First conspiracy theorists.

Then Nazis and other racists.

Now anti-Catholics for Ron Paul?

Historians and British schoolchildren remember Guy Fawkes as the Roman Catholic, anti-Protestant rebel who on Nov. 5, 1605, tried to assassinate King James I by blowing up the Parliament. Supporters of the Republican primary campaign of the libertarian Representative Ron Paul may remember Fawkes as a wildly successful fund-raising gimmick.

On Monday, a group of Paul supporters helped raised more than $4.07 million in one day — approaching what the campaign raised in the entire last quarter — through a Web site called ThisNovember5th.com, a reference to the day the British commemorate the thwarted bombing.

Now let's remember what the history of Guy Fawkes Day has always been -- the reveling in anti-Catholicism. Given the sort of hate-mongers already attracted to Paul's campaign, is this really a coincidence?

1 Looks like you are grasping at straws here. I am a Catholic and I gave to Ron Paul yesterday. It was inspired more by the movie V for Vendetta and people throwing out the corrupt politicians. The donation had everything to do with Ron Paul and nothing to do with Guy.

2 I agree with Sean. I like what Paul has to say..I don't agree with him on everything but I agree with him on a lot more than I do the RINOs and the Christian right wingers. Paul seems to understand that this country was built on freedom and an opportunity to succeed and not as the Christian right wing would have you believe..Christian moral principles. I am still supporting Thompson and Tancredo but if neither gets the nomination and Paul runs on a third party ticket he has my vote..and if he manages to get the GOP nomination..which I doubt..then he for sure has my vote.
