Ron Paul, the Anti-Republican candidate for President and a favorite of White Supremacists like David Duke, has unveiled a new defense strategy to counter charges of Anti-semitism. The campaign of the candidate who claims to disdain ethnic collectivism now boasts an organization called "Jews for Ron Paul."
If Jews for Ron Paul puts you in mind of Jews for Jesus, you're not far wrong. Because Jews for Ron Paul is a scam.
Jim C. Perry, the Executive Director of Jews for Ron Paul and heavily featured as the spokesman for the front group. Like many Jews for Jesus figures, Jim C. Perry claims to be an Orthodox Jew. The JTA article featured many of Perry's grandiose claims.
For Perry, an Orthodox Jew, there is a connection between his own religious beliefs about personal responsibility and the Libertarian philosophy underpinning Paul's candidacy.
"It's the idea that people are meant to be equal and free in a just society. Those are the same things that draw me to be an observant Orthodox Jew," said Perry. "I believe Judaism puts strong emphasis on individual meaning, personal responsibility," he said, adding that God "calls us to take responsibility for our own actions.".
Here I am a kipah-wearing, fringes-hanging Orthodox Jew...
The real Jim C. Perry though is not an Orthodox Jew, though he makes a point of dressing up like one until he's virtually a cartoon. He's gay and a self-identified Churchgoing Unitarian Universalist. Here he identifies himself as a Seminarian. He has another account where he calls himself Reverend Jim C. Perry H.P., M.D.A. (he also claimed to have a doctorate in English which he apparently modestly left off here all at the tender age of 22) and a Pagan Minister. Briefly he appears to have gone Ward Churchill and began calling himself Jim FlyingEagle. (He may have also used James L. Rush and posted at Cherokee Pride as James L. Rushing River pretending to be Cherokee)
Now Jim C. Perry, Gay Pagan Unitarian Minister (possibly also Cherokee and Mormon), thanks to a few photos in costume, is being passed off as an Orthodox Jew. A clear and unambiguous lie. Like everything else in the Ron Paul campaign, Jim C. Perry and Jews for Ron Paul is a lie.
Under the user name XSOIDEI, Jim C. Perry has posted at pagan sites as "Pagan GOP"
GOP NOT KKK
by Pagan GOP (Concord, NH)
I am quite offended by the person who the comment that the KKK and GOP are one and the same. I am a PROUD Republican and Pagan. I was hurt by your comments.
No, I do not support the War in Iraq, no Republican in his right mind would! Bob Barr, Ron Paul and Orrin Hatch, all GOPer in Congress were OPPOSED to the War!
I am very Liberty Minded.

Since universal unitarians are actually compatible with paganism this may not be a contradiction or it may be another case of Ron Paul supporters pretending to be members of various groups to rally support for him. There are signs of this with Jim C. Perry because he also appears to have been joining Mormon groups. Jim C. Perry or "Yaakov Perry" as he calls himself on the phony Yahoo Jews for Ron Paul group has penned announcements on behalf of "Jews for Paul" shilling for Ron Paul on Digg under YaakovPerry. There he has claimed to be Chabad, but here he claimed to be gay and a quaker.
Perry, who is gay, said he wants to help Democratic lawmakers protect and extend civil liberties in New Hampshire. Perry's marriage is recognized by his Quaker faith but not New Hampshire law.
He appears to run New England Flags and to be married to a man named Armen. If you're getting bored of this the sum total is that Jim C. Perry is a lot of things, including compulsive liar. He is not an Orthodox Jew. Jews for Ron Paul which he runs is a scam.
When I first wrote about Ron Paul, I noticed a burst of comments from people claiming to be Jewish and Ron Paul supporters. I suspected that most of them were fake, probably at least one of them was really Jim C. Perry who moonlights as a Jewish Ron Paul supporter, when he's not being a Pagan Ron Paul supporter, a Cherokee or a Unitarian Universalist. The JTA story on the Ron Paul campaign and Jim C. Perry or Yakov Perry needs to be changed to reflect the fact that he is not an Orthodox Jew.

First, are you assuming those guys are Jewish jsut because of their last names and jobs? Of course, the guy in the Jewish pro-gun group is excepted from my question.
Second, are you actually saying that the fact that ob jecting to the fact that Jews for Ron Paul is run by a gay pagan Unitarian is a "litmus test" for Jewishness? Would you write that same "litmus test" stuff if the organization was Jews for Fred Thompson?
Third, what color is the sky on your planet?
Jane Badler...Yowza!
I don't know if that's sick or brilliant.
Ooh yeah, and now we're terrified of that 4% he's drawing in Iowa. Oh jeez, he might win the nomination!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go have butt reattachment surgery. Your last two posts made me laugh it right off.
[SNICKER] Yeah, he self-identifies as a gay pagan Unitarian, but he could still be an ethnic Jew! Oh man, the Ministry of Silly Explanations never fails to disappoint.
Do you really have nine fingers?
This is the photo I used on my Christmas cards last year...
Nah...I've got all ten of 'em. LOL
You're right, he hasn't banned you, but he has said this:
"Ron Paul and his flaming antiwar spam monkeys can Kiss my Ass!!" -- Jim Robinson, 09/30/07
Any questions?
What are you, a desk sergeant in the PC police? You sound like a lib. Nobody has said anything in this thread that is hateful against Unitarians and gays.
You've got nothing, and it shows. The Ministry of Silly Explanations is still silly when it goes into attack mode.
Were you aware that there are Jewish organizations who call "Jews for Jesus" a flase Jewish group because in their view a Jew who has left the faith for another isn't in the club anymore, ethnic background be damned?
And let's deal with reality here: A Unitarian isn't a real anything except a Unitarian.
Take your male bovine fecal matter outrage back to MiniSilEx HQ.
You liar! Of course, the Paulestinians would say I’m judging you, because even though you have ten fingers, you could come from a nine-fingered ethnic background...
I think you’re on to something.
There you go again, masking your fear with childish humor.
Here's one example, from YOUR OWN hand:
"As far as I can tell, Unitarianism is just a social club for socialists that happens to meet on Sunday. I mean, were talking aboput a religion where you can join it even if you believe theres no God. All these people have in common is their politics and their bloated sense of moral superiority."
Now how would that paragraph of yours sound if someone had written that about Judaism instead of Unitarianism?
Well, you know, even a blind pig can find a truffle. :-)
Yes, I'll admit it, you got me. I'm really, really afraid that none of the other 7 Republican hopefuls will be able to beat a guy who has truthers and neo-Nazis flocking to his banner, wants to pull funds from the troops while they're in combat, and is willing to appear on Alex Jones' radio show and in his documentaries. Yes, since Paul has no weaknesses for them to exploit, I'm sure he'll beat them all with one hand behind his back.
Yeah, sure, and I'm going to be Mr. Olympia next year. Man, you might as well have accused me of being scared of a Beanie Baby.
