I asked him if that was necessary given that Ron Paul has pretty harsh views on immigrants and he most likely doesn’t like brown people like me. The guy looked puzzled and said “no, he doesn’t”. A few seconds later he added “okay, maybe he does. I don’t know, man”.

This is an example of Ron Paul people being both acutely annoying AND 
quite harmless. They can mostly be ignored. Someone might dig up from 
the web some short but particularly revealing quote from him on gays or 
migrants. It's not reallly worthwhile arguing with Ron Paul people, but 
having something like that in one's hip pocket as it were might be 
useful at times.
