So, I wake up this morning and read this e-mail:
I just read your article titled “A Question for Ron Paul”.
And I have a question for you. Since you love the Neocon agenda so much, why don’t you sign up for a long stint in the military, and if you’re too old, why not urge your children to join?
As is the US military is underrepresented with Jews and needs more Jews to sign up so they don’t sound like the hypocritical war mongers they are.
http://www.njjewishnews.com/njjn.com/2004/31104/commilitary.html
Since Jewish neocons are so prevalent among those banging the war drums, why don’t you promote Jews serving in the miltary instead of bashing gentiles who don’t want to serve Jewish interests?
And there was this comment in my other article, which is more typical for public statements (note the “on behalf of,” since we’re their servant and all):
A neocon is anyone who endorses an interventionalist foreign policy (primarily on behalf of Israel) overseas and a welfare state back home.
Then there was this comments on my Debra Medina article:
Typical Jew writer, without any foreknowlage of Ms. Madinas record he worries if she wont support Isreal first. Yes Jew writer guy, im sure USA will still pour billions into yuor state tresury.
The first thing you’re probably thinking is this: These are isolated examples. They aren’t representative of Ron Paul, and they certainly aren’t representative of his supporters.
I don’t know about that. I think that his most fervent supporters are more anti-Semitic than not. The only time that I ever receive anti-Semitic comments is when I criticize Ron Paul or one of his minions. I am not, in fact, Jewish, although I have great respect for Jewish culture. But the Paultards always assume I am; they cannot fathom why a person would want to support Israel, or that someone could honestly disagree with them without having some kind of ulterior motive. More importantly, though: why don’t I get these kinds of comments from angry Sarah Palin supporters when I disagree with her?
Ron Paul, it must be understood, is not strictly a libertarian. He is staunchly anti-immigration, pro-life, and a deep believer in the Christian faith. He pines for the days when Fortress America was still a recognizable ideal, and cites Robert Taft as his key political inspiration. These Old Right Libertarians — the faction Paul represents — have always had a massive paranoid streak. These are the kinds of folks that joined the John Birch Society in the 1960s, comprised the militias in the 1990s (still today, sometimes, actually), and are reading Lew Rockwell and supporting Ron Paul today. (Alas, this is not an exaggeration; I have met several militia members, all of whom support Ron Paul.) Members of the white nationalist Internet forum Stormfront support Ron Paul and only Ron Paul — if anyone at all (can’t be too sure!). This is what Arianna Huffington and Rachel Maddow think Glenn Beck represents. Ron Paul is who actually represents it.
The Old Right is, of course, a dying faction, but it has a deep mistrust of all “out-groups” and those that it cannot immediately identify as working for its own interests. Jews, the perpetual out-group, make for an obvious target of paranoia. The government, a strange, amorphous beast working for its own interests, cannot be trusted even to tell the truth about something as simple as 9/11, as witnessed by Debra Medina, who “needs more facts” about 9/11 to decide whether it was an inside job. Her lackeys online have declared Glenn Beck the enemy for asking a ‘mean and irrelevant’ question. How out of touch can you possibly be with the rest of America?
A lot of Paultards have become Internet-savvy and know how to work the “New Anti-Semitism” — they criticize Israel, “the Zionists,” and “the neocons” rather than saying “Jewish” outright. But if you scratch the surface, you see what lies beneath: “working for the interests of Israel” — as opposed to what? The interests of America. And why would one consciously work against America’s interests, on behalf of a random country of six million in the Middle East? Well, it’s because it’s the Jewish state, of course, and the “Israel Lobby” (Jew lobby) knows how to manipulate American leaders.
This is dog-whistle stuff for their fellow supporters. Rest assured, the other Paultards know exactly what is meant by “neocon” and “Israel lobby.” (They probably know what the term “ZOG” means, too.) Rank-and-file Paul supporters are mostly innocent of this, I imagine, but Paul’s most fervent supporters are knee-deep in anti-Semitism. After a while, you just have to put two and two together and call something for what it is. And that’s what it is: anti-Semitism. (When will Sarah Palin dissociate herself from this bizarre sect and retract her endorsement of Rand Paul?)
100% bull excrement. You peace-nicks couldn’t beat a team of gay pigmies in straight jackets. Take your head out of your azz. War is necessary. You are a fool.
That’s it?....you gonna call me on posting the word “asshole”?
*shrug*
I’m going to call you on excusing rape, torture, and the filling of mass graves at he hands of saddam in order to push a current politcal agenda....
Which one of us is more offensive?
You guys turned the whole country isolationist. Now elected Republicans are terrified to talk about doing anything about Iran. You have to use power responsibly.
I know that is your point. It is simply wrong and you have provided no support other than your own rewriting of history.
About other countries developing nukes, it was the undermining of the invasion of Iraq that prevented any action taken against Iran. Which you oppose and have opposed anyway, so don’t pretend that you aren’t perfectly satisfied with Iran and North Korea developing as many nukes as they like. Otherwise, you’d have to give up on the isolationism.
If we couldn’t invade Iraq (which signed a treaty saying, “We are your bitch” in 1991) then what hope do we have of even dissuading Iran.
And people weren’t driven to Ron Paul, they were driven to Obama, you moron.
“you guys”
Outed yourself there bud....
BTW the RP twins are both against intervention in Iran...
RE :”I’m going to call you on excusing rape, torture, and the filling of mass graves at he hands of saddam in order to push a current politcal agenda”
Never did such a thing. If that was the reason then Condi should have got on TV with evidence of that rather than those roving labs, and then the counrty would have had a different debate.
I still think that work aXXXX is only allowed at DU not here, could be wrong.
I say again, 100% BS. Just admit you wouldn’t go to war for any reason ... then we might be getting somewhere. You are a complete fool.
Everyone is against Iraq invasion now. Dont you get it? You never see Palin talking about Iraq, or anyone running for office.
The days of calling anyone liberal for that was the period of 2003 when Cheney was talking about Mushroom clouds. It’s over.
You are just making up nonsense. I am against wars that elect democrats and isolationists and help Iran develope NUKES.
Yeah, and you’re an idiot troll.
Look, ah, FR fully supports the Bush doctrine against terrorist states:

If you want to preach cowardice or surrender, take your troll account elsewhere!!
I don’t know about many, shouldn’t tar Paul supporters with the charge of antisemitism, but he’s the only candidate from either party who has willingly accepted the support of world class Jewhaters, racists, Holocaust deniers and felons. His choice, every incoming dollar counts after all, but this really is fringe stuff. If teapartiers or whoever walk the Paul line, they’ll marginalize themselves. This has nothing to do with the GOP, an actual political party of some significance, who Paul doesn’t support. Runs under their banner of course, that’s to his advantage.
Old Saddam using the money he reaped from the UN scam of ‘oil for rotten food’ to provide those homicide bombers families, of whatever ethic persuasion, was enough of reason to pluck his tail feathers. Regardless of what any other ethnicity or religion has to say about what Bush did.
Ron Paul has NO clue what it means to be the only super power of this globe....
And if you call me a neocon or any other name, it’ll be your last post on FR. Since you don’t agree with anything we stand for here on FR, why don’t you get the hell off of it! Troll!!

“Everyone is against Iraq invasion now. Dont you get it?”
No...everyone ISNT...in case you didnt notice...Now Biden is even trying to take CREDIT FOR IT.
“You never see Palin talking about Iraq, or anyone running for office.”
Iraq is a done deal...over....we won...move on....
“The days of calling anyone liberal for that was the period of 2003 when Cheney was talking about Mushroom clouds. It’s over.”
Ah... but I didnt call you a liberal....you just self identify...
Very few REAL neo-cons here JR....I’m one of the few...
A former liberal mugged by reality.
Utter nonsense. Obama took lots of money from Black racists. Obama took tons of money from Palestinians and other foreign donors.

Not innuendo, circumstances where a kill the whites fellow or a felon who tried to overthrow a white government in the name of his blackness was outed for contributions, and Obama said, that's OK, I'll spend his money better than he would.
You won't find any, but I'm listening.
Because Obama isn't stupid.
And yes, I'm aware of the Gaza operations, including the fact that Obama, not being stupid, returned the donations that could be identified.
If your point is that Paul is OK with Jewhaters in the same way that Obama is OK with black racists, OK, I won't disagree. The left has their Obama, you have yours.
