He took and kept money from Stormfront. That tells you something right there.
My impression is that he hates equally. He’s been pushing for the US to stop foreign aid to all countries, defund the UN, etc. for 30+ years.
Yes. period.
Just plain nuts IMO
No more so than Pat Buchanan . . . OOPS! LOL
I don’t know if he is anti-Semitic, but he is definitely NOT pro-Israel.
He just proposed last night pulling the rug out from under Israel our greatest ally.... claiming our foreign aid is making them dependent.
He also parroted radical Islamic arguments in a previous debate that got his ass booed real good. (claimed that it is our involvement overseas and support of Israel that brought us 9/11.)
Does he use derogatory labels like Hymie or Jew pig like other anti-semites? no... but he doesn’t sound like he is any friend of Jews or Israel.
Typical Big Media Ploy to insert into the record stupid irrelevant accusations against conservatives:
Sir, experts have said [insert stupid irrelevant accusation] How do you respond.
His antisemitism is a little bit bizarre, too. While contemporary antisemites play switcheroo and say the Jews and the new Nazis, Rep. Paul has a variation on that where sympathizers of Jews; i.e., those that wanted to build another holocaust memorial are Nazis, also.
He also doesn't want Israel to bomb Iran (as if it is any of his business) because if Israel does, Red China will dump our dollars. Not to mention his sympathy for Iran itself.
While Howard Dean returned a donation from an antisemitic group; Ron Paul intead took it and their views on the Middle East may be similiar.
Ron Paul is pro-Constitution, not anti-Semitic.
For a historical perspective, when John Quincy Adams served as U. S. Secretary of State, he delivered this speech to the U.S. House of Representatives on July 4, 1821, in celebration of American Independence Day.
“And now, friends and countrymen, if the wise and learned philosophers of the elder world, the first observers of nutation and aberration, the discoverers of maddening ether and invisible planets, the inventors of Congreve rockets and Shrapnel shells, should find their hearts disposed to enquire what has America done for the benefit of mankind?
Let our answer be this: America, with the same voice which spoke herself into existence as a nation, proclaimed to mankind the inextinguishable rights of human nature, and the only lawful foundations of government. America, in the assembly of nations, since her admission among them, has invariably, though often fruitlessly, held forth to them the hand of honest friendship, of equal freedom, of generous reciprocity.
She has uniformly spoken among them, though often to heedless and often to disdainful ears, the language of equal liberty, of equal justice, and of equal rights.
She has, in the lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception, respected the independence of other nations while asserting and maintaining her own.
She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings, as to the last vital drop that visits the heart.
She has seen that probably for centuries to come, all the contests of that Aceldama the European world, will be contests of inveterate power, and emerging right.
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.
But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example.
She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom.
The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force....
She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit....
[America’s] glory is not dominion, but liberty. Her march is the march of the mind. She has a spear and a shield: but the motto upon her shield is, Freedom, Independence, Peace. This has been her Declaration: this has been, as far as her necessary intercourse with the rest of mankind would permit, her practice.”

Oh, how far we have come from our fathers principles.
I don't think those represented Paul's actual thoughts and feelings, just those of the people he trusted. But he didn't care enough to exercise the proper oversight or control over how his name was used. I'm not aware that he repudiated the articles or fired the people who had them printed.
I suspect it's the same with this Stormfront controversy. He didn't solicit money from Nazis or endorse their platform or associate with them. When pressed he repudiated their support. But the feeling is that he wasn't as on top of things as he should have been or as sensitive to what people regard as ... well, ... sensitive matters.
Unabashedly anti-Israel. Hard to argue that he isn’t pro Palestinian and pro Iranian. So much so that he reminds me of Jimmy Carter. there could be fresh bodies in the street from a mentally disabled suicide bomber tricked into martyrdom and both Carter & Paul couldn’t find a way to condemn the perps. I Suspect they both receive funding from those sources. I love what he has to say financially and constitutionally but that’s it. Could only vote fr him if it was him or Obama in the general. Hope he never makes it that far.
Ron Paul doesn't want to send money anywhere therefore Ron Paul won't send money to Israel therefore he must be anti-semitic.
That's the loopy argument I've always seen.
If there's something else, it's been lost to me in the noise above.
Nope Ron Paul is everyones crazy old uncle that shows up at reunions and everyone avoids him
Not only is he anti-Semitic, he’s racist, sexist, homophobic, a Soros clone, steals from the poor and gives to the rich, and secretly Meghan McCain’s love slave.
Nice job in putting the slur back on the table, just as Cooper took that Paul was against ONE country in the entire world from Ron Paul saying “I would cut all foreign aid.” If Paul is anti-Semitic, Romney is anti-Mormon.
As I understand it that comes from his detractors because of his wish to end foreign-aid to Israel; however, this is not the whole of the matter: he wishes to end *ALL* foreign-aid.
And, the more I see the failings of the [federal] government, the more I’m inclined to agree... after all, if a man who doesn’t take care of his family is “worse than an unbeliever,”* what does that say about a government that neglects its own (as evidenced in things like Fast & Furious, Castaway, and all the other malfeasant/corrupt workings of our government)?

Ron Paul is a isolationist, anti-military, anti-war, anti-defense, slightly anti-Semitic guy who would spread Sharia Law/Islamofascism across the USA. He either believes in 9-11 truther conspiracies or he thinks we should question the official account of 9-11. He would cut off aid and help to Israel and other nations that support the USA. He makes the case why the Islamic Terrorists hate the United States and as such he is making the case as to why they attack us. So his thinking is it is bad that the US went into Iraq, Afghanistan and gets involved in conflicts around the globe.
His anti-American foreign policy views are anti-conservative. And his base is against not only the Neo-Conservative viewpoints, but also against nation building and support the anti-jew viewpoint. Alot of the Ron Paul; radio loving people, not all, but you can’t escape it in some corners of the web and radio, talk day and night about Zionists and Israel.
So Ron Paul loses all and any credibility with the Conservative/Republican Base real fast. At times since Paul is all over the place he even sounds like democrat Dennis Kucinich.
Another Ron Paul post! Come join the carnage.....
Ping!
