Nelson Linder is the Austin branch President of the NAACP:

Alex Jones (the host) is a conspiracy theorist and a supporter of Ron Paul. Ron Paul has been on his show many times:

This is not an endorsement by the NAACP and does not represent their opinion. No press release has been issued:

In another interview Nelson Linder says “I met Ron Paul about 20 years ago on another station and he was doing a presentation and I called in and talked to him.”
It doesn’t sound like he has been a close friend to Ron Paul and could accurately speak about his character. It would be more fair to say he’s know of Ron Paul for 20 years:
Why might Linder support Ron Paul and does this change anything:
