Snoop Dogg Endorsing Ron Paul Over Weed Stance?

*Snoop Dogg appears to be joining Kelly Clarkson as a celebrity endorser of GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul.

But while the “American Idol” singer prefers Paul’s hands-off approach to all things government, for Snoop, it’s all about the weed.

The rapper and marijuana lover appeared to grant his endorsement to Paul on his Facebook page late Monday, posting a picture of Paul with the headline “Smoke Weed Everyday.” Snoop Dogg — born Calvin Broadus — included the message “Because I said so” with his post. [See pic above.]

Snoop — whose most recent marijuana-related arrest occurred earlier this month, at the Texas border town of Sierra Blanca — is presumably drawn to Paul due to the libertarian candidate’s stance on drugs. Paul was a co-sponsor of the States’ Rights to Medical Marijuana Act, and supports the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008.

It’s unclear whether Snoop was aware of Paul’s reported history of signing his name to racially-charged newsletters in the 1990s. Late last year, Kelly Clarkson caught criticism after singing Paul’s praises.

“I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last Republican nomination and no one gave him a chance,” Clarkson said in a tweet. “If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he’s got my vote. Too bad he probably won’t.”

    Snoop, one more reason to support Ron Paul, is that he is the only one pledging to end the racist war on drugs. And if the judgment goes against you for that recent arrest, it would probably be less harsh had Ron Paul had his way.

    EUR, y’all need to get a clue. Ron Paul is the only candidate out there with a platform to fight the racism which Obama and the Democrats won’t do anything about.

    Y’all can talk all you want about Ron Paul’s racist past, real or imagined. But it’s all about what have you done for me lately. Your choice. Obama, a man who has never, and will never do anything explicitly to counteract racism. A man who can’t even acknowledge that the malady still exist. On the other hand, you have Ron Paul, who not only acknowledge the existence of a racist judicial system, but promise to do away with its most potent weapon for the mass incarceration of blacks. The so called war on drugs.

    will you please retract that part about the “reported racially charged newsletters” since that “report” has already been debunked and proven inaccurate. He didn’t write them, and he wasn’t even very involved with them in the 90s since he was already a congressman. It’s a pestilent rumor that has no merit and is entirely out of character and goes against everything that Ron Paul stands for. Furthermore he has on numerous occasion disavowed them, so please do your research before you go spreading baseless rumors and defaming someone’s character.
