I'm beginning to think so. He's acting like a KKK grand whatever. Always DID think he was nutty.
“Nonetheless NONE of the dozen or so fans of his I know are anti-semitic or pro-Farrakhan or pro-islam in any way.”
That may be true for the Ron Paul fans YOU KNOW, but it would seem that there are such people among the Ron Paul fans, for they provided the link to the “Final Call” screed blaming the west’s belated anti-Qaddafi mood on a cabal of Jewish bankers.
Among less well-educated and less well-informed Conservatives there is a sizable quotient that DO subscribe to any number of conspiracy theories and who do frequently, in my opinion, place themselves in the body of any number of populist causes espoused by very un-Conservative people.
I am not terribly surprised that among Ron Paul supporters in dialogue on his website were some who made, and knew of, the link to Farrakan’s Jewish Conspiracy theory.
There may be no direct link to Ron Paul himself in THIS matter, though he his not known in Congress as an ardent defender of Israel, and some would go as far as to say he has been an opponent of the extent of U.S. support for Israel - an extent that some of us Conservatives would characterize as often not supportive enough.
forget the site, he made an alliance with Ralph Nader? He made an anti-Israel/anti-US speech on Iranian TV? I bet he had something to do with himself.
Farrakhan isn’t a Joo!-hater for making the speech, but Ron Paul is for linking the video. Now if you nibble on the mushroom you’ll shrink, Alice.
This is kind of a cheap shot. Paul has enough real baggage. No need to manufacture stuff.
And why is anyone surprised? Ron Paul has an ugly history of anti-Semitism & anti-Israel sentiments.
He is only gravitating towards his natural allies ... those who do not see Iran and militant Islam as an existential threat to America, not to mention Israel.
The site has been scrubbed. Google cached version here:
Kinda makes ya wonder why the Weeper of the House hasn’t put RuPaul in his place.
That’s called the “redistribution of wealth”.
“Nonetheless NONE of the dozen or so fans of his I know are anti-semitic or pro-Farrakhan or pro-islam in any way.”
He and most of his fans favor Palestine over Israel. That’s a Muslim/Jew issue for sure. And since his fans parrot his talking points, I guess they’re now also in favor of the Twelver in Iran getting nukes to accomplish his stated goal of wiping Israel off the map, then going after us.
I’m talking about all the dyed in the wool Paul fanati-bots. So maybe the few you know are just lukewarm, partial fans who don’t buy into the total program.
“ron paul has just given interviews or iranian TV that have come mighty close to, if not outright, treason. He should be called on it immediately.”
His fellow Congressmen should raise hell. I’d love to hear what Allen West, for instance, thinks about all this.
And, what SHOULD happen is for this to be brought up in the next debate. I dare any candidate to be brave enough to do it.
When our enemies like him and are cheering him on, it’s a HUGE red flag.
“The main point of Farrakhan’s speech...meets with broad approval among at least this group of Paul supporters. I wonder what Ron Paul would say about it?”
RP sets the tone with his supporters.
“I think many Paul supporters do not actually know what he believes or how he has voted.”
I think the majority are kids, peace-nicks, pro-drug legalization and favor conscience-free lifestyles. But of those who do actually subscribe to the other things he believes, I’ve seen, read and heard many who slam Israel for everything and are as anti-semitic as RP is.
“Then, I started reading some of Lew Rockwell’s nonsense and returned to planet Earth.”
Bless you for being honest in admitting that. You’d be so great in arguing issues with these guys. Do you try doing that, since you used to be one of them, and if so, what’s the response?
“I wish the other candidates would start attacking him already.”
No kidding. Now THAT’d be a debate!!
“Ideologues like you don’t know how to elect anyone but a RINO.”
That’s inaccurate and unfair, IMO. Calling anyone who disagrees with RP a RINO, un-Conservative, etc., is the same as BHO’s followers calling anyone who disagrees with him a Racist.

Need a job? The MSM or NAACP will hire you to play the race card.
They hate me like poison, but I don’t care.
My main concern is that the lazy and arrogant media is going to tie RuPaul and his cyberstormtroopers to the Conservative Movement, setting us back for decades.
Not on my watch.
Rick Santorum did, albeit briefly.
If they’re not going to do it, I will.
