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.

Readers can see is the same as the photo of Jim C Perry here as leader of Jews for Paul pictured (with rainbow necklace) in the main article....
I am sure the Paulites will have an excuse for this as well. Maybe a UFO kidnapped the real Jews for Paul who were making such great progress in winning over the white supremacists and replaced them with Gay Pagan Unitarians? Somebody should call the producers of South Park and sell them this story.
I attended a Unitarian funeral once. I couldn’t figure out who died, who the mourners were, who the minister was or when the service started or finished.
“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.”
I stopped right there.
On second thought, even that wouldn't be breaking news...
If Ron Paul is such a fake candidate, why do you act so worried?
Ouch! (over here, it’s going to get lively)
You know, political fraud is not something you hear a lot about, but I betcha it happens more than is reported. Or at least it wouldn’t surprise me at all. There is a lot of poltiical fraud that goes on in my state. TONS!
....the horse looked radiant.
(not that there's anyting wrong with that.)
I will be leaving Jews for Ron Paul effective immediately, to start work on two new projects:
Illegal Immigrants for Tancredo, andInsurance Executives for Edwards*
*Intended that as a joke, but apparently insurance industry people have contributed $127,000 to Edwards. Are they insane?
I'm shocked..........
PING! ;)
NEOCONS ARE LIKE LIBERALS
if you disagree with them, you must be some kind of racist homophobe! LOL!
ROTFL, that sounds like a great one-liner in a stand-up routine.

Coffey (Andover, NH) of the Second Amendment Sisters; Rich Goldman (Baltimore, MD) of the Free State Project; Aaron Zelman (Hartford, WI) of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership; and member emeritas, Aaron Russo (1943-2007), the late prominent Hollywood film producer.

You don’t know? Shh. Its still going on, please keep your head bowed.
Ping on “Jews for Run Paul.”
When RP finally gets the attention you have been demanding, you say we are “worried”? No—We are laughing! Jews for paul headed by a gay pagan Universalist pretending to be Orthodox??? I am laughing so hard I can barely type. This has truly exceeded the point of self-parody.
