I've heard the accusations, but is it true? I don't support him for POTUS by the way, I'm just curious what others think.
Saddam Hussein had weakened his country's military so much it was obviously just a matter of time until the Iranians restarted the previous Iran/Iraq war.
That would put Iraq's oil, as well as that of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States at risk of being taken over by Iran.
Can't have that.
The Farleftwingtards in the Democrat party buy into the "about Israel" thesis so much they come off looking like the anti-Semites they really are. The guys over here just hate giving money away (fighting a war or providing military aid) when it involves Jews.
Bush(43) is being attacked ostensibly for spending too much money on a Middle Eastern war. It's really about the hatred or dislike his critics have for Israel or Jews. You'll find the same folks supporting Ron Paul ~ who is equally anti-Semitic.
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.
Yes.
"I don’t care about France either, am I anti-Gallic?"
Yes, but nobody will hold it against you.
What do you think about the Skolt?
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.
The real question is: Does Ron Paul wish to treat Israel differently than he would treat other countries?
Because of the America hater and appeaser in the Whitehouse now, Iraq is becoming a satellite of Iran. And this so-called Arab Spring is more like an Ahmadinejad Spring with his view predominating there.
If a Republican were in the Whitehouse now, this probably wouldn't have happened (unless the Republican was Dr. Paul, of course).
Nope Ron Paul is everyones crazy old uncle that shows up at reunions and everyone avoids him
They have a good hockey team.
RP made the argument that it was OK for Iran to have nukes because they need them since Israel has them.
Rather than sticking to his (equally idiotic) concept of non-intervention, he chose to morally equate Israel ( a country that has established peace agreements with Arab countries Egypt and Jordan and exhibited a determination to establish peace in the region) with Iran (a country that has THREATENED not only Israel but also Arab countries Saudi Arabia and Iraq as well as sponsor INTERNATIONAL — not intra-regional — terrorism)
At the last debate he also argued against intl aid because of the example of our support of Egypt that is now likely to bite us in the butt. Again he equates a dictatorship with a Democracy.
This leads to the conclusion that RP is either stupid and naive or he can’t help but be anti-Israel.
Some might say he is consistent, but stubborn consistency in favor of common sense is IMHO no different than school districts that say “that’s our (zero-tolerance) policy”
Oh well then.
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.
You'll find a lot of people feel that way and will trash anyone trying to have rational discussions about Israel's government policies on their own merits.
Many of these same people have a Faith view that America must support Israel no matter what policies it undertakes, no matter that statements its elected leaders make.
I find that view antithetical to the fundamental idea there are moral absolutes, right and wrong, but that's some people's personal Faith position and they will savagely attack those who don't share their viewpoint.
For them Israel can do no wrong, is above any and all criticism and a bedrock opposition to using checkbook diplomacy anywhere is seen through a narrow prism as an attack on Israel and the Jewish people.
In a large way it reminds me of the use of the race card by the Left to destroy debate and demonize those with other viewpoints.
Only half anti-semetic.
Please. He has somehow managed to avoid EVER criticizing Palistinians while slamming Israel every time he speaks. If he was even handed he would have some pro Israel and some anti Palistinian commentary. Good luck finding it, it doesn’t exist.
You make an excellent point. I totally agree.
So I’m not all bad. Kind of like the Captain Jack Sparrow of anti-Semetics.
If the shoe fits.
