ADL Taking Concerns To Ron Paul

The Anti-Defamation League plans to ask Republican presidential
candidate Ron Paul to distance himself from extremist groups.

Paul, a U.S. congressman from Texas, has come under fire for the
support his campaign has enjoyed from leading white supremacist and
neo-Nazi groups.

His campaign reportedly has accepted a donation from Don Black, the
owner of the white supremacist Web site Stormfront. Sites for several
extremist groups also feature prominent links supporting Paul's
candidacy. ADL's assistant director of civil rights, Steven Freeman,
told JTA his organization planned to communicate with Paul privately
and urge him to distance himself from those groups.

"If he doesn't do that, then we will decide what we're going to say
publicly about it," Freeman said.

Paul thus far has refused to return the campaign contribution from
Black. In response to a question from a reporter for Reason magazine,
a campaign spokesperson said, "If people who hold views that the
candidate doesn't agree with, and they give to us, that's their loss."

The ADL previously has taken candidates to task for their ties to
supremacist groups. Last year the organization slammed Larry Darby, a
Democratic candidate for attorney general in Alabama, after he
attended a meeting of the National Vanguard, a splinter group of the
National Alliance. Darby was defeated.

In October 2001, the ADL commended New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani
for rejecting a $10 million donation to a 9/11 relief fund from Saudi
Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal. Giuliani, like Paul, is a Republican
presidential candidate.
