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.

The reason Paulists “infest” this “great forum” is that the great JimRob doesn’t ban us. Complain to him if it upsets you so much.
Hmmm....does this mean, in your view, that all Israelis who are atheist or agnostic (a very high percentage of that country’s population) are not “legitimate” Jews?
...yet
“yet” what? You’re not usually so tongue-tied. What gives?
No, neither athiests nor agnostics have converted to another faith. Nor are they the issue of the thread.
Jews who convert to the Quaker faith are not Jews, they're Quakers.
Jews who convert to Unitarianism are not Jews, they're Unitarians.
Jews who convert to Islam or Catholicism are not Jews, they're Muslims or Catholics.
Jews who become Hindus are Hindus, and on and on.
And yes, though I've never heard of it, they could properly refer to themselve as Jewish apostates or heretics.
It's beyond me why so many people can't wrap their minds around such a simple concept, or why they care.
Do you think it's a plus for the Paul campaign to peddle this dude as a representative of the Jewish community. I've a clue for you, it makes the Paul folk look like nutballs at best.
Did you read the parting shot from the Libertarian Party. They seem to be accusing your boy of being a thief. Is that the face Ron Paul wants on his campaign?
I hope Jim C Perry isn’t the same Jim Perry I went to high school with, and was golf pro at The Cedars!
Nope! Not the same Jim Perry! Sigh!
I like how people here are accusing Ron Paul of antisemitism, but in the same breath mock the Unitarian Church and gays.
And who also set themselves up as the judges of which people are “real” Jews and which people are “phony Jews.”
Ten Million Paulistinian excuses and rationalizations:
# 10,949,487
“I like how people here are accusing Ron Paul of antisemitism, but in the same breath mock the Unitarian Church and gays.”
# 10,949,488
“And who also set themselves up as the judges of which people are ‘real’ Jews and which people are ‘phony Jews.’”
Uh, gay pagan Unitarians are phony Jews. I don’t have difficulty “judging” that. The only people who don’t seem to be able (pretend not to be able) to “judge” that are you and your RP buddies.
You all continue to embarass yourselves by these threadbare atempts to deflect attention from RP. (well you would if you were going by your real names, but you aren’t so you don’t) Nothing you can say (accurate or not) about the prejudices or hypocrisies of others excuses the prejudices or hypocrisies of RP and his campaign.
But I gotta admire your stick-to-it-iveness. It takes real moxie to defend a candidate whose “Jews for Paul” group is exposed as a fraud headed by a gay pagan Unitarian who pretends to be Jewish orthodox. Antonio Gramsci would be proud—that is if he was capable of feeling pride.
It shows skill as a Gramscian operative to carefully steer discussion in such a direction. On the other hand, it may just prove that you have a LOT of time on your hands and maybe welfare reform hasn’t been taken far enough in your state.
Too bad you aren’t applying those skills to undermine (Islamist) social order in Iran. If you learn Farsi you might be able to help us avoid a war there. Start by translating this: “No Nukes!”
Oh, that’s right Ron Paul says he won’t “do much of anything” if Iran gets nukes. I must point out that even cockroaches have an instinct for survival. I hope that one day you and all the other Paulistinians will rise to the level of cockroaches.
A liberal who likes money too much to be a liberal.
Quit spamming the threads with BS. Thanks.
Actually, there's not a lot of similarity, because the Jews in Jews for Jesus are actual Jews, not gay pagans.
It’ll be fun to see what the Minsitry of Silly Explanations comes up with for this one.
As far as I can tell, Unitarianism is just a social club for socialists that happens to meet on Sunday. I mean, we’re talking aboput a religion where you can join it even if you believe there’s no God. All these people have in common is their politics and their bloated sense of moral superiority.
You think the only reason to make fun of Ron Paul is if we're worried? That is so CUTE!!
LOL! Did you write that joke yourself? It’s really good.
ick Jagger, is that you?
Why call Ron Paul a racist homophobe (which I doubt he is) when I can quite legitimately call him a truther who gives aid and comfort to enemies foreign and domestic?
