The Anonymous collective has hacked into and defaced the website of an American nationalist party, claiming it had connections with Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.
Hackers attacked and took possession of the website belonging to American Third Position (A3P), a white nationalist party which allegedly has connections with neo-Nazi and extreme right-wing organisations.
A statement posted on the hacked homepage claims that the organisation attempts to maintain a professional public image to hide its underbelly of racism and xenophobia. The hack includes several private messages from forums, personal emails, notes, names, phone numbers and home addresses of A3P members

Anonymous also claims that the organisation has links with Republican candidate Ron Paul. "We found a disturbingly high number of members who are also involved in campaigning for Ron Paul," the statement said, adding that Paul had regularly met with many party members and even engaged in conference calls with its board of directors.
Another target of the hack was the A3P webmaster, Jamie Kelso. According to the hacker collective, Kelso, a former Scientologist and organiser for Paul campaign events, is also the account owner of neo-Nazi forums and websites.

The hacktivists said they also hacked Kelso's credit card and made donations to anti-fascist organisations, such as the Anti-Defamation League.
"We call upon not only other anti-fascists but all those opposed to white supremacy to utilise this information and make hell for these white nationalist scumbags," the statement added. "It is essential, if we wish to live in a world free from oppression, to expose and confront racists at their jobs, their schools, at their homes and in the streets."
The Anonymous hacks are part of an ongoing campaign called Operation Blitzkrieg, which is aimed at attacking and exposing the websites of neo-Nazi organisations in Europe and the United States.
The AP3 hacks follow up on its previous assault in Finland, which disabled websites belonging to several German neo-Nazi groups and published members' names.

Love the message Ron, but I'm not going to join the blind supporters trying to excuse this shit. I'm saddened and disappointed. Especially because it wasn't about the man, but his message. A message that will now be tied to Ron and his bullshit.
Of course white supremacists would support someone like Ron. He'd allow them to shutter their businesses to whomever they'd like. And I agree with that. I also don't believe a business that discriminates would do very well financially. But it's your business. Drive it in to the ground as you see fit.
Along those same lines, any fringe type group would likely vote Libertarian. They want the freedom to be idiots, I say let them expose themselves as much as possible and face the public ridicule and financial drain of being a piece of shit.
But I'm already reading all of the "ha I knew it" posts all over the internet from people that mistake wanting freedom for all, even idiots, as racist policy.
But I honestly believe Libertarian ideals make things more equitable for all people. The drug war being a huge component, as well as immigration and war policy. I won't spell them out here because this isn't a thread to defend Libertarianism per se as much as it is me sharing my disgust about Ron.
Hopefully a credible and decent candidate will eventually carry the torch for Libertarianism on a national and potentially presidential stage again, or hopefully something comes out that puts a different light on all of this.
