as groups generally in a negative way.

I definitely believe Ron Paul is a Libertarian and not a racist, but he's made some statements in the past about Israel and other Jews that could be viewed as racist and has been associated with people that have made racist statements about African-Americans that could be viewed as racist.
However Representative Paul has been associated with these Far-Right groups (loosely or otherwise) that he's going to have to explain in a satisfactory way for him to have any chance of being elected President of the United States. Or even win the Republican nomination.
