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.
“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””
It’s common sense that giving away foreign aid borrowed from China isn’t foreign aid at all, it’s putting our country’s future into servitude for others’ welfare. If you believe that being against borrowing money to give it away to Israel is anti-Semitic, I guess you must think that if Paul doesn’t advocate foreign aid to Saudi Arabia he’s anti-Arab, or to Indonesia he’s anti-Muslim. Smear merchants like you are just sickening examples of the inability of the typical neocon to debate cogent arguments against his policy. You can’t even begin to say something like “Israel has to be an exception because...” Instead, you go right to “oh, he must be anti-Semitic.” As if you make your case to those on the fence by simply slurring Paul. It’s complete crap like your comments that CREATE prejudice, just as hearing Jesse Jackson trot out the race card every time someone attacks racial set-asides creates racial animosity.
The shoe doesn’t fit. I’m being a smart-a** because many of the posters on this article are crazier than Ron Paul. I won’t make the mistake of posting on an Israeli article again. I don’t want to be compared to Mengele for having a non 100% supportive thought.
What if I support Israel but don’t support Americans being taxed to support Israel? Am I anti-Semitic then?
That sounds exactly like his kind of logic.
When Israel attacked a nuclear reactor in Iraq in 1981, almost the entire U.S. Congress voted to condemn the act. Ron Paul was one of the few dissenters: he voted against the condemnation and in favor of Israel’s right to self-determination.
If foreign aid to all countries were stopped immediately, Israel would be the biggest net beneficiary. This is because the U.S. pays much more foreign aid to Israel’s enemies combined than to Israel.
“Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how Israel runs her affairs,” the Texas Republican wrote in a May 20 press statement. “There can only be peace in the region if those sides work out their differences among one another. We should respect Israel’s sovereignty and not try to dictate her policy from Washington.”
You’re for giving money to Stormfront, then? Shame, shame! You must be anti-Semitic.
Pat Buchanan cashed multiple checks from front groups that Michael Moore dreamed up. As I recall, the “John Wayne Gacy Fan Club,” “Abortionists for Buchanan,” and a couple others were in the mix. Would you rather that money was spent by Moore or Buchanan?
As I understand it that comes from his detractors because of his wish to end foreign-aid to Israel; however, this is not the whole of the matter: he wishes to end *ALL* foreign-aid.
And, the more I see the failings of the [federal] government, the more I’m inclined to agree... after all, if a man who doesn’t take care of his family is “worse than an unbeliever,”* what does that say about a government that neglects its own (as evidenced in things like Fast & Furious, Castaway, and all the other malfeasant/corrupt workings of our government)?

You sure you're on the right board? never mind not having a parallel argument?
So if you don’t support Israel you’re anti-Semitic? I don’t care about France either, am I anti-Gallic?
The last thing he cares about is the US Constitution. Forgot that John Adams said that the Constitution was meant to govern a "moral and religious people" and was "wholly inadequate to the government of any other"? That's not what Paul believes.
Ron Paul is pro-Constitution, not anti-Semitic
That doesn't make him any less antisemitic, especially when he's singled out Israel in such discourse. You don't end aid to allies, especially when they're surrounded by enemies. Paul has no sense of foreign policy whatsoever.
As I understand it that comes from his detractors because of his wish to end foreign-aid to Israel; however, this is not the whole of the matter: he wishes to end all foreign aid
I never said I was against Israel or for any of their enemies. If Israel gets in a war, I hope they destroy whomever it is. I just don’t whip out the you’re anti-Semetic card anytime someone questions their policies. I was born in the USA, I served in the USAF, and I support the USA. I have no other allegiances but to her.
Lame doesn’t even begin to describe your post.
I didn't say you were. Why did you feel the need to make this declaration?
I never said I was against Israel or for any of their enemies
Questions what policies? There are no policies of Israel that bear questioning. There is, however, a lot of anti-Israel propaganda all over the media, and that bears questioning. Would you stand for people propagandizing against the USA falsely?

Thank you for your service, but I don't understand your declarations vis-à-vis allegiance. The USA is not a nation at enmity with every other nation-state on the planet. Being loyal to allies does not require betraying allegiance to the USA, and I don't see how anyone could think that it would.
I was born in the USA, I served in the USAF, and I support the USA. I have no other allegiances but to her
Semetic = Semitic
her = Her
ROFLMAO! There’s the pot calling the kettle black.
I made my declaration because I was called anti-Semitic earlier on in the comments section.(not by you though)
I’m all for selling military equipment to Israel, but I’m not okay with just sending them taxpayer dollars. (I shouldn’t have said their policies, but ours)
People verbally slander the US everyday. Many are Americans. I’m used to their BS by now.
I don’t think Israel needs our help. They could whoop any of their neighboring enemies. I guess I’m just tired of us having to help everyone when they seem like they are ungrateful about it.
Ron Paul is a isolationist, anti-military, anti-war, anti-defense, slightly anti-Semitic guy who would spread Sharia Law/Islamofascism across the USA. He either believes in 9-11 truther conspiracies or he thinks we should question the official account of 9-11. He would cut off aid and help to Israel and other nations that support the USA. He makes the case why the Islamic Terrorists hate the United States and as such he is making the case as to why they attack us. So his thinking is it is bad that the US went into Iraq, Afghanistan and gets involved in conflicts around the globe.
His anti-American foreign policy views are anti-conservative. And his base is against not only the Neo-Conservative viewpoints, but also against nation building and support the anti-jew viewpoint. Alot of the Ron Paul; radio loving people, not all, but you can’t escape it in some corners of the web and radio, talk day and night about Zionists and Israel.
So Ron Paul loses all and any credibility with the Conservative/Republican Base real fast. At times since Paul is all over the place he even sounds like democrat Dennis Kucinich.
So does that mean Ron Paul can’t count on your donation to his campaign today?
